Biconical lead steelyard weight. The remains of an iron bar running through from the apex of the weight to the base can be seen, but this is now heavily erroded. Several lines have been engraved into the weight, but none of these forms legible writing. The weight is whitish-brown in colour and fairly erroded. A number of similar globular and biconical examples have already been recorded on the database from Suffolk, including: SF-F6662B, SF-F66CC2, SF-F6878E, SF-03C88C. Crummy (1983, 101, no.2510) illustrates an example from Colchester of similar construction, but slightly differen…

Fragment of the base of a Roman Samian Ware vessel, probably of East Gaulish manufacture. Around a quarter of the base of the vessel survives, this rises slightly towards the centre of the upper face. On what would have been the inside of the vessel are what appears to be the letter M or W - the makers mark. There may have been other letters, though these are now illegible. The small size of the fragment makes it had to determine the shape of the original vessel. However, given its shape it may possibly belong to a plate or dish of Dragendorff form 15 to 31, dating to the mid 1st to m…

Small decorated fragment of the body of a Roman Samian Ware vessel, probably of East Gaulish manufacture, dating to the mid first to second century AD. The decoration consists of a raised curve, with a smaller curve above it to the right, followed by a strip containing an ovolo design above this.

Fragment of a copper alloy Roman buckle plate. Originally this appears to have consisted of two sheets of metal, folded in half to form two plates between which a strap could have been secured.

A portion of this folded part remains and a small part of one of the plates. However, the rest is missing. The fold is semi-circular and decorated with parallel grooved lines.
