Description: | A samll fragment of copper alloy casting waste. Iregular shape. A small area on one side is a reddish-brown colour. Copper alloy of this colour is often associated with the alloys used in post-medeival metal working. Some finds from this area have suggested that the mending or manufacture of cast copper alloy vessels was taking place in the late medieval to post-medieval period. However, as casting waste alone is difficult to date, and so only a broad date of Bronze Age to post-medieval can be assigned in this case.
