Mottled grey and brown in colour, was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Appears to be a flint scraper, appears oval in plan and plano convex in profile and section. The scraper has been unifacially retouched at the distal end of the dorsal face, the proximal end has been broken off above the bulb of percussion on the ventral face. Dorsal face does have some remains of cortex on the left side of the dorsal. Similar in appearance to an end scraper.
