A flint retouched flake of unknown date, Mesolithic to Iron Age, 9000 BC - 1 BC. It is formed on a secondary flake of golden flint, with cortex on the left side of the dorsal face. There is a double arris on the dorsal face. The distal end is pointed, and the proximal end is wide. The distal left side has short, abrupt scaled retouch. There is also very fine retouch or edge damage on the proximal end of the right side. The flake is almost long enough to be a blade and the size of the tool is close to the acceptable range for microliths. It is 33.5mm long, 16.5mm wide and 5.5mm thi…

A flint retouched flake, probably of Mesolithic to Bronze Age date, 10,000 BC - 1000 BC. It is a tertiary flake of patinated yellow grey flint with some damage to the edges. The flake is roughly rounded. It has very short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch on the sides and distal end except where the edge is missing. The retouch does not form a thick enough edge to be a scraper, and is perhaps best described as a utilised flake. The flake is 21.2mm long, 22.4mm wide and 7.1mm thick. 2.3g.

The dorsal face is covered with previous removal scars. There are a few low angle, scaled, short removals on the ventral face at the distal end, and some possible abrupt short, sub-parallel retouch on the proximal end, which could be edge damage.

An incomplete flint retouched flake, possibly a microburin, or the base of a retouched tool form which has snapped at an oblique angle across the distal end. It could date from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age, 10000 BC - 1000 BC. It is a tertiary flake with semi-abrupt, short, sub-parallel retouch round the proximal end and along the right side. The break across the distal end reveals a small inclusion in the centre which probably caused the weakness. It is 15mm long, 19mm wide and 4mm thick. 0.8g.

A flint retouched flake, probably a debitage flake, with some damage and many previous removals, of unknown date, from the Mesolithic to Bronze Age, 10000 BC - 1000 BC. It is a tertiary flake with a large inclusion on the ventral right side, and a patinated right face. There is retouch on the distal end, from both faces, which is invasive, semi-abrupt and scaled, but this may be platform preperation as the flint does not seem to be a tool form. It is 30.7mm long, 16mm wide and 8.7mm thick. 3.5g.

A retouched flint flake, with some damage, dating from the Neolithic to Bronze Age, 4000 BC - 1000 BC. It is a tertiary flake of patinated white flint. There is some damage at the distal end of the left side, leaving concave areas in the edge, but they appear to be accidental. The proximal end of the left side has possible retouch, with fine, short, abrupt, parallel removals. It is 41.9mm long, 26.4mm wide and 10.6mm thick. 4.6g.

An incomplete flint retouched flake probably dating from the Neolithic to Iron Age, 4000 BC - 1 BC. It is formed on a tertiary flake of mid grey flint. The right edge appears to be a break, with part of the flake missing. There a single dorsal arris and a clear striking platform. The left edge has some edge damage but it does not appear to be intentional working. There are some intentional removals on the ventral face of the distal end, where there is semi-abrupt, fairly short, sub-parallel retouch. The flake is 20.5mm long, 12mm wide and 4.8mm thick. 1g.

A retouched flint blade of uncertain date, Mesolithic to Neolithic, 10000 BC - 2400 BC. It is a tertiary blade, but with a tiny lens of cortex on the left side at the distal end. It has a single dorsal arris, making it triangular in cross-section, and in plan it tapers from the distal end. There is a small area of retouch forming a semi-circular notch at the proximal end of the left side. The retouch is short, semi-abrupt and sub-parallel.
