There is a projecting spur along the proximal right hand edge and a notched aspect in the distal left hand edge. The ventral surface is smooth and concave. The lithic retains a minor amount of cortex on the dorsal surface at the distal end, the flake is therefore a secondary flake.The flint is light grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout. The cortex is a mid-cream in colour.Length: 23.93mm, Width: 13.10mm, Thickness: 7.11mm, Weight: 2.0g.
