Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Five flint chunks; debitage, of uncertain date, Mesolithic to Bronze Age (10,000 - 1000 BC). There is one primary, and three secondary of white flint with white cortex. The last is tan coloured flint with inclusions, and appears to be naturally frost fractured. Since flint is not found locally naturally, it is probably a fractured piece of debitage.

A flint tertiary blade of uncertain date, Mesolithic to Bronze Age (10,000 - 1000 BC). It is formed on white patinated flint. The right edge of the blade is the edge of a previous striking platform and has evidence of platform preparation visible on the dorsal face. The blade does not appear to be a core rejuvenation flake, but may have formed a similar function. It is 38.1mm long, 12.7mm wide, 6.6mm thick and 3.4g.
