2007 T450 The British Museum Curator's report describes the object as: "Small decorative stud, probably part of a drop-style earring imitating Roman examples. A circular convex rosette has a central protruding knop and is surrounded by a flat circular strip. A border surrounds this and has been marked with indents to give the appearance of beaded wire. The piece is surmounted by three small flattened knops, each with a similar border as the main section. This is typical of 19th-century archaeological jewellery and is therefore not Treasure. N. Awais-Dean British Museum 31/10/07"

2007 T321 The Briish Museum curator report says: "Gold rectangular bracelet slide with remains of enamel on the upper surface, upon which scratches are visible. Three of the edges have engraved decoration in the shape of continuous arches. The two shorter sides have protrusion: one is squashed out of shape; the other serves as a handle for a drawer. This suggests it may have been used as a reliquary or momento mori, more than likely containing hair. The base has been dented slightly, causing the piece to curve. Examples of this object type survive intact in the Hull Grundy Collection …

A medieval gold circular finger-ring, of small diameter, consisting of a very worn hoop. The hoop is decorated with a symmetrical design in the bezel area. The square central hole, between two engraved vertical lines, the two further panels both contained a punched dot, a hole and a further engraved vertical line. Each of the holes suggests a different diameter and these may have been designed for glass or gem settings, but there is no evidence that these were ever inserted. The finger-ring dates to the 14th century. Diameter of hoop 18mm.
