That face has scars from long parallel blades being removed with the remains of a single striking platform at one end. The other face it is mostly unworked with a natural break at one end which has removed most of the striking platform, the rest being natural cortex.

Mesolithic knapped flint core, roughly cylindrical in shape with one prepared striking platform at one end. Although the platform is roughly oval, there are multipile facets around the edge, mostly anguler and broken.

The remaining surface shows evidence of a number of parallel blades having been removed from all around the sides. It is 35.4mm long, 30.…
