11 pieces of copper metal working waste of uncertain date, probably from Bronze Age to Roman. The presence of this material suggests that bronze objects have been manufactured here and possibly broken copper alloy items were being recycled. Sadly no precise findspot was recorded. One piece displays a bright blue deposit whilst the rest are more turqouise. Two pieces (bottom right and one above that) appear to be casting sprues suggesting items were being manufactured on site.
