Slightly curving length of antler tine, neatly trimmed and rounded at both ends, and now split longitudinally. THe centre of the cancellous tissue has been hollowed out from end to end and a patch of iron corrosions is encrusted inside the tube suggest it was a handle for a tanged iron implement. Similar handles are known from Early Iron Age sites such as Potterne (Lawson, 2000, 231,239) and All Cannings Cross (Cunnington, p106, PL.15).
