A possible chert scraper of Mesolithic to Bronze Age, 9000 BC - 1000 BC. The possible tool is formed on a tertiary flake of black chert with a dorsal ridge. It has possible retouch on all edges which is abrupt, sub-parallel and short. The removals are not particularly uniform, casting some doubt about their intentionality. Length: 50.57mm Width: 36.33mm Thickness: 11.1mm Weight: 26.96g The thickness of the flake and abruptness of the retouch rules out use as an arrowhead, but it would be a functional scraper.

A crudely worked possible side or hollow scraper made from a nodule fragment of dark brown flint, 61.9mm in length. The dorsal surface retains around 50% of its cortex. There is a patch of short abrupt scaled retouch along one slightly side, suggesting a use as a scraper. The proximal end appears to have battering damage.

A crudely worked notched or hollow scraper made from a nodule fragment of dark brown flint, 59.9mm in length. The dorsal surface retains around 70% of its cortex. There are patches of short abrupt retouch around the sides, most noticeably on the distal end and along a concave edge on one side suggesting a use as a multi-functional scraper. The distal end appears to have some damage.

A retouched flake or side scraper of probable Bronze Age date, struck from a secondary flake of brown flint, 53.8mm in length. One side has short abrupt scaled retouch defining a working edge. The dorsal surface retains around 50% cortex and the ventral surface has pronounced ripples suggesting hard-hammered removal.

A flint coarse-scraper possibly of very Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date (c. 2400 - 1600 BC). The object is made from a light brown opaque flint. Almost the entire surface of the flint is covered with a white patina where recortication has occurred. There are also spots of orange iron staining too. However, the distal end of the scraper is stained neither white nor orange, and shows the original colour of the flint. The object is a roughly semi-circular shape and has been manufactured from a tertiary flake of flint. On the ventral surface of the flake there is conchoidal …

A later prehistoric end scraper struck from a secondary nodule fragment of dark grey flint with a light brown cortex retained over 60% of the dorsal surface. The flake has been removed by hard hammering and there is no evidence of a prepared striking platform. The distal end has long semi abrupt parallel retouch defining a working edge which has been largely obscured by battering damage, some of this is clearly post depositional as it has broken the patina.
