A possible Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age flint knife dating to c 3300-1000 BC. It tapers towards a blunt terminus at the proximal end. The bulb of percussion and ripples are evident on the ventral surface. A flake scar ridge appears on the dorsal surface and there is evidence of retouch on all edges. The item has broken away from a larger flake at an early date. It was reported by the finder as found one to two feet below the surface of a garden so may have been in original context. Dimensions: 47.48mm in length; 30.25mm in width; 9.2g in weight

A Neolithic polished flint axehead dating c. 4000 - 2400 BC. The axehead is sub-rectangular in plan with sides tapering from the cutting edge to a sub-trapezoidal butt. When viewed in profile, one edge of the axehead has a bowed line. The axehead has a pointed-oval cross section. The axehead has been polished, with one side of the cutting edge being more worn than the other and with one face exhibiting distinct facets; this suggests the axehead has been resharpened and potentially more substantially reworked, as might also be suggested by it's small size. There are some large, hinged …
