A complete clear glass intaglio of Post-Medieval date. The intaglio is ovate in plan and D-shaped in section. It is engraved with the image of a crowned heart flanked by feathers or leaves. The intaglio is 8.6mm long, 7.6mm wide, 1.7mm thick and weighs 0.2g. Cufflinks and buttons with the design of a crowned heart are considered to have originally been produced to commemorate the marriage of Charles II to Catherine of Braganza in 1662, but continued to be used as a general symbol of love and marriage until the end of the century. A similar date is likely for this object.

A piece of window glass of Post-Medieval date. The piece is broadly a parallelogram in plan with a narrow rectangular section. The surface of the glass is degraded in a manner similar to that seen on plant ash glasses of the medieval to post-medieval periods, likely caused by general weathering. Finds Advisor Kevin Leahy states that the regular edges appear diamond cut rather than crozed as would be typical of earlier pieces. There are also no signs of fire rounding present. It is therefore likely that this piece dates to the late post-medieval period. The glass fragment is 23.…

A complete glass linen smoother of post-medieval date. The linen smoother is made of a black glass and is circular in plan with a sub-D-shaped section, being convex on one face and slightly flattened with a concave central element on the opposite.
