Small piece of medium hard black stone, possibly jet or a Scottish pitch. It leaves a black mark when drawn across paper. There is a series of three parallel lines on one face, there is a chance that these may be artificial. A small piece of possible jet/shale debitage (LANCUM 585BA4) was found next to this jet/pitch. These may have come from a burial unearthed in the near vicinity in the antiquarian period. Measures 18x13x10mm. Dates between c2500BC & c800BC.
