A nearly complete hone or whetstone of undetermined date, probably Medieval or later but an earlier date should not be ruled out.

The side surfaces are coloured surface possibly due to burial conditions or being heated in a fire. The surfaces have fine scratches consistent with metal sharpening. One end has been abraded in the plough soil. The stone is 66mm long and 24mm wide, and 22mm high, it weighs 48.4g
