Description: | A Neolithic flint knife or multi-purpose tool. It is trapezoid in plan and has the lower left corner worked to a narrower stem. The proximal end has a flat striking platform that is angled down towards the ventral side. The platform is entirely worked with retouch. A clear bulb of percussion extends from the point of impact, located to one side of the platform. All edges are worked on the distal side only, apart from the narrowed parts of the stem which contains working on both sides. The flint is mottled grey-brown in colour. A small patch of cortex survives on the dorsal surface.
