A flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating from the Late Neolithic to Middle Bronze Age (c. 2500 BC - c.1150 BC). The arrowhead is bifacially worked and sub-triangular in plan. There are two rounded notches in the base, flanking the central tang with a barb at either side. The tang is complete and extends beyond the limit of the barbs, of which only one is complete. The complete barb has a pointed terminal whereas the broken one appears like an oblique facet. The flint is covered with a chalky-white patina.<\/p>\n
