Length 44.2mm, maximum width across the blade, 31.0mm and maximum thickness 16.8mm. Weight 46.11g.
This fragment is the lower part of the blade of a socketed axe. From an old and abraded irregular break the sides flare outwards slightly (as viewed in plan) towards the cutting edge. At the top of the fragment the width is about 26.0mm and the maximum width of the blade at the bottom is 31.0mm. The blade does not flare sufficiently to form prominent blade tips. The cutting edge is slightly and evenly curved in plan. The blade is V-shaped, as viewed from the sides. At the break the socket is rectangular with rounded corners (as viewed from above) and measures approximately 20.0mm x 11.0mm. The longer inside faces of the socket taper inwards towards the rounded bottom of the socket. One of the sides has a longitudinal casting seam and this appears to have been reduced by fettling. The blade is damaged and chipped and this damage appears to be old. There is no evidence to suggest that the blade has been re-sharpened.
The fragment is severely corroded and in poor condition, although some mid to dark green patina has survived on all the outer surfaces. The faces of the socket have a patchy mid-green patina.
A brief description of the development of palstaves and axes of the Bronze Age period is given in Savory, H. N. 1980, pages 43-49.

A similar, but larger example, is illustrated by A. Macgregor (1987; pp. 110; no. 11.72), who states that knives cut from larger pieces are relatively common in this period. In this case, however, there is no evidence to suggest that the implement has been formed from a larger object.
The unusually small implement has a tang which is slightly narrower than the blade. At the centre of the broken top edge is a remnant of a rivet hole. The blade is sub-triangular in plan, the sides taper gradually towards the rounded point and the cutting edges are slightly convex. A central vertical ridge extends from approximately one third of the way down the blade to just short of the point. The edges show no signs of having been sharpened.
The implement measures 46.8mm long, 16.5mm wide and 2.2mm thick.

The jet is derived from casting in bronze. The jet is oval in plan, slightly concave on its upper surface and convex on its underside representing the depression in the clay or other mould material which was filled with molten metal. Projecting from the convex underside is an irregularly shaped runner. The runner is roughly oval in plan with a clean, slightly curved terminal. The surface of the terminal is much smoother than the rest of the object, suggesting that it was cut at this point to detach the runner from the freshly cast object. There is possibly the remains of another runner, represented now but just a slight oval bump on the underside next to the existing runner. The jet has an uneven, irregular surface with an even mid-green-brown patina.

The single twisted cord is more unusual on beakers, which are often comb impressed, but locally it is part of a tradition that continues throughout the Bronze Age, and is commonly seen on Trevisker ware.
The fabric is a uniform light orange throughout with a slightly reduced interior surface and is likely to be made of gabbroic clay from the Lizard as it has light felspar, dark augite and quartzite inclusions.
Beaker period c.2500-1700 cal BC, but current dating for Beakers from Cornwall is c.2100-1700 cal BC (Andy Jones pers comm).
Clarke (1970) illustrates a similar example on page 319, No.316 which has been imported from Germany.

The blade has a curved cutting edge, which shows signs of damage. The blade appears to be plain, with no ridges present, however the surface is beginning to corrode which may have obscured some details. The prominent flanged edges are damaged towards the butt end. The flange continues along the blade edges beyond the stop. The flanges curve inwards towards the septum. There is an incomplete loop protruding from one side of the palstave, located above the stop towards the butt end. Approximately one third of the loop is missing. The loop is semi-circular with a central oval perforation. The surface of the plastave is corroded, with patches of a dark olive green patina showing through the corroded layer. The butt end and the septum are highly damaged, and the upper surface of the metal has been removed. The profile and cross section of this plastave is unknown. The palstave is 130mm long, 35mm thick.

Hollow based arrow heads, although present in the early Bronze Age (circa 2500-1500 BC) contexts are rare in East Anglia. Ay other example as large as this has not to date been found in East ANglia and Dr Pendleton strongly suspects that it is Irish (or possibly European or even American Indian) in origin, Irish examples are larger e.g. examples from Carrowduff, County Clare, Ireland National Museum of Ireland, 1930: 227 web site). In view of its likely importation into a region naturally rich in its own flint and arrowhead resources this specimen is an important discovery. Although ther is a possiblity that it was re-deposited in the 19th-20th century when there were numerous troops in the area.

The hammer survives in two fragments.
Small butt end fragment: 83g. Length: 35.6mm, Width: 24.9mm, Thickness: 19.9mm.
Large socketed end fragment: 152g. Length: 61.01mm, Width of socket: 29.2mm, Thickness of socket: 26.3mm. Internal socket = 15.6mm x 15.9mm. 36mm = socket depth.
Socketed hammers are relatively rare finds, but are known from both middle and late Bronze Age contexts. This hammer was found as a single find. They are likely to be metal workers tools.
The hammer has a rectangular section, with a socket which is 36mm deep. The mouth of the socket is sub-rectangular. The mouth has a wide undecorated mouth moulding. Below this moulding and around the butt end of the hammer, there is a series of raised bindings. It is possible therefore that this object was made in a wooden mould, which was bound with twine and it is the twine that we are seeing in high relief.
The edges of the hammer are slightly curved, but rectangular in shape, no casting lines are evident but some mis-cast marks are still evident indicating that this hammer was never finished to a high level.
The hammer tapers slightly inwards to the butt end, which is rounded, but badly damaged and corroded.
The object has broken about two-thirds of the way along the length. The break is badly worn and corroded but appears to have been a relatively recent break rather than from antiquity.
The surface of the body of the hammer is quite corroded and although it retains much of its patina there are small patches of green corrosive product. The metal has a high tin contain – giving it a silvery appearance.

Length 39.2mm, width 23.2mm and 9.1mm thick. Weight 21.32g.
The fragment is part of the mouth and a small part of one face. The mouth is double-moulded. On the inside of the mouth there is a slight over-hang. The surviving part of the body has two vertical ribs on the face. One rib is clearly visible but only the top of the other rib has survived near the old break which forms the right hand edge (as viewed from the front). From the position of these two ribs, it can be estimated that there were originally three ribs.
The surfaces are rough and pitted and are mainly covered with a mid to dark-brown patina. The inner face is less shiny than the outer face and is more noticeably pitted. The old breaks are patinated in the same manner.
From its type of mouth moulding and the ribbed face this implement can probably be classified as a class B4 & 5 axehead of the Ewart Park phase of metalwork. The distribution of the Ewart Phase metalwork extends to the Midlands, central-southern England, eastern England and the north.

Length 32.1, width 33.2mm and 10.6mm thick. Weight 35.84g.
The fragment is the lower part of the blade and the cutting edge. The base of the socket is visible along the old break where the metal is smooth and well patinated. Viewed in plan, the cutting edge is slightly and evenly curved with old damage along its edge. In profile, one side is slightly convex and the other side is slightly concave. Viewed from the side it is deeply V-shaped.
The fragment is corroded but in a stable condition and has a patchy mid-brown patina.

Part of a copper-alloy ingot, probably dating from the Bronze Age.
The piece is irregular in plan and has uneven surfaces. The breaks are well worn and patinated, suggesting that the fragmentation occurred in antiquity. This is probably part of a plano-convex ingot.
