A complete flint Scraper of Neolithic date (3450-1500 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface is convex and is covered by retained cortex. The left hand edge has short parallel flaking. All edges except the blunted proximal edge have fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is concave and has ripples of percussion emanating from the proximal end. The lithic retains a large amount of cortex and is therefore a primary flake.
The flint is dark grey in colour, the cortex is light brown.
