Description: | Flint core of probable late Mesolithic date (8000 - 4000 BC). The core has been formed from a mottled white/light grey coloured piece of flint, is cylindrical in shape, and has a small area of cortex remaining on one face. There are possibly bi-polar striking platforms at opposite ends of the core, one being much more obvious than the other due to it's flat surface with evidence of platform dressing. Narrow blades have been removed from the worked side of the core by parallel striking. It is 37.8mm long x 22.3mm wide x 18.7mm thick. Weight 14.8g.
