A cast copper-alloy bucket mount of probable Iron Age - Romano British date. The mount is cast three-dimensionally and is in the form of a bovine head. The head has two truncated forward-facing horns, below which, are two moulded circular eyes. On either side of the head, a raised line runs down the side of the face from the horns to the snout, terminating in a spiral that forms the nostrils.

A piece of what appears to be copper alloy slag. It has a high metal content and is very heavy for slag but seems too irregular for a finished piece. There are small bubbles in the piece and a rounded hollow seems to be the result of a large bubble. There is a loop at one end and a shaped tail at the other.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A perforated sub-circular object bearing incised decoration on one side. It is presumed to be a weight, possibly a spindle whorl, although it has been made from a light-weight, pumice-like material, which is granular in texture and has a mottled appearance. Each side of the object has an uneven surface and a number of chips around the edge. Although there is decoration on one side, the other side has at least one groove running across it. The weight is irregular in shape and the perforation is worn to a greater extent on the undecorated side. It may be a spindle whorl made from …
