The Rev. W. C. Lukis found a similar stone (4 1∕4 inches) in a barrow in Brittany. It is now in the British Museum. Another from a dolmen in Lozère[1115] has been thought to be for sharpening the points of bone instruments. Stones of the same form have been found in Germany; two from the cemetery near Monsheim[1116] are preserved in the Museum at Mainz. They are rather more elongated than the English examples. A specimen very like Fig. 185 has been found in Denmark.[1117] They seem also to occur in Hungary.[1118] I have a grooved stone of this kind from the Lago di Varese, Como, where the manufacture of flint arrow-heads was carried on extensively. An object found with polished stone instruments in the cave Casa da Moura, Portugal,[1119] not improbably belongs to this class of grooved sharpening stones. [Illustration: Fig. 186.—Hove. 1∕2] From their association with bronze objects, they appear to belong to the Bronze rather than to the Stone Period; and the same holds good with the more ordinary form of whetstone, of which an example is given in Fig. 186. The original was found in the tumulus at Hove,[1120] near Brighton, which contained the stone axe-head already mentioned, a beautiful amber cup, and a bronze dagger. Another, of compact red sandstone, 3 3∕8 inches long, with the perforated end rounded, was found in a barrow on Bow Hill,[1121] Sussex, and is now in the British Museum. Another, 3 inches long, bluish grey in |269| colour, was found with a bronze dagger and a stone axe-hammer in an urn at Broughton[1122] in Craven, in 1675. Two perforated whetstones were found with a bronze dagger and pin in the Silk Hill Barrow,[1123] Wilts. Another, with the perforation in a sort of loop at the end, was found with two daggers and a crutched pin of bronze, associated with burnt bones in a barrow at Normanton.[1124] Whetstones, in some cases not perforated, have occurred in other Wiltshire barrows, associated with bronze daggers at Wilsford[1125] and Lake,[1126] and with flint daggers or spear-heads at Durrington.[1127] The smooth stone found with a flint dagger in a barrow near Stonehenge,[1128] may also possibly have been a whetstone. Two from barrows at Knowle,[1129] Dorset, and Camerton, Somerset, have been figured by Dr. Thurnam. Another of the same kind was found in a barrow at Tregaseal,[1130] St. Just, Cornwall, and two others with urns at Brane Common,[1131] in the same neighbourhood. Others not perforated are recorded from Cottenham,[1132] Cambs. One from Anglesea[1133] has been figured.
