It is of an elongated ovate shape with a curved profile and raised rim to the lower aspect. A rectangular aperture is present at the centre, through which the blade would have slotted into the grip. The surfaces appear undecorated. Faint traces of white metal coating survive on the exterior face.

An incomplete copper-alloy probably Medieval sword or dagger pommel, dating to AD 1200-1450. It is globular in shape, but is heavy damaged and squashed on two opposite sides so it appears like a hollow dome with an oval perforation at one end. The surfaces are abraded.

A copper-alloy Medieval dagger guard or quillon dating to AD 1200-1450. It consists of a curved sub-rectangular bar, which ends in two faceted knobs. The centre of the bar slightly expands and bears a rectangular hole to accommodate the missing blade. The inner walls of the hole are angled, determining a wider aperture on the concave side of the guard. Where the arms meet the central expansion there are two shallow transverse steps on each side of the quillon.
Cf WILT-8DA07D. A very similar example NLM-45CF28 has been dated to the Post Medieval Period (AD 1500-1650).

An incomplete cast copper-alloy tanged dagger or knife dating to the Wilburton or Ewart Park phases of the Late Bronze Age, c. 1000-850 BC. Most of the tang and upper portion of the double-edged blade survive, with the remainder of the blade being broken away in an irregular truncation of old damage. The tang itself is sub-rectangular in section, while the blade is broadly lenticular- with the upper sections of two convergent ribs visible on both sides.

A complete cast copper-alloy dagger pommel of probable Late Medieval or Early Post-Medieval date, c. 1450-1550. It is broadly circular in plan and sub-biconical when viewed in profile, with a rounded upper surface and flattened hexagonal base. The pommel is hollow (though now clogged with the corroded remnants of the iron dagger tank), its sloping upper surface divided into seven segments by the presence of seven grooves that radiate from the small circular aperture on the upper face of the pommel. Each segment itself is further decorated with numerous small incised lines. The base of…
