A flint thumbnail scraper which probably dates from the early Bronze Age. The scraper has been made from a small regular flake, from which the bulb of percussion has been removed. There are fint ripples on the ventral surface and a number of flaking scars on the dorsal surface. The edges of the dorsal surface has been retouched all around the distal end and partially along both sides, probably by pressure flaking. The mottled light and dark grey flint has a mid gloss patina. Dimensions: 30.63mm by 23.72mm by 4.72mm Weight: 5.08g

Lithic implement. Teardrop shaped in plan and sublozenge shaped in section. Hazel Martingell notes that this piece of light brown flint with cream coloured inclusions is a natural flint with pot lid fractures. However there are knapped areas. These pieces are called ‘tools of convenience’ as they are a mixture of natural and worked removals. These pieces are typical of the later prehistoric period, 1,500BC and onwards, but do continue to be used into the historic period. The piece recorded here was probably used as a pick or scraper. It is 137.78mm long, 85.06mm wide, 30.76mm wide …

Barbed and tanged arrowhead dating from the early to middle Bronze Age. This arrowhead is bifacially worked with covering removals and is triangular in shape. Two notches were flaked at the proximal end to form the tang and barbs which are now damaged. The tip of the arrowhead has been snapped, and the edges of the arrowhead show clear signs of plough damage. It is 25.75mm long, 19.47mm wide, 5.1mm thick and weighs 2.49 grams.

Five notched implements, length width thickness. All have semi-abrupt scaled retouch in the form of a concave recesses on one side of the implement, on three of the artefacts this is direct and on the other two this is inverse. Two of the artefacts have a creamy patina, one has a grey patina, one is a mid brown flint with a creamy patina starting to form and the last is a dark brown flint. Two of the implements have been reused and the notch has been removed the patina exposing the natural flint. All date to the Bronze Age.

Incomplete barbed and tanged flint arrowhead. This arrowhead has suffered some damage and is now missing the points to each barb and most of the tang. It is 33.68mm long, 27.82mm wide, 4.22mm thick and weighs 3.87g. The two long sides of the arrowhead form an angle of approximately 45 degrees. The flint is opaque and mid grey in colour, with small patches of creamy white. Flint arrowheads of this type were in use in the early Bronze Age sometime between 2200 and 1400BC. An example can also be seen in Pierpoint 1981, Prehistoric Flintwork in Britain figure 13, number 17.

Large, crudely flaked flint scraper. Made on a thick, secondary flake of mottled grey-brown and white flint. It has a mid-gloss patina two patches of yellowish nodule cortex on the dorsal surface. On the ventral surface is a large, scarred bulb of percussion. The striking platform has been flaked away. The dorsal surface has one main flaking scar with concoidal void at one end and several smaller scars. Around half of the circumference(on the thickest part of the scraper) has been coarsely and steeply flaked to produce working edge. Slightly worn and tumbled by ploughing.
