A large and thick flint end scraper of probable early Bronze Age date. The scraper has been made from a secondary waste flake. At the proximal end is the striking platform. Below this on the ventral surface is a bulb of percussion and a bulbar scar. There are a number of flaking scars on the dorsal surface and the distal end has been retouched.
