Pale grey flint probable serrated implement. A small thin curving flake with long narrow parallel bladelets struck from its dorsal side and with a slightly concave ventral surface. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect produces serrations along the convex long edge so fine that they are more readily felt than observed. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.
