Description: | A copper alloy fragment, probably from a blade, Bronze Age in date. The fragment is sub-square in plan, with slightly tapering cutting edges. In section, the fragment is pointed oval shaped, with feint longitudinal ridges on both sides. The cutting edges are slightly incomplete, and thefragment is broken at both ends. The breaks do not appear to be recent. The fragment has a lightly pitted surface with a green patina. The fragment is 22.8mm long, 15.3mm wide, and 4.9mm thick. These are maximum dimensions. The fragment has a mass of 12.7g. The fragment is probably from a blade of an edged weapon or tool of Bronze Age date. However, the majority of the object is missing, which would have the diagnostic features to enable more precise identification and dating.
