Description: | Cast cu-allow arrow head, possibly Early Iron Age. Tip and most of the socket broken off, wings and midrib damaged, but complete. The midrib is unusual in so far that it is square-sectioned (BA midribs of spearhads or arrowheads always have a circular cross-section), but it is most certainly prehistoric since from about 600/500Bc onwards spearheads and arrowheads were no longer made from bronze, but usually iron.
However, there is no parallel from the Early Iron Age for an item like this and thus it is quite possible that it is from a later period after all (ie. Roman or Early Medieval). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
