A possible late Bronze Age/Iron Age flint hammerstone dating to c 1000-1BC.  The hammerstone comprises a flint nodule which has the cotex retained at the bottom as the hammer area.  The sides have flaked to create a comfortable position to hold the stone.  The top has been roughly shaped and may also have been used for hammering.

A retouched flint blade dating to the period 4000-3501 BC. The impliment is lenticular in shape but is missing a point. The flint is covered with retouching. The implement exhibits sub-parallel, low angle retouch on both faces along with some scaled retouch along both mesal edges. On the ventral surface, the bulb of percussion is missing and some concoidal rings are just visible.

A flint blade probably of Early Neolithic date (4000 - 3000 BC). The flint is sub-rectangular in plan with a curving long edge of retouch. In section the flint is thin and is fairly flat on its ventral face and rises to a sharp ridge on its dorsal face. The flint has a layer of opaque material over it and a layer of cortex along one of the long edges of the blade. There are areas of light orangey brown inclusions in the flint. There is no evidence of retouch on the ventral face. On the dorsal face, there is evidence of retouch where a long flake has been removed to create a ridge alon…
