A cast copper-alloy ornamental cross-staff head mount possibly dating to the eleventh or twelfth century AD. The spherical head possesses an openwork design comprising three joined lozenges. Each lozenge is divided into four triangles with a cross. At each apex on the staff head mount, there is a spherical knop. At one end of the object, there extends a circular section collar.

A copper alloy balance pan or scale pan, dating to the medieval or post-medieval period. It is concave, circular in shape, and has three small circular perforations spaced at regular intervals around its circumference. It has a diameter of 31mm and a thickness of 3mm. Similar circular pans, with the same or larger dimensions, are known from deposits of c. 1270-c.1400 in London (Egan 1998, nos. 1039-1043) but Margeson suggests that they were still in use in the early post-medieval period (1993, 204-5).

An unusually large buckle frame dating to the medieval period. The frame is D-shaped with a narrowed pin bar.

Even more strangely, it has three separate small copper-alloy rivet-like pegs which can just be seen polished flat on the upper face. There is…

A medieval silver mount or brooch. The object is formed of a quatrefoil frame, comprised of four lobes with incisions on each lobe to give the appearance of petals. One side of the lobes is flatter, with a straight edge, which could indicate the constriction for a pin, or could be due to wear. The reverse is flat, and the object is worn.
