Description: | A cast copper alloy object, probably a knife handle.The handle may be Roman in date but a later medieval date is also possible. The handle is oval in shape. One terminal has two knobs extending out from it. One has now broken off. The other terminal has a large rounded collar. Inside the collar a shallow hole can be seen. The internal edge of this has had five grooves cut into it, rather like a screw-thread but the rings are not in a spiral. The outer surface of the object has been hammered and therefore has a dented surface. The dents appear in rows. The object is a mid brownish-green colour. An extensive search through the various textbooks and reports could not find a parallel.
