A Post Medieval or early Modern cast copper-alloy mount, probably dating to between c. 18th-19th centuries AD. In plan the mount has an octofoil shape with a central square hole for a separately cast square rivet, now missing. The front face is convex with beveling on the edges of the square hole, at which point there are signs of rotational wear. There is a circular groove directly inside of the octofoil decoration. The reverse of the mount is concave. The square hole, flat back and indications of rotational wear suggest that it is probably a back mount for a furniture handle and orig…

A worn silver short cross cut halfpenny of Scottish 'Short Cross and Stars' issue, probably of William I, c. AD 1199- 1230. It is possible to detect traces of the obverse bust with pelleted hair and linear nose suggesting William I, but the legend is illegible. Likewise, the remaining portion of the reverse shows a voided short cross with a five-pointed star in two quadrants, and the letter E in the legend. Cf. Spink (2003) 'Coins of Scotland, Ireland and the Islands', pp. 13-14, nos. 5027-5033.

A fragment of a cast copper-alloy Roman bow brooch, probably of Colchester, Colchester derivative or T-shaped type, c. 1st-2nd century AD. The fragment consists of the curving catchment-end of the bow and retains the entire openwork catchplate. The remainder of the bow, head, spring and pin are all missing. The catchplate has an openwork oval aligned with its long axis in the direction of the bow. The bow is narrow in width and the joining angle of the pin-return suggests the bow had a significant arch. The fragment measures 28.5mm long. 12.6mm wide, 2.8mm thick and weighs 2.3g.

A worn, broken and heavily clipped silver long cross penny. The clipping is unusual in that instead of the metal around the periphery being removed by shears it appears to have been punched, perhaps using an annular cutter. Apart from the small amount of missing edge it is perfectly round, concentric on the inner circle, and in places on the circumference shows slight signs of burring. Monarch and mint are unknown and the coin dates from AD 1279-1489. [Adrian Marsden identification: Silver penny, probably of uncertain later 15th century king, very heavily clipped, further details illeg…

A fragment of a probable Early Medieval to Medieval pendant whetstone. The stone is rectangular in both plan and cross-section. At one end it is perforated by a circular hole to secure it via a thong or suspension ring to a strap or belt. The thickness is greater at the perforated end where it tapers in a shallow curve to the broken terminal end. The greater thickness at one end probably derives from the fact that it was held by this end when in use. The material is dark grey in colour and is probably a form of Blue Phyllite, the surface of which is smooth and fine, but the sides in…
