Iron Age / Roman iron sickle
Fragment of the curved blade, possibly from an iron sickle or reaping hook. There is no suggestion of the beginnings of a socket and it seems to narrow considerably at one end to form a tang. Both edges appear to have been utilized giving the blade a flattened cross section, tapering at both edges, which would be quite unusual. The blade is too fragmentary to determine the exact shape and tanged sickles are known from both Late Iron Age sites such as Llyn Cerrig Bach (Fox 1946, p42, no.65, PL. XXXVIII) and Romano-British contexts as at Dinorben (Gardner and Savory, p158, fig.24.5).
