Description: | An undatable Hammerstone formed on a rounded flint nodule, measuring 53.71x40.25x39.22mm and weighing 108g. Just over half of the nodule has had the cortex removed, although this does survive at one (rounded) end. There are areas of use wear (battering) at the other end and along the sides, with unused areas also on the sides where the object was held in use. This object is probably prehistoric, but such stones have also been found in later contexts (e.g. Roman) and it is difficult to be certain of the date.Date: Prehistoric (Mesolithic to Bronze Age) - c 8300 - 800 BC.
