Group of fifty flint implements, thirteen of which are photographed here as the best worked pieces, including a leaf-shaped arrowhead, two gravers, three blades, three notched flakes and four scrapers, all dating from the Neolithic period c.4500-2100 BC. The majority of the group, eighteen, are waterworn waste pieces, or debitage, and there are thirteen worked waterworn flakes and six worked pieces apart from those illustrated here. The flint is mottled light to dark grey in colour with cortex remaining on some pieces, which is typical of the local beach flint found in the area.

Flint discoidal scraper, semi-circular in plan and sub-rectangular in profile. The scraper has been unifacially reworked on the right edge of the dorsal face and naturally truncated on the left edge where cortex remains from the original edge of the flint pebble. The ventral face retains the bulb of percussion at the proximal end. The flint is a mottled light to dark grey colour, made from a local beach pebble, with some of the orignal cortex remaining on the left edge of the dorsal face. The length to breadth ratio is about 6:5. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page …
