Worked object probably for use as a whetstone. The object is rectangular in plan and sub-rectangular in cross-section. Each end of the object is slightly rounded. The two sides of the object have both been worked and patterns of ware are visible. One side shows more use than the other, the centre of which is slightly convex. On the wider surfaces of the stone small inclusions of mica can be seen, however none are visible on the used sides. The stone is mid brown in colour. This object may have been in use from Pre-history to the Post-Medieval period. An exact date is unknown.

A possible whetstone of uncertain date. The object is rectangular in plan and in cross-section. The sides and edges of the object have been smoothed down. Striations can be seen on one face of the object. Whetstones or hones are hard to date due to the fact that as it is a function artefact, shapes or styles do not tend to change much over time. It is possible that this artefact was made between the later Iron Age and the Modern period (200 BC to 1800 AD).

An incomplete possible whetstone of uncertain date. The stone is lentoid in profile and circular in section constructed from fine grained sandstone with a high mica component. Each end of the object has broken away. A deep linear groove measuring 5.16mm in width runs transverse across the centre of one face, possibly caused by sharpening tools. This form of whetstone is fairly ubiquitous throughout history. It is difficult to say that this is definitely a whetstone as natural stones could be used for this purpose without much working to make them suitable. Whetstones are known to h…

A cast lead alloy spherical weight or spindle whorl of uncertain date. The object is sub-spherical with flattened ends where the large central perforation truncates the ball. The internal walls of the perforation are straight. The internal diameter of the perforation is 7.14mm. Other weights of this shape have been suggested to be net or line weights from fishing. Modern line weights are similar but tend to have a smaller perforation. The well developed patina suggests that the weight has some age, but it is not possible to suggest the period.
