Description: | Probable stone Medieval cresset lamp, from the 13-15th centuries.It has four rectangular faces with the top and bottom sides being sub-square. The top side has a circular hollow in which goes down about a third of the way. The base is flat with some grooves/scratch marks on, it is possible this is to do with use, rubbing on the base it was placed on. The top side has two bevelled corners at the front, this continues down almost the whole length of the front face. The front face then has two pyramidal protrusions just below the corners. At the base of the front face each corner has a triangular protrusion, similar to the ones above, but this time leading to the base. The back is thinner than the front and has a crack down the back face.
