Find Spot record 2637/0/1 - Bronze Age Palstave from Brereton

Middle Bronze Age palstave fragments found in ploughsoil up to 30cms deep and up to 2.5 metres apart. Ten fragments from at least three palstaves. Fragmentary and corroded condition makes precise identification of palstave types difficult. All fractures appear to be ancient, suggesting that this find may represent a founder's hoard which has been disturbed by ploughing. Found in April 1996 by metal detecting. In collections of Cheshire Museums Service. Donated by finder. (1) Photograph and slide in SMR
