Scale: Unknown. A model of a half killick from Portloe, Cornwall (duplicate sent to NMM in 1979) consisting of a single almost flat arm tapering at either end. Two wooden rods are dowelled through the arm enclosing an oval-shaped, slate stone set at right angles to the arms and which has been notched at the top and bottom. The two rods are then lashed together just above the stone continuing all the way up forming a rope lashing with an eye. The stone is also held in place by a single lashing which passes underneath the flat base.
