Description: | The piece has been hackled by burning, so it is impossible to tell which end is up (proximal from distal). However, the point is still sharp.The flint is burnt ashey darg grey in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of its brown secondary cortex.Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar piece on Page 135 Fig 59 No L155 which he calls a piercer and dates to the Neolithic.
