Small bifacial core, of impressively patinated black flint with lighter grey inclusions, now light misty grey to one face; the other is mottled brown, both faces have a few rusty iron scrapes. All flake scars are small, but broad and appear to be hard hammer struck. Neolithic to Bronze Age, 4,000 to 700 BC.

Mesolithic opposed platform bladelet core in fresh condition: - of unpatinated mottled grey flint with a few tiny areas of iron staining, sub-triangular sectioned with an angled platform at each end, the back (ventral) of the core is knapped from the edges towards the opposite edge, 90 degrees to the flake scars on the other face, there’s a rough, light brown hollow close to the middle, this may be a void within the flint nodule or a remnant of cortex. The dorsal face carries many blade removal scars, struck from either end and overlapping towards and beyond the centre, a few of the…

Rejuvenation flake from the face of a small opposed platform core: - of pale patinated mottled light and mid-grey flint, a few tiny recent chips to one side are recent damage and show the original colour to have been slightly darker than it is now. All blades struck from the core appear to be soft hammer struck, both platform faces are trimmed with small flake scars to alter the angles from striking blades from the main face, the smaller platform has an awkward, small hinged scar to one side and may be the reason why the entire working blade face was removed from the core, in effect u…

Thirteen small cores, most are opposed platform or multi-platform with many flake/blade scars to the working faces, all flake scars appear to be semi-soft hammer struck. The largest is partially corticated at the back where the angles do not allow removals from these surfaces, the platform is prepared by at least four flake scars, neatly making a flat surface at the correct angle to the main working face, approx. twelve flakes and blades have been struck from this main face with one fairly large flake struck from the base of the core, presumably to remedy a group of hinge termin…

Semi-bifacial core or crude chopper, all flakes are hard hammer struck from a naturally broken section of an oval sectioned nodule of flint, the cortex extant is weathered and mottled light grey/ brown, the flake scars are patinated orange with the black of the flint below showing through in places, the high points to the flake scars are abraded and rolled, appearing almost white. One face has four flake scars, the other has two to three, the latter may represent flakes taken from this face as platform preparation for the flakes to the other face. The lateral break has been utilised a…

Possible semi-discoidal core or crude chopper, now patinated orange with brown cortex extant to both faces, the high points to the flake scars are rolled and now appear white, recent edge damage shows the original colour of the flint to have been black/dark grey. The concave face has some possibly intentional flake scars, though at least one appears to be natural with exaggerated fissures to the surface, the other, more convex face appears to be more convincingly worked, though only a few flakes have been removed. The broad notch (c. 28 mm wide) to one side may be intentional. …

Large and well struck multi-platform core, all flake scars appear to be large and hard hammer struck with well defined negative bulbs of percussion where they survive the reduction process. Now patinated orange with the spotty inclusions now a lighter grey/brown, the high points of the flake scars are white where they have been abraded and rolled. All surfaces appear to be modified; no cortex remains. Lower Palaeolithic, 600,000 to 250,000 BC. Given the site, probably around the earlier date given.

Discoidal core, of slightly brown patinated dark grey/black flint with paler grey inclusions within the flint, all flake scars appear to be hard hammer struck centripetally from the edges, overlapping each other, one edge retains a small area of cortex. The condition is very slightly rolled, only the high points and the thin edges are slightly abraded. Lower Palaeolithic, c. 600,000 to 250,000 BC.

Probable core, of slightly dark patinated black and grey flint, all flakes are hard hammer struck from a fragment of a much larger nodule of flint, the core is thermally flawed; an internal crack runs across the middle of one face with the flakes removed from this area, indeed one large flake scar runs along this, the edge of the flake appears to be “channeled” by the flaw. The core has at least five flakes removed from it. Thin, worn cortex extant to one side. The condition is very slightly rolled, only the high points and the thin edges are slightly abraded.

Fairly small opposed platform core, of orange/brown tinged flint, a small patch of cortex is extant to one side where the blades struck at this point terminated in hinges and fell short, all other surfaces have been modified by blade removals from both platforms, one more than the other.  Likely to be Mesolithic, 10,000 to 4,000 BC.

Small core, hard hammer flake scars removed from just over half of the natural platform offered by a small thermally fractured piece of flint (pot lid), all removals are quite small and are limited by the size of the core: - now patinated white with pale buff coarse inclusions and spotty iron stains. Neolithic, 4,000 to 2,350 BC.

Small, hard hammer struck flake with further similar flake scars struck centripetally to both faces, the dorsal face has more strikes than the ventral, this face has a large thermal fracture at the centre: - of pale grey mottled flint in the centre, grading to dark grey at the edges and high points, Two small areas of cortex extant to the dorsal face.

Small piece of black flint invasively, bifacially and semi-centripetally to form a keeled core, the last flake to be struck from this core was centrally placed to take advantage of the previous converging flake scars in the fashion of a Levallois core. According to Butler. C, (2005) these are Early Neolithic, c. 4,000 to 3000 BC. Though the writer would have put this example later.

Small nodule of black flint invasively knapped from two platforms, one on each side to produce small blade-like flakes, both of the flaked areas have an internal flaw (running though the flint to the other side) and the blades/flakes must have come off in halves, the core seems to have been abandoned at this point. Neolithic to Bronze Age, 4,000 to 700 BC.

Small, worked out two platform core with a few opportunistic flake removals from other platforms, pale patinated grey/white flint with one area of natural thermal (frost) fracture remaining to one face, this is now a pale sandy colour, there are a couple of small iron scrapes to the surface from contact with agricultural machinery. All flake scars appear to be hard hammer struck. Probably Early Neolithic, 4,000 to 3,000 BC.

Small and stout discoidal core, of sub-plano-convex section with one side deeper than the other. The flint is patined almost white in some areas, with spotty iron stains to both faces, unusually the flint has a natural boundary between striped and swirls, both  of grey and white, recent damage to the edges show the main colour of the flint to have been of darker greys. All flakes appear to be hard hammer struck. Neolithic, 4,000 to 2,350 BC.
