Copper alloy strip fragment with smooth lateral edges, and broken at one end. Both ends are square in shape but the 'true' end is pierced by a centrally placed fixing hole (diameter c.2mm) set c.5mm from the edge, and contains a circular patch of differential corrosion on its external surface. This corrosion is not as obvious as that observed on No.34. Decorated by a single, apparently continuous and slightly off-centre, incised line which runs from the end without a fixing hole to c.9mm from the edge of the 'true' end. The impression of this line is visible on the internal surface.
Site Name: Llyn Cerrig Bach, Cae Ifan Farm
Notes: Found during the construction of an airfield at RAF Station Valley. Some certainly, the rest probably, from a wet meadow which formed the margin of Llyn Cerrig Bach. The exact depth below the grassy surface at which the objects were deposited is not known. The bog was excavated to a maximum depth of 20 feet. A few objects were found on the spot, after the peaty deposit had been won from the boggy margin of the lake. The rest, with the exception of 44.32/58, were found on that portion of the adjacent aerodrome on which the peat from this site had been spread. Animal bones were associated with the deposit and many metal objects were stained with vivianite.
