Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy socketed spearhead, dating from the Late Bronze Age between c. 1150 - c. 800 BC (length: 38mm; width: 14.5mm; thickness: 8mm; weight: 9.7g).The sub-triangular tip of the socketed spearhead is all that remains of this spearhead, which is lozenge-shaped in section. There is the corroded and worn remains of a central midrib running down the artefact's length to either side, as well as slightly incomplete bevelled or ridged blade edges to the left and right on both sides. The hollow open socket is still visible although the artefact is now completely full of earth. The spearhead terminates in a pointed and corroded tip. Overall, the spearhead is in a worn and corroded condition, although some areas of dark green patina remain.
