Block of possible sandstone, hollowed out cylindrically inside to make a possible vessel. Externally there is a carination close to the base. The rim is missing (surviving height 98 mm) and the breaks are abraded. There are three cracks around the circumference which have been eroded externally to form clefts. Internally the surface is a reddened orangey colour, and externally there is an orange patch close to a blackened patch; the colours appear to have sunk in between the grains of stone, like pigment or lichen. The inside has a curious smell which people tend to describe as 'burnt curry'. Its function and date are unknown; it could equally well be turned upside down to form a finial. Nevertheless it has been recorded in case it can be identified in the future as an archaeological object.
