Cast copper alloy bead. The bead is circular in plan and hexagonal in section being bi-conical. It is of regular thickness with the circular perforation centrally set. There is raised band running around the bead, flanked to either side by a narrow circumfral groove. A circumfral groove also runs around the perforation to each side. No casting seam is visible. The original surface survives mostly intact with a dark green patina, with areas of damage and wear showing as lighter green. The bead has a diameter of 14.42mm, is 10.22mm thick and weighs 6.04g. Beads are difficult to date, …

A fragment of a glass annular bead. Only about quarter of the bead survives. It is 15.3mm long, 7.2mm wide and 5.6mm thick. It is sub-circular in section and would have had a radius of about 9mm. The bead is made of dark blue glass and is decorated with five trailed then smoothed circumferential bands of white glass. There is also a pinkish substance on the side of the central hole. Beads with similar decoration on the database are LEIC-70C974 and LEIC-8B5E97. It is very difficult to date glass beads as they were used throughout the Iron Age, Roman and Early Medieval periods.

A copper-alloy bead. Several such beads are recorded on the PAS database. Dating of such artefacts is difficult; however, the profile of this example is reminiscent of larger harness rings, similar examples to which were found in a late Iron Age to early Roman period assemblage of metalwork at Camerton, Somerset - see Jackson, 1990, p. 49 and database records BH-11AEC2 and BH-5ECDA1. The bead is ring-shaped, with a large central apeture. The profile is sub-triangular, with a central ridge extending around the circumference of the ring and, marking each of the two outer edges, a lowe…

A glass bead of unknown date. The bead is sub-spherical with flattened ends and a central hole. The bead is made of blue glass and is in fair condition, with a pitted surface. Beads of this style were used from the Iron Age until the medieval period and beyond and so are impossible to date. This blue colour was popular in the 1st-3rd centuries, but could also be from an Anglo Saxon context.

The artefact is ring-shaped, the central aperture having become filled with a copper-alloy corrosion product. The ring is sub-triangular in profile, with a low ridge extending around the centre of the outer surface, which is heavily gilt.

A copper-alloy ring of uncertain date and function. Such artefacts are relatively common finds and probably served a variety of functions. The small size of this piece suggests it may be a bead. The patination indicates a possible Iron Age to Roman date. The ring has a convex outer surface and slightly flattened inner surfaces. The diameter decreases significantly at one point, possibly as a result of wear. The surfaces bear possible traces of a white-metal coating and are corroded. The artefact measures 15.2mm in diameter, 4.7mm thick and weighs 3.49g.

Large copper alloy biconical bead. 20m in diameter and 19mm high. The hole has a diameter of 8mm at the top and 5mm at the bottom. To date, 213 copper alloy beads have ben recorded on this database, with varying dates. Biconical beads similar in form to this one have been given an Iron Age date. They are similar in size and shape to Roman faience melon beads, and so a Late Iron Age date may be likely. Beads similar to this one can be found at IOW-A7EE12, CAM-8147F6 and ESS-FAFDF4.

This is a good example of a blue glass annular bead and given the deep cobolt blue of the main body of the ring and its diameter at 20mm, it is probably from the Roman period. The glass has been decorated with an opaque white wavy line and this is typical of the type (wave-decorated beads) as described in Margaret Guido's 'The Glass Beads of the Prehistoric and Roman Periods'. In particular, this example fits within the group 5 type 10d style. The central hole is a little irregular and is slightly off centre. The diameter of the hole is 9mm.

It narrows symmetrically in a curve towards either end. The central section is solid but it appears to have a socket arrangement at either end. The sockets are difficult to resolve as one end in particular has lost material through damage. Dark green patina. Dimensions: length: 17.53mm; width: 9.09mm; thickness: 10.76mm; weight: 5.25g.

It is sub-discoidal in form and is pierced with a sub-circular hole through the centre (4.7 mm in diameter). The bead itself measures 19.3 mm in diameter. It has a flat underside and a rounded top. Such beads are difficult to date, however this example was found near to items of predominately late Iron Age and Roman date, so a similar date for this artefact seems likely.
