An incomplete cast copper-alloy Medieval spout from a ewer dating c. AD 1300-1500. The spout is cylindrically crescentic in shape with a concave curve to fit against the body of the vessel and has a hollow interior. Part way along the outer edge is the lower section of a broken flat-sectioned openwork bridge that would have been pierced with a trefoil.

Object type: DIRK
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper alloy dirk dating from the Middle Bronze Age, that is c. 1500-1300BC. The dirk is broken into five fragments and two rivets, but it is incomplete: the very tip fragment is missing and could not be recovered after intensive search. It may have never been deposited in the first place or else, possibly disintegrated in the ground. The remaining five blade fragments and two rivets survive in good condition. All breaks are clean and the fragments join. It displays much wear around the shoulder section, but there are two definite rivet holes and two 'cut-out's which probably hel…
