Bronze age copper alloy sword fragment, 33mm long, 27mm wide and 4 mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs ?? The object is sub triangular in form and is slighly rhomboid in section. each side tapers inwards slightly and tapers in width to a blade edge. Above this the object has a recessed sub-rectangular protrusion, the lower edges of which are formed by the incomplete circular fixing holes which would have secured the blade to its handle. The size of the object suggests it is a fragment of a Ewart Park phase sword.
