Description: | Nine small droplets/lumps of copper alloy metal working debris, or possibly molten metal from a cremation. All have been severly fire damaged and so the objects which they originally comprised cannot be identified. All nine were found together suggesting that they could possibly mark the site of a cremation burial, though this cannot be definately confirmed as no pottery was found associated with them. In total the fragments weigh 22.3g. The maximum weight of individual fragments is 5.6g and the minimum is 0.9g. All nine are highly pitted and erroded. The metal of each fragment varies in colour from mid greenish-brown to mottled green with patches of brown.
