Description: | An assemblage of 11 struck flint implements. They have a combined total weight of 68.37g and are of probable Mesolithic to Neolithic date. 1) A patinated blue/grey and snapped blade, missing the proximal end due to old breaks. It is trapezoidal in cross section with a hinge fracture and some cortex remaining at the distal end. This blade measures 52.26mm in length, 17.31mm in width, 3.96mm in thickness, and 5.31g in weight.2) A heavily patinated (white) and snapped blade, missing the proximal end due to old breaks. It has parallel blade scars on the dorsal face. This blade measures 54.25mm in length, 19.46mm in width, 3.44mm in thickness, and 3.61g in weight.3) A heavily patinated (white) and snapped blade, missing the proximal end due to old breaks. It has parallel blade scars on the dorsal face. This blade measures 44.51mm in length, 13.32mm in width, 4.84mm in thickness, and 2.79g in weight.4) A patinated blue/grey blade with small striking platform and low bulb of percussion. It has parallel blade scars on the dorsal face. This blade measures 38.21mm in length, 19.35mm in width, 5.04mm in thickness, and 3.06g in weight.5) A patinated blue/grey flake or blade with small striking platform and bulb of percussion, snapped at the distal end, which retains cortex on the dorsal face. It measures 55.58mm in length, 21.38mm in width, 5.87mm in thickness, and 5.64g in weight.6) A patinated white flint flake or blade, snapped at the proximal end. It has parallel flake scars on the dorsal face and damage or possible retouch to the edges. It measures 41.88mm in length, 17.31mm in width, 6.10mm in thickness, and 4.01g in weight.7) A partially patinated short flake with small striking platform and bulb of percussion. At the centre of the distal end is a small notch with semi-abrupt and scaled retouch. It measures 30.51mm in length, 27.62mm in width, 4.74mm in thickness, and 3.02g in weight. 8) A heavily patinated white short flake with parallel flake scars on the dorsal face. It measures 29.58mm in length, 18.96mm in width, 5.31mm in thickness, and 2.81g in weight. 9) A patinated long flake with prominent striking platform and bulb of percussion. The flake has parallel flake scars on the dorsal face. It measures 59.10mm in length, 32.19mm in width, 8.98mm in thickness, and 14.80g in weight. It is of possible later Prehistoric date. 10) A patinated grey/white short flake with small striking platform and bulb of percussion. This flake has parallel flake scars on the dorsal face and tapers to a point at the distal end, perhaps with limited crude retouch on the ventral face, although this may be the result of post-depositional damage. It measures 48.44mm in length, 32.91mm in width, 8.94mm in thickness, and 11.35g in weight.11) A partially patinated blue/grey long flake with small striking platform and bulb of percussion, a small rea of cortex remaining at the distal end. It measures 56.51mm in length, 30.57mm in width, 9.88mm in thickness, and 11.97g in weight.
