The two pebbles are of differing sizes but each have a single pierced hole which is perforated diagonally from one edge to the other. Both holes differ in size and do not seem to be drilled, in that there profile does not conform to the usual (egg-timer) shape. There also seems to be little wear on the holes. It has been suggested by the finder that they may be beads and this is a possibility, the discovery of them together also increases the likelihood of this idea.
Pebble 1 measures 22.7mm length, 13.8mm width, is 14.4mm thick and weighs 9.34 grams. The hole has a diameter of 4.5mm
Pebble 2 measures 20.5mm length, 14.2mm width, is 13.6mm thick and weighs 4.84 grams. The hole has a diameter of 3.6mm

An incomplete cast lead alloy (or possibley copper alloy with high tin content) artefact, of unknown post Roman date (50 - 1800AD). The object is most probably the sprue / casrting well from the vent of a mould and theerfore attributed to casting waste / casting by-product.
The object is shaped like a four sided pyramid with rounded edges. It is undecorated and light grey in colour. It has a smooth well formed patina except on some of the faces where abrasion has occured. At the top of the pyramid is a projecting cylindrical stump, this is where the runner / jet of the casting was removed.
The object is 12.7mm long, 10.3mm wide, 7.4mm high and weighs 3.0g.

An iron hooked artefact of unknown date. The hooked terminal is well formed. It is irregular in width and thickness along its length. The hooked part is sub-rectangular and relatively thin in section. It is uniform along its length and expands dramatically at the junction with the integral spike which is triangular in plan and rectangular in cross section. The end of the spike is lost. A direct parallel has not been found. It is possible due to the nature of the site that these are Roman in date although due to the nature of the artefact type and its longevity it is very difficult to date specifically. A broad date range of 50 AD - 1850 is suggested. The hook is a mid brown orange colour with encrusted and laminating surfaces.
The hook measures: 109.2mm length. The hook is 20.1mm width, 5.2mm thick; the spike is 9.2mm wide and 16.5mm thick. It weighs 83.1 grams.

Two pieces of copper alloy industrial waste or slag, of probable Medieval dating (11th to 15th Century).
1: measures 53.9mm in length, 29.9mm wide and 10.7mm thick. It weighs 32.2 grams.
2: measures 31.0mm in length, 22.6mm wide and 25.7mm thick. It weighs 13.7 grams.
Together both pieces weigh 45.9 grams.
Both pieces are consistent with the waste produced as part of the copper smelting process, which did not significantly change from the Bronze Age through the Late Medieval period. However these fragments are more likely to be Medieval in date, as more Medieval copper alloy finds have been found in the vicinty of these pieces.

A cast lead alloy mount in the form of a stylished fish or dolphin. The dolphin has an arched back, with the slightly forked tail bending round to meet the back. This is very similar to Roman depictions of the dolphin. Under the head, it is flattened to form a basic base, it is possible that this area formed an attachment area to another object. The casting seam is visible on the internal curve of the arched back.
It measures 48.63mm in length, 34.64mm height and is 11.64mm thick. It weighs 59.2 grams.

A cast copper alloy object of unknown date and function.
It is rectangular in plan, and section. The upper surface exhibits a central V shaped groove down the length of the object. A central solitary projection (2.86mm wide, 4.08mm tall) is present next to the edge of the groove. The lower surface is undulating and uneven. Pitting is present. It does not appear to have been cast into a mould.
It is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Along the edges, patches are present where the bare metal is visible. This could be the result of over-handling or enthusastic cleaning.
It measures 30.06mm in length, 18.72mm wide and 11.52mm tall. The base is 7.59mm thick. It weighs 24.3 grams.
A direct parallel for this object has not yet been found. It is possibly the casting jet, from the bronze casting process or a bronze ingot for another purpose, or it could be a form of gaming counter. It is probably of Post Medieval dating (c1650 to c1850).

An incomplete, cast lead weight with iron hook or loop, of unknown date.
This large weight has a flat top and bottom, and is sub-oval in cross-section, tapering out from bottom to top. It has suffered much abrasion due to its size, which may account for it only having one area of creamy patina (on its top) and it being mishaped.
Off centre in the top is the stub of an iron hook or loop, which is oval in cross-section (8.0mm by 10.5mm)
The weight was found about 15 metres from a corner of the field marked as a hop yard on the 1841 tithe map.
Its top is 45mm by 42mm, its bottom is 34mm by 30mm and it is 36mm tall. It weighs approximately 400g (14 Ounces).

A complete copper alloy rod of uncertain date, possibly Roman or Medieval in date. The artefact has a circular cross section at the end with the perforation and a square cross section at the other end. The perforation is just below the tip. The artefact is possibly a stylus, styluses do appear in copper alloy, the end usual tapers, there are no examples with a perforation. A pendant weight has also been suggested, the examples on the database are often lead and of a medieval date.
The artefact is 70.6mm in length, 6.35mm thick and weighs 13.1 grams.

It is likely that this artefact dates from the Roman period (and was found in association with a group of coins dating to the late Roman period 250-410 AD). The artefact is cast in one piece and is in the shape of a broad circular disc with two small rounded lug shaped knops which extend from opposite edges. The disc itself is relatively flat and sub-rectangular in cross section. The two knops are lentoid (sub-oval) in cross section and circular in profile. The upper face of the disc has been decorated with a series of cast radiating concentric circles. These extend from the centre of the object. The two knops also have a circumferential recessed groove around the longest edge. An irregular rectangular shaped piece of metal has been removed from the centre of the artefact using the radiating circles as a guide. The edges of the rectangle are irregular and seem to have been formed with a saw or file. The reverse face is plain and undecorated. There are a number of file marks present and this may be from the artefact being finished post casting.
The object is a mid green colour with an even slightly abraded patina which covers all surfaces. This suggests that the rectangular hole was cut in antiquity. A direct parallel or function for this artefact has not been found. It is possible that it may have been a lid or similar type object but this cannot be proved.
The artefact measures 51.5mm length, 34mm width, 7.1mm thick (central disc is 2.1mm thick) and weighs 9.83 grams.

Cast copper alloy fragment of unknown object dating from the later Bronze Age - Post Medieval period 1500 BC - 1600 AD. The object is broken and much abraded; it consists of a tapering L shaped section which also thickens along its length. The edge of the object has a rolled coroner and it is possible that this may be a socket of some sort. It is irregular in plan and profile. There is no decoration present and the inner and outer surfaces are similarly patinated. The large date range is due to the incompleteness of the object, the two most probable artefacts it is from is either a Bronze Age socketed artefact (although this is tentative) or more likely a medieval bronze vessel, such as a skillet or cauldron. The corrosion products and colour of the metal would suggest either of these were a possibility. The artefact is a mid- light green colour with a much corroded and abraded patina which covers all surfaces. There are several areas of black coloured surface present and this may indicated that the artefact has been in a fire or sooted area. It measures 45.4mm length, is 26.7mm maximum width, is 9.2mm maximum thickness, and weighs 21.32 grams.

The function of the ring is unknown, being too slight for functional harness and too large for a finger ring. The ring is circular in plan and has a distinct angular sub-triangular cross section. It has broken / cracked in one place; it is likely that this is relatively recent damage. The width of the ring is relatively uniform; on one internal edge are the partial remains of casting residue. This residue has been trimmed and filed but a distinct thickening is present. There is also an uneven line running around the inner circumference of the ring, probably the remains of the casting flash where the two sides of the mould conjoined. There is no decoration on the outer edge; although there is an incomplete incised line present on the upper edge of one face of the ring, as it is incomplete it is difficult to interpret being decorative or functional. It is also possible that the internal edge of the ring is worn suggesting that it may have been a belt ring used to tighten or secure a belt; being so slight it is possibly part of personal dress.
The ring has a well preserved thick patina which is a mid brown colour. A direct parallel for this type of ring has not been found and the dating is suggested by the surface patina alone. Functional rings made from metal are found from all periods and therefore with out decorative motifs they are difficult to date. The ring measures 30.3mm diameter, is 4.9mm wide and 3.3mm thick, it has and internal diameter of 23.2mm and weighs 5.33 grams.

The ingots are all similar in form being broadly sub-rectangular in plan and faceted; each ingot has a different number of sides but all seem to be deliberately hammered or cast. The long sides of each ingot taper and expand forming a number of pre-defined smaller ingots; in shape they are similar to a string of beads or string of sausages. The space between each ingot seems to have a square shaped cross section, suggesting that each miniature ingot was of a predesigned functional size. Each ingot is a mid brown green colour with an even, but abraded patina. The patina would suggest a later prehistoric (Late Bronze Age) or early Roman date (100 BC – 200 AD), however it is possible that they date from almost any archaeological period before the early modern period (1650 AD)
A direct parallel has not been found – images have been sent to Dr Kevin Leahy (NAF: metalworking) and he has suggested that because these ingots were found in a similar area to record ( ) they may be of an early medieval date.

These lines are heavily patinated and form almost a deliberately delineated measure; however, the lines have been applied at random and are irregular in nature. The sides of the ingot are regular and it is possible that they have been hammered to that shape. The metal surface has a deep thick brown coloured patina which is much abraded and pitted. The patina would suggest a later prehistoric (Bronze or Iron Age 1500 BC – 100 AD) however it is possible that it dates from almost any archaeological period before the early modern period (1650 AD).
A direct parallel has not been found – images have been sent to Dr Kevin Leahy (NAF: metalworking) and he has suggested that because the overall shape of the ingot and the graduated incised lines are reminiscent of those he has seen on ingots dated to the early medieval (late Saxon period, 750-1000AD), specifically those which are seen on ‘hack-silver’ ingots. A direct copper alloy parallel has not been found.
The ingot measures 81.5mm length, 10.3mm width is 5.9mm thick and weighs 26.96 grams.

Fragment of a copper alloy disc with a central hole. Underneath the artefact is flat until near the central hole where it tapers in. The top slopes gently up towards the central hole before tapering into it.
The disc has a dark green patina with extensive patches of lighter green corrosion. It is likely that this represents casting waste rather than an artefact. A direct parralel has not been found - however it is similar to leaded bronzes used in the Roman and later medieval periods. It is possible this is associated with medieval metalworking - such as casting metal vessels

An incomplete cast lead alloy artefact, possibly a post medieval shy-cock or a fragment from a piece of decorative horse harness. The artefact has become badly twisted and folded in the plough soil and the original form is difficult to describe. In cross section it is sub-rectangular (slightly D shaped) with bevelled edges. The reverse face is plain and undecorated - there is no evidence of attachment lugs of fixing mounts. The cast decoration on the front face consists of a linear band with a cross potent within; the external edge is formed from a serrated band of raised square shaped pellets forming a decorative border. A direct parallel has not been found but the artefact would make sense being either a shy-cock or possibly a harness decorative boss.
Length:33.4mm, width 34.8mm and thickness 4.5mm. Weight :24.72 grams.

Cast copper alloy artefact, most probably a piece of casting waste of unknown date (Iron Age - Medieval 300 BC - 1500 AD). The fragment is sub-circular disc with a gap going from the edge to the centre. Around the gap is a ledge, and on the outside of this ledge a raised collar. The reverse face is uneven and rounded being irregularly cast. The artefact has a dark green patina A direct parallel has not been found. A Later Prehistoric or Roman date is preferred by the recorder.
