English: 41 Lithic implements.

1) Leaf-shaped arrowhead, length 37mm, width 19mm, thickness 3.5mm. Invasive, long, low angled flaking scars cover most of the ventral and dorsal sides. Dark grey colour with lighter patches, patina forming. Date Neolithic. 2) Probable truncated arrowhead, length 14mm, width 16mm, thickness 4mm. Large bulb of percussion on the ventral, one arise on the dorsal, short, semi-abrupt, direct retouch on both sides, the tip is missing. Creamy patina, light grey flint in break. Date Neolithic. 3) Two truncated blades, length 17mm, width 14mm, thickness 3mm. Bulb of percussion on the ventral, one arise on the dorsal. One has short, direct, abrupt retouch on the right side. Both have the distal end missing, light grey patina. Date Late Mesolithic-Early Neolithic. 4) Notched piece, length 21mm, width 12mm, thickness 4mm. Bulb of percussion on the ventral, one arise on the dorsal, notch on the left side consisting of short, inverse, abrupt retouch. Brownie-grey flint with a mottled creamy patina, the retouch has removed the patina. Date probably Bronze Age. 5) truncated piece, length 16mm, width 19mm, thickness 9mm. One arise on the dorsal, no bulb on the ventral, no retouch remaining. Grey flint with a creamy patina. Date Prehistoric. 6) Miscellaneous retouched piece, length 25mm, width 14mm, thickness 10mm. No bulb on the ventral, one arise on the dorsal. Short, semi-abrupt, direct retouch on the left side. Grey colour with patina forming. Date Neolithic-Bronze Age. 7) Piercer, length 25mm, width 23mm, thickness 5mm. Multiple flaking scars on the dorsal, bulb on the ventral. The right side has been shaped in to a point with short, abrupt, inverse retouch on one side and direct on the other. Grey flint with lighter patches, patina forming. Date Bronze Age. 8) Side scarper, length 25mm, width 22mm, thickness 9mm. On bulb on the ventral, invasive flaking scars on the dorsal with 20% cortex remaining. Retouch on the left side consisting of direct, semi-abrupt, scaled, rough flaking scars. Creamy patina, the retouch has removed the patina and the butt has been broken, both are signs of later reuse. Date Bronze Age-Late Iron Age. 9) Side and end scraper, length 26mm, width 22mm, thickness 10mm. No bulb on the ventral, 75% cortex in the dorsal. The forward edge is angled and slightly crescent shaped this and the left edge has direct, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch. Dark grey flint with a light mottled grey patina, the retouch has removed the patina. Date Bronze Age. 10) Convex end scraper, length 25mm, width 30mm, thickness 12mm. Flaking scars cover the ventral and most of the dorsal, which has 5% cortex remaining. Convex, semi-abrupt, direct scaled flaking scars on the forward edge. Dark grey flint with lighter mottling. Date Bronze Age. 11) Miscellaneous retouched piece, length 16mm, width 11mm, thickness 3mm. One arise in the dorsal, small bulb of percussion on the ventral. Short, abrupt direct retouch on the forward edge. Brown flint with grey patch. Date Late Mesolithic-Neolithic. 12) Miscellaneous retouched piece, length 15mm, width 21mm, thickness 5mm. Convex forward edge with inverse, short, low angled, rough retouch. No bulb on the ventral plain dorsal. Rich brown patina, date Prehistoric. 13) Possible core fragment, length 26mm, width 16mm, thickness 17mm. Multiple long flaking scars. Cracking throughout where it has been burnt, but also heavily effected by frost damage. Date possibly Late Mesolithic-Neolithic. 14) Two burnt flakes, length 18mm, width 12mm, thickness 12mm. Creamy colour with cracking throughout the object. Date Prehistoric. 15) twenty-five fragments of debitage. (these have not been photographed) Consisting of. 2 Primary flakes, average size length 44mm width 25mm, thickness 11mm. One is light grey patina whilst the other has a brown patina, both have more than 50% cortex remaining. Date prehistoric. These are waste flakes from the manufacturing process. 8 Secondary flakes. average size length 30mm width 15mm, thickness 5mm. Most have a dark grey colour, all have less then 50% cortex remaining. Date Prehistoric. These are waste flakes from the manufacturing process.

15 Tertiary flakes, average size length 21mm, width 17mm, thickness 6mm. Most have a light grey colour with a light patina. Date prehistoric. These are waste flakes from the manufacturing process.
