One break is slightly upturned, which suggests the blade may have been bent to break it. In section the blade is an elongated, sub-pointed oval with the edges being slightly chamfered. There is no obvious mid rib on either face. The surface of the blade has a traces of a dark brown patina, otherwise the surface is heavily pitted. It measures 40.5mm long, 17.76mm wide, 2.82mm thick. It weighs 9.76 grams.It is probably a fragment from a sword, dagger or rapier of the Late Bronze Age date.
