Description: | A possible awl made from copper alloy and now bent into a U shape. One end is circular in section and tapers to a point. The centre of the shaft is still circular in section but thicker at a maximum, 3.2mm diameter. The other end of the object tapers to a rectangular sectioned wedge. The whole tool is only about 45mm long (if straightened), making it highly likely that it was hafted, one end being a tang. The metal has a thin light brown patina. Compare SF6808. Awls were made from the Bronze Age onwards, but the patina and regularity of this example may suggest a much later date, perhaps Post Medieval.
