Whetstone, High Kelton Farm, Camp Hill, Trohoughton
High Kelton Farm, Camp Hill, Trohoughton
Found by a Major General Scott-Elliot in 1960 at Camp Hill,
Trohoughton, this whetstone is a typical example of the
type. Whetstones, made of stone, were used for the sharpening
of knives. Fine grained with a long rectangular shape, with one
complete long side lost (exposing a rough fractured surface) this
whetstone has softly rounded edges and ends.
This whetstone was found at Camphill, a hill fort defended by
two stone faced ramparts and steep ditches. When it was excavated
in 1960 the remains of timber buildings were found inside the
ramparts.
