Prehistoric probably late Neolithic- Early Bronze Age. Sub-triangular, convex/convex medium size, knapped, variable stripy grey/pale grey tertiary debitage. Bulb of percussion with large platform-formed by a hard hammer and some force with feint conchoidal ripple marks and a prominent stepped distal hinge fracture. There are two main flake beds on the dorsal surface with negative ripples. There are a number of relatively recent edge chips due to agricultural machinery damage rather than retouch. This is likely to date between 2500-1500BC.  Ref. Detector Finds 5, Gordon B…

An unusually shaped lithic implement of late Neolithic ot Early Bronze Age date, c.3300-2200BC. Description: Object is formed from an irregularly secondary flake of dark dense flint. One side has been carefully worked into an arm with retouch described as invasive scaled semi-abrupt retouch. This retouch is all from one angle. Measurements: 82.74mm long, 61.05mm wide, 17.59mm thick and 53.99g in weight. Discussion: The exact use and age of this object is uncertain.

A flint core possibly produced with the Levallois technique and dating from the Early Middle Palaeolithic to Late Middle Palaeolithic c.13,000 - 2200 BC. Description: The object is roughly rectangular with a rounded end. The flat end has a single subtantial striking platform and appears ot have substnatial shaping around its edges. The heavy wear and paitnation obscures much for the flaking making its itended use uncertain. Measurements: 85.51mm long, 56.76mm wide, 29.82mm thick and 145.20g in weight.

There is invasive, scaled low angle retouch across much of it was some short scaled abrupt retouch around the butt end possibly blunting the edge. The large break across the tools width is relatively old as it has begun to recorticate and patinate again. Where visible the fressh flint is pale grey-brown, the pat…

An uncertain flaked lithic implement probably dating to the early-Middle - early Upper Palaeolithic. Description: The object is formed from a secondary flake and is pointed with a wide rounded butt end. The dorsal face is slightly dished from a previous flake removal. There is invasive flaking along the edges of the dorsal edges. The point is formed from invasive retouch from both the dorsal and ventral faces. This work around the point obliterates evidence of the bulb of percussion, the conchoidal rippling on the ventral side is relatively subtle although still visible. The flint …
