'Bevelled pebbles' are a distinctive tool type made from natural elongate stone pebbles with a worked double bevel at one end. These tools are characteristic of Later Mesolithic sites and are found along the coasteal areas of South Western Scotland, Wales and Cornwall. Their function has long been the subject of debate with theories about their use ranging from their being for the removal of limpets from rocks to being hammerstones for knapping. Another interpretation is that they were used for seal skin curing. Further interpretive notes on the Porth-gain assemblage are held by the Department of Archaeology & Numismatics, National Museum & Gallery Cardiff.
