Later Neolithic - Bronze age flint keeled core. The core has had small narrow flakes removed from one face from three striking positions, two at opposing ends and along one edge. A number of flake scars terminate in hinge fractures on the ventral core surface with strong rippling. The dorsal surface has had no flakes removed, it is unpatinated and suggests that the core has been struck from a larger nodule and then worked. The flint is a dark grey/black colour.
