A probable flint end scraper of early Bronze Age date. The scraper has been made from a primary flake. At the proximal end is the striking platform and below this on the ventral surface there is a slight bulb of percussion and a bulbar scar. Faint ripples radiate down the ventral surface. The distal end appears to have been retouched, removing some of the cortex. The milky mid-grey flint has a mid-gloss patina. Dimensions: 35.2mm by 28.9mm by 11.5mm Weight: 11.48g

Two Bronze Age scrapers made from re-worked patinated flakes. 1) A blueish-grey flint flake had developed a blueish-white patina before being re-worked with steep invasive re-touch around two edges during the Bronze Age to form a side and end scraper. D-shaped and measuring 41.13mm long, 44.00mm wide, 13.20mm thick and weighing 26.95g. 2) A Bronze Age end scraper fabricated from a flake that has been struck from a core which had already developed a greyish-white patina. D-shaped, measuring 33.84mm long, 36.05mm wide, 13.19mm thick and weighing 16.26g.

Three Bronze Age flint awls of varying shapes and sizes. The largest is a triangular shaped flake that has been fabricated in such a way as to possibly form two workable points. The larger of the potential points has become broken at some time and may once have been c. 20mm longer than its present length of c. 30mm. This protrusion is 16.3mm wide and 12.0mm thick. The other point is set at approximately 90 degrees to the first and is much thinner and shorter. the third point of the triangle is unworked. The flint has a well developed white patina over buff-brown flint (revealed where …

An Early Bronze Age 'Y-shaped' tool. The purpose of this tool type is not clear and this example is not particularly finely worked. The flint has a light blueish-grey patina and measures 59.83mm long, 36.78mm wide at the top of the 'Y' and 18.95mm wide at the tail. It is thickest at the tip of the tail (11.88mm), where there is steep but rough re-working around all edges, and 8.29mm thick at the top of the 'Y'. The tool weighs 22.92g.

A possible Bronze Age flint scraper dating from 2150-800 BC. The object is a simple triangular shaped flake with a central ridge running along the dorsal suface, the wide end of which has possibly been re-worked. The object measures 31.95mm long, 22.41mm wide (tapering to 7.65mm at the unworked end), 7.31mm thick and weighs 5.59g.

A possible denticulated scraper dating from the Middle-Late Bronze Age. It comprises a large part of a flint nodule with cortex surviving on all sides except the ventral surface, which is flat and smooth. One edge appears to have been coarsely re-worked to form a rough scraper. However, the edge seems very sharp and new and it may be that this effect has occurred 'naturally' through the action of vehicles running over the object. Flint does not occur naturally in this area but the object was found in the verge of a lane and it may have been imported as rough metalling. The object meas…

A broken flint plano-convex knife of early Bronze Age date. The knife has been made from a tertiary waste flake. It has broken so that approximately half of the original implement (including the striking platform and bulb of percussion) is missing. The broken edge appears to have been retouched slightly at some point after the break occurred. There are ripples on the ventral surface. The whole of the dorsal surface is covered with pressure-flaked invasive retouch, as is part of the ventral surface, at the distal end. The mid-brown flint has a mid-gloss patina. Dimensions: 24mm by 14…

A large and thick flint end scraper of probable early Bronze Age date. The scraper has been made from a secondary waste flake. At the proximal end is the striking platform. Below this on the ventral surface is a bulb of percussion and a bulbar scar. There are a number of flaking scars on the dorsal surface and the distal end has been retouched. This end is quite worn and the dorsal surface overhangs the ventral surface, suggesting heay use and possibly reworking at some point. The mottled light to dark brownish-grey flint has a mid-gloss patina. Dimensions: 59.2mm by 51.2mm by 24.3m…
