Mid to late Mesolithic microlith drill or borer. The white stone is hard to identify and is probably a white flint or quartz. The tool is triangular in section. Heavily abraded but the very fine retouches at the proximal end are still visible. Probably a fine drill or borer originally mounted on the end of a stick or piece of antler.

Mid to late Mesolithic black chert fine drill or borer. The chert is a high quality with many dark gray rod like fossil inclusions. The tool is sub triangular in section. There are removals to the entire surface, except the proximal end wich retains cortex. The drill or borer was probably originally mounted in the end of a piece of wood or antler. The working end is quite worn. It shows evidence of at least one small break. The fracture has been retouched to allow the tools continued use. Dating to between c7000 and c4001 BC. The length is 13mm, width 5mm, and the thickness 4.5mm.

Notched and curved black chert tool, possibly used for fletching. Probably Mesolithic, but certainly dating between c8300 & c1500 BC. Measures 24 x 13 x 5mm. A number of other chert lithic items, & a few flint ones, were also found in the vicinity. John Hallam directed a dig in the area some time ago. There is an account of the excavation in David Barrowclough's book "Prehistoric Lancashire".

Mesolithic black chert tool. Probably used as a fine chisel and for widening holes. Full use has been made of the areas that are high quality material. There are a few removals to the distal that produce a curved chiseled end. These have received a significant amount of wear. It is probable that use has been made of the way the stone has fractured to enable to act has a hole widener. This impression is re-inforced by a long fine removal down one edge that seems to have been made in order to improve its cutting abilities while being twisted. Dates to between c8300 and c4500 BC.
