A cast copper-alloy late Anglo-Saxon stirrup terminal of circa 11th century date.

A circular gilded copper-alloy mount dating to the early-medieval period, perhaps the 8th or 9th centuries. Gilding survives on the front and on the edge; the flat reverse is ungilded. There is no obvious means of fixing or attachment. The design of the mount is based on a (missing) central setting with three bosses around which are tight, fine-line 'watch-spring' spirals. In between the bosses the spirals expand from lines to flaring chip-carved trumpets; the chip-carving is very bold. Where two flared ends meet there is a possible transverse ridge (the photo is unclear) which is …

An early medieval silver penny of AEthelwulf of Wessex(839-58); moneyer: Manning; mint:Rochester, c. 846-9; Naismith R30.3/North 603 (obverse) / Naismith R30.2/North 613 (reverse). This coin appears to to mule the obverse type of the previously unique coin listed by Naismith under R30.3 with the reverse of the portrait type R30.2. A similar combination of obverse and reverse designs is seen on a different Aethelwulf coin from Rochester under the moneyer Dunn (Naismith R25.2/North 604) although the spelling used on both obverse and reverse match the two Manning coins.

An incomplete copper-alloy buckle of late early-medieval date, and of Naylor Class A2i. It is D-shaped, with a protruding animal head central on the outer edge acting as a pin rest through a V-shaped nick between its ears. At the two apexes there would have been a further protruding animal head, smaller then the one on the outer edge; one is missing, along with the majority of the pin bar which it would have abutted. The pin bar appears to be rod-like, as with other buckles of this type, with a circular cross-section. Further damage has been suffered to the extant side with animal hea…
