Black conical stone found on the bank of the Afon Carrog, near to Collfryn, Bethesda Bach. It may be a naturally-shaped object.
The surface of the stone is smooth, and the corners rounded, which although consistent with the action of water on the object, may suggest that it was used as a tool. The larger end of the stone is flattened, and seems to be more polished. Whilst this may be a result of contact with manganese, it also indicates that the stone may have been used for rubbing against another material. It may therefore have been used as a pestle, or a burnishing tool.

A Post Medieval - Modern ivory incomplete object (probably 16th-18th century). The object is a pointed oval in plan with a D-shaped cross-section so the reverse is flat and the front convex. The rounded end is complete and has been worked to form a rounded point. There is an oval perforation at this end that may be deliberate or accidental. It is centrally aligned at the end of the object and has smooth edges from the front surface. When viewed from the rear the sides and edges are rough and appear to be damaged. The rear surface also has a pointed oval shallow depression with h…

This retouched tool combines tools of two groups: a concave truncation burin and a straight truncation. The blade support on which the tool is made measures 77 x 19 x5mm in maximum dimension. The dorsal scar pattern on the blade indicates it was also one of a sequence of blades detached preferentially from one end of a blade core. The flint is a lightly patinated mottled grey colour and is in fresh condition. There are a number of negative flake scars on the ventral surface which appear to be contemporary with the tool as they display the same patination as the main surfaces.

Tool/implement (length 121mm); bone handle (length 108mm)with an elliptical section narrowing to a point at one end. Other end has remains of an iron shaft extending from it; iron is extremely corroded and incomplete. It may have been a hook, point or other implement but too little remains to identify it. There is a single linear indent along each face of the bone handle. Presumably a tool, for example for use in textile working. It appears that both the iron end and the pointed end of the bone handle were utilised.
