Description: | A cast copper-alloy tracer awl of probable Bronze Age date. One end of the awl is rectangular in plan and triangular in profile tapering to a rounded point. The opposite end of the awl is cylindrical in form, slightly bent due to post-depositional damage, and tapers to a sharp point. It has a mid green patina that has some pitting in places. The entire object measures 60.72mm in length, 4.77mm in width, 4.30mm in thickness, and weighs 4.73g. This awl is likely to be Bronze Age in date, although the form does not change much through time and similar objects are also noted in the Roman period and possibly later.
