Description: | D shaped fragment of cast copper alloy with one convex curved side and one straight side formed of an old break. It tapers from the broken edge to a slightly rounded point at the curved edge. It measures 32.2mm long, 13.8mm wide, 6.4mm thick and weighs 9.25 grams. It has a pale green patina with areas of rough corrosion which have attacked the surface. Because it is such a small fragment it is hard to identify the original object with certainty. It is possibly part of the blade of a palstave or socketed axe of Middle to Late Bronze Age date but it is unusually small for this interpretation and might have been a miniture version of these axes.
