A cast copper alloy fragment, probably from an edged blade of unknown type. The fragment is 30.90mm long, with a pronounced but narrow lozenge-section midrib. The blade wings are largely complete, although one wing is bent at the cutting edge. The width of the fragment narrows from 34.87mm to 23.89mm towards the tip which is missing. There is no central cavity visible within the midrib, although the terminals of the midribs are partially obscured by soil. The fragment weighs 18.58g. A lightly pitted dark brown patina is visible on a small area of one of the blade wings, but gener…

Description Copper alloy butt and lower blade fragment of a dirk or rapier that fits with fragments Nos. 2, 3 & 4. The blade has a lenticular cross-section and clear central ridge that slightly expands towards the butt. The edges of the blade are chipped and eroded. The broken end is intentionally bent in one direction. It is not possible to assess the age of the break as it is obscured by a white substance, possibly modern adhesive. The surfaces of the fragment have patches of corrosion but the original patina of the blade is still visible across a considerable area. …

A fragment from a bladed object, possibly a rapier of Middle Bronze Age date. The object consists of the abraded blade tip, that tapers to a rounded point. All of the edges have been abraded and broken to a greater or lesser extent. The break is broadly straight. The edges of the blade are bevelled while a central section is flat; the cross-section at the break has the appearance of an elongated hexagon. Where it survives the metal has a dark-brown patina; underlying this it is a corroded mid-green colour. One surface has been iron stained.

Bronze blade tip, probably from a dirk or rapier of uncertain type and probably of Middle to Late Bronze Age date, c. 1500 - 900BC. The dirk is fragmentary and is represented by the tip only (with a surviving length of 53.3mm and a weight of 10.4g). The blade is of lozenge section at the break (where it has a width of 17.2mm and a thickness of 3.6mm) and there is the suggestion of a central rib on one face. One of the blade edges is straight and the other is convex, probably as a result of erosion or wear. There is slight distortion along the length of the fragment. The surface of t…
