A retouched flint flake of suggested middle Neolithic to early Bronze Age date c. 3300-1000 BC.  The secondary flake is elongated and sub-triangular in plan and cross-section; a small section of cortex surviving at the distal edge which has a chip at the terminal with fresh breaks suggesting more recent damage. The ventral surface is slightly concave with a pronounced bulb of percussion and raised rippling suggested hard hammer working. The dorsal surface has five removal scars with crude removals at the proximal end, possibly damage, but some finer …

A flint retouched flake of unknown date, probably Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age, 10,000 - 1000 BC. It is formed on a tertiary blade of semi-translucent dark grey flint which is hardly patinated. The blade is sub-rectangular. There is edge damage on the right side, but the removals on the left seem more organised and may be retouch, particularly at the promimal end. They are short, semi-abrupt and scaled. The blade is 35.4mm long, 20.3mm wide and 4.7mm thick. 3.5g.
