Description: | An incomplete copper alloy artefact of uncertain function and dating, but possibly Bronze Age (2350 BC to 801 BC).The artefact is irregular in shape, and cross section. All edges are incomplete. The surface has been removed from one side. A central ridge is still present on the surviving surface.It measures 22.5 mm in length, 25.2 mm wide and 4.5 mm thick. It weighs 7.4 g.The artefact is mid green to brown in colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface.No definite parallel has been found for this artefact at the time of recording. It is possible that it might be part of a blade, of Bronze Age dating.
