Title
Medieval stone column fragment
Description
English: A fragment of an ornamental stone column, probably from a medieval ecclesiastical building. There are no records of such a building from near this site and its prescence (along with that of a second fragment - see BH-6D3D05) is therefore of potential siginificance.

The piece is cylindrical in form and measures 128mm high, by 91.3mm in diameter. The outer face shows several tool marks from a narrow-toothed tool and has three projecting knobs, which are charcteristic of this ragged staff form of column. The (?)top edge is flat and, apart from slight damage, is in its orginal state; the (?)bottom edge of the column is irregular and indicates that this is only part of a larger piece.

The stone, which is fine-grained and creamy-white in colour, is probably a carboniferous limestone and has certainly been imported into the area, possibly from Dorset.

The piece weighs 1.582kg.
