An oval secondary struck flake of banded dark grey flint. The flake is curved and the distal end tapers to broken tip; the proximal end is rounded with a small striking platform. The proximal half of the dorsal surface has extensive sub parallel removal scars, with hinge fracturing. There does not appear to be any retouch which suggests that this is a waste flake, perhaps a thinning flake from Neolithic axehead production.

A small flint core tool of Mesolithic date, oval in shape, 87.9mm in length and struck from a banded orange-brown flint. The distal end has been worked into a rounded cutting edge, possibly with a larger tranchet removal which has been obscured by subsequent removals, perhaps for sharpening. The tool is poorly finished, with a large oblique facet on the butt end and a concave area of damage on the rear end of the dorsal surface. The ventral surface is flat and unworked.

The distal end has short, semi-abrupt, scaled retouch to form a scraping edge. The flake is 25mm long, 16.8mm wide and 1.3mm thick. 3.1g.

A flint flake, probably a burin, of probable Mesolithic date, 10000 BC - 4000 BC. It is formed on a secondary flake of opaque light grey flint with cortex surviving on the left edge of the distal end. It is sub-oval in plan, with several removal scars on the dorsal face making it oval in cross-section. There is a burin spall removal from the distal end along the ventral face at the right hand side. This, and additional flaking on the distal end, create a chisel like point at the distal end which could be used for cutting grooves. It is 29mm long, 20.3mm wide and 9.5…

A flint retouched blade, of unknown date, Mesolithic to Bronze Age, 10000 BC - 1000 BC. It is formed on a secondary blade of light grey flint with cortex surviving in the middle of the dorsal face. It is sub-rectangular with a double dorsal ridge. The proximal end is missing and the distal end is a hinged termination. There is a small area of short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch at the distal right corner suggesting the blade has been utilised as a tool through it is not a formal tool type. It is 25mm long, 17.8mm wide and 5.2mm thick. 2.4g.

An incomplete sub rounded flint thumbnail scraper of Bronze Age date (c. 2400 BC - 1500 BC) struck from a tertiary flake of brown flint, 27.6mm in length. The exterior edge has short abrupt and semi abrupt scaled retouch. One side of the tool appears to have been lost due to post depositional damage which has created a notched break.
