An intaglio of Roman date probably 3rd century AD. It is probably blue glass or possibly blue onyx (nicolo) which it is in imitation of and depicts a scene of a standing figure. Not sure of who figure is, but could possibly be Bonus Eventus: cf a nicolo intaglio from Cheshire in Henig's 1978 BAR on intaglios, pl. XXXVI, no. 190 which shows B.E. with a bent leg, holding out grapes and fruit; if glass likely to be C3. The intaglio has been cut so that it has an oval outer face with steep sloping sides. The base is flat. Onyx stones with white outer surfaces were carved to create the b…

Possibly a blue glass bead probably dating from the Roman period AD 70-410AD. The object is circular 'bun-shaped' in plan and conical. It has an off centre circular perforation now blocked and the glass is cloudy dark blue. The outer surface is covered with grooves and pitting. The diameter is 15mm and the weight 1.97g. The object is odd as the perforation does not appear to continue all the war through it is possibly a miscast bead or intaglio. But the possibility remains that it is relatively modern.

An abraded sherd of glass water worn, probably from a large vessel. The fragment is of a clear transparent glass with a slight yellowish-green tint to the glass. Air bubbles are present in the matrix. It is sub-rounded in plan. The fragment could be Roman but is impossible to date in it's current state as it could just as easily be post-medieval.
The length is 52mm, the width is 48mm and the weight 18.67g.
Roman glass fragments tended to be recycled in antiquity. It was considered to be a more higher status artefact, similar in level to imported Samian ware pottery.

Annular translucent blue glass bead of uneven annular form. There are small points of damage and loss on the exterior. Annular glass beads range in date from the Early Iron Age to the Anglo-Saxon period (Guido 1978, Group 6 ivb; Guido 1999, Schedule 6i). The most likely date for this piece is perhaps Roman. The diameter is 10mm and the weight 0.74g.
