🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Bronze cylindrical thing.

[Urien of Rheged]

I found this close to where I was fortunate enough to.come across a Bronze age Spear head (circa 1800 - 1500 BC)
It weighs 40 grams and if you look carefully you can see there are two tiny insert holes at either end.
Now I realise that just because it was found in the vicinity of that Spear head doesnt mean its contempory but it certainly has some antiquity. I just don't have a clue as to what it's use is which would be a good start. Any help gratefully received.

If it has a bit of weight to it, it could be a "plumb bob".

The size, weight, shape, thru hole and heavy material screams "Plumb Bob"
possibly from the same time period as your spear tip.

That was my first thought, but not sure why the second hole.
