Description: | A bronze spearhead tip probably middle Bronze Age in date, c1500-1100 BC. Measuring 48mm in length, 26.5mm in width and 11mm in thickness. The tip has a pronounced midrib of rounded lozenge shaped cross-section. The end of the socket just survives at the break, which is ancient. There is a slight edge bevel surviving. There is some slight pocking resulting from invasive corrosion though the surface is genreally in good condition with a dark green patina. There are some hammer marks and longitudinal abrasion marks on the blade surfcaes.The pronounced lozenegs shaped section of the mid rib suggests a middle Bronze Age date and that this spearhead is likely to be a side-looped or basal looped form.
