The complete side arm has a broken terminal that appears to have once been in the form of a trefoil. The central cricle has a circular perforation through which one end of the drop handle could be attached, attaching both the handle and the plate to the piece of furniture. It is assumed the opposite side had a similar side arm which is …

A small, copper alloy prick spur dating to the post medieval period (c.AD 1700-1800). The size of the object may indicate that it was made for a child - the heel band measures only 45mm wide and 50mm long. The neck of the spur is offset from the back of the heel, and the "spur" itself is fixed, i.e. is a goad rather than a rowel. The neck and goad extend out a total of 30mm out from the heel band. The goad had four unequal points, although one of the two smaller pints appears to have broken off.The goad appears partly hollow underneath. The sides of the heel band are symmetr…

A folded lead-alloy strip of uncertain date. The strip has a rectangular section and has been folded several times along its length. Crimping marks are visible on the outside surface. The metal has a darkish patina, more metallic in places where the surface has been worn. Rolled and folded lead strips have been used as Roman curse tablets. However, compared to others in the database (e.g. YORKM-E10746, NLM-92F452) this piece is smaller and has been deliberately more tightly folded. This suggests that it is probably some kind of lead weight or ingot.

Cast lead-alloy weight, probably a spindle whorl, dating from the medieval period, that is c. AD1200-1500. Lead weights like these are common finds, but only rarely from excavated contexts which is why date and origin are difficult to pinpoint. Decorated lead-alloy weights are very rare finds in excavations, but are often found by metal detectorists. They are usually biconical or cylindrical in shape and are decorated on both faces with raised dots and radiating lines or zig-zag ribs. They have been found in ploughsoil over the site of Roman buildings, and in an excavated context d…
