Description: | Small hammerstone made from a roughly spherical flint core used for the production of narrow flakes and worked from multiple directions A small area of the original cortex survives, the surface is lightly recorticated the flint appears to have been opaque grey. Substantial areas of the nodule show the results of battering, the surface being covered with rough, hackly fractures. These objects are difficult to date but an early Neolithic date could be suggested for the core. Diameter 56 x 48mm, Height 48mm, Mass 182.3g
