A flint rounded scraper of possible Neolithic date, 4000 BC - 2200 BC). It is a tertiary flake, apart from a tiny patch of cortex on the right dorsal face, of mottled light grey flint which is patinated. It is sub-semi-circular with no obvious bulb of percussion or ripples, making it difficult to orientate. There is long, abrupt, scaled retouch on all the curved edges, making a D shaped scraper. It seems too large for a thumbnail scraper, so is probably a rounded scraper, which are uncommon on Mesolithic sites, but are a feature of the Neolithic. It is 30.3mm long, 22.8mm wid…
