Description: A barbed and tanged flint arrowhead of Sutton B type dating to the early Bronze Age / Beaker period (c. 2500 BC-c. 1500 BC) and made from a pale grey-brown flint. The arrowhead is triangular with lenticular cross-section and has scaled and low angle retouch, which covers one side but is only intrusive on the other (ie does not extend entirely across one face). Both barbs and the tang are present but damaged; it is likely that originally these may have all had flat ends.
