Late Bronze Age spearhead
Fragment of a solid (miscast) spearhead with a projecting peg at the rivet holes, due to the omission of the core, and with a peg for securing it in position. Tip missing and the seams are untrimmed. The socket end has been hit repeatedly with a thick flat bladed instrument (axe?) which has resulted in .1 and .2 breaking from each other.
