A Neolithic flint axe, of Manby's Flaked rough-out type, with a thin tapering butt. The object has an elongated ovoid shape; it is less bulbous on one face while the other face has a large raised lump with signs of flaking. In section it is D shaped with the bar being convex too, but less so than the loop. The butt is narrower than the rest of the axe, tapers and then has a squared off end. The sides are convex. The axe is an opaque pale orange and grey colour and cortex is visible on the butt. There are neat removals at the working edge.
