Triangular shaped flake of teriary debitage. The edges of the flake are slightly faceted - possibly suggesting that this is a rejuvination flake from a flint core. The edges though are uneven and therefore are not the classical faceted shape expected for such flakes. The flint is a mid grey brown colour. It measures 16.6mm long, 12.6mm wide, 3.3mm thick and weighs 0.7grams.
