A complete flint piece of Debitage of Mesolithic to Bronze Age date (9000-1200 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and plano-convex in plan. The dorsal has a single deep negative scar and invasive scaled flaking. The proximal and distal edges are blunted. The left hand edge has semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly convex with invasive scaled flaking.
The flint is grey in colour with dark grey inclusions throughout. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake
