NHER 7733 (Find Spot record) - Unprovenanced Mesolithic or later pebble macehead, Roman spoon and post-medieval coin (Attlebridge, poorly located)

These finds were recovered from Attlebridge parish but no further locational information is available.

Pre 1945. Stray Find.
1 prehistoric quartzite macehead with hour-glass perforation, 4" (10.5cm) long and 2 1/2" [6.3cm] wide. Coloured by iron content. Ex F. H. Barclay Collection (1934). Information from (S1), which has an outline sketch of this object.

This object is held by the Norwich Castle Museum and, as noted by both (S1) and (S2), it is marked with the accession number 102.945. This accession number does not appear in the museum's current records, suggesting it was added in error. It is likely that this object was originally part of a large collection of Barclay's finds from various Norfolk sites that was donated to the NCM in 1935 (NWHCM : 1935.57).

This find is listed as a pebble macehead in (S3). Such items are however generally not seen as closely datable having been found in both Mesolithic and later prehistoric contexts.
