There is rough semi-abrupt retouch along the left hand edge. The ventral surface has shallow ripples of percussion emanating from the proximal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is grey in colour with dark grey inclusions throughout.Length: 15.17mm, Width: 10.19mm, Thickness: 1.79mm, Weight: 0.3g.
