Description: | Two pierced stone water worn pebbles of unknown date or function. The two pebbles are of differing sizes but each have a single pierced hole which is perforated diagonally from one edge to the other. Both holes differ in size and do not seem to be drilled, in that there profile does not conform to the usual (egg-timer) shape. There also seems to be little wear on the holes. It has been suggested by the finder that they may be beads and this is a possibility, the discovery of them together also increases the likelihood of this idea.Pebble 1 measures 22.7mm length, 13.8mm width, is 14.4mm thick and weighs 9.34 grams. The hole has a diameter of 4.5mmPebble 2 measures 20.5mm length, 14.2mm width, is 13.6mm thick and weighs 4.84 grams. The hole has a diameter of 3.6mm
