Description: | A hooked tag made from sheet bronze 0.5mm thick, in triangular form 27mm long from triangle base to apex, and 15mm wide across the base. There is a large irregular (but roughly rectangular) piercing near the broader end, a transverse hol 6mm wide by 3mm deep. At the pointed end the recurved tip for the metal forming the hook has snapped off. A number of similar hooked tags have been found in the same plce, probably early mediaeval. A piece of sheet bronze found there has scoring in lozenge-shapes, suggesting these cutout hooks were actually made on site.
