A copper alloy bridle bit, possibly dating to the late Iron Age to the Roman period (circa 100BC to 200AD).

An incomplete copper-alloy button and loop fastener. The button is a small circular frame whose top edge has a raised border surrounding a recessed circular cell.  The cell looks to have originally been filled with a read enamel, although only traces remain around the edges. On the undersides is the shank of the loop, this bends round at a 90-degree angle away from the button element of the artefact, before expanding into an oval loop.

Roman copper alloy trumpet brooch that has an oval head plate surmounted by a truncated loop. On the reverse are two rearward facing perforated lug that holds the spring support bar, the spring and pin looks to have been made from iron as this area is heavily encrusted in Fe corrosion. The bow would emanate from the front of the head plate but is truncated.
