Lead shot. Cast dumbbell shot, probably for use with a carbine or pistol of military specification, comprising paired spherical balls joined by an integrally cast round section shank. There is no evidence of it being fired. It is thought that the doubled mass of the round would enhance its 'stopping power' in the event of a hit, though at an increased risk of fouling the gun barrel. The use of cast dumbbell shot is characteristic of English practice in the 17th century, while the pistol and carbine would be a weapon used by a cavalry trooper. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1700. …

Cast copper alloy single looped buckle of probable medieval or post medieval date 1350 - 1650 AD. The buckle frame is an oval D shape (kidney shaped) in plan and irregular in cross section varying from a flattened oval to D shaped. The pin is missing but it is likely that it would have been formed from a sub-rectangular length of copper alloy. There is no pin rest present or constriction on the frame to enable the pin to lie flat. It is likely that a rectangular shaped buckle plate formed from a sheet of copper alloy fitted to one long edge. The plate would have been attached to the b…
