An unpatinated flint short flake, possible a core rejuvenation flake, of later Prehistoric date. It is struck form a pale brown flint with prominent bulb and striking platform, and irregular flake removal on the dorsal face. The distal end has a flattened transverse platform that demonstrates posible traces of core preparation, perhaps suggesting that this flake has been removed from a core to enable its rejuvenation. The entire object measures 50.41mm in length, 25.08mm in width, 8.71mm in thickness, and 10.19g in weight. This flake is of later Prehistoric date, probably Neolithic to Bronze Age, c.4000-800 BC.
