Description: | A blade core fabricated from a nodule of pale brown flint. The core is narrow in section and sub-triangular in plan. There is a single striking platform created from two, parallel, transverse flakes removed from the widest end of the core. One face of the core has the scars from the removal of two, long blades. This area has started to recorticate to an off-white colour. The opposite face and part of one edge are covered in a thick, chalky, off-white cortex. The core probably dates to the Mesolithic period.
