A leaf shaped arrowhead made from a secondary flake of heavily patinated mottled flint. It is sub-oval with a small amount of cortex at the one end. The original colour of the flint is probably mid to dark grey, but this in now covered in a smooth off-white layer of recortification giving the flint an opaque, low-gloss patina. One face shows fairly crude invasive, sub-parallel, low angle retouch, the other face shows invasive, scalar, low angle retouch to the upper half
