An early-medieval copper alloy brooch dating to the late 5th or early 6th century. Only the headplate and upper bow survive; these may indicate the brooch is of the 'small long' type. The headplate is rectangular and is decorated with a recessed border containing a row of moulded pellets. A circular hole is located at each angle. The upper bow has a pair of moulded transverse grooves; the bow is incomplete thereafter. The back of the brooch has two copper alloy pierced lugs with an iron axis bar between them.

The apex is missing, as is the upper part of one of the large side faces. This face bears an openwork design comprising at least two sub-oval apertures. The damage suffered by the apex makes it difficult to determine the original openwork design; however, it is possible that it picks out a crouching beast or similar motif. Feint incised or moulded lines also appear to suggest a beast though the surface is very worn. Th…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An Early Mediveal copper alloy escutcheon from a Late Celtic hanging bowl of Bruce-Mitford Type B or C (Bruce-Mitford 2005, 11).

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Treasure reference 2018 T364: a small fragment of a silver object of unknown function. The object is flat and has been cut on all sides and now takes on a sub-rectangular shape. The surface is worn and scratched on both sides. An oval shaped indentation is visible off-centre on one side, which has pushed the metal into a convex oval on one side. The object has no dating evidence itself, but is from a known Early-Medieval productive site and is probably evidence for silverworking of that date. In light of the context of the site the object is probably Early Medieval, circa 800-900.
