A silver post-medieval sixpence of William III (1694-1702), unclear mint, 1695-1700. The coin is very worn and is bent. The coin appears to have been bent twice, but is now partially straightened, possibly by the finder or as a result of movement within the ploughsoil. Coins with a double bend are sometimes referred to as love tokens but they may have been used for supposed amuletic properties. Manville (2014, p. 20) says of bent coins: “A twice bent coin might be carried in the pocket or wallet as a protection against the ‘evil eye’ or other witchcraft, hence the crooked sixpen…

A fragmentary cast copper alloy figurine, probably of neoclassical form and post-medieval (AD 1750-1850). The figurine is represented by a foot, likely from a reclining female.
