Two Bronze Age scrapers made from re-worked patinated flakes. 1) A blueish-grey flint flake had developed a blueish-white patina before being re-worked with steep invasive re-touch around two edges during the Bronze Age to form a side and end scraper. D-shaped and measuring 41.13mm long, 44.00mm wide, 13.20mm thick and weighing 26.95g. 2) A Bronze Age end scraper fabricated from a flake that has been struck from a core which had already developed a greyish-white patina. D-shaped, measuring 33.84mm long, 36.05mm wide, 13.19mm thick and weighing 16.26g.

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.
