<full>A fragment of a Middle Bronze Age sword. Only the tip remains, which judging from the neat linear break across the base, was intentionally cut from the body of the spear in antiquity.





The fragment is triangular in plan with a slightly rounded tip. The body of the fragment is flat, circa 2mm in thickness and tapers according to the cutting edges. The cutting edges are circa 3mm in width and are abraded.</full>
