Description: | Copper alloyPossible Steelyard Arm. Fragment from a cast object of oval section, slightly narrowed at its terminal, and broken at the other end. The lower(?) edge is straight, with a slight upturn at the terminal; the upper(?) edge is indented at the terminal, and then slightly narrowed beyond this, before increasing in width towards the broken end. The identification offered is speculative, and implies a Roman date. This site produces both Roman and Early Medieval finds; however, although superficially resembling an animal snout, the terminal is not adorned by other features to indicate this is anything but fortuitous. Suggested date: Roman, 40-400.Length: 47.5mm, Width (at break): 9.4mm, Thickness: 6.3mm, Weight: 12.23gms.
