This is a red/brown flint knife or spearhead with light cream areas. The thickness increases towards the base. Pressure flaking around the point can be seen but no patterning is evident. Both faces have areas that have not been flint knapped. The point curves inwards to form a bulbous base, this does have pressure flaking but not to the same degree as the point. The base also contains both step and hinge fractures.
