A stone incomplete whetstone of uncertain date, probably late Early Medieval - early Post Medieval. This whetstone is rectangular in shape, flaring towards one end (from 20.00mm to 26.53mm), and wedge-shaped in profile. The other end is broken and missing. One of the sides has been deliberately scored with very regular lozenge-shaped cross-hatching; the other side has the natural striations of the stone. Hazel Forsyth notes that it is very difficult to date this object with any degree of accuracy.<\/p>
