Description: | Two incomplete iron corroded knife blades, which may have originally be part of the same blade, however, the break is now corroded and so no longer joins together. Iron knife blades are very difficult to date without a context these examples could therefore be early medieval to post medieval in date.1: The first incomplete blade has a rectangular tapering solid tang which flares into the start of the blade, the blade has a straight back and a convex cutting egde, the blade becomes thinner towards the cutting edge. This blade and tang measure 87.3mm in length, the tnag is c9mm in width and the blade 22.8mm in width.2: The second fragment is of the other half of the blade tapering to a missing tip, again the back edge is more or less straight, although it is beginning to curve downwards very slightly towards the missing tip. The cutting edge is convex and thinner than the back edge. This fragment measures 83.8mm in length and 21.5mm in width.
