Early Bronze Age animal bone
This is the mid shaft of a long bone from a large animal. Both ends are square cut and smoothed down, the inside is hollow, making the bone tube like. The bone may be a deliberate tool, similar to the potential bone quiver (706), or it may have been caused by sea rolling.
A small amount of bark was recovered from inside the bone (2014.4).
