A probable corroded cast copper alloy casting jet or "gate". The object is roughly sub-trapezoidal in plan with a concave reverse and convex, domed top with two sub-rectangular sprue projections near the top. The surfaces are textured with pits from abrasion. This type of object is the result of casting into a mould and represents waste where molten bronze solidifies at the entrance of the mould around the gate and the casting channel/channels. Casting waste is difficult to date, and can potentially be prehistoric to post Medieval. The object may be Bronze Age in d…
