An unidentified copper alloy object of uncertain date (Roman to Early Post-Medieval, c. AD 1-1600). It measures 63.55x36.89x7.55mm and weighs 22.14g. The object consists of a long arm, from a which a shorter arm extends at 90degrees just over half way along. The reverse of the object is flat and rough. The longer arm is pelta-shaped in cross-section at one end, with two straight sides at right angles to each other (one being to the reverse of the object). At the end is a semi-circular knob (being flat to the reverse) beyond a deep grooved collar. The knob (4.95x5.08mm) has another…

Object type: WHETSTONE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of undatable whetstone, roughly rectangular in shape and cross-section. It measures 31.59x24.70x22.10mm and weighs 32.2g. It is made from a mica rich, fine grained and dense stone with irregular breaks. The whetstone is broken at both short ends. The faces are much smoother than the broken ends and have rounded corners. It is these which were probably used for resharpening blades of knives, scythes, axes and other tools. All the faces have cut marks on them. Stray finds of whetstones are notoriously difficult to date and only very few found out of context can be dated t…

Record ID: WILT-59D643
Object type: HAMMERSTONE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An undatable Hammerstone formed on a rounded flint nodule, measuring 53.71x40.25x39.22mm and weighing 108g. Just over half of the nodule has had the cortex removed, although this does survive at one (rounded) end. There are areas of use wear (battering) at the other end and along the sides, with unused areas also on the sides where the object was held in use. This object is probably prehistoric, but such stones have also been found in later contexts (e.g. Roman) and it is difficult to be certain of the date. Date: Prehistoric (Mesolithic to Bronze Age) - c 8300 - 800 BC.

Record ID: WILT-8A4DD4
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of a gold unidentified object of unknown date. It measures 14.70x9.73x4.27mm and weighs 5.54g. The fragment is broken at either short end, the thinner of which looks a little bent and is sharper, as though it has been cut. The wider end is smoother. In cross section these ends are rectangular with rounded edges and measure 9.43x4.27mm and 9.73x1.66m. The long edges are slightly chamfered on either face. In profile, the fragment is triangular in shape.

Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An undatable (but probably Medieval to Post-Medieval) copper alloy multi-purpose ring, variously both square and D-shaped in cross-section, and measuring 26.84mm in diameter (internal 19.08mm) and weighing 3.4g. All surfaces of the ring show tooling marks and it is in places unfinished with an uneven casting flash. The patina is smooth, shiny and brown in colour where it survives, suggesting it has rubbed against a leather strap. Rings like these are numerous and would have been multi-purpose, eg.for hanging keys from a belt etc.

A copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date, measuring 37.64x34.05x23.32mm and weighing 149.66g. It is roughly cuboid in shape with a rough underside and a narrowing hole 15.5mm deep on the opposite face. On three of the sides is an uneven groove c.3mm wide and max.4mm deep. The sides are smooth but bumpy and pitted. Inside the hole, which is max.14.99mm in diameter and narrowing to an assumed point, are tiny concentric grooves. The metal has an ancient feel to it, although the grooves inside the hole may suggest otherwise (although it should be pointed out they are not s…

The ring is brown in colour with a…
