Description: | Two possible droplets of copper alloy. Both are sub-crescentic in profile and one is hollow on the concave surface, the other has a conical indention. The surface of both has a heavy brown patina which is pitted on the convex surface. The first measures 17.35mm long, 8.11mm wide, 8.09mm thick and weighs 3.8g. The second measures 15.25mm long, 6.67mm wide, 5.49mm thick and weighs 1.2g.The date cannot be certain, but the patina may suggest an ancient date, perhaps Bronze Age or Iron Age. Iron Age is perhaps the more likely date considering the other finds found in the area. The droplets may be casting waste.
