Description: | An irregular fragment of an unknown object / artefact of unknown date. The fragment is regular in plan comprising a relatively shallow sub-rectangular plate which is broken at one edge. From the opposite end an integrally cast spike extends at an angle of 90° from the upper plate. This spike tapers along its length terminating in a rounded point. The upper plate has a similarly shaped hollow (U shaped) recess the function of which is unknown due to its fragmentary nature. The artefacts measures 46.3mm length, 17.8mm width, is a maximum of 29.5mm thick (and minimum of 4.4mm), and weighs 24.34 gramsThe artefact is a mid-light green colour with an abraded and laminating patina. Where the metal beneath has been exposed this is a mid brown bronze colour. The patina is relatively thick. The function of the artefact is unknown due to its nature and condition. It is suggested that it has some relative age due to a combination of weight and patina.
