End scraper. Made from pebble flint, there is no prepared platform. The dorsal faces is almost completely covered in cortex except for some abrupt retouch at the distal end. The flint has a reddish tinge to it which suggests burning or heat treatment. It is sub circular in plan and has a plano convex profile. The ventral face has not been retouched.

End scraper. Plano convex in profile. The ventral face has not been retouched. The bulb of percussion and the prepared platform are still present. The dorsal face has been abruptly retouched at the distal end creating a concaved edge which contains use wear. Apart from at the very distal end the lateral edges have not been retouched. It has been made from pebble flint. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 127, Fig 51, No 2 which dates to the Early Neolithic.
