A fragment of metalworking mould.
The surface has a partial impression of an object with a transverse moulding of circular cross-section at the end of a curved plate, with suggestion of a slight expansion. Identification of the type of object being cast is difficult, but the imression shares characteristics with another fragment 2017.4H/3.15. The impression is incomplete but may be for a pin head (the head is too small for a brooch pin of Clogher type: Youngs 1089, no.188). It could possibly be for a ringed pin with a plain rounded head.
The fabric has a reduced core and inner surface with a light orange brown exterior surface.
