A cast copper alloy casting jet of possible Bronze Age date (2150 BC – 800 BC). Length: 26.7mm; width: 29.9mm and 19.0mm thick. Weight: 32.68g. The object is roughly funnel-shaped and in plan has a flat sub-oval concave head, the surface of which is irregular and pitted. This uneven surface was probably created when the molten metal was solidifying. On the underside there is a pair of sprue elements (feeders). Each feeder is in the form of a long stub which is both turned inwards at the ends. The piece has a mid-dark green patina. It is possible that this casting jet is later than…

A cast copper alloy casting jet of probable Late Bronze Age (1150 BC – 800 BC). Length: 22.1mm; width: 16.7mm and 13.5mm thick. Weight: 11.96g. The object is roughly funnel-shaped and has a flat sub-oval head indented with shallow grooves which largely emanate from the centre. These features were probably created when the molten metal was solidifying. At the centre of the underside there is a single sprue (feeder). The end of the feeder, in the form of an old break, is sub-rectangular in cross-section and as it rises towards the head the shape becomes sub-oval. The piece genera…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy casting jet of probabl Late Bronze Age date (1150 Bc-800 BC). This casting jet has a single runner and an uneven, roughly flat surface, at the top. It is sub-circular in plan with a domed lower part. These jets are commonly the result of socketed axe production in the Late Bronze Age. However, they can also be as late as the post-Medieval period. The object has a green patina that has exfoliated in places. 27.0 x 44.7 x 36.1mm. Weight: 130.74g.

A cast copper alloy casting jet of Late Bronze Age to Modern date (1150 BC – 1900). The object is roughly funnel-shaped and has an irregular shaped head with a rough and uneven surface. At the centre of the underside there is a single sprue (feeder). The end of the feeder, in the form of an old break, is sub-circular in cross-section and as it rises towards the head the shape becomes sub-oval. The piece generally has a rough pitted surface with traces of a mid to dark brown patina. 18.9 x 18.0 x 15.9mm. Weight: 9.06g. It is possible that this casting jet is later than the Bronze Age.

Late Bronze Age to Medieval copper alloy casting sprue, weighing 17.6g. It consists of a rough textured, oval sectioned mouth (23x12mm), which narrows to a D-shaped in section stem (being curved to one face), 16x14x6.75mm. This is snapped at its base and a jagged edge is apparent below. To one side of the main trunk is a flat-sectioned projection of metal, c.15x14x1.51mm, with a torn and jagged edge. The curved side of the object is smooth whereas the other side is rough. Measures 26.91x35.46mm.

A probable Late Bronze Age (1100 BC - 800 BC) fragment of casting sprue, weighing 6.3g. It is oval in cross-section and measures 15.34x10.95 at the wider end, which has a rough surface. The sprue narrows over 14.97mm to an old break 8.64x3.82mm. The sprue forms in the channels of the mould through which molten metal is poured in the process of casting, and which subsequently hardens and is removed. Although the colour of the metal suggests a Bronze Age date, it could conceivably date later.

A large lump of copper, it's rounded appearence suggests it has cooled from molton metal in a crucible or other mould. One side is almost flat, the top is domed and the sides rounded, it may originally have been oval as it appears to have been cut on one face, the cut is now worn. It may have been made on site or have been carried here for metal working. It is difficult to give this item an exact date although study of the composition might help, a date of Bronze Age - post-medieval has thus been given although it is likely to sit within the earlier part of this range. It is 38.8mm l…

Selection of casting waste and metal working debries made of copper alloy including sprues, mis-cast pieces, a large rough cast piece with many air bubbles that may come from a crucible, several solid cast triangular pieces, probably sprues and a rectangular bar marked into sections with incised lines. The pieces may relate to one period of activity or to several periods. None are distinctinve in age although the the bar appears possibly Post Medieval or Modern while the rough cast piece appears possibly older. It was not possible in the time to record all the pieces seperately but th…
