A rare Roman antler rake, formed from the butt of a red deer antler. The section that would have been attached to the skull has been sawn through, as has the larger of the three tines. The smaller two tines appear to have functioned as the rake forks, although they are broken and incomplete; one bears evidence of saw / knife marks. In the main body of the beam a rectangular hole has been cut to allow hafting to a wooden handle - this hole measures 23mm high, 35mm wide and 34mm thick. Overall, the rake measures 1250.50mm long, 100.5mm wide and weighs 235.3gms.
