A fragment of an ingot or, perhaps more likely, an incomplete piece of goldwork from the production process. Half of the fragment has been hammered into a bar with a relatively regular square cross-section. The end appears to have been cut. The remainder of the fragment has not been as highly worked and is a relatively irregular sub-rectangular shape that tapers away to a thinner cross-section. It is not clear whether this end has been cut or whether it has broken. The more highly worked end of the fragment can be compared with a fragment with rectangular profile from Chalvington w…

A Late Bronze Age copper plano-convex ingot edge fragment. This fragment of ingot is sub rectangular in plan, with one distinctly curved edge, and is sub triangular in section. When complete the ingot would have been ‘bun-shaped’, having a domed upper surface and a flat lower surface. The ingot now measures 52.54mm long, 30.64mm wide, 23.74mm thick and weighs 100.67g. The surfaces of the ingot are abraded and pitted. It is mostly bright green in colour which indicates its high copper content. Copper ingot fragments are common in hoards of the Ewart Park phase of the late Bronze Age…

A Late Bronze Age copper plano-convex ingot edge fragment. This fragment of ingot is subtriangular in plan, with one slightly curved edge, and is plano-convex in section. When complete the ingot would have been ‘bun-shaped’, having a domed upper surface and a flat lower surface. The ingot now measures 77.44mm long, 71.18mm wide, 29.04mm thick and weighs in excess of 235g. The surface of the ingot is abraded and pitted. Original surface survives in patches of dark green, but exposed surfaces are also mid and light green. Copper ingot fragments are common in hoards of the Ewart Park …

When complete the ingot would have been ‘bun-shaped’, having a domed upper surface and a flat lower surface. Enough of the curved edge survives to indicate that the ingot would have had a diameter in the region of 90mm. The ingot now measures 72.56mm long, 61.34mm wide, 21.1mm thick and weighs 315g. The surfaces of the ingot are abraded and pitted. It is mostly mid-brown in colour with significant patches of …

A fragment of cast copper-alloy ingot. This fragment is plano-convex in cross section, 69 mm in length, 43mm wide and 16mm thick and weighs 120gms. The flat upper face is rough with a surface marked by bubble eruptions and swirling patterns caused by the cooling of the molten metal. The convex lower face is uneven, roughly pitted and porous, with innumerable pin-prick bubbles and with a number of small concave depressions. The broken edges are rough and slightly worn. The surviving original edge has a rounded profile that in plan view represents approximately one third of a whole circ…
