Roman whetstone
Complete whetstone, with rectangular cross-section. Most of the surfaces are dark grey (?burnt) and covered with sooty, slightly oily, ferruginous concretions, which make inspection of the surface difficult; all four principle surfaces are flat, level, and worn, although there is none of the distinctive wear pattern visible on many of the other stones from Loughor.
