An incomplete fragment from a cast copper alloy tankard handle dating to the Late Iron Age or early Roman period (150 BC - 200 AD). The fragment consists of the central element of the handle and is broken at both ends. Both the fixing / attachment plates are lost. The fragment is broadly elliptical / oval (vesica shaped) in plan and rectangular in cross section; it has been distorted by movement in the soil.

An incomplete cast copper alloy tankard handle of probable later Iron Age or very early Roman date (c. 150 BC - 100 AD). The handle has an openwork design that is similar to that seen on several tankards and can be paralleled against the design seen on mirror handles.
The handle is fragmentary consisting of the upper part only; the break on the lower edge is old and patinated suggesting damage in antiquity. In plan the handle is irregular being broadly sub-rectangular; in profile it is bowed with an even (elegant) curve; the cross section is irregular. The upper bow of the handle i…

Fragment of a piece of later prehistoric metalwork, most probably a later Iron Age terret ring. The fragment is irregular in plan and cross section; it curves and tapers slightly from a rectangular sectioned bar to an oval section at an angle of less than 30%. If it were from a terret ring this would fit with the transition from base to loop. The patina is a mid brown colour and has substantially laminated revealing the metal beneath which has corroded.
The fragment measures 31.2mm length, 8.7mm width and is 6.9mm thick; it weighs 7.31 grams
