Context (Amendments / updates)
Dr Frieman provided information stating the find spot was Icklingham, Forest Heath, Suffolk (2014, 'Appendix'). It is unclear where this refined information originated or if was assigned by W.F. Grimes like similar such Bronze Age daggers in MAA's collection. This information has tentatively been added to the Place field.
