INGOT
Unique ID: KENT-6DD573
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Published 
The find consists of a small gold ingot of rounded, sub-rectangular shape and roughly plan-convex section; length, 17mm; width, 11mm (max); weight, 8.76 grams. There is a slight, diagonal nick across the narrow end of a hammered, ovoid depression on top, but this appears to have been accidentally caused during working rather than deliberately cut to test the metal.
Notes:
The ingot is undiagnostic and undatable, so does not qualify as Treasure under the stipulated criteria of the Treasure Act.
