Incomplete flint axehead of Neolithic date (3500 BC – 2100 BC). One end of the axe survives the remainder is lost to an old break. This is probably the butt end and represents about one third of unusually large axe. The butt is rounded and the sides taper outward from the butt. It is pointed oval in section, thickening from the flat butt to the break. The axe was shaped with large, invasive shallow flakes then smaller shallow scaler retouch covering the entire surface of both sides. It is 83.4mm long, 75.9mm wide and 40.8mm thick; it weighs 229.4 grams. Flaked axes were used as tools…

A utilised naturally perforated Flint peblle utilised as a possible flint pebble hammer of Mesolithic to early-Neolithic date, c.9000-3300 BC. It is formed by a oval flint with a central tapered hole. The oval hole appears a natural feature with possible later knapping taking place. Although recorded as a possible Hammerstone it equally could of served as a net sinker. Each end reveals some impact damage/crushing which has not occured to the sides.

An incomplete segment of a flint blade, dating to the Mesoilthic period (10,000 to 4300 BC). The remaining portion of the blade consists of the platform and bulb of percussion and part of the tapering blade. The tip of the blade is missing. The blade's shape seems to have been formed from three larger strokes for shaping and then further smaller knapping techniques were used to sharpen the edge. It measures 20.83 mm in length; 16.07 mm in width; and 3.33 mm thick. The blade weighs 1.3 g. The colour of the flint implies that it was not exposed to chalk deposits or surface elements, whi…

A Neolithic/ Early Bronze Age (3500-1500 BC) borer or piercer, measuring 65.68x35.29x18.01mm and weighing 33.6g. The object is sub-triangular in shape, tapering to a rounded point at the distal end. It is also mostly triangular in cross-section (except at the proximal end where it is rather more trapezoidal). Most edges of the object show semi-abrupt, short retouch, becoming more abrupt around the point. The flint is dark grey in colour with white streaks of patination (on the ventral face recent scars have removed this) and a rather glassy look to the surface.

Fragment of a Mesolithic (8300-3500 BC) flint blade . The fragment is 25.4mm long, 13.4mm wide, 2.8mm thick and weighs 0.96g. This is a tertiary flake with no cortex and the arrises on the dorsal face suggest numerous flakes had been removed from the core prior to this one. There is a lot of damage to the proximal end of the dorsal face, possibly due to the way it was struck. The bulb of percussion, with bulb scars, and shock waves are clearly visible on the ventral face. The blade has been snapped with a clean break after striking but it is not clear if this was deliberate.

A mesolithic mircolith, dating from 8300 – 3500 BC. The flake is a tertiary flake with arrises and bulb scars on the dorsal face showing where other flakes had previously been removed.
