This is a piece of flint debitage that has some of the characteristics of having been struck by man, perhaps Neolithic in origin. That it has been struck by man is supported by a probable bulb of percussion to one side with dorsal scarring where previous material has been struck off the core. Additionally, there is the characteristic rippling, indicative of its removal from a core, by force. The material is of a dark brown colour.
