A struck flint flake of uncertain later Prehistoric date. It is struck from a mottled grey/brown flint with light patination in places and cortex remaining at the distal end. The flake is triangular in cross-section and form, with a small bulb of percussion at the proximal end and parallel flake or blade scars on the dorsal face. At the distal end there is limited short, abrupt, and scaled retouch, perhaps suggesting usage as an end scraper or similar tool. It measures 80.81mm in length, 41.62mm in width, 18.18mm in thickness, and 44.63g in weight. This is a struck flake or blade, …

A flint object, possibly a core or simply debitage from flint production rather than a tool. It is roughly pentagonal in cross-section and struck from a mottled grey flint, with cortex remaining on one face. Two of the other faces have a darker brown patination or staining. A series of small parallel flake or blade scars are visible on the remaining areas, exposing the natural flint beneath the patina. These are perhaps evidence of deliberate blade/flake production with the object serving as a core, although this is uncertain. It measures 26.40mm in length/height, 21.02mm in width, 16…

A flint blade core of possible Mesolithic to Neolithic date. It is struck from a dark grey to black flint, is conical in form, with one flattened platform and cortex remaining on one edge. The remaining edges have multiple narrow parallel blade scars. This core measures 41.94mm in length, 33.10mm in width, 25.73mm in thickness, and 39.77g in weight. This is a core probably from the manufacture of blades or long flakes, suggesting that it is likely to date to the later Mesolithic to Neolithic periods, perhaps c.7000-2550 BC.
