An incomplete flint scraper of Neolithic to Bronze Age date (3350-1200 BC). The object is sub-triangular in plan and flat in section. Both the right and proximal edges have been abruptly blunted. The left hand edge have fine semi-abrupt retouch. The distal end tapers to a point.
The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
The flint is grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout.
