Description: | A flint thumbnail scraper, it is roughly circular and appears to have been made from a modified flint 'pot lid'. There is evidence of working around large areas of the circumference where the edges have been retouched. The flint is greyish-white in colour being heavily patinated. It has some iron staining. The dorsal side retains the cortex. There is evidence that a newer flake has been removed from one side. Possibly Bronze Age (c2100 to c800 BC) but impossible to date accurately.The length is 24mm, the width is 21mm, the thickness is 7.5mm and the weight is 2.72g.
