An incomplete copper-alloy Early-Medieval cruciform bow brooch, only the terminal of the foot survives and even this is incomplete having a break at either end. None of the foot's flat panel survives. A worn transverse break is present at what would originally have been the junction between the, now missing, flat panel and a raised moulding of transverse ribs that does survive. This moulding has a semi-circular cross-section, width of 14.9mm x thickness 6.1mm and measures 6.1mm on the artefact's length axis. Just past this proximal break, the reverse surface becomes concave. P…

A lead weight enclosed in an open-work copper-alloy casing surround. This artefact dates from the late Early-Medieval to early Medieval period. This weight has a sub-spherical shape with a diameter of 32.4mm and height of 25.2mm. Four open-work sub-lozenge shapes, in the copper casing, are, approximately equally, spaced around the mid-point of the circumference. These range in size from 12.9mm x11.3mm to 15.8mm x 13.4mm. The lead fills the copper casing and comes level with these lozenges or stops concave from the layer of copper-alloy surrounding the lozenges. This gives the artef…

Description: Flat, roughly rectangular cast silver ingot, with rounded corners, rounded edges. The underside has a rougher texture where it was exposed to the air during the casting process. The object has a small modern abrasion visible at one end. There is what appears to be a slight cut into the top surface, which from the patination appears to have occurred in antiquity, but the form of this suggests that this was probably accidental rather than deliberate. A small nick is visible on edge, and it is unclear whether this represents deliberate edge nicking, a common form of testing…
