Cylindrical lead object potentially an ox knob dating to the post medieval period (c.AD 1700-1900). The cylindrical object is made from lead and has a grey/cream patina. There are two crudely made holes either side of the base that are different sizes and irregularly shaped potentially used for a screw/nail to pass through there are irregularly spaced and made grooves or incises on the outer surface of the object between 5-6mm in length. The object has a grey/cream patina and both surfaces are smooth.  The object is similar to SWYOR-96CC57 and LVPL-EFC799.

Cylindrical lead and iron object, potentially an ox knob dating to the Post-Medieval period (c.AD 1700-1900). The cylindrical object is made from lead and has a grey/cream patina ,but two iron well corroded fragments extend from either side of its base and fill the opening in its base that have an orange/brown colour.  This may be a corroded nail/screw that was used to fasten the knob onto the horn of an animal through two holes either side of the object.  The object is similar to SWYOR-96CC57 and LVPL-EFE349.

A small lump of lead with a crudely ovoid piece of bluish-green glass included into its upper surface, giving the impression of a fish eye. The object has a flat base and an oval outline when viewed from above, the lead forming a ring around the glass. A brown substance is present underneath and around the glass, though whether this is an adhesive or a different lead corrosion product from the white powdery oxide of the rest of the surface is uncertain.

An unidentified piece of cast copper-alloy decoration, probably Iron Age or Roman. The entire piece is composed of swirling curvilinear shapes that are convex on the upper side and concave below. There are three main lobes it can be separated into; a 'j' shaped upper curve, and an 'r' shaped middle section whichconnects this to the final section which is a single loop circular spiral. A thin strip connects the 'j' to the spiral on the outer side. The piece is similar to NMS-E567C8 and LVPL172 in morphology, but appears more complete than either. Completeness is hard to assess, howe…

An unidentified copper-alloy object, possibly Roman and also possibly part of a fastening or fitting. The object is a long curvilinear cylinder, near-ovoid in cross-section, one end of which is clearly an old break and the other is possibly a zoomorphic head. Five rings are arranged serially behind it across the deepest curved section. A knop, possibly also zoomorphic but most likely foliate, projects out above a depression.
