Worked flint probably a Mesolithic bladelet with 4 striking scars and damage at the dorsal point possibly from a plough 8,300-4500 BC. The blade was originally struck from the proximal point evidenced by a bulb of percussion and there is evidence of retouch along the blade edges. The colour is a mottled greyish blue which is probably a result of frost patination. The length is 32mm and the thickness is 16mm.
