A curved round section arm slightly flattened on its upper face and slightly expanded towards a blunt point at one end; at the other is a loop of internal diameter 7mm. This is the most common and widespread form of pestle, and a late Iron Age form - albeit long-lived - as some examples come from hill fort or other pre-Roman contexts. Suggested date: Late Iron Age, 1-100AD.Length: 61.1mm, Diameter: 5mm, Width (loop): 11.7mm, Weight: 7.06gms.
