An image of the fragment of mail has been analysed by Paul Thompson, Museum Archaeology Officer, Coventry, and his verdict is: Its round section, riveted mail with two failed links. Rather than square section or butted links which were often used for repairs although re-enactors use them to make complete garments. Its made in a pattern known as barley corn where one link joins to four other links, two above and two below, never to another link in the same row. This is easier to see on a larger piece and is the standard way of producing mail. It could have originated from almost any…

Object type: STAMP
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Post-Medieval cast copper-alloy object, possibly a stamp. It is of rounded hourglass shape and cast solid. All surfaces are smooth and plain expect for the top which displays a small circular dent and the bottom ('stamp') which displays three deep, parallel grooves. It seems unlikely that it was some kind of personal stamp, espeically because there is no visible means of suspension, but shape and 'stamp' pattern on the bottom suggest a similar use.

Complete copper alloy terret ring dating from the early Roman period, probably 1st-2nd century AD.

Very worn button or ornamental fitting. It is circular and made from cast cu-alloy, displaying the setting for a semi-precious stone or glass centre-piece in the centre of the circle.

Both the setting and the stone are chipped and very worn, probably not vouching for an old age but rather cheap-ish make. It is not clear if there was an attachment loop on the reverse; there is a moulded dot in the centre of the reverse, or possibly solder residue which could have attached a loop, wire or…

Cast copper-alloy single looped buckle plate dating to the medieval period (c. 1250-1400). Three small rivets (one of which remains in place) were used for attachment of the leather strap.

Shiny residue on the surface suggests that the plate was once silvered or gilt.
