Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy object, probably a portion of the socket-end of a Late Bronze Age socketed axehead, c. 1000-800 BC. The fragment is broken on all edges, but seems to be almost completely intact on the remaining portion of the socket-end, with a slightly thicker outer edge than socket wall. The aperture implied by the fragment is narrow and elongated, suggesting that perhaps this fragment has become misshapen or perhaps it was not fashioned properly. The fragment has an overall medium green colour with some areas of darker green patina. It measures 49.8mm long, 22.1mm wide, 8.3mm thick and weighs 60.05 grams
