Flint scraper, light brown opaque, flint, wedge-shaped section, retouched in two areas, around the curved edge, (short, scaled, abrupt) and inside a concave edge (short, scaled, abrupt). The retouch is coarse and that on the concave edge has been damaged by battering. Length 33.0mm, Width 20.7mm, Thickness 8.4mm, Mass 5.72g. This object is difficult to date but the crudeness of the working suggests a date in the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age.
