Description: | A worked / knapped flint core of later Mesolithic date, circa 7000 - 4000 BC. The core is sub oval in plan and irregular in cross section. The flint is patinated on all surfaces in an uneven mid / light grey colour with some light specks. The removal scars indicate multi-directional working of long thin blades or flakes.Length: 27.65mm. Width: 21.58mm. Thickness: 15.18mm. Weight: 10.40gA preliminary interpretation of the flints, prior to recording, by P Reavil is that the assemblage is indicative of a site used sporadically / periodically in the later Mesolithic period and more intensively in the Neolithic with the core use of the site being between Early - Middle Neolithic 4,000 BC - 2750 BC. With sporadic use in Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age. (pers. comm. P. Reavil, March 2014)
