Flint tertiary blade with extensive retouch, probably of Mesolithic date. The proximal end has been retouched/chipped with the platform and part of the bulb of percussion removed. Scars on the dorsal face from at least two previous long parallel removals form the same platform. Short semi-abrupt scalar to sub-parallel retouch worked from the ventral side down the entire right edge (looking from the dorsal face). Translucent pale grey-buff flint, 33.9mm long, 13.4mm wide, 3.8mm thick; 1.59 grams.

Central section of a knapped chert blade. The blade is broken at both the ventral and distal ends. At the ventral end the bulb of percussion has been removed by an irregular snap. There is a knapped notch to the right side which probably started the snap but it has not snapped evenly, creating a point down the left edge. The distal end is straight with short, scalar retouch. It is dark brown flint and is 28.7mm long, 22.8mm wide and 5.3mm thick, it weighs 3.32 grams.
