Object type: PALSTAVE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Pembrokeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Medial fragment from a Bronze Age copper alloy palstave. The fragment has broken in antiquity and has a surviving length of 74.6mm and weighs 139.8g. The fragment encompasses the upper end of the blade, the stop and the majority of the septum. The septum has a surviving length of 45mm and is broken at an angle. It is possible that the position at the end of the septum is the butt of the palstave, although this can not be demonstrated. The septum is comparatively flat and has a thickness of 6-7mm. Both of the sides are straight for the length of the fragment. The flanges are eroded,…

At the head of the loop is an irregular malformed trumpet moulding on one side only, but appears to be conjoined to the other side of the loop at the top, and may be miscast. It is likely that the bridle link and ring were cast onto eac…

Object type: PALSTAVE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Conwy
Workflow stage: Published
Late Bronze Age copper alloy palstave, probably of Type Guilsfield. The palstave is complete and has an overall length of 141.0mm and is comparatively heavy at 483.7g, implying a heavily-leaded bronze. The butt has a width of 24.7mm and is irregular, appearing to have suffered from casting problems with the bronze at the surface appearing to be porous, there is also some hollowing on both sides of the septum adjacent to the butt. This damage may be a result of insufficient bronze when casting. The butt was likely to have been straight and angled slightly towards the unlooped side. …
