The flake is formed from translucent, almost clear flint, with milky inclusions at each end. It is sub-triangular in plan and section, with the apex of the triangle at the right side. It has a central dorsal ridge, removed at the proximal end by further removals. There are small areas of cortex surviving on the left side. The centre of the left ide has been retouched from the dorsal face with abrupt sub-parallel retouch. The rest of the working is from the ventral face. There is short, abrupt, subparallel retouch on the right side at the proximal end (on one side of the point) and on the right hand corner of the distal end which is squared. The flake is 24.4mm long, 14.25mm wide and 3.6mm thick. 1.18g.
