Title
x-ray of early medieval? Iron spearhead
Description
English: Early Medieval? iron spearhead fragment, 260mm long and 70mm wide.

The second object is a sub rectangular fragment, 130mm long with a spherical protrusion near its broken edges and with one intact? flat edge.

The spearhead? and several fragments of iron were sent to Lincoln for x-ray analysis in the hope that a firmer date could be established. But this was inconclusive.
