Description: | A stone incomplete whetstone of uncertain date, probably late Early Medieval - early Post Medieval. This whetstone is rectangular in shape, flaring towards one end (from 20.00mm to 26.53mm), and wedge-shaped in profile. The other end is broken and missing. One of the sides has been deliberately scored with very regular lozenge-shaped cross-hatching; the other side has the natural striations of the stone. Hazel Forsyth notes that it is very difficult to date this object with any degree of accuracy.Dimensions: length: 85.39mm; width: 26.53mm; thickness: 14.58mm; weight: 46.36g.Identification by Hazel Forsyth, Senior Post Medieval Curator, Museum of London.
