Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy bridle bit, possibly dating to the late Iron Age to the Roman period (circa 100BC to 200AD). The object consists of two bars placed parallel with a central moulded collar which has been worn and thus less prominent.

A fragment of cast copper alloy spearhead dating from the Middle to Late Bronze Age (c. 1500BC-800BC). The fragment represents only the very tip of the spearhead and is heavily corroded. The loss of diagnostic features due to damage means it is impossible to assign this fragment to a precise type and date range. The spearhead fragment is triangular in plan, with an irregular terminating break 42.7mm below the tip. The majority of the original surface is missing along with the blade edges and original tip, but what remains is straight edges tapering to the tip, with a prominent midrib …

A hammered gold sheet of uncertain date. The sheet has a maximum length of 51.4mm, width of 39.3mm, 0.7mm thick and weighs 14.76g. The sheet is lacking any diagnostic features so the use and date cannot be determined. Small percussion marks on the surface indicate the sheet was intentionally flattened before being deposited, discarded, or lost. Due to the uncertainty of the date, the object is not considered Treasure under the Treasure Act 1996.

A probable corroded cast copper alloy casting jet or "gate". The object is roughly sub-trapezoidal in plan with a concave reverse and convex, domed top with two sub-rectangular sprue projections near the top. The surfaces are textured with pits from abrasion. This type of object is the result of casting into a mould and represents waste where molten bronze solidifies at the entrance of the mould around the gate and the casting channel/channels. Casting waste is difficult to date, and can potentially be prehistoric to post Medieval. The object may be Bronze Age in d…

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.
