An incomplete and worn stone object, probably a whetstone or hone of uncertain date. The object is formed from a finely grained, dark grey stone, with a sub-ovate section and sub-rectangular form, with breaks to both ends. Cut marks are present, and two edges are worn smooth. The object is 82.4mm long, 46.5mm wide, 14.9 mm thick, and weighs 80.1gm. While it is extremely difficult to date whetstones accurately without supporting contextual evidenence, the area in which this object was found displays a high degree of Early- Medieval activity and is therefore likely to date to …

County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Prehistoric antler from either a large Cervus species, or an Elk (Alces alces). The antler's bud measures 75mm x 62mm, and does not appear large enough to be from an Irish elk (Megaloceros giganteus). The breaks on the antler have occurred post deposition. Dates between 10,000 and 1,900 BC, probably from the earlier Mesololithic as the antler is partially mineralised. Length 378mm, width 331mm, thickness 62mm, and weighs approximately 8000g.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead spindle whorl of uncertain date, Iron Age to early Post-Medieval. The spindle whorl has an approximately plano-convex shape but has become deformed from its original shape due to damage. This artefact weighs 17.42g and has a height of 10.5mm. The base is roughly flat but has a concave groove running around the middle of the base forming a loop. This might suggest that the object was cast upside down (base up) and there was not quite enough molten lead to fill the mould. Alternatively, as lead is a soft metal, the artefact may have have rested on a separate loop ​​​at some…

Cast, lead medieval to post-medieval uniface token that depicts a saltire long cross with a triangular pellet in each angle. Lead 'long cross' tokens are difficult to date accurately as they had a variety of uses and were made locally. Historically cross and pellet designs were thought to be contemporary with the similar Medieval coin designs. However recent publication of moulds and double faced tokens that combine post-medieval initial style designs with cross and pellets suggest they continued into the post-medieval period. Therefore the token could date to anytime between c. 1250 …
