A Late Neolithic - Early Bronze Age notched flint flake. The flint has a well formed creamy white patina with a large amount of cortex on the dorsal surface. The flake seems to have formed a notched shape through the primary flaking process. It has only been necessary to lightly re-work this to form a notched tool. The flake measures 54.34mm long, 47.42mm wide, 20.31mm thick and weighs 37.14g.

A possible Mesolithic-Early Bronze Age fabricator tool. The object is long and narrow, although relatively thick, with steep re-worked edges. The distal end has been finely worked into a curve, possibly to enable the careful application of pressure to the edges of flint flakes. The flint has a very well developed greyish white patina except at the proximal end where damage has revealed the dark-blue colour of the flint beneath. The tool measures 79.55mm long, 23.11mm wide at the distal end, tapering to 13.07mm wide at the proximal end, 12.55mm thick and weighs 32.64g.

A late Neolithic flint blade dating from c. 2500-2100 BC. The flint has become re-patinated to a blueish-white colour, although extensive damage around all edges has revealed the original light brown colour of the flint. The dorsal surface has a central discontinuous ridge; the ventral surface is curved and displays a bulb of percussion. The blade is approximately parallel sided and measures 61.47mm long, 21.47mm wide, 8.05mm thick and weighs 12.74g.
