Description: | An undatable Prehistoric flint probable core (rather than a handaxe roughout), which could be described as a crude discoidal flake core made on a well-rounded and worn flint cobble (Mike Trevarthen pers.comm. December 2014). Much of the cortex (c.50%) survives and where the flint surface beneath survives (through flake removal, on both faces) it is now a creamy-white in colour.The core measures 97.09x69.25x42.12mm and weighs 236g.Although diagnostically undatable within the Prehistoric period, its findspot proximity to known Palaeolithic activity suggests it may well be of Palaeolithic date (c.500,000 - 10,000 BC).
