Description: | Two cast copper alloy rods dating to either the medieval or post medieval period. Both rods are circular in section, plain and undecorated, the first has evidence of a break at one end, whilst the other end flattens and widens slightly, it measures 41mm in length and weighs 7.48g. The second rod has a break at one end, this end starts iff narrow but then bulges towards the middle and then narrows again to form a point, it measures 45mm in length and weighs 9.36g. These might be scrap bronze rods, or perhaps used for the production of contemporary forgeries of late Roman coins.
