A complete flint Notched Scraper of Neolithic date (3450-1500 BC). The lithic is sub-ovate in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface is slightly covex and has one negative scar and retains the majority of its cortex across the right hand edge. The proximal and distal edges have been blunted, and the right hand edge projects out, to form a notched aspect below the distal end. All edges have fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is concave and retains a small blub of percussion situated at the proximal end. The blub has a single shallow negative scar situated in the centre of the bulb.
The flint is light grey and brown in colour with cream inclusions throughout. The cortex is light brown.
The lithic retains a large amount of cortex and is therefore a secondary flake.
