Fine-grained greenstone cobble, circular in plan, and hexagonal in profile and section. The upper and lower or base surfaces have both been ground flat and both ends are bevelled end, suggesting use as a pestle. Such pieces do turn up on domestic sites but not in any quantity compared to mullers and rubbers. On these objects the waterworn cobble surfaces are all fresh and unweathered, appropriate for selection from a beach during the Neolithic. The beach selection would ensure hard enduring pieces. It is quite possible that the wear on these objects has been caused by grinding pieces …
