Fragment of late Medieval- Post Medieval pottery which has a blob of lead on the inside. It is a base sherd of a vessel made from a cream coloured fabric. There are traces of a darkish glaze on the outside bt it is quite abraded. The lead is on the inside and does not appear to be a pot mend as it is sat on the surface and does not go through the pot. It is odd, perhaps just an accidental spillage.

Object type: WHETSTONE
Broad period: UNKNOWN

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possible whetstone of unknown date. It is sub-oval in plan with rounded edges. It is a rounded oval in cross-section also with all edges rounded. It is made from a brown-grey stone. There are linear grooves on all the surfaces, possibly caused by sharpening tools. It is difficult to say that this is definitely a whetstone as natural stones could be used for this purpose without much working to make them suitable, this appears to be in that group.
