Cast copper alloy rumbler bell of probable late medieval or post medieval date (1400-1600). The bell is sub-circular in plan and profile with an integral cast sub-rectangular projection which has been pierced at the end to form a suspension loop. The body of the bell is irregular having been broken by movement in the ploughsoil. The upper hemi-sphere of the bell is cast in one piece with four projections extending from the lower edge forming the lower half of the bell. These have been lost but would have been folded to form a hollow sphere. The sub-rectangular projection on the upp…
