A tertiary worked flint probably dating from the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age, circa 2700-1600BC. Identified by Peter Reavil as a possible core fragment. Some surfaces of the core are heavily patinated with areas of oblique light grey flint. Other sides of the core are shiny, translucent and mid grey in colour. Evidence of blade removals are present on both sides of the core with conchoidal ripples clearly visible.
