A secondary flake of light grey coloured debitage or segment implement of probable Mesolithic to Neolithic date (c. 10,000 - 2351 BC). The flake is rectangular and trapezoidal in section, but is perhaps too thick to be a blade. The distal end tapers at one corner and is broken.
It measures 27.76mm in length, 11.72mm in width, 5.32mm thick and weighs 1.98grams.
Butler (2005) illustrates a similar implement on Figure 46, No. 7.
