Looks like youve got a lovely Neolithic blade there Al. If the notch in the long edge isnt plough damage, it could be a tool for striping bark from sticks to make arrow shafts or similar. a genuine swiss army knife of its day.
a great eyes only find

It is a Notched Scraper on a Tertiary flake with semi-abrupt retouch on the left mesial, ( the right when viewed from the ventral side, pic 2 and 3. The top end is called the Distal end and looks as though it may have been used as a tool for boring
so the artefact would be classed as possible Side scraper/Piercer combination tool from the Late Neolithic to Bronze Age period. There is a good Platform at the bottom, known as the Proximal End, but no visible BoP, Bulb of Percussion. Beautiful find Well done
