Description: | Iron Age, Roman or Post Medieval (1st century BC to 4th century or 16th to 17th century) unidentified object: The artefact is a sub-drop with straight sides meeting at the tip. There is a horizontal slot running through the upper half of the artefact which has obliquely angled sides. There is also an oval perforation running vertical through the artefact. The surface of the artefact has a well-developed, but incomplete mottled brown patina. It measures 21.37mm long, 17.22mm wide, 13.14mm thick and weighs 12.35g.The artefact is similar to a pommel or a knife cap, but close comparisons could not be found. The patina suggests an older date, such as late Iron Age to Roman rather than the Post Medieval period.
