An incomplete copper ally tanged chisel of Late Bronze Age date, probably of Ewart Park metalworking industry, c. 1000 - 750 BC. All that survives of this chisel is the blade, which is broken where it narrows at the top, just below where it would have formed into the tang. The blade is worn and has a light green, slightly powdery patina to it, which indicated its probably Bronze Age date.

A cast bronze socketed chisel or gouge, dating to the Late Bronze Age (c. 1000-800BC). The chisel has a hollow body which has been cast in two pieces, with the cast lines still visible down either edge. The chisel has a thin flanged blade and a sub-circular socket that extends only 7.74mm down into the body - suggesting that this object has been reworked from a longer gouge. The chisel is in very good condition and has a nice even olive green patina. The chisel is 51.74mm long with the blade measuring 21.92mm wide. The socket is 15.42mm in diameter and the object weighs 17.8gms.
