Description: | Massive flint core, cylindrical and used for the production of of long, narrow, blades. Two striking platforms at 90 degrees to each other both apparently working from original faces of the nodule. One side of the core bears an area of original cortex suggesting that a flint cobble had been used. The core, while recorticated, has the blotchy appearance suggestive of the mixed colour flint typical of this site. The form of this core and the nature of its products suggest that it is Early Neolithic date. Length 54mm, Width 80mm, Thickness 71mm, Mass 363.0g
