Description: | Flint triangular arrowhead of probable Late Neolithic/Early Bronze date (3300 - 1000 BC). The flint is a dark brown coloured tertiary flake and is predominantly opaque. It is triangular shaped and has a flat profile with invasive, scaled, low angle retouch to all sides of the dorsal face. There are some small patches of similar retouch to the ventral face. There is a possible notch to the right hand side towards the distal end which appears to have been formed by abrupt retouch - this may indicate re-use of the flint as a scaper. It is 35.6mm long x 36.8mm wide x 3.6mm thick. Weight 4.5g.
