Roman whetstone
Fragment of whetstone with trapezoidal cross-section. Two, perhaps three, surfaces appear to have been utilised; the fourth face is clearly a fracture. It is possible that this piece is the bevelled edge of a much larger slab, although the worn nature of the flat faces points towards secondary use as a whetstone, and the evidence for any original dressing is no longer visible.
