Fine-grained dense compact reddish-tinted Sandstone whetstone fragment, as kindly suggested by the finder. A sub-rectangular fragment of stone with two or three angled smoothed surfaces, rougher below where it has split along natural bedding planes, probably after its deposition, and broken at one end. The improvised use of hone stones is especially characteristic of the Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods; these might come from Glacial Drift, and in this case the stone is not local.

An incomplete whetstone of a fine-grained micaceous grey stone. The stone has a glittery appearance.
It is trapezoidal in shape with one pitted but fairly smooth end and a broken end with jagged edges. The stone is 25mm wide at the smooth end but then bulges slightly to a width of 28mm approximately 15 mm along its length before tapering slightly to width of 22mm at the jagged end. The cross-section of the broken end is rectangular with curved corners, stadium-shaped. At the rounded end the stone is 11mm thick and at the jagged end it is 9mm thick. Apart from the ends the stone's surfaces are smooth. On one of the flat faces there are 2 incised parallel longitudinal lines. On the other flat face there is one incised longitudinal line. There is a feint mark which may be a second parallel line. Also on that face there appears to be an abrasion line which crosses diagonally the incised line.
Length 60mm, maximum width 28mm. Weight 47.41g.

Micaceous grey fine-grained Sandstone hone [non-specialist identification by MF]. Rectangular flat-sided stone bar with smoothed zones along its longer edges, and lightly bevelled at one end - the other is broken at an angle. The flat sides bear prominently sparkling mica which does not appear on the edges, though these have received more wear. The stone lacks the green or blueish cast of Norwegian schist, and might be a glacial erratic, perhaps originating in Scotland. The use of collected stones for sharpening and rubbing is a feature of all metal-using periods before the Viking invasions, and this would have been one of the better whetstones for these periods. Suggested date: Unknown, Iron Age to Early Medieval, 800 BC- AD 850.

Fine grained moderately compacted pale sandstone whetstone fragment. A square section fragment from a longer and slightly tapering hone with all four of its flat sides smoothed by wear.

Sandstone whetstone fragment. Very slightly tapered cylindrical stone object, flat at its broader end and broken at the other. The sides are lightly dished and facetted by wear. The use of various stones for sharpening, either commercially imported or, more usually in this region, collected from local drift deposits, was especially characteristic of the Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon periods. Contact with Scandinavia introduced phyllite and schist hones which would dominate the market for hone stones until the later Middle Ages. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Early Medieval, 43-850.

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).

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).
