A possible copper alloy Awl of uncertain date. The Awl tapers from the blunt end at 3.5mm to a fine point at 1.3mm and is formed square although it does have a slight twist in its length. It has a bend, possibly meant in its construction along two thirds of its length. Similar to other awls on this site. The find has been given a wide date, but the square section of the awl suggests a probable later date.
