A flint tool; an end scraper probably dating from the Early Neolithic period (4000 - 3500 BC). It is sub-rectangular in plan and trapezoidal in section. The flint is mottled grey brown in colour and has a small piece of cortex surviving at the distal end on the dorsal face. The scraper is formed on a secondary blade with retouch on the distal end. The retouch is short, sub-parallel and abrupt across the whole of the distal end, which is straight. Compare examples in figure 50 on page 126 of Butler's Prehistoric Flintwork.
