An incomplete cast lead alloy harness mount dating from about the late Post-Medieval to early Modern periods (1750-1900). The mount is a circular disc of lead alloy which is probably part of a Post-Medieval bridle boss. The edges have broken and crumbled; the body has been slightly bent out of shape. The front is decorated with a raised (probably applied) central scrollwork motif (possibly the letter S). The reverse has wear marks and the remnants of two spikes are present. The mount has a creamy brown and grey patina. A likely parallel for this object may be seen at PAS record ID: SWYOR-E6DFE5.<\/p>\n

A cast copper alloy Palstave dating from the middle part of the Bronze Age (about 1700 BC - 1400 BC), the Arreton or Acton Park phase<\/p>\n
The palstave has an even green patina with pitting on the surface. The total (incomplete) length of the axehead is 132.6mm, with the blade (from the edge to the stop) comprising 78.56mm length and the septum\/butt measuring 54mm in length. The flanges have a maximum breadth of 20.3mm. At its widest, the blade is 44.1mm in breadth from tip to tip.<\/p>\n
The blade is narrow and tapering and the axe is narrow and unlooped; The butt is broken. The axe has a well defined, rounded stop-ridge on both sides rising at right angles to the septum. The side flanges are damaged, particularly on one face where recent unpatinated damage shows that the flanges have recently broken off. The blade is narrow and trapezoidal, widening gently to the cutting edge, with little added flare to the tips. The blade faces of early midribbed palstaves generally have raised edges, as if continuing the line of flanges below the stop (see: \"The Axes of Scotland and Northern England\", Schmidt and Burgess, 1981, p.126) but this feature is not present on the palstave recorded here. There is no shield like depression below the stop. The patina inside the septum is a smooth and brown layer, the butt end of which has flaked off. The butt is damaged, but looks as if it would have been rounded.<\/p>\n
Compare NCL-8C1FE2 and LANCUM-D90642.<\/p>\n
Two Bronze Age spear heads are recorded on the West Yorkshire HER from the same neighbourhood as this palstave, but they are later in date, being from the Penard (1300 BC - 1140 BC) or Wallington 1140 BC - 1020 BC) traditions.

A copper alloy seal matrix probably of late Medieval to Post Medieval date. The matrix is unusual in not having a handle cast in one with the matrix face. All that survives is a flat disc of copper alloy with the seal matrix carved on one face. The edges are corroded and worn which unfortunately makes the legend illegible apart from the initial \"S\" standing for 'Sigillum' meaning 'seal of'. The design is a motif similar to a thrift flower as seen on George VI three pence pieces, or maybe a thistle. It has a single central stem dividing into three with a circular cross hatched flower head at the end of each stem. At each side of the stem is a key. The complexity of the design suggests is unusual for a personal seal and may be a merchant's privy mark. On the reverse there is slightly different patination in the middle of the disc, perhaps suggesting that the matrix face was soldered to some form of handle. There are also two circular depressions near the middle of the disc which may be a further clue to the way it was mounted.

It is a two part pendant, consisting of an outer circle of metal with two short, straight extensions to a suspension loop, which is now broken Between the two extensions is a short, transverse pin from which hangs a sexfoil shaped pendant with a central hole. This was free-swinging but is now locked by corrosion products. The petal attaching the central flower to the pin is larger than the other five. The inner edge of the outer circle is scalloped to accommodate the petals of the flower. There are traces of gilt remaining on the upper surface of the pendant; the underside is plain. It is 32.9mm long, 19mm wide, and 5.3mm thick. It weighs 5.3gm. A similar example is HAMP-CAE922 on the data base. Harness pendants are generally dated from the twelfth to the fourteenth century, with circular and openwork examples predominating the twelfth century, more varied types in the thirteenth and fourteenth century including the enamelled and heraldic types more commonly (Griffiths, 1995, \u2018The Medieval Horse and its Equipment\u2019).
