An incomplete stone rod, possibly a stylus, of Medieval or Post Medieval date (c. AD 1200-1800). The rod is roughly cylindrical in shape with two flatter sides and tapers to a rounded point. One end appears broken and is sub-rectangular in cross-section. The opposite, tapered end appears to have a incised line which likely spanned the circumference, but detail is lost to wear. Stone styli were used from the 12th to early 19th century, often used with wax. The object is 27mm in length, 5.3mm wide and weighs 1.36g.
Parallels have been recorded in the PAS database, e.g. KENT-ADC560, DUR-ACFBFA.

The stone is a conglomerate with large quartz inclusions. This is likely to be the upper stone of pair of quern stones. The inner area, near the centre of the stone has a raised rounded collar, before the opening to take the grain. The underside of the quern is smooth and has a slight concave profile.

The stone tapers gently to the flat end. The top of the whetstone has been damaged and is irregular. The perforation is regular and has been drilled; it has been positioned slightly off-centre on one face. All four faces illustrate evidence of whetting, but show no obvious sign of being dished through prolonged use.Daniel Pett82.22-4.813847NMGW-0F3CB7303451POST MEDIEVALWHETSTONESN0613finds-30345411.56NMGW-0EE2F4Incomplete1066x41047images/mlodwick/244450013EC0F3CA01F4232003-05-13T14:31:54ZProbablyx14221123651.781944MEDIEVALStone41424MD129http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/MEDIEVALCertainCommunity2022-07-14T07:06:28.818ZPembrokeshire1000Unitary AuthorityPOST MEDIEVAL1Chance find during metal detecting254901999MDThis record was created before the Portable Antiquities Scheme began using the Central Database.
