Horn end

Not enough to atempt an identifacation! but its heavy and has a high natural shine
as ive said before i only ever wash and then buff my bone with a dry cloth.





ancient bone tools

I found these lower leg bones in another local beck not far from Stainton Village,i believe the first
belonged to a large wild horse. It weighs 1 lb and measures 28 mm long, and 60 mm at its widest point.

Boltonmoss hill

 This hill overlooks both Seamer Carr  and Stainton including a section of the Cleveland dyke I believe would have been clearly visible because of the Stainton now beck, but then river deflection, to the north west .

Stainton becks deflection due to the Cleveland ... - history of a beck

This would look amazing to any early people , a massive wall shining with the full force of the south western sun even in winter , the unique crystals of the basaltic andesite would look magical , and there would be no better place to view the basaltic wall than what is now the mapped but unknown Boltonmoss hill .    

 

I have carried out research both locally and on line but the closest reference I have in local records is a mention in the 18th century of bolt mare field in Thornton , this loosely translated means a viewing point for the hill ie whatever was on it to kook at .
