Description: | An unidentified fragment of copper-alloy. The fragment is triangular in shape with a smoothly rounded terminal point. The longest edge of the triangle is 25.89mm, the next edge is 21.95mm long and the shortest along the break is 15.65mm long. The break is not straight but is likely to have occurred in antiquity as it is very smooth and rounded. The upper surface is gently curved and has four parallel diagonal lines of c.4.93mm width. The lower surface is concave but has a flattened boarder around the edge which is c.4.65mm wide. The fragment weighs 6.94g and has an approximate width of 15.43mm. After much discussion with colleagues, the concensus opinion is that the fragment is most likely to be casting waste, unlikely to be of prehistoric date and giving a likely date range of Roman to Post-Medieval, possibly falling more specifically into the Medieval period.
