Description: | Incomplete cast copper-alloy shouldered awl of probable Bronze Age date. At the probable mid-point there are opposed rectangular projections on both sides forming a collar or stop ridge. One end is broken just beyond the collar and comprises a rectangular-sectioned stump. The other end of the awl is of faceted recatgular section and tapers to a sharp point. The metal has a dark green patina. Surviving length 54mm. Width at shoulders 14mm. Width at springing of both 7mm. 6.5mm thick. Weighs 11.58g. This awl is likely to belong to the Bronze Age, although the form does not change much through time and similar objects are also noted in the Roman period and possibly later.
