An oval shaped fine-grained sedimentary rock. The edges of this stone seem to have been augmented by chipping which have created a slightly sharpened edge. However the nature of the stone, being relatively soft, would preclude it being used as a scraping tool in most situations. The find of this stone is from an area which has produced other stone artefacts and this has been recorded as part of that assemblage. Measures 49.4mm length, 40.5mm width, is 12.2mm thick and weighs 34.03 grams

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Pembrokeshire
Workflow stage: Published
The stone is micaceous sandstone and has been worked to a near-spherical form. There is a flat area with a central indentation. This may have been used as a base, indicating that it may have been used as a decorative architectural feature, of post medieval to modern date. It is also possible that it may have been used as shot from a gun with a 3.5 inch bore. Stone shot was sometimes used before iron shot was introduced in the 17th century

A knapped flint of probable Neolithic date. The flint is sub-triangular in shape and resembles an arrowhead in shape. However, the flint has no invasive retouch and it retains the bulb of percussion and striking platform, a very unusual feature in Neolithic or Bronze Age arrowheads as the bulb of percussion is normally removed to facilitate hafting. The 'arrowhead' shape therefore seems likely to be coincidence rather than design. Very fine possible retouch resembling a saw blade may have been applied to both lateral edges, although it is possible that this has been caused during use …

A piece of chert, possibly worked. If it has been knapped from a core, it does not appear to have been retouched subsequently. The object does not have any of the clear hallmarks of human intervention - it does not have a clear bulb of percussion or striking platform. What appears at first to be retouch on the lateral edges may actually be natural damage and wear. The chert has a pale brown colour. Find not photographed.

Glass bottle fragment. A small fragment from the base of a wine or medicine bottle of blue-green glass [blue under reflected light but green in transmitted light], is here presented to illustrate the misleading result of multiple abrasions, which led the finder to initially consider this to be a prehistoric flint tool. The Australian Aboriginal custom of working up arrowheads from glass or china telegraph insulators could produce objects of this appearance; examples were displayed at North Lincolnshire Museum in recent times and are held by various museum collections. Such activity is…

An incomplete hone stone of uncertain date. It is formed from a grey/brown stone that has fine surfaces with traces of micaceous inclusions. The hone rectangular in form and section, tapering slightly towards the suspension end, and is missing the top of the suspension end and lower half of the object due to old breaks. At the suspension end are the remains of an incised transverse groove above which on opposing sides of the hone are drilled circular perforations/indentations that do ot perforate all the way through the object. These were probably utilised to secure the hone to a thon…

Small stone fragment, possibly the remains of a whetstone. Date uncertain. The surfaces are too worn and damaged to be abolutely certain that this was, indeed, an artefact. It may be natural. It is was a whetstone, the date range would be 2000BC-AD1900, as single stray finds of simple whetstones are notoriously difficult to date.

Buff Coloured medium compacted Sandstone (non-specialist identification by MF). Whetstone. Tapered hone of square section, carefully shaped and smoothed by use on all four sides, chipped at its narrow end and broken at the other. Either point-sharpening grooves or, more likely, post-depositional damage, occurs on one flat face; one aris also bears damage post-dating use of the object. The rectangular form is common for Roman hones, but continued in use - as perhaps did some of the same hones - into the Anglo-Saxon period. At this later period, large and carefully shaped hones,…
