Description: | A Middle Bronze Age copper alloy spearhead tip. It is triangular with a lozenge-shaped section, and solid with no trace of a socket visible at the broken terminal. The edges are damaged with no original wing edges surviving. The tip is blunt and bent probably through use. All the breaks and damage appear to be ancient, and there are patches of corrosion on the edges, and dark brown patination overal. The spearhead tip measures 24.32mm in surviving length and 17.81mm in surviving length at the incomplete edge where it is 8.63mm thick. It tapers to 4mm in thickness at the tip and weighs 7.6g. A Middle Bronze Age date is probable, although it may be a slightly earlier or later.
