Description: | A complete possible ingot of copper alloy metal, of uncertain dating, but probably Roman to Early Medieval (AD 43 to AD 1000).The possible ingot consists of a rectangular sectioned piece of copper alloy metal, with slightly curved and tapered ends.It measures 83.99 mm in length, 10.27 mm wide and 5.83 mm thick. It weighs 22.3 g.The possible ingot is a mid to dark green colour, with an uneven surface patina. The ingot has suffered from a minor degree of abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, resulting in damage to the original surface.Several similar rectangular sectioned pieces of copper alloy metal have been recorded on the PAS database including NMS-8A5083, NMS-8A5083, LIN-A513B2, NMS-515018, HESH-9BC648 and DENO-63EB93, all have been identified as probable ingots for metal working. The identification of this find as a ingot is a possibility but not definite.
