Copper alloy knob handle probably from the Post-medieval or modern periods. The weight is spherical with 2 small protrusions, one at each end. The top protrusion is rectangular in section. The lower one is circular. Both appear broken- it is not known what they were attached to. The top half of the main body of the weight is separated from the lower half by medial raised line. A very similar example has been found in Middlesborough (Curmmy; 1988; 42), which has been dated to the late Post-medieval or modern periods.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Jews harp made of copper alloy. The circular-shaped fragment which forms the top of the jews harp differs from the straighter sided, seventeenth century examples and can therefore be dated to the eighteenth century. The circular-shaped top, or bow, has a lozenge shaped cross-section. The tongue, formed by two narrow strips attached to, and extending out from the bow, is missing. This missing part would have been twanged to produce a sound.
