A complete cast copper alloy weight. It is globular, with a flat base. There is a small circular perforation at the top, which widens to the base (diameter of hole at top 2.5mm, diameter of hole at bottom 5.76mm). The perforation appears to have been cast with the weight. On the top is a small casting imperfection in the form of an irregular hole, where the copper alloy hasn't filled the mold fully. the weight is in a fair condition. The outside is very pitted, although this could have been due to poor casting. It has a dark green grey patina. Date of the weight is unknown, Roman - Me…

A fragment of possible copper-alloy metal working debris. It is neatly formed, oval shaped in plan and section with a smooth upper(?) surface. Some post-depositional wear and corrosion is visible on all surfaces. This fragment measures 16.13mm in length, 14.90mm in width, 7.52mm in thickness and 7.82g in weight. It is probably a relatively neat by-product of metal working, although given the findspot a function as a small weight, counter or similar object cannot be ruled out entirely. It is of uncertain Bronze Age or later date.

A cast copper-alloy ring of uncertain date. It is possibly a finger ring, although this does not seem likely as the interior of the loop is not smoothed and it has a fairly small diameter (interior 12.9 mm, exterior 19.29 mm). It is more likely that the ring is a strap or harness fitting or some similar object. Such rings were in use throughout history, and so dating it outside of a context is very difficult. It is 3.6 mm high, 2.84 mm thick and weighs 3.4 grams. It has a dark green patina yet where it is corroded it is a paler green and parts have a purple hue.

A thin gold ring shaped object, with ornate spiralled design and oval lilac stone setting. Dark areas indicate that this object could consist of gold leaf over another material. This may not have originally been a finger-ring; the material is extremely thin, too thin to conceivably be used to construct a finger-ring. It is indicated that the item has been straightened and glued, making identification difficult. The object is not in its original state and so identification in the current condition could be misleading and therefore there is no evidence to date to pre 1711.

A probably complete cast copper alloy object of uncertain date. The object has a rectangular central section with a hole in one corner. From one corner a short arm extends out curving slightly upwards. At the opposite end a worn hook extends straight from the body before curving outwards. From the reverse the back of the hook is attached to a ledge extending from the main rectangular section. This gives the impression that the object may has sat flush against an object with a right angled corner, most probably held in place by a fixture through the hole. The object appears to have b…

The shape of the spindle whorl corresponds with Coppergate type A1 (Walton Rogers, 2007) which were used from the 6th century. However, it may also be medieval. The lead has a dark yellow patina.

A pair of copper alloy pivoting staples of unknown date. The two staples are a rounded square in section, and each is made of a single piece of copper alloy, tapering towards the ends. They are hooked round each other, and two ends squeezed together so they cannot be separated. One staple has the ends bent out sideways at right angles; the tips of three of the four arms are missing. Similar stables are illustrated in The Medieval Household and are described as follows: "Pairs were presumably to join two boards, one fixed, and the other the lid of a simple box, a hinged shutter or shel…

A lead alloy spindle whorl of uncertain date. It is circular in plan and rectangular in section with a raised rim round the central hole. There is a central circular hole which seems to have straight sides and is 7.5mm in diameter. The shape of the spindle whorl corresponds with Coppergate type B1 (Walton Rogers, 2007) which were used from the Iron Age and through the Early Medieval period. However, it may also be medieval. The lead has a dark yellow patina.

Object type: CANNON BALL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
While this object was initially described as a cannon ball there is no doubt that it is in fact a fossil sponge and dates from the Cretaceous period. These objects are flint and not uncommon in chalk areas of the country. The slightly irregular, spherical shape and the small scar are typical features. Any future finds should not be recorded.

Record ID: WILT-EE5C30
Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An undatable lead conical weight with iron ?nail in situ, measuring 29.37mm in length and weighing 73.7g. The weight is 23.46mm in diameter around the centre, narrowing to 14.76mm at one end and 15.42mm at the other. Both ends are flattened off, and the internal diameters are 8.73mm and 8.83mm respectively. The length of the actual weight is 27.31mm, but the (10.46x6.03mm) rectangular head of the iron nail protrudes at one end. Its shaft is visible inside from the other end. The lead is pitted but where the patina survives is a brownish in colour. The iron is not badly corroded. T…

An undatable but probably Roman to Post-Medieval (AD 43-1800) lead steelyard weight with a ?squahsed iron loop at one end and the trace of an iron projection at the other.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn and corroded, broadly circular cast lead object, possibly a spindle whorl or other weight. The whorl is plano-convex, with a trapezoidal cross-section. The top is generally flattened, with one side angled, possibly as a result of wear. It is basic and has suffered heavy corrosion and some small losses at the base. It is seemingly undecorated. The artefact has a central hole with a diameter of c. 9.6mm. The object is 8.9mm thick and weighs 9.54g. It has been pointed out that the weight of a spindle whorl is suggestive of the thickness of yarn produced, with lighter spindle wh…
