An unidentified object comprising a solid bar of iron or steel, hollow at one end or affixed to the, apparently shaped, remains of a section of pipe. There is a patch of brass visible welded on to this end of the bar and at the other are concretions of material, either rust or, perhaps more likely, mineralised wood.
Notes:
Suggested interpretations include a section of garden fence, musket, and a driving spike for making postholes.
Mark Redknap and Mark Lodwick of National Museum of Wales suggest it is probably a component from a piece of agricultural machinery such as a traction engine.
