Worked flint scatter, 16 flints. Three types of flint; A -dark grey-brown with grey-white pitted cortex (six flints); B - light brown/fawn with pitted white cortex (nine); C - burnt (one). All are fresh and un-patinated. See photograph - left to right, top to bottom. ROW 1 (1) flake fragment, proximal end only, three scars on the bulb, 3 flake scars on the dorsal surface, some damage to the dorsal proximal end, 40% cortex, hard hammer?, flint type A. (2) irregularly shaped (triangular) flake, complete, small bulb, hinge fracture at the distal end, three flake scars on the dorsal surface, 0% cortex, soft hammer, flint type A. ROW 2 (3) irregularly shaped (pyramidal) flake, no bulb, possibly unworked 100% cortex, flint type A. (4) tiny flake, imcomplete (distal end missing), one flake scar on the dorsal surface, 90% cortex, soft hammer, flint type A. (5) oval flake, imcomplete 80% cortex, bulb end broken off, hinge fracture on the ventral left side, damage or possible flake scar on the dorsal surface, flint type A. ROW 3 (6) incomplete long thin primary flake, bulb end missing, 100% cortex, soft hammer, flint type B. (7) incomplete long thin primary flake, both ends missing, 100% cortex, probably soft hammer, flint type B. (8) incomplete long thin flake, both ends missing, 50% cortex, one flake scar on the dorsal surface, probably soft hammer, flint type B. ROW 4 (9) incomplete flake, proximal end only, one scar on the small bulb, two flake scars on the dorsal surface, 15% cortex, soft hammer, flint type B. (10) incomplete flake, proximal end only, one flake scar and some damage on the dorsal surface, soft hammer, 0% cortex, flint type B. (11) incomplete flake, distal end only, hinge fracture at distal end, some damage (or possibly retouch?) to dorsal surface, 0% cortex, flint type B. (12) incomplete flake, proximal end only, one flake scar and some damage (or possibly retouch?) on dorsal surface, soft hammer, 40% cortex, flint type A. (13) incomplete flake, both ends missing, two flake scars on dorsal surface, 0% cortex, flint type B. ROW 5 (14) narrow flake or micro-blade, soft hammer bulb, a flake scar along either edge of the dorsal surface, pointed tip missing, flint type B. (15) late Mesolithic narrow microlith, blunted straight down one edge, flint type B, length 17.69mm, width 3.88mm. (16) burnt flint flake, incomplete, both ends missing, triangular section. Two other flints found close by (see photographs) - a narrow triangular sectioned grey chert flake, with the bulb missing and three flake scars on the dorsal surface, 0% cortex; and a possibly unworked flint, triangular sectioned, 100% cortex, the cortex has a number of relatively large pits.
