The object appears to be the tip of a Bronze Age spear head. It has been made from cast copper alloy.
In plan it is an elongated triangular shape, with a blunt tip. In profile it has a lozenge shaped section with two of the opposite corners being rounded. The break is not recent. Where the spear head is broken there is a slight concave area, which is where the socket of the spear presumably terminated.
The object has a well developed mid green patina. It weighs 7.19g, and measures 29.6mm long, 14.6mm wide and 7mm thick.

Blade-end fragment from a Bronze Age axehead of uncertain type and date. The axe is represented by the end of the blade only and no evidence survives on the broken section for the bottom of a socket. The blade edge and the blade tips have also been lost. The sides of the axe are diverging, possibly resulting in a recurved blade edge. The faces are slightly convex, resulting in an oval section. The axe would have been comparatively slender, probably suggesting the fragment was from a palstave or socketed axe.

Two co-joining blade fragments from a sword of Bronze Age date. None of the diagnostic features are present on the blade fragments, but the sword is likely to be a Ewart Park type sword of the Ewart Park metalworking tradition, c. 950 - 750BC. The sword blade is leaf-shaped and is widest at the centre of the fragment. The combined fragments (c. 300mm) probably represent a little over three quarters of the original blade length and approximately half the original length of the sword. The blade has a low lozenge shaped section, with a rounded mid-section and slightly concave outer section. The blade edges have been lost, but the start of the bevel is discernible in areas. The blade appears to have been bent prior to breaking, as evidenced by visible metal stress on the inside of the bend either side of the fracture. The sword bent by an angle of approximately 25 degrees before breaking. The bending has also resulted in both fragments being curved along their length. The sword was probably bent and broken prior to its deposition. One of the ends (probably the tip end) has deep parallel striations running along the blade on the mid section, which are also likely to have occurred in antiquity. The blade has a dark green patina, with small areas of surface loss. The fragments' length is 170mm hilt end and 132.5mm tip end. Its surviving width closest to the hilt is 26mm and its surviving width closest to tip is 23mm. The fragments' maximum width is 33.5mm. The thickness at the hilt end is 8.5mm and the thickness at the tip end (i.e. the minimum thickness) is 6.8mm. The overall maximum thickness is 8.8mm and the thickness at the break is 8.1mm. The blade fragments weigh 205 grams and 148.2 grams, hilt end and tip end respectively.

Large complete pegged spearhead of Late Bronze age date of Blackmoor or Ewart Park metalwork tradition, corresponding with the end of Needham's (1996) Period 6 to Period 7 and dated to c. 1000 - 750BC. The socket is gently convex below the blade, giving it the impression of bowing-out. The base of the socket is circular to the position of the circular peg holes (6mm diameter), positioned 40mm from the end. Above the peg holes, side and face ridges develop, giving the socket a sub-square profile. The side ridges run into the beginning of the blade and the face ridges develop into a pointed midrib, which continues to the tip. The blade is flame-shaped and comparatively slender. The blade is solid and the faces are very gently concave. The blade edge is stepped and survives along most of the length. The spearhead is in very good condition with crisp features. The casting seams have been removed and are not visible. The spearhead measures 287mm in length. The maximum external diameter of the socket base is 29.1-30.0mm. The maximum blade width is 52.0mm. The spearhead weighs 337.2 grams.
|
This spearhead can be classed as Davis' (2015) Type 11A Generic, Flame-shaped. Group 11 spearheads have a broad chronology, beginning in the Penard metalworking phase of the later Middle Bronze Age (1275-1120 BC), but continuing to the end of the Late Bronze Age. Their main currency was in the Blackmoor-Ewart Park phases though (c.1000-800 BC) (Needham et al. 1997).

This fragment of an artefact appears to be the tip of a chisel, gouge or similar tool. It is copper-alloy and measures 21 mm wide at what remains of the blade tip, and 9 mm in length. It is difficult to gauge the original length of the blade tip as it is broken at one side, and it is also broken along its length. The fragment is 4 mm thick at its thickest, tapering to 0.5 mm at the tip. It is possible that this object represents the remains of a Bronze Age tool, but not enough of it remains to date it with any certainty based on a stylistic argument.

Bronze Age tanged and collared chisel fragment, likely to be of Late Bronze Age date. The chisel is represented by the blade, collar, and the beginning of the tang and has a surviving length of 44.7mm. The tang has broken just above the collar, which survives as a low transverse ridge on each face and is more projecting on the sides. The collar has a surviving width of 8.7mm, but is very worn. The thickness at this point is 6.2mm. The blade is crinoline in plan with a gently curved cutting edge of 16.6mm width. Much of the original surface has been lost and the chisel is eroded.
|
Tanged and collared chisels typically date from the Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age (Llyn Fawr period). An example dating to the Wilburton/Wallington phase is known from Doncaster, Yorkshire (Burgess 1968, 19, fig 7,2; Burgess, Coombs and Davies, 1972, 217), though the main currency is during the Ewart Park phase (c.900-700 BC) into the subsequent Llyn Fawr period (c.700-600 BC).
The crinoline shape of the blade is quite unusual and reminiscent of some Middle Bronze Age palstave forms, though is less well-known from later contexts. Additionally, later collars are typically more prominent. This may suggest this is an earlier form of tanged and collared chisel.
Tanged and collared chisels have a broad distribution across northern France, Britain and Ireland (see Coffyn et al. 1981, 202-203, Carte 7), though there are relatively few examples from western England and Wales. A very similar example with a thick collar and triangular blade can be seen in the large Ewart Park phase Nottingham Hill hoard, Gloucestershire (Gingell 1974, 308, fig 4,22), as well as a single find from Leigh Woods, Bristol (MacGregor 1987, 109, 11.65). Another example was found at Brogyntyn, Shropshire (Savory 1980, No 288.3) associated with a socketed gouge and a fragmentary Hallstatt 'C' sword.

An incomplete cast copper alloy socketed spearhead tip with evidence of a long slender leaf shaped blade (length: 46.8mm; width: 15.2mm; thickness: 7.6mm; weight: 10.53g), dating to the Bronze Age between 2200-c.900 BC. There is a highly pronounced rib running up the centre of the fragment on either side illustration the continuation of the socket, forming a central square-sectioned profile with the wings to either side as well. The overall condition of the artefact is worn, corroded, and in a poor condition. Very little of the original patina remains, which is dark green in colour. The end of the tip is very narrow and pointed. The irregular break at is an old one.
Two similar examples displaying the slender blade are illustrated in Watson's 'Catalogue of british and European Prehistoric Metalwork in Birmingham City Museums', 1993, BAR British Series 233, page 21, ref nos 245-6, found in Spain (no exact provenance) and page 25, ref no 324, found in Neuchatel, Switzerland.

Flat Axehead
|
Bronze Age
|
Bronze Age
|
BRONZE AGE
| -1,950
| -1,750
|
Bronze developed flat axe (or flanged axe), probably of Type Glenalla (following Schmidt and Burgess 1981) or Class 4 (following Needham 1983; forthcoming) and dating to the Early Bronze Age, Period 3 (1950-1750 BC) (Needham 1996).
The axehead is a small example with a length of 77.8mm, and is also comparatively slender with a width at the bevel of 19.9mm. The butt is rounded and the sides are near-parallel (with a width at the butt of 18.2mm) as far as the bevel. After the bevel, the sides curve very gently outwards as far as the blade, where the sides turn out sharply to the blade tips, producing an expanded cutting edge with a surviving width of 39.0mm. The edges of the faces are raised slightly (1mm), but have been eroded and the sides are convex across their thickness. The faces are flat either side of the bevel, which is positioned 34mm from the butt. The blade begins 17mm from the edge. The surface of the axe has been largely lost, in addition to the cutting edge and one of the blade tips.
|
Class 4 axes straddle the boundary between Periods 2 and 3, but this axe can be confidently assigned to Period 3, probably falling within the late Aylesford to Willerby metalworking phases (c.1950-1750 BC) (Needham et al. 1997). At the time of writing (Aug 17) 27 Class 4 axes dating to this period are currently known from across Wales, the vast majority being single finds.
A Class 4E axe was found at Breach Farm, Vale of Glamorgan and is now in AC-NMW collections (Savory 1980, No 388.1); it has recently been radiocarbon dated, producing an early date of 1900 -1800 BC.

Fragment of an unidentified object. The object is triangular in plan, solid cast, and roughly rectangular in cross-section. The object tapers to a worn but intact point. The objects surface is extremely abraded and has a very rough break. The object has an almost 'spear-tip' appearence, however the size, density and terminal of the object would seem to suggest another function.

An incomplete fragment of a cast copper alloy Late Bronze Age socketed spearhead (length: 60.3mm; width: 25mm; thickness: 9mm; weight: 21.71g). The artefact seems to have broken off have way down the blade, and a side section illustrates the blade wings to be slightly unlevel either side and the hollow socket visible. The mid rib continues down to the tip of the blade. The spearhead is worn and in a poor condition with greater corrosion along the cutting edge, with some bronze disase in areas.
A similar example is illustrated in Watson's 'Catalogue of British and European Prehistoric Metalwork in Birmingham City Museums', 1993, page 25, ref no 324, which is described as a 'pegged socketed spearhead with long slender leaf shaped blade; central rib down both faces formed by continuation of socket. Blow holes in rib and near top of socket'. The find was found at Lake Neuchatel.

The object is an incomplete cast copper alloy side looped and socketed spearhead of probable Middle Bronze Age date (1500 - 1150 BC).
The spearhead is an elongated sub-triangular shape in plan and the blade in section is a sub lozenge shape. The socket in section is a sub-circle. The upper most tip of the blade has broken off, and is missing. The break is not a recent break. In profile this portion of the blade is bent slightly due to damage. The edges of the blade are convex tapering towards the tip.
The socket of the spear head tapers slightly towards the blade. The lower edge of the socket is torn and is not the original edge. On either side of the socket, integral to the surface there are incomplete side loops. The internal diameter of the socket is 13.5mm, but this is not the lower edge.
The spearhead is a patchy mid-brown green coloured patina. In length it is 150.4mm long, 20.2mm wide across the loops and 16.5mm thick across the socket. It weighs 59.98g.

Flanged Axehead
|
Bronze Age
|
Bronze Age
|
BRONZE AGE
| -1,725
| -1,500
|
Incomplete copper alloy low-flanged axe of Early Bronze Age date. The axe belongs to Type Arreton (following Schmidt and Burgess 1981) or Class 5 (following Needham 1983; forthcoming). It can be dated to the Arreton metalworking phase (1725-1500 cal. BC), falling within the later half of Period 4 (Needham 1996; Needham et al. 1997).
The axe is incomplete, missing the butt and one of the blade tips. The axe has a surviving length of 73.5mm and would have had an approximate length of 110mm when complete. The sides are straight and near parallel, with a width at the septum of 28.2mm. The flanges and sides are gently rounded and convex, with a maximum height of 15.6mm. The sides have hammered decoration of diagonal markings. The sides curve out sharply just above the blade to produce a widely expanded crescentic cutting edge. The blade face is slightly convex, while the face is slightly dished. There is a straight median bevel and the axe has a thickness at the bevel of 12.2mm. Both faces have a number of small hammer marks of c. 2mm diameter. Sharpening striations running along the cutting edge are evident on both faces. The axe has a deep brown green patina which has flaked off in areas. The axe fragment weighs 165.9g.
|
Class 5/Arreton axes are widely spread across southern England and have a broad distribution in Wales, with 25 currently known from hoards, burials and as single finds. The Penllyn axe falls within Needham's Class 5E group, defined by a broad body and flanges over 1.5mm high. Another Class 5E axe is known from Llanarmon Dyfrryn Ceiriog, Wrexham, and currently held in the AC-NMW collections (Savory 1980, No.118), though this example lacks any decoration on the flanges. A Class 5A axe with similarly decorated flanges was found in the Menai Bridge hoard, Anglesey (Savory 1980, No.259).

The object is probably a portion of casting waste from a Bronze Age object. It appears to be a casting jet made from cast copper alloy. Watson illustrates similar casting jets (No. 19 for example) which are dated to the Bronze Age.
The object is an irregular inverted conical shape, with a sub-oval shaped platform. Protruding from the tip of the conical is a single runner which is sub-rectangular in profile and an elongated sub-oval shape in plan.
The casting jet has a pitted brown coloured patina, which has bronze disease in patches. It weighs 14.75g and measures 18.6mm long, 22.7mm wide and 19.3mm thick.

Cast copper alloy penannular ring, probably an armlet or torc. For most of its length it has a rounded cross-section with a maximum diameter of about 9mm. It narrows towards each terminal, before expanding slightly into terminals with a squarish cross-section about 6-7mm across. It is bent slightly out of shape. This object is possibly of Bronze Age date, but its lack of diagnostic features makes this uncertain.

Fragment of cast copper alloy Bronze Age socketed spear. This fragment represents the very tip of the spearhead. It is triangular in plan and lenticular in section. The spear tip has a median rib, which would have continued down the body of the spearhead. The fragment is solid, except for a short, circular hollow shaft in the broad end of the tip, which represents the very end of the hollow socket. This has an internal diameter of 7.34mm. The object has received damage along one edge, which runs onto the rib and it is also split up the rib either side. Edges are worn suggesting this damage occurred in antiquity. Aside from this damage the original surface of this object survives well with a mid brown patina. Damaged portions show light green corrosion product. The fragment is 45.46mm long, 17mm at the widest point, 10.14mm thick at the rib and weighs 10.14g. Unfortunately with so much of the spear missing, it is impossible to tell which phase of the Bronze Age it belongs to.

Fragment of Middle Bronze Age Transitional Palstave axehead, broken across the main body of the axe (ancient break) and also across one corner of the cutting edge (more recent break). It is probably of Type Roundhay, mid-ribbed variant : the cutting edge has been moderately expanded and at the ancient break the body is narrow (20mm wide). The mid-rib is 5mm wide at the break and continues over 40mm at the same width on both faces.
The fragment is 61mm in length and the surviving cutting edge is 38mm wide. Its estimated original cutting edge width is 43mm. At the ancient break, the cross section is rectangular and measures 20x15mm. It is a clean, and therefore probably purposeful, break.
One face is extremely pitted and ever so slightly concaved in section, so it appears bent. The pitting may therefore have been caused by repeated hammer blows. On the opposite face is a deep roughly horizontal cut.
No original patina survives and the edge is worn. The fragment weighs 108.19g.
Transitional palstaves date to the Penard phase, at the end of the Middle Bronze Age, c.-1250 to -1100 BC. Transitional palstaves had a single side loop.

A tip fragment of a cast copper-alloy Middle Bronze Age rapier. The blade is lozenge-shaped in cross-section and has a slight rib running down the centre of both sides. The rapier belongs to C. Burgess' Group II, lozenge blade section (1968, 3). The blade is slightly curved and bends upwards at the broken end. The blade has had some plough damage and the edges of the blade are worn and feathered in parts. The tip of the blade has a patch of brown patina on both sides, but most of the blade is a bright green colour. The surviving length 113.3mm, the widest part is 22.6mm, the thickness is 4.3mm and the weight is 28.34g.
Group II rapiers come from the first phrase of the Middle Bronze Age, known as the Pickering Phrase c.1400-1200 (Burgess, 1968, 3).

Incomplete Middle Bronze Age copper alloy side-looped spearhead, dating to the Taunton (Cenmaes) - Penard metalworking phases (c.1400-1100BC) (Needham et al. 1997), corresponding to Needham's (1996) Period 5 (c. 1500 - 1150BC).
The spearhead is corroded and incomplete, missing most of the blade and some of the socket on one face. The spearhead has a surviving height of 82.6mm and a maximum external diameter at the mouth of 18mm. The sides of the socket converge comparatively sharply towards the beginning of the blade. The socket continues along the blade to form a prominent rounded midrib. The sides of the socket are slightly pronounced and have the suggestion of side or socket loop stubs approximately 11mm apart. Much of the socket on one face is missing; some of this may be the result of miscasting (where the core has been incorrectly aligned), rather than later damage. The socket has a surviving depth of 63mm. The remnants of the blade are evident on both sides, but little of the blade survives. The spearhead weighs 25.6g (after cleaning).

This spearhead has been published by Davis (2012, No.646) and classed within his Group 6 Developed side-looped, though due to this objects incompleteness it could not be assigned a sub-type. Davis (2012) notes almost 500 Group 6 spearheads from across Britain dating to the Middle Bronze Age, which have a broad distribution. Davis' spearhead sub-types 6A, 6B and 6C are particularly prevalent across Wales, all of which have 'flame-shaped' blades, which might strengthen the idea that this spearhead originally had a flame-shaped blade, rather than a leaf-shaped blade. The spearhead is likely to have been quite short and can be paralleled with a number of similar examples in National Museum & Galleries of Wales' collections (Savory 1980, Nos. 227-230).
A side-looped spearhead from the Thames at Mortlake (DoB 31) has recently been dated by Needham et al (1997) producing an early radiocarbon date of 3225+/- 65BP (OxA-5948) 1680-1400BC with a 95% confidence rating. However, overall Davis (2012, 108-110) places this group within the Taunton-Penard metalworking phases.

Middle Bronze Age copper alloy side-looped spearhead, dating to the Taunton (Cenmaes) - Penard metalworking phases (c.1400-1100BC) (Needham et al. 1997), corresponding to Needham's (1996) Period 5 (c. 1500 - 1150BC).
The spearhead is complete and is a relatively long and slender example of the type, with a length of 163mm and maximum width across the blade of 26.3mm. The spearhead weighs 74.0g. The circular socket end has an external diameter at the mouth of 17.8mm. The end of the socket is decorated with three horizontal grooves around the circumference. The sides of the socket converge towards the blade. Midway between the blade and the end of the socket are attachment loops with oval tops (external dimensions 15 x 5mm). The socket becomes increasingly lozenge sectioned as it approaches the blade. The flame shaped blade is slender and is comparatively slight with a consistent thickness of 1mm and without a bevelled blade edge. The blade has a number of possibly decorative grooves running alongside the midrib. The blade edge is straight and comparatively long (90mm) and has a number of nicks and distortions; this damage is likely to have occurred in antiquity (M. Davis pers comm.). The lozenge sectioned socket develops into pointed and prominent midribs along the blade. A number of small casting flaws are evident on the blade. The surface of the spearhead has survived well and has a mid brown patina. Northover (unpublished) sees socket looped spearheads as a largely Irish type. The type has been known to occur through late Acton Park to Pennard but concentrated in the Cemmaes industry. The mouth decoration, thin and slender blade and pointed midrib on this example are a little unusual. The mouth decoration can be paralleled on a side-looped spearhead from Hod Hill (Pearce 1983, No. 443) and the slender form can be paralleled in examples recorded by Ehrenberg (1977, nos. 25, 26, 28, 140, 143).
|
This spearhead has been published by Davis (2012, No.290) and classed within his Type 6B Developed side-looped (Flame, flat blade, lozenge plates). Davis (2012, 76f.) lists 83 of this type of spearhead from Britain, with a concentration around the Thames Valley and a spread across Central England and Wales. Other Type 6B spearheads are recorded from Llwchwr, Swansea (NMGW-060FE0), Trefeglwys, Powys (Davis 2012, No.330) and Newton Beach, Bridgend (Davis 2012, No.336). A Group 6 side-looped spearhead from the Thames at Mortlake (DoB 31) has been dated by Needham et al (1997) producing an early radiocarbon date of 3225+/- 65BP (OxA-5948) 1680-1400BC with a 95% confidence rating. However, overall Davis (2012, 108-110) places this group within the Taunton-Penard metalworking phases.

A cast looped palstave of Late Middle Bronze Age with a relatively flat blade. Length 128.1mm, maximum width (at blade end) 42.4mm, maximum thickness (at stop ridge) 31.0mm, weight 323g. The palstave has a square butt with deep pocket. The edges of the flanges are abraded. Decoration on both sides of the blade beneath the curving stop ridge appears to be in the form of a shield combined with a central rib to form a “trident” pattern. Small areas of a patina survive overall. However, the implement is suffering from the effects of bronze disease and is in poor condition.

|
Blade end fragment from a Late Bronze Age Socketed axe, c. 1150-800BC of likely Wilburton-Ewart Park metalworking traditions, corresponding to Needham's (1996) Period 6 - 7. While socketed axeheads can date from anytime within the Late Bronze Age, most diagnostic finds tend to date to the Ewart Park phase (950-750BC). The axe head is represented by the blade only and has a maximum surviving length of 35.8mm. The bottom of the socket is present and has been deliberately closed by battering; this damage is also likely to have contributed to the break. Both faces are concave as a result of the damage, the bronze has torn on one face and deep battering scars are evident on the other face. The surviving portion of the side is straight with angles converging to the neatly finished casting seam (giving the axe a hexagonal body profile). The blade is expanded at the tips, producing a surviving blade width of 51.8mm. The Blade edge is curved and has also been damaged and blunted. Most of the surface has been lost, although a small area near the blade has the suggestion of sharpening striations running along the blade. The original surface has a dark green patina, while underlying exposed surface is pale green. The axe fragment weighs 67.6g

An incomplete cast copper-alloy socketed spearhead tip with evidence of a long slender leaf-shaped blade (length: 41.8mm; width: 15.6mm; thickness: 7.7mm; weight: 8.9g), dating to the Bronze Age between c.2200 and c.900 BC. It is triangular in plan. There is a highly pronounced median rib, which would have continued down the body of the spearhead, forming a central lozenge-sectioned profile with the wings to either side. The end of the tip is very narrow but has been blunted. The overall condition of the artefact is worn, corroded, and in a poor condition. Very little of the original patina remains. The irregular break at is an old one. Unfortunately with so much of the spear missing, it is impossible to tell the phase of the Bronze Age to which it belongs.

A cast copper-alloy knife-shaped object. This small artefact tapers to a point which is now missing following an old break. At the attachment end there are traces of rivet holes which have become abraded. The holes on the edges echo those of a Bronze Age sword hilt fragment as illustrated in Needham (1990, 50; fig. 65). The form of the object, however, seems to echo that of a Bronze Age knife as illustrated, for example, in Mills (2000, 19; fig. BR9). There is bevelling on both faces of the object creating a shallow, almost indiscernible, mid-ridge. The small artefact is possibly late Bronze Age given the date of the parallel cited from Mills (2000), and was arguably a votive object.

Late Bronze Age copper alloy socketed gouge.
The socketed gouge dates to the Late Bronze Age, c. 1100-750BC and dates to the Wilburton-Ewart Park metalworking phases (Needham et al. 1997), corresponding to Needham's (1996) Period's 6-7. The gouge is comparatively short, with an overall length of 55.6mm. The socket is oval with an external width (across the blade) of 21.3mm and an external height of 19.7mm (internal: 17.7 x 16.6mm). The mouth of the gouge is plain, and 2.4mm beneath the mouth is a square collar moulding, with a width of 2mm. The sides of the gouge are slightly concave and expand at the blade tips, giving a width at the blade of 18.6mm. The casting flashes are visible on both sides and have minimal finishing. On one side, the flashes have been hammered for most of the length but are high and sharp near the collar. On the other side the flashes may have not been finished and are deep and wide. The blade edge largely survives and is convex. Sharpening striations are evident on the blade and run both along the blade and perpendicular to it. The surface of the gouge survives well with a dark brown patina. The under-face has an unusual linear effect, possibly the result of a mineralised organic. The gouge weighs 40.1g. The finder responsibly did not clean out the socket of the gouge. Excavation of the socket revealed remnants of the wooden handle preserved. The wood has been retained at NMGW.
|
Socketed gouges have been found associated with metalwork assemblages of Wilburton (eg. Guilsfield, Savory, 1980, No. 268) through Ewart Park (eg Penwyllt, Savory 1980, No 284) and Llyn Fawr (Savory 1980, No 291). Savory (ibid., p 55) suggests that the earliest examples have multiple mouth mouldings, while later examples have a plain or broad, flat collar. It is difficult to suggest a date for this example with a prominent single, slender moulding. Potential radiocarbon dating of the wood recovered from the socket could be useful in resolving this problem. The gouge can be paralleled with a larger and unprovenanced example in the Macalpine collection (Antiquities from Europe and the Near East, No. 11.61).
David Coombs (1971, 251ff.; 2001, 288) presented a four category typology based on the shape and style of socketed gouges in south east England. This gouge might be most accurately placed within his Class III, which is characterised by its small, squat form and limited mouth mouldings, though typically this Class has a wider cutting edge.

The object is possibly a cast copper alloy rapier or dirk, dating to the Bronze Age.
Only a fragment of the blade and hilt remain. In plan it is an inverted sub triangle. The sides are straight, tapering to a broken edge. The upper corners of the sides form a ‘)’ and ‘(‘ shape as it is broken across two rivet holes. The patina remains on the curvature of the rivet holes. Above the rivet holes the object is again broken. It is difficult to determine when the breaks occurred as almost all of the patina is missing on the fragment, except for a small patch on the hilt and rivet holes. The patina is a heavy mid brown colour.
The condition of the object is poor, it is only a fragment, and the surface is corroded. It measures 48.3mm long and 26.6mm wide. It weighs 15.28g.

Two lumps of probable copper alloy casting waste. Both items have irregular and very worn surfaces.
The larger piece measures 33mm in length, 26mm in width and 9mm in thickness. The piece has an irregular flat base and a slightly concave inner with a raised crescentric lip. The lip is in the form of a channel, and may have been formed by either pouring into or spilling out of the casting chamber. The flattish base would support this too.
The smaller piece measures 24mm in length, 14mm in width, and 8mm in thickness.

Cast copper alloy incomplete flat axe with the beginnings of a stop ridge and flanged sides dating to the Early Bronze Age c.2000-1700 BC. The blade end of the axe is corroded but the angle suggests that it may have had a crescentic blade. Both faces of the axe are decorated with straight lines punched into the axe after casting, about 5mm in length, and about 1mm apart, in what is referred to as a 'rain pattern'. The axe is 113mm long, 52mm wide at the blade end, 23mm wide at the butt end, 10mm in thickness and weighs 186.03g.
Comparable examples of decorated flat axes from the Southwest can be found in Pearce (1983) from Southleigh in Devon (p.455 & 600, Plate 39 No.297) and from Mount Pleasant in Dorset (p.468 & 609, Plate 48, No.371). But the decoration on this axe covers the whole axe and is more regular and evenly spaced like the example from Preston Down, Weymouth (p.487 & 621, Plate 60, No.480). There is also a similar example in the Royal Institution of Cornwall’s collections from Ladock where there are marks between the flanges, but these are sparse and irregular.
Flat axes decorated with this ‘rain pattern’ and with crescentic blades can be found during the Mile Cross-Aylesford phase (c.2000-1900 BC) of the Early Bronze Age, such as the Class 3 axe illustrated in 'The Circulation of Metal in the British Bronze Age: The Application of Lead Isotope Analysis' (Rohl& Needham 1998, 124, Fig. 25, No.47). Examples with the continuous rain-pattern are found in the following Willerby-Bush Barrow phase (c.1900-1700 BC), such as the Class 4 axes illustrated in Rohl & Needham (1998, 125, Fig. 26, No.57 & B).

A cast, copper alloy, flat axehead of the Migdale-Marnoch tradition, dating from the early Bronze Age, 2150-1500BC. The axehead has a thin narrow rounded butt; the body then thickens in the middle and thins again to a splayed blade and cutting edge. There are slightly raised flanges along the sides. The surface of the axehead is quite corroded and pitted; only small patches of the original surface survive. The axehead measures 104.8mm long, 50.8mm wide across the blade and 11.8mm thick. It weighs 203gm.

|
Copper-alloy socketed looped axehead of Irish Late Bronze Age Type. Due to the short, stocky body of axes of this type, they is referred to as 'bag-shaped' or 'purse-shaped'. The axe's exact measurements are: 57mm in length, the blade width is 43mm, the width of the socket is 31-37mm (inner-outer), the breadth of the socket is 22-27mm (inner-outer, back-front) and the axe weighs 78.97g. These measurements show that the mouth of the axe is aligned with the blade and not back-to-front shaped. The blade was re-worked after the casting process and it is still slightly splayed. However, the axe was in use and it was re-sharpened as well; there are indications of parallel re-sharpening marks close to the cutting edge. The axe was thinly cast and possibly the alloy used was probably more tinny than the normal alloy - the mouth has shows a crack which probably happened while it was in use. However, the damage was obviously no reason to discard the axe.
This socketed axe type is called 'Irish' because most of them were found in Ireland - however, a great number were also found in Scotland, Wales and N/W and S/W England. Due to deposition practices of the Late Bronze Age, these axes were found both singly (in rivers or wetlands) and in hoards.

Solid copper alloy slightly squashed or oval ?bracelet. It measures 71.5x63mm and weighs 50.18g. It is roughly circular in section varying from 6-7mm in thickness, and where the bracelet appears less than circular there are patches of filing. The internal measurements are 59x49mm.
If a bracelet it is rather small. However it could be a harness link, pulled horizontally out of shape - or perhaps designed this way. It could be Bronze Age or Iron Age in date.

Cast bronze penanular bracelet possibly from the Ewart Park phase of the Late Bronze Age, c. 950-750BC. The bracelet is of circular section with a diameter of between 4.9 and 6.1mm. The terminals are expanded and are of circular section with diameters of between 9.0 and 9.8mm. The expanded terminals are central with respect to the hoop. The bracelet is oval with a maximum internal diameter of 60.5mm. The original surface of the bracelet has been lost and the current surface is pitted. The bracelet weighs 39.7g. The bracelet is difficult to date since there are few diagnostic features on the object. Metallurgical analysis using a Scanning Electron Microscope suggested that the bronze composition was consistent with a Late Bronze Age date.
|
A number of bronze penannular bracelets have been found in Late Bronze Age contexts or found in association with other Bronze Age artefacts. A hoard of similar bracelets were found at Llanrhaiadar-ym-Mochnant, Powys (Savory 1980, No. 257). This bracelet falls within Eogan's (1994, 85) Variety 7, which is defined by a solid body with a round cross-section and outwardly expanding solid terminals. Although defining gold bracelets, Eogan (1994, 85) states that this Variety is more frequenly produced in bronze. Similar penannular bracelets have been found in Scottish hoards: Auctertyre, (Morayshire) Glentanner (Aberdeenshire), Monmore, Killin (Perthshire), Wester Ord, Rosskeen (Ross & Cromarty). All the hoards are associated with Late Bronze Age Socketed axes and all but the Glentanner hoard associated with a faceted socketed axe.
It is also possible that the bracelet may be of Iron Age or Early Medieval date.

Copper alloy socketed axe dating to the Ewart Park phase of the Late Bronze Age, c. 950-750BC.
The axe is complete and is comparatively small with a length of 72.7mm and a weight of 181.2g, possibly suggesting a lead rich bronze. The mouth has external dimensions of 44.0 x 37.6mm and has the four casting runner stubs visible. The socket has an oval profile at the mouth with internal dimensions of 30 x 26.5mm and is 58.4mm deep. The axe has a single mouth moulding, which tapers to the face. The loop springs from the base of the moulding. The casting flashes are prominent on both sides and appear to have been finished by hammering. The axe body has a more rounded form than is usual for the type with a sub-rectangular section of 37mm width below the loop. Both faces are decorated with three, widely spaced converging weak ribs. The blade is recurved, producing a rounded blade edge with a length of 45.5mm. The axe has a green to brown patina and has recently been coated in a varnish.
|
This axe possesses a combination of features typically of two well-established axe types. Stylistically this axe shares many properties with Yorkshire-type axes, which are defined by widely-spaced ribs descending from a fairly prominent, slightly everted collar, and often have a small, stumpy appearance with an expanded blade edge (Schmidt and Burgess 1981, 223). However, ribs on Yorkshire type axes typically run parallel or slightly diverge; no examples could be found in Schmidt and Burgess's corpus of Yorkshire axes possessing converging ribs. Similarly, the rounded socket is unusual. Furthermore, the four runner casting technology is a feature found solely in the production of South Wales axes. South Wales axes often have prominent casting seams, as seen on the Penllyn axe, and converging ribs, though these are typically not as widely-spaced.
This axe is thus best seen as a hybrid of two axe-making traditions. In form it most closely parallels Yorkshire axes, but it was produced using South Wales production methods and incorporates features of this latter axe type. These axes were in contemporary production in different regions and thus it is not inconceivably that the technologies might permeate into other areas. Yorkshire-type socketed axes have been found alongside South Wales axes in the hoards from Llantilio Crossenny 2, Monmouthshire (NMGW-AFDAE8), Tal y garn 2, Vale of Glamorgan (Gwilt and Lodwick 2003), and Llangwm, Monmouthsire (Lodwick and Gwilt 2001). The hoards from Tal y garn and Llangwm also contain South Wales variants, which combine features seen on other axes, while a Croxton-type axe from the Llantilio Crossenny 1 hoard possesses affinities with the Yorkshire type.

Fragment of unidentified copper alloy object. This object is subrectangular in plan and flat in section. One end is 12.1mm wide and the object expands to 19.2mm wide at the opposite end. Both the broad and narrow ends are curved and though abraded, seem complete. As it expands the plan of the object swells and then wastes slightly before flaring into the broader end. The object has a flange to either edge. When viewed in profile the object is clearly curved. The surface of the object is abraded. The original surface is mid green and exposed areas are light green. The object does not have an immediately recognisable form and could be Bronze Age to post medieval in date. It is 44.96mm long, 3.84mm thick, the flanges are 5.52mm high and the object weighs 19.09g.

Fragment of copper alloy late Bronze Age socketed axehead. The fragment represents a small part of the lower blade and cutting edge. It is sub-square and wedge-shaped in profile. When viewed in plan, the sides of the body are fairly straight with little outward flare. The original cutting edge no longer exists and the blade tips are worn. There is no casting seam. There is a rectangular aperture in the thicker end of the fragment, which represents the very end of the socket. The axe surface is heavily worn. The original surface of the axe survives in patches and has a mid green patina and the subsequently exposed surface is light green. Break edges are irregular and though not fresh are not especially worn, suggesting that damage occurred in the more recent past. The fragment is 24.02mm long, 27.64mm wide from tip to tip, 25mm wide at the break, 8.82mm thick at the broad end and weighs 15.34g

Fragment of a late Bronze Age socketed axe of South Eastern type. This fragment represents one of the side faces of the axe. It is sub-rectangular and is flat but curved in section. One side of the single mouth moulding is intact. Beneath this moulding there is a groove. The fragment also holds the complete side loop, set at 90 degrees to the main body. A casting seam is visible along the fragment but is less clear over the loop. The object is abraded. Patches of original surface survive on the outer face with an orangey brown patina. Exposed surfaces are lighter and bright green. The inner original surface survives in better condition with an even mid green patina. The break edges are worn, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The fragment is 37.1mm long, 27.38mm wide, 3.18mm thick and weighs 21.69g. The side loop is 19.76mm long and 10.66mm wide.

Copper alloy tanged and collared chisel, probably dating to the Ewart Park phase of the Late Bronze Age (c.950-750 BC).
The chisel is complete and is 98.3mm long. The tang is of square section and tapers to a curved edge. The base of the tang is defined by a rounded collar moulding, 6.2mm thick and 8.0mm wide. The blade sides diverge in a near straight (slightly concave) to a gently curved cutting edge of 24.3mm width. Some of the original surface survives on the chisel with a mid-green patina. The chisel weighs 18.1g.

Tanged and collared chisels typically date from the Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age (Llyn Fawr period). An example dating to the Wilburton/Wallington phase is known from Doncaster, Yorkshire (Burgess 1968, 19, fig 7,2; Burgess, Coombs and Davies, 1972, 217), though the main currency is during the Ewart Park phase (c.900-700 BC) into the subsequent Llyn Fawr period (c.700-600 BC).
Tanged and collared chisels have a broad distribution across northern France, Britain and Ireland (see Coffyn et al. 1981, 202-203, Carte 7), though there are relatively few examples from western England and Wales. A very similar example with a thick collar and triangular blade can be seen in the large Ewart Park phase Nottingham Hill hoard, Gloucestershire (Gingell 1974, 308, fig 4,22), as well as a single find from Leigh Woods, Bristol (MacGregor 1987, 109, 11.65). Another example was found at Brogyntyn, Shropshire (Savory 1980, No 288.3) associated with a socketed gouge and a fragmentary Hallstatt 'C' sword.

BRONZE AGE

|
A fragment of a cast copper alloy late Bronze Age socketed axehead dating from 1000-800 BC. Only the lower blade is represented. It is 34.9mm in length, 49.2mm wide and 14.8mm thick at the blade and weighs 64.94g. There are casting flashes on both sides extanding to the blade edge. The cutting edge is slightly expanded. The axe is slightly worn but in a fair condition although parts of the cutting edge are corrosion chipped. The surface is slightly pitted and has a dark brown patina.
In the 'Guide Catalogue of the Bronze Age Collections' of the National Museum & Art Gallery, 1980, H. N. Savory states that the socketed axe-head represents a change both in the method of hafting and the method of the production of Bronze Age axes. The earliest examples of these artefacts in England and Wales appear in the Middle Bronze Age, although most appear in the Late Bronze Age.

A cast copper-alloy Late Bronze Age 'bag-shaped' dagger scabbard chape. The object has a rounded end. Because it is abraded at the attachment end it is hard to discern whether or not the 'body' of the chape would have continued up with straight sides. There are six aligned circular perforations near the point of the old break, three on either side. A couple of these chapes are listed in O'Connor (1980, 190-191; ref. 161). They are associated with the 'carp's tongue complex' of south-east England and date to the Ewart Park metalworking phase.

The tip from a broken Bronze Age spear. The spear tip is made from cast copper-alloy. It measures 55 mm long and tapers from 22.5 mm to 3.5 mm at the point. The spear is socketed with a circular hole running through it. The spear has a rounded ridge running down the length of the spear, on both the top and bottom, making it circular in profile, with a triangular wing (formed by the edge of the spear) to either side. The spear dates to the late Bronze Age, from around 1200 to 800 BC. Similar artefacts are illustrated in Langmaid (1976, page 53; figure 19).

Butt fragment from an axehead of Bronze Age date. The butt fragment is likely to be from a developed flat axe or flanged axe of later Early Bronze Age date, metalworking stage IV, corresponding to Needham's 1996 Period 3, c. 2100 - 1700 BC. It is possible however, that the fragment may be from a small palstave of Middle Bronze Age date, c. 1500 - 1150BC. The fragment has a surviving length of 27.1mm and a maximum surviving width at the break of 15.9mm. The butt is neatly rounded and has a thickness of 1.3mm. The sides are straight and diverge gently before the break. The sides are rounded and the flanges are marked by facets. The faces are flat except for the low flanges, which have a maximum surviving height of 0.5mm. At the break the fragment has a thickness of 8.2mm across the flanges and 7.3mm across the septum. The fragment weighs 15.8g. The fragment appears to have come from a well cast axe and has been neatly finished. One face has a silvery appearance, possibly because of surface enrichment of tin. The surface is in good condition with dark green to brown patina.
|
This fragment probably once belonged to a Class 4 or Class 5 axe (following Needham 1983), and dated to the MA V Willerby to MA VI Arreton phases of the Early Bronze Age (c.1750-1500 BC) (Needham et al. 1997). Similar flanged axes from which this piece may have originated can be seen in Savory (1980, Fig.18, Nos. 121, 259), though no further classification can be achieved from this fragment.

Blade fragment from an axehead of Bronze Age date The axehead is represented by the bottom of the blade and short length of one blade side and has a maximum surviving length of 21.1mm. The fragment has a surviving blade width of 37.2mm and the break is likely to have been near the blade tip. The surviving blade tip is slightly out-turned. The blade edge is curved and no sharpening striations are evident on the blade. The blade appears to have a casting flaw near the break where the blade has a rounded step across its thickness. The break has no evidence of the bottom of a socket. The surviving side is straight before the out-turn at the tip, and is rounded across its thickness with no evidence of the casting flashes surviving. One face has a more pronounced blade facet than the other, 8mm from the blade edge. The face without the blade facet is slightly convex across its width, the other face being flat. The fragment has a maximum surviving thickness at the break of 6.8mm and weighs 19.6g. The surface of axe has a dark green to brown patina. The form of the blade fragment is more likely to suggest a flanged axe or palstave, although a socketed axe is possible.

Blade fragment from a Bronze Age edged implement, probably of Middle Bronze Age date, c. 1500-1000BC. The implement is represented by the top of the blade and the beginning of the handle, but has broken at both ends and has a surviving length of 30.5mm. No rivet holes are evident at the top and much of the peripheries have been lost. The fragment has a maximum width at the end of the blade of 17.5mm. It is possible that the implement has broken across the rivet holes. The handle end thins towards the break. The blade is defined by blade edges either side of a poorly defined and rounded midrib, which diverges at the butt. No sharpening striations are evident on the blade. The fragment has a maximum thickness at the midrib of 2.3mm and weighs 4.8g. The fragment has a dark green to brown patina and has lost small patches of the surface. The slight nature of the fragment may suggest a dirk, small rapier, knife or dagger.

Bronze ring, probably of later Prehistoric date. The ring is irregular and rounded, resembling a bead, with an external diameter of between 16.2 and 16.7mm. The ring has a width of between 7.4 and 8.5mm and the faces are rounded. The perforation has a diameter of 5.2 to 5.8mm and implies the perforation was cast rather than drilled. The ring weighs 9.9g and has a deep and dark green patina. Bronze beads are not common finds; the form can be paralleled in amber beads from the Late Bronze Age and in Iron Age glass beads. Examples of bronze beads have been found on a number of sites, including The Breiddin Hillfort (Musson, 1991, p 138, no. 165) where a bead with raised cast ornament was dated to the 1st century BC. Larger plain examples have been found at Glastonbury (Bulleid & Gray, 1911, 228, pl. xliv, E195).

Blade fragment from a Bronze Age axe, probably of Middle Bronze Age date, c. 1500-1100 BC. The axe is represented by a blade fragment only, and has a surviving length of 32.1mm. The original surface of the axe has been lost, and little surface detail survives. The axe was probably comparatively slender and has a minimum width across the break of 21mm. The break is eroded and round and shows no evidence of a socket base. The sides expand to the blade tips, which are now rounded, giving a blade width of 35.5mm. No evidence for casting flashes survive on the sides. The blade edge is curved. One face is relatively flat, while the other has the suggestion of a blade facet surviving, beginning c. 10mm from the blade edge. The fragment weighs 28.4g. The bronze is heavily pitted and has a dark green to brown patina. The fragment is likely to originate from a palstave of Middle Bronze Age date, but may be from an earlier developed or flanged axe of later Early Bronze Age, from c. 1700BC.

Cu-alloy tool, possibly a chisel. It is very thin and if not a tool of some kind it may have been part of a metal vessel (part of the handle?).
There is a chance that it is a Bronze Age tool, but the overall shape does not suggest this (too thin for a wood working tool).

Cast cu-alloy flanged axe of Caverton metalwork tradition (BA stage: Acton Park). It is complete and has a chocolate-brown patina. The casting seams have been taken off and the remains smoothed down. The blade was hammered into shape and is now splayed/crescent-shaped. The cutting edge is still sharp and there are not very many re-sharpening marks visible. Also, there is only a small number of nicks and dents which means that it has not been extensively used.

Undated copper alloy object, 18mm long and 17mm wide. The object is in fair condition with a brown surface patina showing green where its been removed. The object is roughly crescent shaped and is 11mm thick in the centre. The object tapers sharply towards the ends (which may have joined to form a circle). The object is decorated with four raised circles arranged in a rectangle, two are 4mm in diameter and two are 6mm in diameter. The object may be prehistoric and may be some sort of strapend or even a large earring.

Cast copper alloy sword fragment with rounded point end and broken upper blade with the rest of the blade and hilt missing. The sides of the blade come to a point and there is a central ridge running up and down the blade, resembling the Ewart Park type sword shape in plan, which widens towards the bottom half of the blade. The fragment is lozenge-shaped in section, without a pronounced central ridge, which is typical of this type of sword section.
The sword fragment is 47 mm long, 38 mm wide, 1.8 mm thick at the rounded end and 7.5 mm thick at the broken blade end, and 52.84g in weight.
Needham (1998) illustrates two Ewart type swords on page 135, Fig.37, Nos.386-7.
Pearce (1985) illustrates similar examples on p.460 & 467, Plate 145 b&e, Nos.325 & 365, from Devon and Cranborne, Dorset, respectively, which are dated to the Ewart Park phase.

Cast copper alloy socketed ferrule of a triangular basal-looped spearhead with the remains of the base of the loops on either side of the broken ferrule. Beyond these protrusions there are on either side about 10 mm of the base of the blade in the form of a slight ridge. The blades would have been leaf-shaped and bevelled. The ferrule has a long hollow socket which is circular in section and tapers towards the broken blade end. The opposite end of the socket is also damaged but the surface of the ferrule is in good condition, having a rich green shiny patina.
Similar examples can be found in Pearce (1983) from Lynton in Devon on page 448, Plate 34, No.270, and from Pimperne in Dorset on page 478, Plate 54, No.430b. The latter was found with a side-looped palstave. These types of spear-head are generally dated to the Penard phase (c.1300-1150 BC), as is an example from Maentwog, Gwynedd in Pearce (1984) page 38, Plate 10, which was found in a hoard with flat-ribbed rapiers.
Needham (1998) also illustrates a similar but complete example in his group of Penard metalwork on page 132, Fig.34, No.188.

Cast copper alloy Late Bronze Age socketed gouge, with part of the wooden handle surviving. The gouge itself is worn, possibly from water action, and is incomplete, most of the mouth having broken off. There are a pair of faint incised transverse lines, presumably decoration, just below the mid- way point, around the back of the gouge. The gouge measures 72.36mm in length, 18.14mm-20.07mm in width and it weighs 54g. The wooden handle, which is shaped to fit the socket is 73.15mm long, 12.75mm-13.43mm wide and weighs 7g. When the handle is inserted into the socket the combined object is 93.5mm long and weighs 61g.

Socketed Axehead

BRONZE AGE

An incomplete tip of a cast bronze socketed axehead, dating from c. 1050-600 BC (length: 24.9mm; width: 45.8mm; thickness: 12.4mm; weight: 54.10g). This rounded tip has a very blunted and possibly unfinished blade and only a small part of the bottom of the socket mouth is visible as a slight sub-rectangular indentation. This artefact is in a worn and poor condition with a patchy dark brown patina remaining, although the object seems to have been coated in a substance.
In 'Guide Catalogue of the Bronze Age', savory states that the socketed axe-head represents a change both in the method of hafting and the method of production. This involves the adoption of a handle with a single knee-shaft prong, as well as the use of hollow casting and the 'cire perdue' process.
