Grey flint dagger fragment. Ogival pointed end from a bifacially worked dagger of lentoid section. Both sides have angled covering scalar retouch, the finished effect being fairly smooth on one side but distinctly uneven on the other. An angled break is probably recent, and reveals a thick patina which suggests the object had endured prolonged exposure. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.
