Lead spindle whorl. Cast plano-convex whorl with central moulded aperture of diameter 9mm, Walton Rogers form A1. Patinated overall.

Lead spindle whorl. A small cast hemispherical whorl with a central moulded apereture of diameter 7.5mm, Walton Rogers form A1; patinated. The mass could suggest a primary function spinning a fine yarn, while the spindle-hole size would admit an Anglo-Saxon date. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 700-850 Diameter: 21.5mm, Thickness: 4.5mm, Weight: 10.68gms

Copper alloy brooch. Disc brooch. Cast concavo-convex brooch with stub of a swivelling pin and pin rest on reverse. An indistinct decorative scheme comprises four elements of interlace, probably connected to each other. The crude casting, decorative elements and the dark brown colour of the object are all typical of mundane or lower status Anglo-Scandinavian metalwork from the region. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 850-1050. Diameter: 24.9mm, Thickness (clear of pin): 2.6mm, Weight: 5.43gms.

Copper alloy cast openwork mount; though perhaps from a zoomorphic design, this is now unclear; the object tapers from a broader end with two apertures towards a narrower end, and is broken at both its ends. It appears likely a separate element is fused to one end of this object, suggesting both to have been part-melted. Suggested date: Early Medieval to Medieval, 900-1100.

Copper alloy pin head. Cast facetted pin head, with a polyhedral head of square section, with triangular facets at the corners; there is no collar between the head and the residual stub of the shaft, indicating this to be of Type 2 as defined at Early Medieval Flixborough (N. Rogers 2009, in Evans and Loveluck [eds], pages 34 and 51), where it is probably of 8th-century date, though many examples were residual in later contexts. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 700-850. Height: 14.4mm, Width: 7.4mm, Thickness: 6.4mm, Weight: 2.68gms.

Copper alloy, ferrous staining, stirrup mount. Cast and slightly curved flat-backed pentagonal plate tapering from a broader oval end to a narrower apex bearing a round hole of diameter 3.9mm. Williams Class A, Type 12.The display surface is decorated with six bosses flanking a central boss, with sunken areas between them. The intention was probably zoomorphic though in its worn condition the present effect is vaguely floral, and might suggest a later Viking Age or Romanesque date. Ferrous staining on the back of the object, at its broader end, show it was attached to iron when lost o…

Lead spindle whorl. Cast flattened and irregularly plano-convex whorl with round off-centre; the aperture is 7mm in diameter on the convex side, but countersunk to a diameter of 11mm on the flat side, which would normally be uppermost when a spindle whorl was in use. The small hole may suggest a Roman date, but the plano-convex form to which this object may be related is often associated with Viking Age finds. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 850-1000. Diameter: 33.5mm, Height: 6.8mm, Weight: 37.43gms.

Lead spindle whorl. Cast plano-convex whorl with rounded aperture of diameter 11.6mm. The plano-convex form may imitate that of bone femur head whorls, a type especially common in Viking Age contexts. A V-section object measuring about 15mm by 7mm, perhaps a knife blade, has been pushed into this hole from the flat upper side of the whorl (as used). Suggested date: Early Medieval, 850-1100.

Copper alloy with gilding mount fragment. Cast flat backed plate in the form of the head of a bird with curving bill, probably one of a symetrically addorsed pair, as adduced by ragged broken edges behind the body. An eye is defined naturalistically in relief, as is a nostril at the top of the beak, but the neck and upper body afford fields for curvilinear interlaced ornament, each strand of which comprises paired ridges highlighted by deeply incised (or appearing thus) gutters between them. Dr Kevin Leahy kindly identifies this piece as of Salin Style 2, and as such an indication of …

Copper Alloy buckle frame. Cast D-shaped buckle of plano-convex section with a narrowed strap bar for a belt of 11mm width and simply moulded terminals for the frame where it meets the strap bar. A sunken pin rest appears opposite this. Incised decoration comprises closely spaced horizontal and diagonal lines on the main part of frame, positioned as if radiating from the base of the pin (which is now lost), and perhaps further emphasis of the moulded terminals.

Copper alloy, and organic material, possibly pitch. Possible stirrup mount fragment. Cast openwork plate with three upper lobes, and two lower lobes defining a further feature (now lost). The larger upper lobe bears a round off-centre aperture of diameter 4.2mm. A crudely incised border surrounds this aperture and is carried further across the surface, though remaining only in better preserved areas. This may derive from a scheme of zoomorphic decoration, though this cannot be reconstructed. Elsewhere, where the original surface is lost, metal displays a brown tinge typical of Anglo-S…

The object is a single fused lump, comprising at least four separate items fused together by heat, probably in the process of metalworking. There is a cut-halfpenny of medieval date, on which only the lower part of the bust is visible. This is not enough to assign a type with any certainty, but appears to be late Anglo-Saxon or Norman. There are two broken fragments from what appears to be the same strip of silver, with traces of lettering, and of gilding, which is probably a medieval finger-ring. A partially melted piece of silver binding these three together is probably another cut …

This sherd was kindly identified by Wallace Collyer of the Community Archaeology Programme; his suggestion of an Anglo-Saxon date was kindly confirmed by Dr Kevin Leahy.
