Description: | A flint hammer stone of uncertain date.The stone, which has a recent break at the top, is sub-cylindrical and resembles a core, although there is no clear evidence that it was used for this purpose. The pitted nature of the bottom end suggests repeated striking, most likely in the production of flint tools. It should be noted, however, that stones from cobbled surfaces also develop a similar wear pattern.Length: 49.7mm; width: 39.4mm. Weight: 68.87g.
