A possible burin formed on a crude blade of white flint. Unknown date, Mesolithic to Bronze Age (10,000 - 1000 BC). It is unclear where the flint was struck from. The faces are uneven, and most have a stepped termination scar. One end of the blade is much narrower and thinner. One side of this projection has short, abrupt, sub-parallel retouch, possibly to form a burin. There appears to be a removal across the end of the spur from the retouched edge. The tool is 38.1mm long, 16.3mm wide, 8.2mm thick. 3.3g. Burins are typically mesolithic, but the reuse of a crude blade i…

Five flint chunks; debitage, of uncertain date, Mesolithic to Bronze Age (10,000 - 1000 BC). There is one primary, and three secondary of white flint with white cortex. The last is tan coloured flint with inclusions, and appears to be naturally frost fractured. Since flint is not found locally naturally, it is probably a fractured piece of debitage.

A debitage flint blade fragment of Mesolithic date, 9000 BC - 4000 BC. The proximal end is a snapped break. The distal end is an oblique snapped break. There is a double dorsal ridge and the tertiary blade is formed on dark brown flint. Sporadic removals from the right edge are probably too erratic to be retouch and are more likely to be edge damage. The blade fragment is 18.3mm long, 15.5mm wide and 3.2mm thick. 1.2g.
