A cast copper alloy piece of metal working waste. The object is circular in plan and D-shaped in cross-section. The outer domed face is rough and pitted. The internal flat face is covered with ridged striations which appear to have occurred when the object was cut during antiquity. The circular edge of the object is undulating. The object has a light green patina and is probably the result of metal working. It possibly dates to the Bronze Age however due to the un-diagnostic qualities of the object it may have been formed any time from the Bronze Age through to the Post-Medieval period.

The molten copper alloy would have been poured into a mould, and allowed to cool until it was solid. The undulating lower surface represents the formation of air pockets.

This object was originally suggested to be a possible Mount, from furniture or a box of Roman date. Peter Reavill kindly offers an alternative identification of the object as a casting well with runners from an episode of metalworking dating from between Later Prehistory (circa 1500 BC) to the end of the Roman period.
The object was described as follows: Cast oval plano-convex object with a pair of angled lugs projecting from its upper surface. Other surface irregularities may represent further elements of a decorative scheme, though the abraded and knobbly surface …

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.

From the back of the sprue extends a sub-triangular prong, a second corresponding prong now missing due to old breaks.
