Cast copper alloy votive model probably of a miniature wheel dated to the Late Bronze Age or Early - Middle Iron Age (1000-200 BC). The wheel is broadly sub-circular in plan with a drilled and filed internal division forming four radiating spokes. The rim of the wheel is oval in cross section; however, it varies in thickness around its circumference. This variation is accentuated by areas of adhering iron rich soil / iron pan from the wetland burial environment. The spokes merge with the centre of the inner edge of the wheel. Each of the four spokes is circular and arranged evenly aro…

Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Telford and Wrekin
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy 'miniature or small' knobbed terret ring of probable later Iron Age or early Roman date (100 BC - 200 AD). Approximately 1/4 of the terret survives, originally it would have been D shaped or an irregular slightly angular pentangle in plan; it is now an irregular crescent (C shape). The cross section varies in shape along the length of the terret; for the majority it is D shaped.

Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Telford and Wrekin
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast composite copper alloy bow brooch of probable later Iron Age or possible early Roman date (150 BC - 100AD). The brooch is formed from several pieces which have been assembled to form the brooch; this is a very unusual manufacturing technique, one which must have been relatively labour intensive. The head plate of the brooch is broadly sub-triangular. Attached to the reverse of the head plate is another similarly shaped plate whose edges are rolled over to form a slight lip; it is suggested that the pin and hinge / spring were fitted to this by an unknown means. It i…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy bovine (bulls head) vessel / bucket mount dated to the late Iron Age / Early Roman period 300 BC – 300 AD.
