status: Awaiting validation 
A complete flint piece of Debitage of Neolithic to Bronze Age date (3450-800 BC). The object is sub-triangular in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface has three predominant negative scars and corresponding arrises. The proximal end has been abruptly blunted while the distal end tapers in slightly. All other edges have low angle retouch. The ventral surface is predominantly flat with one predominant negative scar along the proximal and left hand edge. There is a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
The flint is dark grey in colour with cream and orange/brown recortification over the majority of the surface.
