Interesting object

Hi,
I found this yesterday in a field beside a celtic fort in Ireland.
It looks like a model boat or canoe,with one end missing.The end seems to be iron,and i assume the rest is bronze.Could this be a votive offering,or is it celtic?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fascinating Find! To my untrained eye, it has the look of something Norse. Were the Vikings in that area?

celts? could be a chariot fitting...or the drag for a sword scabbard.

it was called the iron age.
