Copper alloy pin fragments. Three fragments from the round-section shanks of pins are considered likely, in the light of accompanying material, to be of Middle Saxon or later date, though, lacking heads or any variation in form, they defy classification. The thicker shank is probably early and possibly cast, while the thinner shanks are probably drawn wire and of later date. Suggested date: Unknown, Early Medieval to Post-Medieval, 700-1600.

Notes:
The finder suggests this to be part of an assemblage amounting to c.5% of material recovered from an extensive site, the rest being removed illicitly without record. Archaeological opinion holds the site to have been of equivalent character to Flixborough, North Lincolnshire, in terms of its material culture. Coins are under-represented in the group
