Late Bronze Age socketed knife of Thorndon type in good condition. The blade is leaf-shaped, resembling in miniature swords of the period. The blade edge is bevelled on both sides with a slightly concave profile. The socket is oval in section and on the exterior expands at both ends, while the interior is parallel sid...
Thorndon-type socketed knives were first classified by Hodges (1956) and can be broadly dated to the Ewart Park metalworking phase (c.900-800 BC) (Needham et al. 1997). They are often found in Late Bronze Age hoards associated with a variety of material and have a wide distribution across Britain.

Socketed axes of a variety of types are prolific in south Wales as both single and hoarded objects. South Wales axes are the most common, with over 120 examples now known. Examples of both complete and damaged socketed axes in hoards within the National Collection of Wales include St.Mellons, Cardiff (Stanton 1984), Ll...

Most dirks of group II can be confidently ascribed to Acton Park metalworking tradition although occasional examples have been found associated with Taunton phase metalwork (Burgess & Gerloff 1981, p44-45). This example is likely to date from Period 5 (Needham 1996), and was probably produced sometime between 1500 and ...

The axe fragment was found associated with a casting jet for a South Wales axe (NMGW-126833), and the find thus constitutes metalworking hoard. The four runner nature of the jet might indicate the axe fragment was a South Wales axe.

Axes of this type have a predominantly Irish distribution with a concentration in the northern half of the country (Harbison 1969); Harbison notes 846 Irish examples of Type Ballyvalley in his catalogue (ibid).

Dating early palstaves remains problematic, Norhtover (forthcoming) has stated that Group II palstaves belong to the earlier stages of Acton Park (or Acton Park 1), and Needham (1996) argues that no true metalwork assemblage can be defined as Acton Park 1 and groups Acton Park 2 with Taunton in his Period 5 (1500-1150 ...

Small developed flat axe or cast-flanged axe, probably of Class 4E (following Needham forthcoming), corresponding with Schmidt and Burgess' (1981) type Bandon and with Type Derryniggin (Harbison 1969) in Ireland. Axes of these types date towards the end of the Early Bronze Age: Needham's (1996) Period 3 c.1950 - 1700 B...
The axe can be paralleled with a number of similar, but slightly larger axes, found near the findspot (NMGW unpublished records). Within the National Museum of Wales' collections similar examples have been found at Margam, Port Talbot (Savory 1980, No. 122) and Breach Farm, Vale of Glamorgan (Savory 1980, No. 338) asso...

The casting jet was found associated with a ribbed socketed axe blade fragment (NMGWPA 2003.144.1; NMGW-B88605) and is similar in condition and colour to the axe fragment. The four-runner casting technology of the jet may lend further weight to the suggestion that the axe fragment is from a South Wales Type axe. The as...

Complete, but damaged Late Bronze Age plain socketed axe-head. The axe is comparatively long and slender in form.

The mouth-edge surface no longer surv...
The axe is likely to be an early socketed axe, probably of Wilburton type and metalworking tradition, and dating to c. 1100 - 950BC. Mineralised wood deposits were removed from the socket and retained at NMGW.

A collection of 11 assorted broken copper-alloy items and slag. Six of the items appear to be slag from a copper-alloy smelting process. The further five items seem to relate to a copper-alloy vessel of some type, although they do not all appear to have come from a single vessel.
These finds were found close to a polishing stone, fragments of Bronze Age axes, and a worked flint, suggesting that this was an area of fairly intensive Bronze Age activity, probably a manufacturing site.

This item was found in an area which has produced evidence of bronze working, along with some fragments of probable Bronze Age axes, a worked flint, and a linen smoother or polishing stone. It is therefore possible that the activity at this site represents a Bronze Age manufacturing process.

Bronze palstave axe dating to the early Middle Bronze Age, and probably of Taunton or Cemmaes metalworking tradition, Needham et al. (1996) Period 5; c. 1500-1150 BC. The palstave is of an early type and is unlooped, and is also without either a shield pattern or a mid-rib on the blade. The palstave would appear to bel...
The palstave is of particular interest because of the unusual absence of cast decoration on the face, and together with the lack of a loop, possibly suggests an earlier date within the type. The relatively sophisticated form and profile however may hint at a slightly later date. Whilst Low-Flanged palstaves are not unc...
