A double ended flint end scraper. It is sub-oval with thick nodular cortex remaining across 70% of the dorsal face. The flint is semi-translucent mid-grey and has a mid-gloss patina. The retouch to the dorsal face is short, scaled and abrupt at the distal end where the cortex has been removed. The retouch to the proximal end and lower left and right margins is scaled and semi-abrupt. The ventral face is flat and shows no apparent bulb of percussion, however there are visible ripples indication the direction of percussion.
