Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy object, probably Iron Age to Medieval in date. The fragment is sub-triangular in cross-section with breaks at either end. The narrower end seems to have been hammered into a pointed shape and it was originally wider, probably of similar width to the now wider end. It seems that the object has been bent inwards on itself from damage and that the crudely incised double line running the vertical length of its now inner face was once its decorated outer surface. It is possible that this fragment was part of a bracelet or crude brooch and could possibly date from the Iron Age to Roman period. The fragment measure 25.3mm long, 7.5mm wide, 1.44mm thick and it weighs 1.91 grams.
