A possible whetstone of unknown date, it is rectangular in shape and measures 71.72mm in length 30.47mm in width and 14.1mm in thickness. The stone appears to be a limestone and has scratches across its faces and deep diagonal grooves along one side. Both faces have circular semi-perforated holes in opposing corners, these holes are in the same position in both faces but why they were not drilled all the way through is unknown. It is possible that this object is unfinished.

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…

An incomplete stone hone, probably formed from a pale yellow/white schist, missing both ends due to old breaks. It is rectangular in form and section, with some damage to at least two faces and tapering slightly towards one end. All faces have evidence of use wear resulting in the surviving surfaces being worn smooth and the corners/edges rounded. It measures 153.48mm in length, 26.16mm in width, 20.83mm in thickness and 161.56g in weight. This is a simple stone (schist?) hone or whetstone. The lack of any distinctive typological features makes close dating of hte object impossible …

An incomplete stone object, probably a hone or whetstone of uncertain date. It is formed from a hard grey/brown stone, probably a schist or similar, with micaceous inclusions. The surviving fragment is rectangular in form and section, terminating at both ends in old breaks. Along one long side the edges have what appear to be longitudinal grooves or bevels, past which the object terminates in old breaks. The other three surviving surfaces are worn smooth and demonstrate signs of having been deliberately worn or used. It measures 77.37mm in length, 33.02mm in width, 19.28mm in thicknes…

An incomplete worked stone object, probably a whetstone, hone or similar object of uncertain date. It is formed from a relatively hard pale white/brown stone that has sparse very small quartz-like inclusions. the entire object is rectangular in form, square in section and missing part of one side due to old breaks. The surfaces have extensive wear resulting in smooth edges and corners and there are traces of possible tool marks in places indicative of deliberate manufacture. It measures 62.13mm in length, 23.42mm in width, 23.76mm in thickness and 55.44g in weight. This appears to be …

An incomplete pendant whetstone of uncertain date. It is formed from a thin, dark grey and fine grained stone that is slate-like in appearance. The surviving fragment is rectangular in form, oval sectioned and terminates at one end in old breaks. At the butt end the sides taper to a squared off end where there is an off-centred hourglass perforation. The entire object measures 31.30mm in length, 14.92mm in width, 3.65mm in thickness and 3.54g in weight. This is an incomplete pendant whetstone of uncertain date, possibly dating to the Early Bronze Age (c.2550-1600 BC) or perhaps even t…

An incomplete and worn stone object, probably a whetstone or hone, of uncertain date. It is missing parts of both ends due to old breaks and demonstrates evidence of use-wear and post-depositional corrosion. The object is rectangular in form and section, formed from a fine grained and micaceous stone, probably a schist or similar. At the top is a central circular perforation that is countersunk on both faces suggesting it was drilled from both directions. One side of the top is missing due to old breaks. Both sides of the hone show signs of use wear and the tapering tip of the object …

An incomplete and worn stone object, probably a whetstone or hone of uncertain date. It is formed from a very finely grained dark grey to black stone, and is square in section and rectangular in form. All surfaces show signs of extensive wear and corrosion, resulting in all corners being rounded and the surfaces slightly concave in places.
