A piece of window glass of Post-Medieval date. The piece is broadly a parallelogram in plan with a narrow rectangular section. The surface of the glass is degraded in a manner similar to that seen on plant ash glasses of the medieval to post-medieval periods, likely caused by general weathering.

A handmade bone whistle of uncertain date. The whistle is plano-convex in plan with a flat top and curved base and is ovoid in section. A drilled or bored hole is present at the proximal end of the whistle creating a wind way, though this appears to be infilled with organic material, and a triangular recessed lip is carved into the flat upper surface exposing more of the wind way. A sub rectangular projection is present from the outer curved edge of the whistle within which is another drilled or bored hole. The projection is shallow resulting in the majority of the hole running horizo…
