The distal end tapers to a slight point and the proximal end has been abruptly blunted. The ventral surface is slightly concave and has shallow ripples of percussion emanating from a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end. The flake retains a minor amount of cortex and is therefore a secondary flake.The flint is grey in colour with dark grey and cream inclusions throughout.
