A flint core of probable Neolithic date 4000 BC - 2200 BC. It is a patinated tertiary chunk which is piriform in plan and D shaped in cross-section. It is an irregular core with two striking platforms at right angles to each other. One is at the pointed distal end. The other is the flat ventral face from which the removals forming the rounded proximal end have been worked. The core produced flakes. There is later damage on the ventral face where accidental removals have revealed an iron rich orange colour under the patinated white surface. The core is 58.3mm long, 47.4mm wide…
