A small Neolithic thumb scraper. The scraper has a shallow plano-convex section, with one flat side and one convex. The flint is roughly circular in overall shape. It has been formed from a light brownish-grey flint. The bulb of percussion and striking platform have both been removed, but the ripples of percussion are still evident. There are many shallow arrises. The upper half of the dorsal surface has been heavily retouched, forming a scraper end. The retouch is steep and elaborate.

An incomplete flint knife of the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age, c. 2500-1500 BC. The flint consists of the end of a plano-convex knife bifacially knapped from a grey-brown flint.The blade has snapped off, with the break clearly visible in the pointed-oval section, and leaving only the 'butt' of the knife. It has a round end and is broadest at the base, tapering toward the now missing point. All edges have been pressure-flaked. The knife is well made.
