Description: | A stone chisel, probably rhyolite possibly originally derived from Cheshire. A great deal of care has been taken in its manufacture. The shaping at the rear of the tool suggests it was made to be mounted at the end of a bone, antler or piece of wood. Dating between c8300 and c4500 BC, probably Mesolithic. Some waste flakes were found close by (LANCUM-9F98D5). It measures 31mm in length, 16.5mm in width, 8mm in thickness and weighs 6.2grms.
