Small bone counter, almost rectangular but with slightly concave edges, polished on its sides and upper face and slighlty burnt in places. The upper face is decorated with thirty small indentations comprising two pincer-patterns back-to-back on either side of a central transverse line formed by the three alrgest dots. Small gaming counters, or plaques of this kind are well documented from Iron Age sites across southern Britain such as Maiden Castle (Sharples, 1991, 236-7, fig.188), All Cannings Cross (Cunnington, 1923, 77, PL.6) and Potterne (Lawson, 2000, 230,239, fig.93).
