Description: | Hammerstone made from a flint nodule, no cortex present but one face and one side appears to be natural and unflaked, all surfaces are recorticated, covering what appears to be a poor quality flint. The implement.has a roughly rectangular section and the flaking, where present, is coarse. The aparent 'tranchet' flake on the narrow end is natural. On the other, wider, end, is small battered area showing the object to have been used as a hammerstone. It is not, on the basis of its shape, possible to suggest any previous function. A Mesolithic date seems likely. Length 130mm, Width 56mm, Thickness 44mm, Mass 381.7g
