A lead alloy object of uncertain date, likely Medieval to Post Medieval (c. AD 1100-1800).

There is no other decoration on the object and it has a largely grey patina.

An incomplete, copper alloy object of likely Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1100-1800).
The object is made from a copper alloy sheet. It is roughly sub square in plan, and is decorated on both sides.

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead token of Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1300-1700).
The token is largely circular in plan, though one end is slightly pointed. It is uniface, with the obverse being decorated with a central rib with seven pairs of ribs branching off from it. This design is vaguely reminiscent of that found on SWYOR-5AD1E4, which is categorised as Powell Type 17, thus meaning that this is likely also a Powell Type 17 token. The reverse is flat and undecorated and the object has a pale cream patina.

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete, lead alloy token of Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1300-1700).
The token is roughly shield shaped, though there does seem to be a small segment missing from one of the upper corners. The token is uniface, with the obverse having seven moulded ribs radiating from a point and forming segments. This would mean that it conforms to the classification of Powell Type 3. The reverse is undecorated and flat. The object has a cream coloured patina.

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead token of Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1300-1700).
The design on the obverse of the token depicts hatching or a grid with an external raised rim around the edge of the obverse, which would be classified as Powell Type 7. The reverse of the token is largely undecorated, though there is a single raised rib running across part of the reverse. Parts of the obverse are folded over back on itself, such as around 1 o'clock, 3 o'clock, and from half past 10 to 12 o'clock. There is a bend in the token across the obverse from half past 1 to half past 7, which res…

Object type: RING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy ring, likely a horse harness ring dating from the Roman to Post-Medieval era (AD 43-1800). Due to the nature of the find, it is hard to accurately date it unless found in a specific archaeological context.
The ring is roughly circular and has an external diameter of 31.52mm and an internal diameter of 23.33mm. The band width is 4.44mm and the thickness is 4.11mm, however it does vary across the ring likely due to wear from use. It has a roughly sub rectangular cross section.
It has a light green patina and there are no visible signs of decoration.

An incomplete, copper alloy Ottoman coin of Modern date from the reign of Mahmud II and dates to his 26th regnal year (c. AD 1832-1833). There is a circular perforation at 1 o'clock on the obverse with a diameter of 1.61mm, which would suggest that this was potentially worn as a pendant or medallion - see SWYOR-899DF4 and DUR-B76A8F for coins from the reign of Mahmud II that have been reused as pendants. It is likely a 5 kurus coin made from billon, which would weigh between 13-16g and be around 39mm in diameter.
