  • Thumbnail image of GAT-C21560

Record ID: GAT-C21560
Object type: PALSTAVE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A heavily worn and incomplete Bronze Age palstave axe head. Extensive surface loss has occurred along the edges and surfaces of the find, giving the axe and thin irregular form. The butt end is sub-square, and is slightly more truncated to one side. From the butt, the sides flare slightly. The side flanges are missing; however, the stop ridge is still prominently visible, especially on one side. From the stop ridge, the blade tapers slightly (due to surface loss) before flaring marginally to the cutting edge which is heavily truncated and rounded. A partial rib is visible on one face…

An incomplete copper alloy heraldic horse harness pendant, dating to the medieval period (c. AD 1189-1399).  The pendant is in the shape of a square topped shield (Heater shield), with straight top and convex sides meeting at a point at the bottom that is broken to the left of the point. At the centre of the top edge projects an integral incomplete transverse loop. The face is decorated with enamelled heraldic design that consists of three lions passant on a background of gules (red). The enamel of the lions is lost. The reverse is plain and undecorated. …

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A lead weight. The weight is circular in form and engraved with ‘IIII’ on one face. The reverse has a single linear line running across the face but is otherwise plain. It has been suggested that leads weights incised with a form of number may represent the weight of the weight in ounces. If this example was meant to be four ounces, it is underweight at 3.6 ounces. Illegal lead weights are notoriously difficult to date as they bear no official mark.

Record ID: GAT-10F54A
Object type: KEY (LOCKING)
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A copper-alloy rotary key. The key consists of a triangular bow, an oval in section solid stem, and a sub-rectangular bit with multiple wards and clefts projecting.  An incised X is visible on the stem as it tapers outwards at the bow. No direct comparable examples could be found. The key is too big to be identified as a casket key, and could therefore be suggested to have been a door key. While the key doesn’t fit stylistically with any compared examples, it can be suggested to be of late medieval to post medieval date.

Record ID: GAT-10EF31
Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A copper-alloy mount. The brooch is formed of a single plate of copper alloy in the shape of a Tudor rose. Raised floral decoration is present on the front face. On the reverse, aside from seeing the underside of the decoration, the mount is plain with no visible attachment points. Due to the thinness of the metal the mount has become slightly warped and has a number of voids on its surface, probably occurring post deposition. Based on comparable examples the find is likely Post Medieval (1650-1750) in date.

A probable prehistoric core trimming flake. The find is roughly triangular with a white, yet heavily worn patina.

The flake has a visible bulb of percussion.

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A blue glass bead with a slightly off central perforation. The bead is broadly bun / globular shaped and is light blue in colour. The bead has a decorative white stripe of glass within the matrix. Glass beads are common finds from the late Iron Age - Early Medieval period, however stylistically this form is likely to date from the late Iron Age or early Roman period. Dating beads visually is very difficult, however given similar beads are recorded as being of Iron Age to Roman date, this has been tentatively suggested for this find.

A heavily worn and incomplete Bronze Age palstave axehead. Extensive surface loss has occurred along the edges of the find, giving the axe a thin irregular form. The butt end is squared, yet slightly rounded. From the butt, the sides flare slightly, although one side is partially truncated/ missing. The one remaining side flange terminates at a prominent stop ridge. From the stop ridge, the blade flares marginally to the cutting edge which is heavily truncated and rounded. There is no evidence for side loops. Likely of Early to Middle Bronze Age in date.

A piece of lead of irregular shape. The lead is sub-rectangular in form, with sides which flare outwards at either end.
