Description: | Late Bronze Age (-1000 to -800) bronze sword or rapier fragment : The sword, if that what it is, is fragmentary and comprises the probably base of the hilt and top of the blade. The copper alloy fragment is a sub-oval in plan, with all the edges being broken, but not recently. The blade portion of the hilt has a elongated rounded lozenge, with a slight rib in the centre. The upper portion of the hilt is flattened on both faces. The surface has a well-developed mid grey/green coloured patina which is slightly pitted. It measures 36.3mm long, 25.57mm wide, 4.44mm thick and weighs 13.17g. The fragment is probably a late Bronze Age (-1000 to -800) bronze sword or rapier.
