A flint bladelet core, 27.9mm in length and made from a dark grey flint. One side retains a light brown cortex. There is a single striking platform; the pronounced negative bulbs of percussion and concave removal scars suggest a hard hammer percussion has been used to remove the flakes. Whilst the form is typically Mesolithic, a later date is also possible.
