Middle Bronze Age bronze spearhead
Incomplete eroded socketed spearhead, the blade does not survive but the remnants suggest the blade was leaf-shaped. The two loops have been lost, but their remnants are visible near the base of the spearhead either side of the socket. The spearhead has eroded to such an extent that little else apart the socket survives forming a cylindrical tapering point. The bottom of the socket has broken and is missing.
