Mesolithic wooden object
A piece of worked hazel, 238mm long, tangentially split, sut on one narrow side so that it bagan to taper, possibly towards a point, although that end was broken. The other end was also broken but towards the middle of the break was a deliberately curving edge suggesting that it may have broken across a perforation in the timber. Any such perforation would created a weak spot in the timber, making a fracture more than likely.
