TWO mysterious stones found on Fleetwood beach have been sent for analysis at the University of Central Lancashire, Preston.
The stones went on display at last week’s monthly meeting of the Wyre Archaeology Group at Farmer Parrs, Fleetwood.
Ken Emery, group secretary, said: “We had a good turn-out of 20 people and the stones were a big talking point. The general consensus was that they were net weights for fishing, but it was hard to determine their age.
“Most of us thought they could have been anything from Medieval to the 20th century.”
On the night it transpired that another local man had found similar stones on Fleetwood beach.
The Fleetwood photographer who brought the stones to the meeting said: “I’m glad that the stones have created so much interest.”
The group meets at Farmer Parrs on the third Wednesday of each month at 7pm.
