Description: | This piece may have been heated as it is "nobbly". The point has been retouched on all sides, so it may be described as an awl. The base is probably the ventral face, but this is difficult to define because the piece is abraded.The flint is dark grey in colour with white inclusions. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of its secondary cortex.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar piece on Page 169 Fig 71 No 4 which he calls a piercer and dates to the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age.
