A fragment from just above the tip of a Middle Bronze Age copper-alloy rapier-like blade. The fragment has multiple scratches and there is some post depositional pitting. The blade has a rounded platform which merges into slightly concave blade edges. Such fragments are difficult to date stylistically - although the deliberately thickened point which was designed for thrusting is typical of short knives and rapiers of this Middle Bronze Age period.
