A complete bevelled pebble with probable hammer use wear of Mesolithic date. The tool is oval in cross section and tapers slightly from one end to the other. It is bevelled at one end and shows use wear consistent with hammering at the other.
Bevelled pebbles are fairly common finds on later Mesolithic sites, particularly along the coast. They are commonly interpreted as being used in the processing of seal skins. This particular tool has been used as a hammer in addition to the bevelled edge, and may have been carried inland for this purpose.

Flint blade core, probably of Mesolithic date
The blade core (weight 30.2g) is a double-platform core made on a beach-pebble, with platforms at each end. The blades have all been removed from one side, with the other side being cortical. There is evidence of core preparation grinding on both platforms. The flint has patinated pale-grey to white.

Perforated stone pebble, possible Prehistoric stone pebble hammer or mace-head of Mesolithic or Neolithic date
The mace-head is made on a water-rolled pebble and is complete (with a length of 126.6mm, a maximum width of 85.7mm, a maximum thickness of 33.3mm and a weight of 558.1g). The perforation is off-centre and has a pronounced hour-glass profile (with diameters at the faces of 31mm and 33mm and a minimum diameter of 9.0mm). There is evidence of pecking on the sides of the perforation, which are now well-worn, probably through subsequent water action, rather than rubbing from a haft. The central ridge of the perforation would make any hafting relatively unstable. Other than the perforation, there is no evidence of human alteration to the pebble. One of the ends is naturally flattened, while the other is more pointed, it is possible that there is some evidence of battering on the ends but subsequent water-rolling has made the battering scars inconclusive.
A visual geological examination was carried out on the perforated pebble (By Dr Jana Horak, Head of Mineralogy & Petrology; AC-NM) which concluded that the stone is a dolerite, with a likely provenance of within Pembrokeshire.
Perforated stone pebbles, often referred to as 'pebble mace-heads' have received some attention in studies on mace-heads; Roe (1968) states that battering scars are frequently observed on the implement type, which implies their use as hammers and suggests the name 'pebble-hammer'. Roe (ibid.) also notes the occurrence of the implements in Mesolithic, rather than Neolithic contexts. This perforated stone is without conclusive evidence of battering scars and the form of the perforation would also make hafting problematic. It may be suggested therefore that this perforated stone may have been utilised as a suspension weight.
