A broken fragment of a flint core of undetermined prehistoric date (Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age, c. 10,000-1600 BC). The flint is a dark grey colour with brown mottling throughout. A small section of cortex remains. A small number of removals are evident; the fragment appears to have broken laterally. The fragment is amorphous and has modern damage.
