Description: | Two fragments of copper-alloy metal-working debris, of uncertain date. The first is large and roughly square in plan with dimensions of 94.14mm x 79.95mm x 38.52mm and weighing 406g. It has a very rough surface with significant stony inclusions. The second is much smaller and very irregular with dimensions of 37.27mm x 28.95mm x 17.933mm and weighing 52.60g. It is heavier for its size and may have a higher lead content. Both pieces give the impression of being debris from metal-working rather than anything deliberately cast. The date is uncertain with most dates from the Bronze Age onwards a possibility.
