It is sub-triangular in plan and sub-D-shaped in section. The bulb of percussion and striking platform remain on the ventral surface from which ripples of percussion radiate, probably produced by soft hammer technique. The dorsal surface has three flake removals and irregular edges though no evident retouch.The flint is a light brown colour. The implement is 42.2mm long, 23.6mm wide, 9.5mm thick and weighs 6.6g.
