Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An Early-Medieval or Medieval (c.400-1500) copper alloy gilt cut fragment of a larger, probably circular, object. It measures 23.44x16.47x4.33mm and weighs 6.75g.
The fragment has two perpendicular edges, with that between curving. To the reverse it is flat with some traces of iron staining, while the front has moulded decoration. Following the line of the curve is an apparent border of Ss or figure-of-eights. Within, and against the longer straight edge, is a stem or perhaps figure. Extending from one end are possible leaves or devices being held.
Traces of gilding are apparent o…

Copper alloy and incomplete unidentified object, post medieval or modern in date. It consists of sheet copper alloy decorated with circular punches and tiny rocker-arm/ zig-zag lines, some of which are straight and others if which are curving. Two diagonal lines stretching from one edge to the opposite create three ares for decoration. One is punched dots, another rows of short lines perpendicular to the original line, and between these two areas ?foliate decoration in a mixture of stright and curving lines.

Copper alloy and incomplete unidentified object, possibly medieval in date.
A 22mmx24mm chunky square, slightly domed and hollow to the reverse, extends below a rectangular projection with rounded sides and corners. It is 9mm high and measures 13mmx10mm. Above this is a crude oval terminal (10x6x3mm), perpendicular to the projection, and pierced at its centre (3.5mm in diameter).
Below the square three corners (one has broken and is missing) extend downwards c.10mm in a 90degree arrangement and are roughly pointed. At the mid point of two sides is a similar, one-dimensional, triangular…

At one end, there is a bifurcated tail with one half of the tail curving round with a hole in the centre, this hole was probably an attachment loop. The object continues to curve round and broadens out. There are three triangular and trapezoid shapes with incised lines following the curve of the lower edge. There is then …

A folded fragment of sheet gold strip with a narrower strip threaded through and wrapped. Maximum length 13mm; width of wider strip 6mm; thickness 3mm as folded; width of narrow strip 2.5mm; weight 1.43 grams. Non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the surface indicated a gold content for both of 86-89%, a silver content of 8-10% and at least 1% copper. Though the analysis does not rule out an ancient date, the piece is an undiagnostic fragment which cannot be assigned to a cultural or chronological context. Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it can not be securely date…

A cast copper alloy fragment. What remains of this is triangular in shape with a wide ridge running centrally along it's length from the apex. The ridge then splits to form a semicircular ridge around an aperture the same shape. This would have been circular originally but the object is now broken at this point. This object is of uncertain date and function. It is possibly prehistoric, but is not of a recognisable object type. It's dimensions are 35.91mm x 33.13mm x 7.40mm, weight 18.51g

A cast copper alloy unidentified object of probable post-medieval or modern date. The object is D-shaped and measures 25.3mm by 22.8mm by 5mm and weighs 14.3g. The flat edge has a shallow notch in the centre. The front is flat and is decorated with a border and central cross formed from lightly stamped triangles. The back is recessed and has three projecting integral rivets. Kevin Leahy has suggested the object is relatively recent in date and may have possibly functioned as a harness mount.
