Relatively small flint thumbnail scraper (side and end) of probable later Neolithic - Early Bronze Age (3000-1800 BC), The flint is a pale brown pink colour with small a amount of white cortex on the upper / dorsal surface. There are signs of retouching on the edges of three sides - this retouch is best described as short sub-parallel, and abrupt. The scraper appears to be highly polished that suggests that it is a reworked flake from a larger implement, possibly an axe head. The scraper measures 20mm length, 14.2mm width and 6.5mm thick; it weighs 2.10 grams
