The flake removals on the dorsal surface has created a ridge down the length of the adze along the midline. There is some later damage on the butt and both dorsal and ventral surfaces. The flint is dark grey, and mottled.Dimensions: length: 99.57mm; width: 41.72mm; thickness: 30.80mm; weight: 134.84g.Identification and illustration by Jon Cotton, Specialist in Prehistoric London.
