Description: | An unpatinated struck flint object of uncertain form, possibly of Neolithic date. It is struck from a mottled brown flint, leaf shaped in form, oval in section with a flat break at the base end. There is a prominent bulb of percussion on the ventral face, with extensive flake removal and edge retouch on the dorsal face. The entire object measures 60.49mm in length, 54.62mm in width, 18.11mm in thickness and 59.70g in weight.The precise form and function of this object remains uncertain, although it is perhaps a fragment from an axe or similar. It is plausibly Neolithic in date although a later date range cannot be ruled out entirely.
