A core worked nearly all the way around a single platform on a pebble of grey flint with opaque cream inclusions. The platform is facetted with the truncated scars of a previous flaking face at right angles to this one. Mercer(1981) illustrates a core with a similarly facetted striking platform on page 121, fig 52, L28..

A core worked half way around a single platform on a pebble of dark grey brown flint. The edge has been abraded and some blades have stopped short by step fractures. There are some oblique truncated scars on the flaking face, likely from a previous platform. Mercer(1981) illustrates a core on page 121, fig 52, L26..

A squat roughly square plan flake with abraded edges as though it has finally been used as a strike-a-light or hammer stone. The flint is mottled mid grey and light grey with opaque cream flecks.The dorsal and ventral surfaces are covered in facets and feathered flake scars, likely from an exhausted discoidal core. Butler(2005) illustrates a discoidal core on page 156, fig 65, 3.

An oval plan opaque cream and grey flint core. It is symmetrical in section with a sharp margin, worked on both sides for flakes. It may be that some of the flakework was to straighten and sharpen the edge for later use as a knife. Butler(2005) illustrates a discoidal core on page 120, fig 47, 6.

An approximately square plan tablet of opaque cream flint.Dorsal and ventral surfaces are covered in fine feathered flake scars from its likely use as a discoidal core.2 adjacent abraded sides are sharpened from each side and abraded as striking platforms.

A single platform core with flake and blade scars showing but now exhausted. It has been retouched along two edges working up to utilise an already existing point left from the time the object was used as a core. Then it was later probably used as a tool to make grooves, perhaps in bone, antler or suchlike material. The flint is dark grey in colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble. Bond [2004] illustrates a similar example on page 138, fig.5.125, No. F11 which is dated to the Neolithic.

A core of mottled cream and grey flint with rusty spots.It has been worked from both ends for flakes and there have been transverse removals when the pebble was bigger. The platform edges have been abraded but it proved difficult to proceed further as the base had become small and liable to crush. Butler(2005) illustrates an opposed platform core on page 87, fig 31, 4.

Flint core, oblong in plan and a rounded trapezoid in profile. It appears to be multi platformed and to have been worked all the way around. Wide flakes have been removed. The flint is pale grey and putty coloured with a brown-toned secondary cortex. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page, 120, Fig. 47, No. 2 which is dated to the Neolithic period.

This core does not have a prepared platform, but flakes have been struck from several directions. The piece is made from a clerical grey flint with light grey flecks. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of its secondary cortex. Mercer illustrates a similar piece on Page 120 Fig 51 No L16, which he placed in the Neolithic period.

The platform has been prepared with a hinge fracture that is concave in shape. Flakes have been struck on two sides, but the rounded outside has retained cortex. The piece is made from a mottled grey flint. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of the secondary cortex. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar piece on Page 121 Fig 52 No L25 which comes from an early Neolithic site.

This is a two platform flake core. The larger platform has flakes struck on all sides. The smaller opposing platform is concave from a hinge fracture. There is only tertiary cortex. The piece is made from a clerical grey flint. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is difficult to confirm with only tertiary cortex. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar piece on Page 120 Fig 47 No 5 which he dates to the Neolithic era.

A single platform core of light grey flint with cream flecks, worked 3 quarters of the way aound the edge of the platform. It was a difficult pebble to work with internal flaws and step frctures terminated some of the removals. A few expedient removals were attempted from flake ridges transversely before abandonment.Butler(2005) illustrates a core on page 180, fig 74, 2.

Flint chert core, ovoid in plan and trapezoid in profile. Multiple long flakes have been removed from two platforms which are obliquely angled. The core has been worked over half of the way around. The flint is translucent dull orange beige with a secondary cortex of cream tones. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on page 119, Fig. 50, No. L. 14 which is dated to the Neolithic period.

Flint core, an elongated triangle in plan and lozenge shaped in profile. Long flakes appear to have been removed from a single platform. The core has been worked just under half of the way around. The flint has tones of mid to light grey with a cream section and a secondary cortex of cream grey in colouring. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 120, Fig. 5.104, No. 73 which is dated to the Mesolithic period.

Flint pebble core rejuvenated flake, oval in plan and sub-triangular in profile. Bulb on ventral face. A layer of cream brown cortex is present at the distal end on the dorsal face, flakes removed from the proximal end. Slight possible scraper retouch on the left edge on dorsal face. The flint is caramel brown colour with lighter and darker inclusions. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 120, Fig. 5.104, No. 74, which is dated to the Mesolithic.
