Description: | A group of Late Bronze Age copper alloy ingots, containing one complete plano-convex or 'bun' shaped ingot, four fragments of plano-convex ingot and two fragments of probable ingot, rectangular in cross-section. All have surfaces pitted, rough and corroding. One fragment has had a recent section cut on one edge.1) 1338g, plano-convex ingot, measuring c.111mm in diameter and 35.95mm in max.height.2) 346g, incomplete plano-convex ingot, just less than half surviving. Measures 89.32mm in length, 53.08mm in width and 26.99mm in height. Original diameter c.90mm.3) 294g, fragment of plano-convex ingot, original diameter uncertain. Measures 69.15x37.22x32.14mm. Recent slice removal gives smooth flat surface.4) 274g, fragment of plano-convex ingot, original diameter uncertain. Measures 63.80x59.62x33.03mm.5) 226g, fragment of plano-convex ingot, original diameter uncertain. Measures 75.49x51.32x30.15mm.6) 542g, fragment oval in cross-section (82.23x32.01mm), measuring 82.23x66.53x32.01mm.7) 280g, fragment with rectangular cross-section, measuring 56.33x42.24x37.64mm.
