status: Awaiting validation 
Copper alloy unidentified object fragment. A cast elongated lentoid section object, resembling the blade from a miniature aeroplane propeller, with a point at one end and thickened, twisted and broken at the other, which is also melted. The object narrows in its thickness towards its pointed end, which might point to a function as a blade. Two stamped pits of diameter 1.8mm appear closely juxtaposed on one side of the object, with lesser irregular pitting thereabouts. Suggested date: Post-Medieval to Modern, 1600-1950.
