Grey flint with cortex and light patches of patina probable scraper. Oval flake with broad flake removal from both sides and with cortex at one edge; other edges are battered. The unlovely appearance and crude working commend a relatively recent date. Suggested date: Bronze Age, 2350-800 BC. Length: 34.3mm, Width: 39.8mm, Thickness: 14.7mm, Weight: 23.34gms.

A scraper, most likely from the late Neolithic - Early Bronze Age, circa 2500BC-1500BC. Medium grey in colour with a small amount of cortex still adhering to the dorsal face and the platform and bulb are present.The whole of the dorsal face is worked indicating that it may have been taken off the edge of an axe (an axe sharpening flake) and then retouched at a later date into a scraper. The original date for the axe is most likely Late Neolithic.There is evidence of edge retouch/utilisation around 2/3 of the edge.

A late Neolithic/early Bronze Age 'Thumbnail shaped' Scraper, circa 2500BC-1500BC. Mottled black, red and mustard yellow in colour with the platform and bulb present and a very small area of cortex still remaining on the dorsal face. There are multiple negative removal scars on the dorsal face and an area of damage towards the proximal end, although the patina in that area is unchanged. The distal dorsal edge has been retouched for the scraping edge and retouch appears to be abrupt.
