Description: | A cast copper alloy tool, possibly a wedge or punch, of unknown date, possibly Roman or Medieval. The artefact is formed from a sub-rectangular bar, one end has been hammered to form a wedge, and this part is distorted. The worked edge has not been sharpened. There is no decoration present. The worked edge measures 15mm in width and is 4mm thick. The opposite end is rectangular in cross-section and is worn. It measures 11mm in width and is 7.5mm thick.The bar is a mid-green patina which is corroded in places. Due to the functional nature of the tool it's form has changed little over time and it is therefore difficult to date precisely.
