A complete Medieval to post-Medieval copper-alloy dagger or sword pommel (c. 1400-c. 1600). This domed pommel is roughly circular in plan and hollow on the underside. The top is proud and square with a rectangular slot at the centre which accommodates part of an iron tang. The slot measures c. 8.0 x 5.0mm. There are four evenly spaced petal-like lobes at the side. From the lobes the sides taper inwards towards the flat plain lip. The underside is coarse with some corrosion and it can be seen that the tang has a fresh break. The outer face is generally green with a small amount o…

A fragment of an Early Bronze Age Arreton Down type copper-alloy dagger or spearhead (c. 1700 BC-c. 1500 BC). This fragment is sub-triangular in plan and roughly lozenge-shaped in cross-section. Both faces have a low central mid-rib flanked on either side by a pair of converging grooves which are barely visible. It is corroded and the breaks at each end are old but not abraded. The sides are uneven due to loss of material. There are traces of a dark green patina.

A fragment of a Medieval copper-alloy dagger guard or quillon (c. 1250-c. 1400). This fragment is slightly less than one half of the object and a break has occurred adjacent to a slot that would have accommodated a blade or tang. It is broadly sub-rectangular in plan, sub-oval in cross-section and curves downwards at the terminal end. The upper and lower surfaces are almost flat and both sides are curved. There is a deep 'V'-shaped recess on the lower surface close to the break. The terminal end is bulbous. The break is crisp but appears to be old. This guard has a dark brown pa…

A complete Medieval cast copper-alloy dagger pommel (c. 1400-c. 1500). This pommel is octagonal in plan, convex at the top and concave on the underside into which the handle would originally have fitted. It is bi-conical as viewed from the side. The top has eight deep evenly spaced grooves radiating from a central hole, thus, forming eight evenly spaced raised triangular features. The sides are decorated with five equally spaced chevrons which have been produced by stamping. The stamp marks are repeated chevrons. This pommel is corroded and bright green with a shiny dark brown p…

Complete cast copper alloy dagger guard (quillon) of probable Early Post-medieval date. Length 78mm, overall width 34mm and 3mm thick. Weight 17.12g. As viewed in plan from the top the arms forming the guard are of an elongated S-shape and are generally sub-rectangular in cross-section. However, they become spatulated and rounded at each end. One of the arms has a slight twist and it is unclear whether this is an intentional feature of the design or damage which occurred during use or following deposition. The inner of the quillon block curves in order to accommodate the aperture…

An incomplete cast copper alloy dagger of the Early Bronze Age (c. 1700-c. 1500 BC). The dagger is a Camerton-Snowshill type. In plan, it has an ogival-shaped outline and a central mid-rib on both faces. In cross-section it is lozenge-shaped. Three parallel grooves either side of the rib follow the ogival outline. The blade was attached to the hilt by means of three large rivets. These are missing and the rivet holes are incomplete due to breaks or possibly corrosion. The base of the hilt was characteristically omega-shaped. Evidence for this can be seen on one face due to the di…
