Description: | This artefact is an unidentified copper alloy object possibly from the post-medieval period, between the 18th - 19th Centuries. The artefact is made up of four sections; a cylinder of copper alloy with an iron object wedged in the end (the iron object is held in with two iron rivets), this iron object has snapped off. The cylinder is attached to another cylinder by a copper alloy joint. At the opposite end of the artefact from the iron object there is a collar around the cylinder, above this there is a lug, suggesting that the artefact was attached to something. At the terminal of the artefact there are two prongs, one longer than the other. In the 'V' where the prong meet the copper alloy as been filed and the grooves are still visible.
