A broken flint plano-convex knife of early Bronze Age date. The knife has been made from a tertiary waste flake. It has broken so that approximately half of the original implement (including the striking platform and bulb of percussion) is missing. The broken edge appears to have been retouched slightly at some point after the break occurred. There are ripples on the ventral surface. The whole of the dorsal surface is covered with pressure-flaked invasive retouch, as is part of the ventral surface, at the distal end. The mid-brown flint has a mid-gloss patina.

A copper alloy angel (ten shillings) coin weight from the reign of Charles I. The circular coin weight has a diameter of 17.6mm, a thickness of 2.4mm and weighs 3.76g. Its original weight would have been 4.2g (Withers and Withers 1995, p. 14). On the obverse there is a crown with X, for ten, and s for shillings beneath. On the reverse is a depiction of an angel. The coin weight must date from between the start of the reign of Charles I in 1625 and 1642, when the angel denomination ceased to be issued (Withers and Withers 1995, p. 68).

Two rim sherds from unglazed hand made cooking vessels of early medieval to medieval date. The wide-mouthed rim sherds are quite chunky, suggesting that they fall earlier in the usual date range for this coarse locally made pottery.

Both sherds have oxidised orange surfaces and a reduced grey core. Total weight: 49.22g
