The frame is sub-oval in plan, the end with the terminals being almost straight.

A post-medieval 'crotal' (animal) bell cast in copper alloy, broken into two unequal parts (17th century). The upper half has two sound holes c. 2mm in diameter, both not fully filed. As a result of old damage the bell has broken through one of those holes in a ragged break extending to each side to the two sound holes on the lower hemisphere. These latter abut the central casting seam and are far larger (c. 7-8mm). They are joined together by a slot and are perpendicular to those on the upper half. On both sides of the slot is a moulded cherub with a face flanked by wings that also travel below. Diagonal incisions pick out the feathers. A similar design can be found illustrated in Bailey (1995, 40-41; ref. 15), where it is dated to the 17th century; other examples have been recorded on this database - refs. BH-6FCF27, HAMP-13B657. The upper surface is decorated with common 'sunburst' pattern, seemingly formed of lobes but with longitudinal lines of large pellets. The corroded iron pea survives within the bell. The suspension loop is integral and sub-rectangular with an angled top (8.75 x 14.2 x 7.1mm). It features a circular perforation that has extended through the top of the bell. The bell has a variable dark-green surface.

An incomplete lead-alloy hooked tag, dating from the early post-Medieval period.<\/p>\n
The cast head is inverted-sub-triangular in plan. The relief moulded decoration on the upper surface contains three equal-sized rings, each with internal petal-like segments and a raised central pellet. The rings, arranged two above one, are clustered around a central boss. The perimeter of the head is decorated with a line of moulded pellets, interrupted on the two bottom angles by larger lobes. A sub-circular lobe projects from the base of the head, its surface decorated with a flower head design. A remnant of the copper-alloy pin projects from the base of this lobe. On the reverse of the head is a rectangular recess, across which the now missing bar (marked by a pair of flanking right-angled projections) would have extended horizontally.<\/p>\n
Dimensions: 24.3mm high, 20.7mm wide, 8mm thick. Weight: 9.89g.<\/p>\n
This is a common form of 16th century hooked tag, examples of which are often made of silver (e.g. SF-B4E5E7). Similar pieces in lead-alloy include BH-B02D33 and BH-DE6CE5.

A post-Medieval copper-alloy pipe tamper.<\/p>\n
The tamper is in the form of a three dimensional representation of a set of bellows. At the top are two downward-tapering, oval-sectioned handles, one of which has become bent. The upper and lower surfaces of the body are flat and inverted drop-shaped, while the space between them has two parallel ridges representing folds in the flexible central material. The bellows are shown as if open (ie. wider at the top, the thickness declining towards the bottom). A moulded double ring separates the body from the truncated-conical nozzle, at the base of which there is a further ring and groove.<\/p>\n
Dimensions: 50mm long, up to 11.3mm wide, 11.4mm thick. Weight: 18.61g.<\/p>\n\n

A copper-alloy headstud variant brooch, probably dating from the late 1st to 2nd century AD.<\/p>\n
The axis bar is contained within cylindrical wings, the pin, complete but bent, attached at a central slit. A circular headloop extends vertically upwards from the top of the head. The arched bow is of triangular section and has, at its centre, a circular moulding with concentric groove and central cell. This moulding divides the plain upper bow from the transversely grooved lower bow. There is a large 'V-shaped' footknob and an unperforated catchplate with rolled outer side.<\/p>\n
