Iron spearhead of Swanton's Series L. Angular blade, probably corrugated, socket split, now truncated, stump 15.0mm diameter. Blade flame-shaped tapering sharply from maximum width. Down one side of the blade is a deep narrow ridge/step which is off-set to one side. The other side of the blade is obscured but it is likely that this bore a corresponding off-set groove and that the blade was corrugated with a Z section. Some recent damage to socket and the tip of the blade which is bent.
