Broad period: IRON AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fine grained compacted pale sandstone whetstone fragment. The remaining fragment is sub-rectangular and rounded on the unbroken face.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Neolithic polished flint axehead (c. 4000 BC-c. 2351 BC).
