Two glass beads.  The beads are of a pale blue or aquamarine colour.  Both are slightly irregular in shape but are essentially sub-oval with flattened sides and a single central perforation.  It is often difficult to date beads accurately, especially if they are of very simple design.  These beads are therefore recorded as undated although are thought to be most probably of Modern date, AD.c.1750-1900 as the form is not typical of earlier periods. Both beads weigh 0.4g, the larger bead is 9.43mm long by 5.59mm thick by 4.79mm wide, the smaller bead is 8.85mm long by 6.34mm thic…

Circular amber coloured glass bead. Tool and grinding marks visible. 14mm in diameter. The hole is 2mm in diameter. Dating a bead of this style is difficult as glass beads have a long history of use, from the Roman period to the modern era.

Incomplete fragment of an irregular bi-conical glass bead of probable Roman date (50-300 AD). The bead is formed from a dark blue glass with a series of irregular bubble like inclusions in the matrix. The outer surface is much abraded with a series of flaws which may be original; it is a milky blue colour. Where the bead is broken a dark purple blue cvoloured glassy surface is exposed. Although described as bi-conical, the bead is also globular with the two edges being irregular in plan. The thickness also changes around the edge. There seems to be no surface decoration present. A dire…

Blue opaque glass diamond-faceted bead of uncertain date. It is 8mm long and 5mm in diameter. It is rectangular with facetted corners at each end. There is a central cylindrical hole running the length of the bead. It is possibly Roman or Early Medieval in date but it is impossible to be certain when found as a stray find. Guido’s book on Anglo-Saxon beads (1999, 50-51) says they could be Roman but some are also found in 6th century (and later) graves.

It has convex sides with flattened ends and could be described as being oblate in form.

There is little regularity in the eyes, with some of them larger than others, and inner rings of different sizes. The rings are spaced around the circumference of the bead. In the Roman period an…
