Mesolithic worked-out two-platfrom flake core knapped from dark grey flint. The core has two opposing platforms; The primary platfrom has a significant amount of scaring around it. Once this platform became exhausted, the core was turned 180 degrees to form a secondary platform. This secondary platform has several points of percussion on its edge, where the platfrom was prepared. Flakes have been removed from all surfaces of this core, mainly with feathered or stepped terminations, however one side is curved with an overshot termination.

Possibly a very crude core of Mesolithic date, knapped from dark grey flint. There is evidence of removals from 90% of the surface, with the remaining area being covered in a natural, cream coloured cortex. There are flaking scars and impact ripples covering the surface of the flint. However, there does not appear to be any evidence of platform preporation thus this could possibly be a natural nodule of flint. It is 73.35mm long, 50.40mm wide, 29.18mm thick and weighs 132 grams.
