A semi-circular Neolithic end and side scraper made from a large flake of grey flint. The ventral side is slightly concave and shows pronounced conchoidal ripples with some scaled retouch. It has two small patches of lighter colour. The dorsal side retains an area of cortex at the distal end. Several large flakes have been removed to flatten the dorsal side below this cortex. One edge is relatively straight, while the opposite edge is convex. Both edges and the proximal end show significant abrupt, short retouch to create a scraper. 4000-2351 BC. The length is 40mm, the width is 26mm, thickness 8mm
