Fragment of a copper alloy spear head dating from the Middle to late Bronze Age, about 1550 - 800 BC. The surviving fragment comprises the tip and partial length of blade. Both wings are complete from the tip to approximately half way down the blade. From this point both wings are abraded and damaged. In section the spear is lozenge. It has a narrow blade measuring 44mm in length and 11mm in width. The spear has a dark brown patina with frequent surface pitting. The breaks are very worn and patinated suggesting it broke in antiquity.

A copper alloy awl of possible Bronze Age date. It is 48mm in length. The awl is rectangular in section for two thirds of its length, tapering from 5x4mm to a flat terminal. The opposite end is circular in section and tapers to a point. The awl has a dark brown-red patina often seen on Bronze Age and Iron Age metalwork in the region. A Roman date cannot be excluded, however.

Fragment of a middle to late Bronze Age copper-alloy palstave. Only the butt remains. The fragment is triangular in profile and has a curved butt. The edges extend to form a narrow ledge at the top and bottom. The break exposes two circular indentations that appear to have been caused by air bubbles formed during the casting process. The presence of these indentations may have caused this area of the axe to have been particularly weak, thus causing the break. The break is roughly straight, but irregular enough to suggest it is not an intentional cut.
