Cast lead alloy weight of unknown date probably later medieval or modern 1300-1800 AD. The weight is sub-circular in plan and D shaped in profile; in cross section it is an irregular rectangle. Through the centre is a sub-circular hole (5.6mm x 6.9mm). There is no sign of decoration and the weight is a mid grey colour with an even, but powdery corrosion. Similar weights have been dated to both the Roman and the medieval periods however it is most likely that this is of medieval date, probably for use as a net or line weight. The weight measures 15.7mm length, 13.9mm width, is 9.2mm …

An incomplete cast copper alloy fragment of uncertain function or date; it is most likely to be either later medieval or post medieval in date (AD 1350 - 1700). The fragment is broadly oval in plan and rectangular in section. The edges are incomplete (although in places areas of scalloping survive) and it is possible that this may be waste from an industrial process or an incomplete / miscast object. The lower surface is flat and undecorated; the upper surface is rough with possibly a miscast / relief design. The edges suggest the profile was H shape - possibly similar to glass came …

Two pierced stone water worn pebbles of unknown date or function. 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 1…

Cast copper alloy artefact or unknown date and function. 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 radia…

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 Br…

An irregular fragment of cast copper alloy plate of uncertain date. The fragment is broadly rectangular in plan and cross section. All edges are heavily eroded and abraded; they do not represent the original edges. The upper surface has a poorly preserved cast pattern comprising radiating elements between oval lentoid open loops. It has a deep green coloured surface patina. A direct parallel has not been found although it is highly likely that it is from the rim of a decorated metal dish - possibly a chafing dish of later medieval date (AD 1200 - 1600). The fragment measures: 33.…

A fragment of cast copper alloy of uncertain date. The fragment is undiagnostic being broadly rectangular in plan and triangular in section. The surface is a mid - light green colour and it is eroded in the ploughsoil. This type of artefact is not normally recorded, however it was recovered from close to the findspot of HESH-4DE0D7 and may hint at Late Bronze Age metalworking in the area. The fragment measures: 16.3mm length, 15.5mm width, is 9.4mm thick and weighs 6.79 grams

An incomplete unidentified artefact of unknown function and date. The fragment comprises both iron and copper alloy possibly being part of a hinge or having a hinged element. As it is unidentified a specific date cannot be attributed - although it is more likely to be later than the later medieval period - a suggested date is AD 1400 - 1800. The fitting is irregular in plan - being broadly sub-rectangular - and also irregular in cross section. On one edge of the fitting is a cylindrical element - possibly an encased hinge pin. The artefact is a mid brown colour with a thick unabraded …
