Two flint tertiary flakes of Neolithic to Bronze Age date. 1. Struck off a prepared platform with a large bulb of percussion on the ventral face. Hinge fracture at the distal end. Large central aris on the dorsal face from at least two previous parallel removals, chipped edges. Mid-pale buff flint, 33.6mm by 31.9mm by 9.8mm, 11.02g. 2. Hinge fracture at the proximal end but part of a large bulb of percussion with wide bulb scars on the ventral face. Hinge fracture at the distal end. Large central aris on the dorsal face from at least two previous removals, one parallel one form a…

Two pieces of worked and burnt flint. One proximal end and one central section from a flake or blade. Both are tertiary pieces with evidence of previously removals from different directions on the core. The original colour of the flint is unclear. 9.82 grams. Worked and burnt flint and multi-directional flaking is typical of Bronze Age sites.

Flint cutting flake, sub triangular in plan and plano convex in profile. The dorsal side is convex with a central lateral ridge. The distal end is part cortex and part broken. The proximal end is one sharp-edged, low-angle large flake removal. The left margin is partly broken and has a mostly sharp serrated edge on the lower end. The right margin has a vertical snapped edge. The ventral side has a slightly curved convex surface. The right margin is possibly retouched with a small fracture on the lower end. The flint is dark grey cream in colouring. Butler (2005) illustrates a simi…

Flint flake, sub triangular in plan and plano convex in profile. The dorsal side has a low convex surface with a horizontal ridge extending from the upper left marginal tip. The distal end and left margin are serrated. On the ventral side the right margin has an abraded notched area. A bulb of percussion remains on the proximal end with conchoidal ripples emanating across the surface. The flint is dark orange, rust and red in tones and colouring. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 186, Fig. 76, No. 10 which is dated to the Bronze Age period.

An unpatinated short flake struck from a grey flint. It has a flattened striking platform that retains its cortex, prominent bulb of percussion and parallel flake scars on the dorsal face with limited crude edge retouch. The entire object measures 37.03mm in length, 18.77mm in width, 7.44mm in thickness and 3.64g in weight. This flint flake is of later Prehistoric date, probably belonging in the Bronze Age, c.2,150-800 BC.

A hard hammer struck thick triangular section flake of translucent dark brown flint . The dorsal ridge is bruised and there are hard hammered facets running from its striking platform. The flake is perhaps a remnant of a smashed hammerstone or strike a light? The left mesal edge has been sharply notched with abrupt retouch on the opposite margin. Butler(2005) illustrates a notched flake on page 169, fig 71, 8.

A short thick flake of grey brown flint with dull cream inclusions . The dorsal surface has wavy flake scars. The flint may have been heated as the small groups of fine retouch on the margins have a lustrous appearance.Butler(2005) describes utilised and retouched flakes or blades on page 134.
