Description: | A chunky looking blade with a finely serrated edge. It could be described as a piercer or serrated piece. The point has been blunted, probably from use. The serration is along the right and left hand edges and there are signs of gloss from use wear on the dorsal face. The right hand edge has patination along it.The flint is dark grey in colour with large speckles of lighter grey and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 169, fig. 71, No. 6 which is dated to the later Neolithic.
