A Prehistoric flint lithic implement, possibly a utilised core (3500 – 1500BC). There is approximately 10% cortex remaining. If this is a core, it is multi-platform with flake removal occurring from different sides and angles. The flint has been reduced down to form a wedge-shape and there is possibly some retouch or damage along the fine edge. There is also modern damage.
