Blue grey flint with cortex denticulate. Oval flake with long cortex removal scars on its dorsal side and a prominent bulb of percussion on the ventral. The exposed surfaces have accumulated a mottled white patina, which is disrupted by short abrupt retouch along one long edge. Suggested date: Late Bronze Age, 1000-800, though probably re-using a flake of Neolithic (4000-2350) date.
