I thought that it was maybe a bell, but i asked on an horology forum and they ruled that out.
It's been mounted as can be seen from the rust in the middle.
It meaures 50mm long x 45mm wide x 40mm high.
It was found in a field that produced a bronze age axe c1000 BC plus another item that i've been unable to identify, all seem to be bronze.
Next step might be the British Museum.
Yours comments would be most appreciated.....Rick
