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 copper alloy and iron unidentified object, possibly a mount, in the shape of a bird, considered to possibly be a dove. Date unknown, but thought to possibly be Roman in style and subject.
The artefact is modelled in three dimensions with wings tight against the body in a sitting or standing position, with the base of the body and wings in a slight upwards curve towards the head. The artefact is in worn and lightly corroded condition, but some modelling of feathers is visible. Each of the two eyes is modelled with a small depression. There are no legs or feet and a sm…

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.

There is also a small circular hole in the object which is uncertain if it is deliberate or through wear.
