A complete flint worked flake of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and plano in section. The dorsal surface contains multiple negative scars. The distal edge contains semi abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is smooth and flat. The lithic retains a small amount of cortex on the proximal edge and is therefore a secondary flake.
The flint is a light translucent cream in colour. The cortex is cream in colour.
