A complete leaf shaped flint arrowhead of probable earlier Neolithic date (4000 - 2700 BC). The arrowhead is ogival / lentoid (a diamond shaped lozenge) in plan and lentoid in cross section. The arrowhead has been knapped from a light-cream to brown flint which is opaque in places. Both faces of the flint show invasive, scaled, low angled retouch. The dorsal face has scaled diagonal flaking across the entire surface. The ventral face also has scaled flaking which has a greater concentration around the proximal end. The lower edge on one side was possible broken in antiquity and then re-touched due to this one side missing part of its rounded end and having small neat abrupt retouch along its edge. Similar examples have been discovered at Bayston Hill, Shropshire (HESH-ED8357) and The Wyre Forest, Worcestershire (WAW-777BF3). Butler (2005) suggests that leaf shaped arrowheads are commonly associated with early Neolithic pottery and early and middle Neolithic monuments such as causewayed enclosures and long barrows.
The arrowhead measures 32.3mm length, 19.6mm width, is 2.6mm thick and weighs 1.8 grams.

A complete leaf-shaped arrowhead of probable Neolithic date (2900 - 2150 BC). The arrowhead is formed on a mid-grey coloured tertiary flint flake; both the dorsal and ventral faces are extensively retouched. The arrowhead is lentoid or pointed oval (an irregular pentagon) in plan and lentoid in cross section. The butt of the arrowhead has been trimmed and extensively reworked removing any trace of striking platform or bulb of percussion In profile the arrowhead is also lentoid. The shape of the arrowhead does not conform with known sub-types - it most closely resembles kite shaped examples. The dorsal and ventral faces have both had significant pressure (ripple) flaking with a series of small neat narrow facets. This flaking is best described as covering, scaled low angled retouch. There is only slight / minor damage to the arrowhead from movement in the ploughsoil, and a small notches along one long edge.
The arrowhead measures 27.6mm in length, 16.3mm maximum width, is 3.3mm thick and weighs 1.37 grams.
