Description: | Flaked flint pick or adze, section plano-convex, tapering to point at one end and slightly waisted near its mid-point. It was flaked from a poor quality, opaque, mixed grey flint with areas of cortex on both faces and some recortication. The flaking is coarse and supplimented by battering on the two edges. The tip has been shaped by the removal of long, semi-abrupt flakes. This find resemebles a 'Hassocks adze' in both form and technology and a Mesolithic date seems likely. Length 148mm, Width 51mm, Thickness 42mm, Mass 417.5g.
