Fragment of a possible Bronze age copper alloy blade, 74mm long and weighing 30.54 grams. The object is missing its upper and lower edges and has some corrosion with a blue/green patina. The upper edge is slightly curved and has a central semi circular recess which was probably a circular hole originally. At this point the object is 30mm wide and when viewed in section it tapers from 4mm thick in the centre to just under 1mm at its edge. The object also tapers in width from about one third of its length down, terminating with a broken edge which is 15mm wide. This end also has a taper…

Copper alloy fragment, 34mm long, 8mm wide and 4mm thick. The object has a bright green patina and weighs 5.50 grams. The object is rectangular in form and triangular in section. The narrow edge is slightly rounded and 1mm thick. The widest edge, 4mm thick, has broken and clearly shows two layers of metal with a small void in between(One side has a small triangular protrusion overlapping the break). This would suggest a blade tip perhaps off a small axe or a chisel?

possible Bronze Age dagger or rapier blade, 45mm long and 21mm wide. The blade has no outer edges left and has a brown surface with green corrosion showing in places. The blade is 2mm thick at the edges which widen to a slight ridge, 3mm in thickness, running down most of its centre (the ridge stops 10mm before the edge at its wider side). This ridge is slightly uneven which suggests that the blade has been hammered.
