A bi-polar core from Boulder Clay deposited in the last Ice Age, probably worked on an anvil, as indicated by the deep negative scar on the other side and the damage at each end of the piece. Late Mesolithic (between 7400-4000 BC) and similar to material, according to Ron Cowell of the Museum of Liverpool, from sites east of Liverpool or on the Wirral. Possibly the remnants of a larger pebble used to fashion smaller blades by striking, in this case on an anvil.
