A complete flint piece of debitage of probable Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and plano-convex in section. Both surfaces contain multiple negative scars and corresponding arrises. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The surface of the flake is cracked possibly due to burning.
The flint is white in colour with grey inclusions throughout.
