A complete partially crested knife of later Neolithic date (c. 3000-2500 BC). The knife is made on a secondary flake of a pale yellow and grey flint. The knife is triangular in section with an uneven dorsal crest and flat ventral side. Multi-directional hard hammer retouching is present around nearly all of the dorsal surface. A tiny section of the platform has been retained but the bulb has been removed by one or possibly two hard blows to the ventral proximal end.
