An incomplete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating to the early Bronze Age (c. 2150-1500 BC). The arrowhead has been formed on a piece of light pink / buff flint (heavily calcified) suggesting a chalk downland source. The arrowhead is roughly triangular in form although the point is missing and there is damage to one side. The tangs are very short (undeveloped) and uneven. The arrowhead has extensive bifacial flake removals on all surfaces.
