Probable bead made from copper alloy. 12 mm in maximum diameter and with a straight-sided 6 mm diameter perforation, the sides curve parallel to the perforation ('barrel-shaped') with a very slight angle in the centre. The bead varies from 7 to 8 mm thick and is very similar to an ancient glass bead. It is very hard to date - perhaps Iron Age or Roman.

Gold and garnet fragment, possibly half of a rather long biconical bead. A hollow cone in shape, it has a circumferential band of cloisonne garnets around both the wider and the narrower end, and four longitudinal bands of cloisonne garnets running between. The band around the wider end had perhaps eight rectangular garnets originally, set in cloisons (cells); three survive now and two of the cloisons are badly crushed. A strip of gold projecting from the edge of this crushed area may be part of the attachment to the other half of the bead, or part of a suspension loop if the object …

Small copper-alloy 'bead', 11 mm in external diameter and biconical with a 5 mm diameter perforation. 5 mm thick. Much of the surface is lost through corrosion. These objects are very difficult to date, but the suspicion that they may be Roman is heightened by the fact that this one was found with 5 Roman coins. They are also difficult to assign a function to; they may be decorative rings mounted on a slim shaft, or they may indeed be beads with wide perforations.

Cylindrical glass bead with rounded ends, made of semi-translucent pale aquamarine or turquoise glass. It is 14 mm long and 11 mm in diameter, with a 4 mm perforation. Dating this bead has proved difficult. Cylindrical shapes are not found among pre-Roman beads. No parallel can be found in M. Guido's Prehistoric and Romano-British Glass Beads (1978). Catherine Johns of the British Museum thinks it is not Roman. This leaves early Anglo-Saxon as the most likely option, but it is an unusual colour. Leslie Webster of the British Museum has seen it and has suggested that the unusual …

Just under half of a large bead made from translucent deep blue glass with a rather carelessly inlaid trail of twisted cable. The cable appears to have been made from white, dark blue and a slightly lighter blue, and is 3 mm wide. The surviving inlay makes one complete and half of a second swag, with the cable being stretched out and crumpled at the bottom of the complete swag. Original diameter c. 25 mm, diameter of perforation c. 4 mm. Twist-decorated beads are known from the late Iron Age/early Roman period and the early Anglo-Saxon period (7th century). There are good parallel…
