The larger, of length 50mm, has sharp edges between three flat surfaces, though appears sheared and melted elsewhere. The smaller fragment, of length 35mm, shows the apparently compressed junction of layers of circa 5mm thickness, and external melting. Dr Kevin Leahy kindly suggests these may be shell splinters, though there is no firm evidence for military activity in the area. Suggested date: Unknown, 40-1800.Combined Weight: 76.15gms.
