A complete flint piece of Debitage of Mesolithic to Bronze Age date (9000-1200 BC). The lithic is a pointed oval in plan and plano-convex in plan. The dorsal surface in steeply convex with multiple deep negative scars. The proximal edge is rounded while the distal end tapers to a point. All edges have rough abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is predominantly flat and smooth.
The flint is light grey in colour with cream, dark grey and orange inclusions throughout. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
