Description: | A complete flint notched microlith of Mesolithic date (10,000-4000 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in profile. The dorsal surface is slightly convex with six predominant negative scars and corresponding arrises. The proximal end has been abruptly blunted and the distal, left and right hand edges contain low angle retouch. There is a notched aspect situated along the mesial left hand edge. The ventral surface is smooth and slightly convex due to a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end with ripples of percussion emanating from it. There are some minor flake removals situated on the bulb of percussion and the mesial left hand edge.The flint is light grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout.
