A fragment of a Roman to Medieval pendant whetstone. The stone is rectangular in plan and square in cross-section. At one end it is perforated by a circular hole to secure it via a thong or suspension ring to a strap or belt. The material is brown to grey in colour and is possibly a finegrained sandstone or even a form of Schist. The faces are marked with scored lines as the scars of use. Manning (1995 :261-262) notes that whetstones are very common on Roman sites, especially military ones. Likewise it is known that Vikings wore pendant whetstones from the belt. Shopland N. A…

A copper-alloy weight of probable Late Medieval to early post-Medieval date. The weight takes the form of a thin circular disc. At the centre is a slightly raised ring with a small circular depression containing an unidentified white substance. This raised moulding is mirrored on the reverse and suggests that the object was turned on a lathe. Numerous concentric grooves and ridges on the reverse support this theory. On the upper surface are an inner and outer pair of deliberate, decorative rings. The artefact measures 59.9mm in diameter, 5.4mm thick and weighs 103.35g.

A lead or lead-alloy artefact which weights 7.70g, is 59.06mm long and 3.25mm thick. The object has a rounded point 2.95mm wide. The object then slowly increases in width to 7.67mm 39.36mm from the pointed terminal before beginning to flare out forming concave edges to a maximum width of 20.20mm. The object ends with a straight transverse edge at this widest point. This is likely to be a late Post-Medieval by-product of some sort and is unlikey to be a stylus. PAS record SWYOR-26B227 has been created for a similar item since this CAM-E462D3 record.
