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…

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 …

Object type: HOOK
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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 difficul…

An iron hooked artefact of unknown date. The hooked terminal is well formed from a length of square sectioned iron bar albeit crudely worked. It tapers along its length; the terminal is bent into a U shape. 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 measur…

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 Medieva…

Complete lead alloy weight of uncertain date. This crude weight is circular and flat. It is made of lead and has no decoration or marks. Its shape suggests it was used as a measure, and its pre-decimal weight of 1.02oz makes this likely. It has an off white patina. One side is smoother and flatter than the other. Its diameter is 26.7mm, its thickness is 6.2mm and it weighs 28.9g. A similar weight, PUBLIC-7E00A6 Weight, was found nearby.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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. There is currently still a degree of debate over the dating a…
