Description: | A cast looped palstave of Late Middle Bronze Age with a relatively flat blade. Length 128.1mm, maximum width (at blade end) 42.4mm, maximum thickness (at stop ridge) 31.0mm, weight 323g. The palstave has a square butt with deep pocket. The edges of the flanges are abraded. Decoration on both sides of the blade beneath the curving stop ridge appears to be in the form of a shield combined with a central rib to form a "trident" pattern. Small areas of a patina survive overall. However, the implement is suffering from the effects of bronze disease and is in poor condition.
