A fragment of thin copper alloy sheet with ragged edges.
Despite this object's similarity in shape to an arrowhead it is thought that this is coincidental as the object appears not to have been deliberately shaped. Its proximity to other objects of Bronze Age date suggests a probable date.

Treasure report written by Dr S.P. Needham: This is very likely to be an ancient object (over 300 years old) and may be of future research interest if better parallels come to light. The incomplete nature of this object and the lack of diagnostic features makes it difficult to identify its original form. A...
