Flint flake of Neolithic- Bronze Age date.
It is sub-rectangular in plan with rounded edges. In cross section it is D-shaped. The flint is mainly grey but has irregular sized patches of darker grey and white/yellow. There are three main flakes which have been taken off the upper face with a flat top and sloping sides. It is possible that there is retouch along the narrow end but it is faint.

Edge damaged flint flake from the the prehistoric period.
It is roughly triangular in section and in plan. It is made from a grey flint. The dorsal face has a central ridge which is broken where the flint is notched. The ventral face is smooth although slight cnchoidal ripples can be seen. One long side of the flint has been broken and chipped, probably when it has been in the ground.
This is likely to be a bi-polar flake which would explain the different fracture lines.
