Two bronze spearheads with loops on socket.

R.R. Clarke (NCM).
Bronze implement unspecified recorded in (S2).
Like Carbrooke NCM.
R.R. Clarke (NCM).
One of these objects is shown in a watercolour illustration titled 'Threxton metalwork and flints' produced by Frederick Sandys (1829-1904). This drawing (S3) is held by the NCM (NWHCM : 1951.235.1223.B136 : F) and bares the inscription "Antiquities found a Threxton and now in the cabinet of Thomas Barton Esqr the proprietor of the parish." The second metal object drawn appears to be a late medieval candlestick.
