Description: | Iron sledge hammer head with remains of wooden handle in situ. The hammer head is octagonal in section with one tapered, pointed end and one flat circular end. The ends are damaged, probably from use (the circular end extensively). The handle socket through the centre of the head is oval. The hammer head is broadest at this part and is waisted before flaring out again to form the circular end. On the surface of one side are a series of small square punch marks, apparently in a rough pattern that appears to read 10B. This type of hammer was used for ironworking.
