Description: | Middle Bronze Age copper alloy rapier with side-notched butt (for four rivets). The midrib is flattened and the rapier is pointed oval in section with flattened, slightly squared-off sides. It is gently bent in a long S-shape. The patina is mostly intact and reddy-brown in colour. The point is sharp and the edges are a little worn. The butt is slightly damaged. At the shoulders the width is 33mm. They curve sharply inwards and the blade width gently tapers from 18mm to the point. It is c.317mm long and although a little longer, fits with Burgess and Gerloff's Group IV Type Cornacarrow, Plate 91-93. Cf no.737.
