A curved flint blade of probable Bronze Age date, 53.8mm in length and struck from a secondary flake of grey flint. The distal end has been worked into a triangular point with short semi-abrupt retouch on both sides. The flake has cortex on both faces at the proximal end suggesting that it derived from a nodule with a thick cortical layer.

A flint tool, taking the form of a serrated blade, probably dating from the Late Mesolithic to the Neolithic period, c. 7000-2351 BC. The blade is made from a tertiary flake of mid grey flint with a band of darker grey cutting diagonally through it. It is an elongated leaf shape in plan, and is slightly concave on one side and convex on the other. The dorsal face has a ridge running lengthwise slightly off centre. The flake is 36.16mm long, 16.58mm wide, and 0.75mm thick. It weighs 3.86 grams.

A triangular flint tool, probably a burin, borer or arrowhead dating from the late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, c. 2700-1500 BC. The tool is made made from a tertiary flake of light gray flint with a glossy patina.The flint is leaf shaped, with a sharp tapered point that widens to a more rounded blunt opposite end. It is a long oval shape in cross section.  There is a short, stepped, abrupt retouch around the point. There is a small striking platform and ripple marks running up from this and the dorsal face has a central ridge runnin…

A triangular flint blade of probable Neolithic to Bronze Age date, 43.7mm in length and struck from a patinated grey flint with a small patch of cortex on the distal end. The right side of the long edge towards the distal point has been worked with short abrupt retouch suggesting possible use as a piercer and there is a second patch of retouch around a notch on the left side long edge, suggesting that the tool may have been multi functional. This retouch has clearly broken through the blue-grey patination suggesting later prehistoric re-use of a much earlier struck blade, pos…

A secondary flake of dark grey brown flint which appears to have been removed by hard hammer from a nodule and re-used as a tool, probably in the later prehistoric period. The distal end is triangular with steep sides defined by long and short semi-abrupt retouch into a working point. The right side long edge has scaled low angle retouch on the ventral face to refine a cutting edge suggesting the tool may have had a variety of functions.

Lithic implement. Hazel Martingell kindly notes that this is an early Bronze Age bi-facially worked knife. It is rectangular in plan and lentoid in section. It is made on a piece of rich brown flint with a patch of mid grey. Each face is clearly carefully flaked and the edges retouched. The knife is broken, having snapped at one end. It has a surviving length of 37.58mm, is 17.24mm wide, 5.36mm thick and weighs 5g. Knives of this date are considered to be unusual finds in Essex.

Tertiary chert waste flake. Mid grey-brown chert with white flecks. Matt patina. A small striking platform can be seen at the proximal end. and there are waves of percussion on the ventral surface. The dorsal surface has three main elongate, longitudinal flaking scars indicating that it is the result of bladelet production. There is some edge damage along both sides where the darker colour of the underlying chert can be seen (this indicates that the damage is more recent). Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age.

A complete, Prehistoric, probable Late Neolithic - Early Bronze Age, knapped, small/medium size, multiple direction platform, flake core.
