A flint core possibly dating to the Mesolithic period, or otherwise the Neolithic period, c. 10000 - 2350 BC. A single platform bladelet core of irregular shape, but tending towards conical. Made from a piece of mottled dark grey and light grey flint with a high gloss patina. There is a small area of cortex remaining.

Six flint waste flakes of Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age date (c. 7000 - 1600 BC), all showing a high gloss patina. The majority (Nos 1-3 & 5) are likely Neolithic to Early Bronze Age in date, however, Nos 4 and 6 indicate bladelet production and could date to the Mesolithic period. Flake 1: made on a secondary flake with white cortex remaining on part of the dorsal surface, the flint is dark grey with white-light grey inclusions. The proximal end of the flake is thin and the striking platform seems to have broken off. The distal end is…

Four waste flakes made from tertiary material, with no cortex remaining. They are likely made of grey flint, but have all been recorticated displaying a white patina of varying degrees. Three of the four flakes are elongate and therefore indicate blade production, likely of Mesolithic to Neolithic date (c. 7000 - 3500 BC). Flake 1: This is the smallest of the four flakes, and irregular in shape. It has a low-medium gloss white patina, but some grey is visible. The striking platform is narrow and the ventral face shows a low bulb of percussion. The dorsal face …

Flint blade, possibly a crude fabricator based on the form, therefore dating between the Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age (10,000 - 1600 B.C.) . Flint, light-grey with white inclusions, opaque, a very small patch of cortex remains, medium gloss patina. Sub-oval in plan, but more pointed at the proximal end and rounded at the distal end. Secondary working. The proximal end exhibits the striking platform. The distal end exhibits invasive, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch. Length 42.51mm, width 21.69mm, thickness 11.11mm, weight 10.38g.
