Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: York
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead spindle whorl of medieval to post-medieval date. The spindle whorl is a flat disc with a central perforation running through it. It is undecorated. The spindle whorl is 20.97mm in diameter, 4.89mm thick and weighs 12.22g. The perforation is 5.5mm in diameter. Lead spindle whorls were commonly used from the Iron Age through to the post-medieval period and are difficult to date with any certainty. Decorated examples are thought to date to the medieval to post-medieval periods while undecorated examples cannot be securely dated without supporting contextual evidence.

Object type: COIN
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: York
Workflow stage: Published
An Anglo-Saxon gold shilling of the 'York' group, type C. The coin is one of 19 known examples of the 'York' group of Gold Shillings. These were struck in the first half of the seventh century, the first coinage ever made in the town of York. Until recently their attribution to a mint in York was uncertain but recent finds, which show a clear Yorkshire focus, have made this attribution very likely. This find from near York would further strengthen this pattern. It would also be the first coin found so close to the mint since the 1840s discoveries of several shillings in the centre …

An incomplete copper-alloy buckle of post-medieval date. This is the front plate section but the loops and rear plate are missing. The attachment end would originally have been trilobate with a rivet hole in the centre but two of the three lobes have broken off. The plate narrows as it approaches the centre where it expands again to form a round central section, with a central, circular rivet hole. Both rivet holes originally had iron rivets, one of which remains in place. There are two arms, which would have originally been loops, with a rectangular pin recess. The surface is decorat…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy object, likely to be a mount, of medieval date. It is of unusual form with a square, domed section and an integral loop, much of which is missing due to old breaks. The square section has a raised, square central portion with iron staining. There is an incised line which divides it from the remnants of the loop. On the reverse is an integral spike of rectangular section. The precise purpose is uncertain but it may be a bar mount with integral loop. If this were the case then it would likely be of thirteenth- to fifteenth-century date. No parallels have been …

An incomplete copper-alloy mount of medieval date. Mount is formed of plate which was originally sub-rectangular in plan with one vertical edge slight convex and the other slightly concave, mirroring one another. It was attached with two circular rivets one of which is still present. Two corners have been broken off. The style is very functional and it is undecorated meaning that it could date to most points between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. It measures 15.87mm in length, 10.24mm in width, 3.87mm in thickness (including the rivet) and weighs 0.55g.

An incomplete copper-alloy buckle plate of medieval date. Only the upper plate survives with the most of the loops and all of the lower plate missing. The plate is rectangular in plan, tapering somewhat towards the attachment end. It was secured with three rivets, two alongside one another and close to the loop with the other central and close to the attachment end. The upper surface is decorated with evidence that it was originally gilded. It is similar in form to Egan and Pritchard (1991), p. 75, no. 305 although produced to a much higher standard.

A copper-alloy strap end spacer of medieval date. It is rectangular in plan with a central collared knop extending from the centre of the bar. One arm of the bar is broken. The protruding knop is of hexagonal section, narrowing towards the terminal. The plate of the spacer is a flat, rectangular plate of rectangular section. It was attached to the other plates of the spacer by way of copper-alloy rivets one of which survives. The form is quite unusual as most spacers are forked but the knop is quite similar to those in Egan and Pritchard (1991), p. 144. It is likely to the fourteenth …
