A short section of the object and tip survive intact, the socket end and the blades to both sides now incomplete due to old breaks. It has a circular mid-rib with hollow socket that does not extend to the tip of the object. The mid-rib tapers to the pointed tip of the object and to either side are the remains of incomplete, flat blades. The surfaces of hte object have signs of extensive post-depositional wear and some corrosion. It measures 60.17mm in length, 11.74mm in width, 9.56mm in maximum diameter at socket, and weighs 14.05g. This is probably the tip from a spear head or arrowhead of Middle to Late Bronze Age date, c.1500-800 BC.
