Bag containing sixteen flints: One piece of fire cracked flint, 15g. Possibly prehistoric. One small, worked out multi-platform core with a patch of worn, thin cortex extant, the flint now patinated grey/purple. All flake removals are hard hammer struck. 50 x 41 x 38 mm. Neolithic to Bronze Age. Scraper worked from a primary flake from a water worn cobble of flint, the cortex is entirely removed and is in rolled condition. Approximately half of the edges have been steeply retouched to form the scraping edge. 34 x 33.5 x 13 mm. Neolithic to Bronze Age. Scraper worked from a thermal (frost) fracture or "potlid", thick, light brown patinated cortex to the dorsal face with approximately half of the edges steeply retouched forming the scraping edge. 44 x 44 x 12 mm. Late Neolithic to Bronze Age. Side and end scraper from a hard hammer struck secondary flake of brown/orange flint, with steep retouch to the distal end and irregular wear to one edge, the other edge has thick, pale cortex remaining. 65 x 44 x 15 mm. Early Neolithic. Eleven flakes and simple flake tools, one primary, eight secondary and two tertiary, four are notched and a few of the others are irregularly retouched/recently damaged. All are hard hammer struck and lack patination. Largest: 63 x 49 x 15 mm. Smallest: 22 x 23 x 7 mm. Late Prehistoric, Neolithic to Bronze Age.
