An incomplete copper alloy, probable dagger chape, dating to the Medieval period, between AD 1200 - 1500. The chape is sub-triangular in plan and oval in section. There is a pierced central core at the base of the chape. No join is apparent, so it is likely that the artefact was cast and then the core added.
