Description: | A seemingly complete whetstone of uncertain date. The object has a round suspension hole, 6.6mm in diameter, at one end. In plan, the object is sub oval with flat upper and lower edges. It measures 46mm in length, 28mm across the 'shoulders', 13mm across the straightened upper edge, and 18.6mm across the straight lower edge. In cross-section it is sub-rectangular in shape tapering gently towards the lower end of the stone, as viewed in profile (max. 10.7mm, min. 9.4mm). All faces are fairly smooth, but the edges are smoother than the main surfaces. All corners and edges have been rounded and smoothed. The composition of the stone is a finely granulated blue-grey material with micaceous inclusions.
