An incomplete lead-tin or pewter alloy hunting whistle dating to the 18th - 19th century. The terminal of the whistle is in the form of an animal, probably a fox's head. The fox has a long oval snout beneath which is a linear mouth. Either side of the snout are lentoid eyes above which are pronounced and ridged eyebrows. The ears are small and rounded and one has been slightly flattened. The fur of the neck is represented with undulating moulded ridges. At the back of the neck is a circumferential collar and the object straightens with the curved perforation of the sound hole at the top. A second circumferential collar marks the end of the sound hole and the object terminates at this point with a break. The mouth piece is missing. The suspension loop is broken and unusually under the moulded head rather than in the usual position at the terminal end.
The object would have been used for sounding a warning, attracting attention or signalling, especially hawking although this one has the unusual moulded decoration of a fox or hunting hound design at the terminal. The object has a dark grey patina.

A cast copper alloy decorated hawking whistle. The object has a zoomorphic projection from the whistle body, which has the appearance of a bird. The bird features a long curved beak, circular incised eyes and a repeated incised pattern indicating feathers. At the top of the head of the bird is a crest with moulded grooves at each edge.
At a right angle to the body of the whistle is an incomplete handle which measures 12.68mm in length. At the top of the object the sound hole is C-shaped in plan. The mouth-piece is convex at the top and concave on the underside to accommodate the lower lip of the player, resulting in a narrow, semi-circular inlet hole.
The object has a dark brown patina and is good condition.

An incomplete lead alloy zoomorphic terminal in the form of a dog or wolf's head. The terminal is likely from a whistle.
The animal has an elongated snout the end of which is rounded and a clenched jaw. Behind the front teeth a perforation runs through the mouth to the opposite side. The eyes, on each side of the head, are rounded pellets with ridged brows above. The ears are sub-rectangular and flattened against the side of the head. Behind the head is a raised sub-rectangular sectioned collar. The collar is decorated with a series of pits or 'studs'. From behind the collar the neck extends before terminating with a break. The head is hollow and empty, no corrosion or iron staining is within the head. On the base of the object is a raised casting seem.
The object has a mid-grey patina and is in fair condition.
Dimensions: 44mm in length, 12mm in width, 15mm thick, 29.7g
Similar dogs head terminals have been used on Roman knife handles such as ESS-BE3913, LVPL-701AD2 and LVPL-18FDAE however the material and condition suggest a more recent date is also possible.
It is most likely the object is the terminal of a dog whistle dating to the Victorian period (c.AD1800-1900).

An incomplete and flattened cast lead alloy possible toy dating from the Post-Medieval to the Modern period. The object is semi-circular in plan and before it was flattened together would have been hollow. The open end terminates with an irregular break which appear to be recent. At the rounded end are two incomplete circular projections which may be casting sprus or part of the object. Each face is decorated with moulded ring-and-dot motifs, two of which are visible on one face. Also decorating that face is a 'flower' motif created with a central pellet surrounded by a circle of pellets. The object has a mid-brown patina and is in poor condition.
The decoration and form of the object is similar to that found on Post-Medieval to Modern toys such as can be found in Egan and Forsyth, (2005).

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 stone object, probably a whetstone or hone, of uncertain date. The object is rectangular in plan and cross-section. It is formed of a fine grained dark grey stone, possibly slate. The base of one face of the object and almost all of the opposite face is damaged where some of the stone has split away from the main body of the object.
Riveted to the top of the object is a rectangular strip of copper alloy forming an attachment loop. One end of the strip is cut in a diagonal while the opposite end is irregular. The strip measures c.10mm in width at each end and narrows to 4.5mm in the centre. Each rivet remains in-situ and measures 3mm in diameter. A slight grooved decorative depression runs the length of the strip. The copper has a smooth dark green patina, suggestive of an early date.
Whetstones or hones, due to being a functional artefact, change little over time, and can be of any date from the Roman to the Post Medieval periods (AD 43 to AD 1800).

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 have been used from the Bronze Age onwards and continued to be used for scythes and other tools into the 20th century.

An incomplete whetstone, dating to the early Medieval to Medieval period (c.AD 700-1400). The object is broadly triangular in plan tapering in width from the sub-oval pierced end to a rounded point. The wider end or top of the object is pierced with a circular perforation measuring 5mm in diameter. This appears to have been drilled from each face. It is likely that this hone would have been suspended around the neck by means of the hole at one terminal.
A fragment of the stone has broken away in recent times at the holed terminal end. Thin horizontal striations or scratches are visible on each face of the object.
The stone is a hardstone which is black in colour and has no inclusions. It is a small hone for personal use and would be hung from the belt by the hole and carried regularly.
See KENT-CCE2E7 which states: Very similar examples are known from Viking York(AY17/14, e.g. 9329) from 9th to 11th century contexts, but the shape and size continues into the Medieval period, with examples illustrated from Winchester in Biddle (1990,nos 3034, 3035) coming from fourteenth century contexts and some from Salisbury (Drinkwater in Saunders 1991:172, fig 47, no. 19 and 20) dated to the 12th century.

An incomplete pendant whetstone of uncertain date. The object is formed medium to dark grey fine grained and micaceous schist. It is rectangular in form and cross-section. At the top of the object the stone has been carved forming a circular collar and rounded projection. On top of this a piece of lead has been cast forming a 'cap'. The lead 'cap' has been perforated to enable suspension. The lead 'cap' has separated from the stone however originally would have been firmly attached. There is damage to the base of the 'cap' and to the base of the whetstone also.
Whetstones or hones, due to being a functional artefact, change little over time, and can be of any date from the Roman to the Post Medieval periods (AD 43 to AD 1800).
Currently only one other whetstone recorded on the database also contains lead but in the form of a repair, see: Bales, E (2006) NMS-615F38 A EARLY MEDIEVAL WHETSTONE Webpage available at: http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/120206.

An incomplete polished whetstone or hone stone. The object is oval in plan and is a crested oval in cross-section. It is smooth and polished on each face with small concretions adhering to one face. A series of linear scratches on the object are visible on each side. The whetstone has been manufactured from very fine-grained, blue-grey stone.
Dimensions: 135mm in length, 50mm in width at the incomplete end, 35mm in width at the narrow end, 45mm thick at the incomplete end, 25mm thick at the narrow end.
Dating of whetstones is difficult as they were used from the Bronze Age to modern times.
Examples of similar whetstone which can be found on the PAS database are PUBLIC-09CFC5, PUBLIC-BD3717 and LIN-4AF163 .
