Description: | A corroded copper-alloy sword fragment of probable late Bronze Age date. The straight, uniform nature of the top and bottom edges suggests that this piece was deliberately cut from a sword, probably from re-melting.
The piece is roughly rectangular in plan and has an elongated lozenge-shaped section. The surfaces are corroded and on one side there are scratches, which may be deliberate and contemporary.
The object measures 26.3mm wide, 15.9mm high and 5.8mm thick. The weight is 11.14g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
