Comments | EH Hazleton North: antler series Hazleton North- Antler; this antler was found in the primary fill (context 328/214) of the south quarry, near its western edge (Saville 1990, fig 199) and shows evidence of having been used as a quarrying tool (Saville 1990, fig 201). The fill, 'derived from the weathering of the exposed limestone', apparently was deposited while quarrying was going on (Saville 1990, 23). It is therefore assumed that this antler was used in the quarrying of stone for the construction of the cairn. | |
