    • Honing stone made probably from a beach sandstone cobble and used as a hone stone due to their natural shape. This is heavily burnished on one long face showing clear use-wear in the form of burnishing on the longer faces. Part of the everyday use potentially related to fishing activity. Dimensions: L. 250mm. W. 90mm. D. 6mm
