Description: | An incomplete socketed copper-alloy hammer of late Bronze Age date. The object is hollow, rectangular in section, and widens out from 20.3mm wide by 16.7mm deep at the attachment end, to 24mm wide by 17.4mm deep at the bottom. The object has been cast in a two-piece mould and has a casting scar along its two narrower sides. On the two wider sides there is a small step upwards towards the damaged socket end. The hammer face is sub-rectangular and is heavily worn on one side. The object is slightly corroded. It measures 41.3mm long and weighs 81.67g. A similar but longer example was found as part of a hoard in Kilnhurst, Yorkshire (C.Burgess, 1968).
