Title
Medieval worked stone fragment
Description
English: An incomplete stone capital, probably from a medieval ecclesiastical building. This piece, as well as an associated fragment of stonework (see BH-6CEE62), are significant in that they were found in an area which is lacking a major ecclesiastical building.

The base of this piece is flat and roughly semi-circular in plan. The width of the piece extends towards the damaged top edge. There is damage to the bottom left and top right hand corners (as you look at it) and also to the back of the piece. The curved outer face has numerous vertical marks from a narrow-toothed tool similar to that used in the production of BH-6CEE62, but slightly larger. As with BH-6CEE62, the stone appears to be a fine-grained, creamy-white carboniferous limestone: it it certainly not a local type and has been imported from some distance away.

The piece proved to be in excess of 3kg and could therefore not be weighed. The true weight is probably between 5 and 10kg. It measures 265mm wide, by 215mm deep and 207mm high.
