Hand punched pits are punched in irregular vertical lines from the neck of the thimble to the base, and in a rough circular pattern on the dome. There is a single indented line running circumferentially around the open mouth of the thimble. One part of the outer wall casing of the thimble is broken and cracked although it remains intact. This type of thimble was in use from c. AD 1400-1550.
