Flint implement made from a tertiary blade, now broken. Made from a mid-grey, translucent flint. Retouch (short, scaled, semi-abrupt) down one side and around curved end. Other end truncated. While the retouch is appropriate for a scraper the form of the implement suggests that it may have been a knife or the base of a flint point. A Early Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date is possible. Length 23.3mm, Width 16.5mm, Thickness 4.1mm, Mass 1.71g
