Description: | A fragment from a bladed object, possibly a rapier of Middle Bronze Age date. The object consists of the abraded blade tip, that tapers to a rounded point. All of the edges have been abraded and broken to a greater or lesser extent. The break is broadly straight. The edges of the blade are bevelled while a central section is flat; the cross-section at the break has the appearance of an elongated hexagon. Where it survives the metal has a dark-brown patina; underlying this it is a corroded mid-green colour. One surface has been iron stained.
