A cast copper-alloy bead of uncertain date, probably Middle Bronze Age to Late Iron Age (c. 1500 - 50 BC). It is lentoid in section with a large central circular perforation with an inner diameter of 5.1 mm. The surfaces have the remains of a very worn brown-green patina as well as large areas of active copper-alloy corrosion. The patina suggests a Bronze Age date, however without contextual association it is not possible to confidently assign an accurate date.

A cast copper-alloy bead of Bronze Age or later date. It is biconical in form with flattened top and bottom with a large central circular perforation with an inner diameter of 7.2mm. The surfaces have the remains of a very worn dark green patina as well as large areas of active copper-alloy corrosion; one side of the bead has more patina remaining than the other. This bead could be of Bronze Age or later date, with the patina suggesting a Bronze Age date, however without contextual association it is not possible to confidently assign an accurate date.

A worn but complete copper alloy annular object, probably a bead, of uncertain date. The bead has a flat interior and bevelled outer, giving it a D-shaped profile. On the outer edge of the D, or the rised central ridge of the outer hoop, numerous linear indentations are set vertically across the width of the hoop, giving a crenellated appearance, although now worn. Several similar beads, all undecorated, have been recorded on this database including SF-B53242, LIN-E32586 and KENT-A047F2, while BERK-CFAA71 were found a few miles from this example. Beads such as these were in use over a…

Two copper alloy annular beads of unknown date. The beads both have a D-shaped cross section and have a large roughly central perforation. Unfortunately this style of bead was current over many centuries, however given the style of the beads and their findspot a date range of the later Iron Age to Early-medieval period would seem most likely. Several similar beads have been recorded on this database, including SF-B53242 and LIN-E32586. The larger bead measures 14.39mm in diameter and the smaller measures 12.80mm diameter.
