Flint flake 7.5cm long. Grey, lustrous unpatinated flint. Prominent butt and cone of percussion. Modern damage on one side. This was the only artefact seen in walking the entire length of the road works in both directions, from the east side of Peddar's Way to a little west of the point where this flake was found, and conditions for collecting were good.
Identified by J.J.Wymer (NAU) 16 December 1985.
