The dorsal surface contains four predominant negative scars with corresponding arises. The distal and left edges contain semi abrupt retouch. The right and proximal edges have been abruptly blunted. The ventral surface is predominantly smooth with a substantial negative scar at the left of the proximal edge and some shallow ripples of percussion both within this scar and emanating from the right of the proximal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is a dark grey brown in colour.Dimensions: Length - 24.81mm, Width- 22.48mm, Thickness- 7.68mm, Weight- 5.0g
