Description: | An incomplete and worn copper-alloy blade of Bronze Age date, perhaps from a knife, rapier or similar item. The fragment is triangular in form, tapering towards a tip but terminating in old breaks at both ends. It is pointed oval in section and with a slightly flattened mid rib. Both surfaces have extensive corrosion and post-depositional damage resulting in areas of the cutting edge now missing due to old breaks. It measures 64.54mm in length, 15.98mm in width, 4.71mm in thickness and 17.17g in weight. This object is of probable Bronze Age date, c.2550-800 BC.
