Copper alloy socketed axe-head. Cast copper alloy axe-head with a crescentic cutting edge, a plain body with slightly concave upper and lower sides and a sub-rectangular socket measuring 32.7mm in height and 28.4mm in width [externally]. A single loop of length 23.5mm is set on one side on the mould line at a distance of 9.5mm from the socket. Six triangular-section fragments of pale buff and desiccated wood were presented along with the object together with smaller splinters and dust, with slight evidence of green staining, and are regarded by the finder as relict fragments of a woode…

Sandstone burnt stone.

The use of stones to heat water – for what purpose is the topic of speculation, ranging from cooking to bathing of the better sort – is especially characteristic of the later Bronze Age. Of course, stones could be heated or incorporated into hearths and campfires  and water boiled at any later date as well. Suggested date: possibly Late Bronze Age to Iron Age,…

Copper alloy possible dirk fragment, as kindly suggested by Ed Caswell, who comments: ' I wonder wether this is not closer to a rapier/dirk fragment due to the lozenge shaped cross section and quite straight sides?...'.. Cast lentoid-to-lozenge-shaped-section fragment from a very slightly tapered blade; this might as easily be from a robust dagger as a spearhead [which was the finder's initial suggestion]. Fiercely abraded. Suggested date: Late Bronze Age, 1000-800 BC Length: 29.3mm, Width: 14.6mm, Thickness: 5.3mm, Weight: 10.04gms
