Description: | An incomplete iron knife of probable Post-Medieval date. Part of the triangular tang survives intact, but is heavily corroded and missing much of its extremities. The tang is separated from the remains of the integrally cast blade by an oval shaped copper-alloy collar that is rectangular in profile and would have served as a stop for the now missing handle. The blade itself is mostly incomplete, but what does survive is rectangular in profile and triangular in section, narrowing to the blade edge of the knife and with a flat back. This fragment measures 52.10mm in length, 16.72mm in height/width, 8.83mm in thickness, and weighs 9.57g. The precise date of this knife is uncertain, however the copper-alloy collar suggests a probable later Medieval to Post-Medieval, although an earlier or later date cannot immediately be ruled out.
