Copper-alloy fragment, probably from a tracer or awl, consisting of a rod with a slightly expanded junction between square- and rectangular-section shafts. Both ends are missing (old breaks) and the object is bent in both directions. Medium or dark grey to brown patina, with small patches of pale green invasive corrosion. There are good parallels among complete Bronze Age tracers/awls, but without the ends surviving the identification cannot be certain. Surviving length 61 mm.
