Fragment of cast copper alloy Iron Age/Romano-British unidentified object. Loop with round aperture and D-shaped exterior. The exterior of the straight side of the D is original and is continuous with one broad face of the loop. The opposing edge of the straight side is missing, as are both ends. Dark green patination covers all areas not subject to ancient or recent damage. Fractures suggest the metal is brittle. Width 10.5mm. Length >15.5mm. Thickness 5.5mm.

Fragment of Iron Age or Romano-British openwork unidentified object. At one end a spherical lobe with round recess partly filled with white material, possibly fixative for a missing setting, the other end is broken at a bifurcation or channel, which lines up with a small groove in lobe. In the centre a curved aperture is similar to those in a scabbard chape from Brough, Westmorland (MacGregor 1976 cat. no. 165.)

Iron Age U-section cast unidentified object decorated on outer face with moulded groove along both curved edges and two probably engraved lines curving from end to end and touching in the centre. Length 14mm. In section 10mm wide and 7.5mm high. Similar in form, but not in decoration, to objects from Burlingham (HER 18299), Heacham (HER 37217) and East Walton (HER 30041).

Fragment of Iron Age/Romano-British unidentified object, cast D-section rod, broken at both ends. At one slightly bent end two groups of four obliquely set grooves. Next to these three transverse ribs from which a low triangular moulding stretches to the break. Along the centre of this a median channel containing a wavy line moulding in counter-relief. This motif is found on the bows of some 1st century brooches, e.g. Hattatt no.252. Length >22mm. Width 10mm. Thickness 3 - 4mm. Perhaps 1st century.

Iron-Age U-section cast unidentified object decorated on outer face with moulded groove along both curved edges and two addorsed curving or elongated C-shaped grooved mouldings that reach from one end to the other. Length 9.5mm, in section 7mm x 6mm. Part of one edge missing. Form and decoration very similar to three out of five objects found in the 1980s at Burlingham (HER 18299), which were left imprecisely dated (“BA/IA/RB”) at the time, and to a recent find from Heacham (HER 37217).

Late Iron Age or early Roman copper alloy unidentified object dating to the period c. 100 BC - AD 100. Discoidal in shape with an incomplete, rectangular-sectioned projection on one side. The front exhibits a symmetrical design consisting of a reserved oval with a central circular recessed cell and two opposed reserve tendrils, each with a circular recessed cell. The three circular recesses and the surrounding recessed fields are filled with red enamel. The edge of the plate forms a reserve border.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy curvilinear unidentified object of probable Iron Age or Roman date. Only part of one terminal survives, the remainder of the object is missing due to old breaks, now worn. It is oval in section. As the object curves round it is bent upwards and terminates with an expanding oval knop. The opposite end terminates in old breaks. This object measures 28.82mm in length, 6.51mm in diameter at the knop, 6.08mm in diameter at the break, 5.35g in weight.

Corroded and incomplete Iron Age copper alloy unidentified object, cast globular and button-like, with three bosses around a concave-sided triangle. There is a concave scoop on the reverse and a blind hole containing the remains of a circular-sectioned shank and traces of possible solder. Slight dent in side. Diam.12mm. Height 9mm. Weight 5.47g. The concave-sided triangular motif is found on the heads of linch pins but the object perhaps bears some relation to a sword fitting from Wigtownshire (MacGregor 1976, no.173). 1st century BC/AD.

Incomplete copper alloy handle of an unidentified object, perhaps Late Iron Age or early Roman. A loop at the proximal end has worn internally to an oval. The main extant part is waisted before a break. On one face there are lines of punched rectangular and triangular impressions. The surface is patinated to a dark brown colour and is pitted, with some pits being confused with punched decoration. Extant length 27.8mm. Width 11mm. Thickness 3.5 - 3.8mm.

Iron Age or Roman copper alloy incomplete and unidentified object: slightly more than one third of a heavily cast and apparently incomplete round-sectioned ring with a globular lobe projecting at right angles. Both ends have been broken at an acute angle, and there are indications at the breaks that they coincide with a change of thickness or even alignment. External diameter (estimated for an annular object) 45mm. Diameter of hoop 7mm. No parallel noted.

Incomplete Iron Age copper alloy object: of three round-sectioned joining arms only one is complete. It curves to a globular terminal which is decorated with moulded knobs, grooves and two small blind holes. Of the other two arms one is little more than a stump (perhaps newly broken) while the other has begun to curve before the old break. On one face of the junction there are strong ribbed mouldings, some decorated with transverse grooves, and on the other a large round blind hole or socket that might once have held a boss in another material. Scuffing has removed the patinated surfa…

Probably Iron Age copper alloy unidentified object, apparently complete, cylindrical, swelling in the centre and at both ends. One end is flat and set obliquely to the long axis, and the other is set in two planes which slope downwards to the centre. Decoration consists of encircling engraved grooves, two groups of three flanking a single one at the centre, and a pair next to the latter end. Length 19.5mm. Diameter 7 - 8.7mm. Weight 5.83g. Perhaps 4th century BC - mid 1st century AD. (field RG1)

Incomplete Late Iron Age or Early Roman copper alloy flat-backed unidentified object. A D-sectioned rod broken at one end runs between, and bifurcates to curl partly around, two integral comma-shaped elements on both of which a crescentic cell was probably once inlaid with enamel. The break is of uncertain age due to the presence of recent scuffing. Possibly a mount or harness pendant. Extant length 28.7mm. Width 29mm. Thickness 2.9 - 5.5mm. Weight 10.13g. 1st century BC - 1st century AD.

Incomplete copper alloy object of probable Late Iron Age to Roman date (c. 150 BC - AD 100). Around the circumferences are a series of moulded transverse lips.On one face is a circumferential ridge running around a recessed area 23mm in diameter with a circular pierced boss in the centre. The perforation passes through to the opposite face where it is enclosed by the remains of a square shank or boss. The hole and the surrounding area are fitted with corroded iron. The opposite face is entirely flat and undecorated. No parallel could be found for this object. The lipped decoration…

Copper alloy unidentified Iron Age artefact. The object consists of a moulded tapering scrolled tendril that expands at its internal end into a leaf like form. A groove runs within the contour of the scroll giving a moulded profile. The horn-shaped exterior end has a central pimple with a surrounding recess and is reminiscent of an enamel cell, albeit there is no trace extant. The outside of the scroll just back from the end has a 10mm long groove flanked on either side by a circular depression. The depression is currently blind but it is possible there is a means of attachment such …

Fragment of unidentified copper alloy artefact probably horse harness related. It consists of a raised hollow backed conical boss with three radial flat spokes extant on the undamaged edge quadrant of the boss. Two of the spokes join to form a V where they meet the boss, the third is wider and damaged to one side. All three spokes terminate in old breaks at their ends. The metal is relatively thick at 3mm and the object has been initially cast to shape. The fragment is well patinated including all of the broken surfaces. The patina is a fine lustrous unbroken dark brown to green of a …
