Description: | An incomplete iron tang-knife, possibly dating from the Roman period. Length: 75.9mm; width: 16.2mm; thickness: 3.2mm. Mass: 10.2g. The back of the knife drops at the end to join the cutting edge at the tip. The cutting edge is incomplete. The blade has a triangular cross-section. The knife has a short tapering tang which may be broken at the end. The corroded surface of the knife has been removed by the finder. The knife has a similar form to Manning's Type 14 Romano-British knife (see Manning, 1985, "Catalogue of the Romano-British Iron Tools, Fittings and Weapons in the British Museum, p.115).
