The flake has been reworked from a piece of tertiary debitage. In plan, the flake is sub-rectangular, with rounded corners at the distal end. The section is sub-trapezoidal. The flint is medium grained, with a light grey / yellow patina with flecks of dark grey. The surfaces of the flint are matte. The ventral surface is smooth. A bulb of percussion is present but concoidal ripples are not discernible. The dorsal surface has 3 main facets with no evidence of re-working to the edges. The distal end terminates in a hinged fracture.The flake measures 20.50mm in length. The width is 13.98mm. Thickness is 2.92mm. Weight: 1.09g.
