A flint retouched flake of probably late Neolithic to early Bronze Age date, about 3300 BC - 1000 BC. It is formed on patinated grey and tan flint, a secondary flake with cortex at the distal end of the dorsal face. It is triangular in plan (pointed at the left side) and in cross-section. There are multiple removal scars on the dorsal face, and a small area of retouch on the point of the left side. The retouch is short, abrupt and sub-parallel. The right edge appears to be a natural or accidental break. The flake is 63.8mm long, 33.1mm wide and 18.3mm thick. 31.71g.
