Description: | Description: A probable silver early medieval or Viking Age ingot. Roughly triangular in section and rectangular in plan, incomplete at one end which is tapering. Two faces have evidence of diagonal marks, which appear to have been made by a file. One terminal narrows and is incomplete due to an old break and the other is rounded with a flattened end. Dimensions: 33.75mm in length and 7.11mm in width, 4.71mm in thickness, 5.61g in weight. Discussion: This probable ingot is similar in shape to a larger narrow ingot of Late Saxon/Anglo-Scandinavian datefound in Hindringham, Norfolk (2003 T14), (Treasure Annual Report 2003,84).
