Full Description
PRN 55176
A watching brief was undertaken during topsoil stripping on the Lower Witham environment scheme. A Bronze Age socketed bronze hammer was uncovered. The form and composition of the hammer place it in the British late Bronze Age. The most probable date, on the basis of the composition, is the first half of the Ewart Park period, about the 10th, into the 9th centuries BC. The hammer was found in desiccated peat about 0.15m below the top soil and it was suggested that the hammer might have been redeposited during scouring or dredging of the South Delph. {1}{2}
