Early Bronze Age stone mould
Bearing three matrices on the separate faces of the mould, one of them unfinished; a possible fourth on the remaining face is unclear due to erosion. It is not certain what the intended products were as no finished artefacts are known that correspond with the matrices. Matrix C (the unfinished of the three) may have possibly been for flat triangular daggers.
