An incomplete, copper alloy object, probably a hinge of some kind of Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1200-1700). The object is roughly sub-rectangular in plan. At the one end, there is a transverse, sub-oval lug (6.84mm high, 6.65mm long, and 2.08mm wide) that curves down from the main body of the object, presumably part of a hinge mechanism, though there is no perforation in this lug. There is a moulded collar, rectangular in plan, profile, and cross section (6.36mm wide, 3.86mm thick), where the lug meets the main body of the object. The next section of the obje…

A cast lead unidentified object, possibly a weight or pendant, of uncertain date, ranging from Roman to Post-Medieval (AD 43 - 1800). It is roughly ovalish/round in shape with an offset central aperture that is roughly rectangular (3mm square). The object is creamy grey in colour. The overall dimensions are as follows: 13.7mm in length, in 13.1mm width, 6.2mm in thickness and 6.47 g in weight. Due to the small size and light weight of this object, and the fact that the aperture is not centred, it may well be a pendant.

There is then what appears to be a potential glans that is roughly triangular in plan, though it expands to 9.63mm thick with a rounded, domed reverse. The object has a cream patina and appears to be phallic in appearance, though it admitt…

An incomplete copper alloy object of unknown date. The finder suggested that it could be a horn off an Iron Age vessel mount. The object is curved and vaguely shaped like a horn. There is evidence of an old breakage at the base of the horn, suggesting that this was once part of a larger object. The object is 6.29mm wide and 5.79mm thick before the breakage, tapering to 3.38mm wide and 5.58mm thick just before the tip. The object has a Verdigris patina and is somewhat corroded.

A possible copper alloy Roman coin, possibly a radiate or nummi of an unknown Emperor dating to the period AD 260 to 402 (Reece Period uncertain). Unknown reverse. Unknown mint. The coin is very worn and corroded. The object was discovered near other Roman coins and the object is broadly coin sized however it is very thin and corroded with uneven edges therefore it could be also be a token or coin of Post Medieval dating. There is also a small circular hole in the object which is uncertain if it is deliberate or through wear.
