A fragment (approximately one third) of a silver penny of Edward the Confessor (1042-66), 'Expanding Cross', light coinage (North 822), moneyer: Authgrimr (Othgrim; OÐGRIM), mint: Lincoln. Ref: North 1994: 180. The damage to the coin appears to have occurred post deposition as the breaks are not as clean as might be expected from a deliberate cut.

A copper-alloy strap end of Thomas type A1, dating c. 800-1100. The strap end is largely complete, though has suffered from surface wear and corrosion.

A cast copper-alloy fragment of a square-headed brooch of Anglo-Saxon tradition, dating c. 500-600.

A cast copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon small-long brooch, dating c. 475-600. The brooch is mostly complete, missing its foot terminal and pin. The head of the brooch is cruciform, with a central panel defined on three sides by a line of stamped crescent-over-dot motif. The side wings do not appear to bear any more decoration, except for a small notch cut in the lower edge of each wing, to further distinguish from the bow. The top arm of the cruciform head bears more damage to its edges, though not much material has been lost; the base of the top arm also has a notch in its lower corners, …

A wrought iron pin of probable Anglo-Saxon tradition, dating to the Early Medieval period, c. 500-1000. The pin appears to be complete, though is has suffered from considerable corrosion due to the fact that it was made in iron. The simple shaft has a conical end with a blunted point, though this could be due to wear and corrosion, and much of the shaft has lost the outer surface to corrosion. The head of the pin appears to have been made separately from wire and added to the shaft, coiling around its top. This head bears coiled wire decoration, but corrosion obscures the details, …

A cast copper-alloy pin of Early Medieval date, c. 700-900. The pin has a polyhedral head that is primarily cuboid, but with faceted corners. Each of the four primary faces has a single punched ring-and-dot decoration. The top face has an inscribed X, though slightly off-centre. The base of the head tapers to a collar and then the pin shaft. The shaft broke in antiquity, and it appears that the 10mm of shaft remaining were worn to produce a sharp tip for likely reuse - possibly as a game token or peg.

Below this is a rectangular panel that is undecorated except for a simple band across the width of the panel in its centre in low relief. The panel then yields to a series of moulded collars in high relief: first a double collar, followed by a triple collar, and probably another double collar but this is …
