A possible copper alloy Awl of uncertain date. The Awl tapers from the blunt end at 3.5mm to a fine point at 1.3mm and is formed square although it does have a slight twist in its length. It has a bend, possibly meant in its construction along two thirds of its length. Similar to other awls on this site. The find has been given a wide date, but the square section of the awl suggests a probable later date.

A crudely made lead-alloy die of uncertain date. The die is cuboid in shape with square even sides. It has random numbered small holes in each side ranging from 1 to 11. The die could be Roman, although a medieval date cannot be ruled out. Egan (1997, 1) notes that dice with irregular arrangements seem to be most common between the 13th and 16th centuries. This die has developed a white patina.
