A fragment, possibly from a flint knife, dating to the period 4000 BC to 1000 BC.
The object is D-shaped in plan with the straight edge showing evidence of a break with semi-abrupt retouch around the break creating a serrated effect. There is invasive low angle scaled retouch on the dorsal face with two flakes missing from the ventral face. The flint is a cream colour with some reddish-brown patches.
