Description: | A possible unfinished stone pebble macehead of prehistoric date, broadly Mesolithic - Bronze Age circa 6500BC - 2000BC.The object is sub-ovate in plan and broadly rectangular in section with smooth rounded corners and is formed from a sedimentary quartzite.The central shaft hole is incomplete with one fairly deeply drilled recess on one side and a shallow notch on the opposite side. The two holes are misaligned which may account for the objects unfinished nature. An attempt at a second and third hole also appears to have been made on the first side though both are only very shallow.The stone is a burnt orangey-brown colour. The object is 190mm long, 54.6mm wide, 38.4mm thick and weighs 620g.
