It is formed on a the proximal end of a secondary blade of mottled light grey flint, with cortex at the proximal end. The flint has a partial speckled patina. It is sub-rectangular, truncated at the distal end and triangular in section. The right side has short, abrupt, sub-parallel retouch forming a serrated edge. There are about 5 teeth per centimeter, but they are irregular, casting doubt on the identification. The flint is 25.2mm long, 20mm wide and 3.5mm thick. 1.79g.
