Dark grey piece of flint, dorsal face exhibits a single medial ridge running from the proximal to distal edges. The proximal end just below the medial is wider than the distal side of the medial. The proximal edge terminates as a blunt point, with some possible retouch on the right side margin adjoining the point. The right margin is irregular, but reduces in width as it approaches the distal edge. The left margin medial area is concave, but it moves out again to meet the distal edge. The distal edge is angled, but there appears to be no indication of retouch. The ventral face is concave in profile, the bulb of percussion is still evident with some conchoidal rippling on the face. The left margin does not appear to show any obvious retouch, the right margin medial and above does suggest retouch. Appears to be a waste flake that has been subjected to retouch.
