Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy ingot (probably) of probable Bronze Age date.The object is sub-rectangular in plan and has irregular concave sides. Two of the longer edges and one of the shorter edges are evenly bevelled inwards on the upper face. The forth edge, on the upper face, is slightly convex and irregular. From the centre of each longer edge a raised rib extends to the apex. The rear face is flat but curved in side profile. This object has a roughened brown patina, but this has been lost in places where there are patches of mid-green corrosion. A small portion of one of the corners is missing due to a break. The break has a similar patina.56.4 x 45.8 x 20.6mm. Weight: 208.08g.
