Flint awl on a primary flake, dating from the Mesolithic period through to the Bronze Age. The outer face is almost entirely covered in the cortext surface. The piece has a triangular terminal at the top (as the photograph) which has been retouched along both edges to form the point. The lower end is the bulb of percussion and as such is wider and rounded at the base being 9.71mm wide compared to 3.7omm at the top. On one edge a triangular section has been taken out, it is difficult to tell if this was deliberate or is the shape of the flint naturally. It is difficult…

Three flint flakes dating from the Mesolithic period through to the Bronze Age. They all show signs of recortication (a physical change to the flint caused by acid rain). They range in size from 39.02mm x 23.82m to 29.66mm x 17.97mm with a combined weight of 16.2g. It is difficult to date flint precisely when it has been found out of context as a stray find, so a broad date has been assigned to these.

Large scondary flint flake dating from the Mesolithic period to the Bronze Age. It is made from a grey flint with some lighter grey patches. It is sub-trapezoidal in plan with irregular edges. The front (on the photograph) has some of the cortex surface remaining along the bottom. It is wider at the bottom and the top edge is thin. The bulb of percussion is clearly visible on what is shown as the left side of the reverse on the photograph. It is difficult to date flint precisely when it has been found out of context as a stray find, so a broad date has been assig…

Flint flake dating from the Mesolithic period to the Bronze Age. It is made from a grey flint with white inclusions. It is sub-rectangular in plan with a couple of irregular flakes taken off at the end. The bulb of percussion is not clearly visible. It is difficult to date flint precisely when it has been found out of context as a stray find, so a broad date has been assigned to these.

Two secondary flint flakes from a core. Both are from a greyish-brown flake. One is semi-circular in plan with the rounded edge having a line of cortex remaining. The straight edge is the base with the bulb of percussion. It is 33.53mm wide and 7.32mm thick. It weighs 4.2g. The other flake is sub-triangular with a small fragment of cortex. It is 21mm wide and 24.5mm long. It weighs 2.8g. It is difficult to date flint precisely when it has been found out of context as a stray find, so a broad date has been assigned to these.

Three flint cores from the prehistoric period. They all have flakes taken off them and are irregular in shape. They are made from a dark grey flint with lighter patches. In total they weigh 37.9g. As they are cores, with no defining features it is difficult to date them precisely when they have been found out of context as stray finds, so a wide date has been assigned to them.

Broken small flint blade, Mesolithic- Bronnze Age in date. It is a blade or point which has broken. It has a triangular cross-section with a flake having been taken off each side. At the pointed end the blade is bent. On one long side there has been some re-touching and this continues around the point. It is made from a grey flint which has different shades.

A piece of worked flint, possibly the beginnings of an arrowhead. Dating from the Neolithic to Bronze Age. It is sub-triangular in plan with a small piece of the cortex remaingin on one edge. It is a light grey flint with some small white inclusions. In cross-section it is triangular with a central ridge on one face. The two long sides have evidence of working and one side has a semi-circle taken out near to the base.
