Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
Silver bezel of a finger ring containing an orangey-red, cornelian, intaglio. The edge of the bezel is decorated by a line of triangles running round its bottom edge and the back by an engraved floral pattern. The intaglio depicts a winged male figure, probably Cupid, a large bunch of grapes and an animal, probably a hare. The intaglio would appear to be Roman, depicting Cupid, a bunch of grapes and a hare. The same combination can be seen on an intaglio from Bath (Henig 1978, 200 no.113) where cupid is holding a bunch of grapes and a hare is jumping up to reach it. On the present int…

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
Late Bronze Age copper alloy socketed axe of Ewart Park metalworking phase, corresponding to Needham's (1996) Period 7, dated to c. 950 - 750BC. The axe is of uncertain type, probably of faceted type (Type Meldreth (Schmidt & Burgess, 1981, p 204-5) ). The axe is incomplete, missing the mouth and upper body (with a surviving length of 66.1mm and a weight of 77.3g). The body of the axe is slender (with a minimum surviving width at the break of 24.2mm). The sides of the axe are concave and expand at the blade to produce a moderately curved blade. The loop is not present on the incomp…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
Treasure 2008. Wales : 08.21 The strap-end is in the form of a moulded rod, expanding slightly to form a bifurcated shank. It is broken across the hole for the rivet that would have secured it to the end of a leather strap. Functionally strap-ends existed to reinforce the free ends of leather belts and straps, such as the end of a belt opposite from the buckle, and in some instances to provide some extra weight to help the strap or belt-end hang properly. However, there was also a strong decorative element to them. Similar strap-ends, made of copper alloy, have been found on Roman…

Object type: HAMMER
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
Iron hammer head, with a circular eye (diameter 22mm) set within a slight expansion of the head. The striking face, which is slightly rounded and burred, is rectangular and is balanced by a sub-rectangular cross-pane, which is also slightly burred. Length 116.5mm, maximum width 45mm, maximum thickness 33.5mm, dimensions of striking head 34mm x 34mm, dimensions of cross-pane 28mm x 29mm. The hammer head is uncertain. The form of craftsmen's tools remained constant from the late, pre-Roman Iron Age through to the early twentieth century. Consequently, unless recovered from a demonstrably…

Object type: AXE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of a probable iron axe, with an oval eye set within a notably wide expansion. Half of the eye, the poll and the end of the blade are missing. The front face of the surviving part of the blade is straight, while the rear, although initially straight, begins to curve back, presumably to form a wide cutting edge. Unfortunately, the loss of the front of the blade prevents confirmation of this suggestion. The thickness of the blade narrows towards the missing cutting edge suggesting that, when complete, the blade had a triangular longitudinal section. Surviving length 159mm, maximu…

Fragment of a circular loop with a projecting rectangular-shaped tab decorated on one side with an incised cross of St Andrew motif set within a rectangular frame. A fragment of a slide key which is closely paralleled by three pre-Flavian examples of the type from the Roman fortress at Usk (Manning, Price and Webster 1995, 267, nos.8-10). The rectangular-shaped tab would have functioned as a handle. Surviving length 32.5mm

Object type: STUD
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper alloy stud with a flat circular head (diameter 16.5mm - 17mm) and a circular-sectioned stem (diameter 10mm). The lower part of the stem has apparently sheared of c.22mm below the head of the stud. Surviving length 26mm. The date of the stud is uncertain. A comparable example was recovered from a pre-Flavian context a the Roman fortress at Usk (Manng, Price and Webster 1995, 273, no.2, fig.86); although it is possible that the stud could be of relatively recent date.

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper alloy cylindrical fitting. There is a small recess surrounded by a slight concentric moulding in the centre of the base. Three concentric mouldings at the other end give way to part of a narrower sub-rectangular sectioned projection, the end of which is missing. Surviving length 26mm, diameter 19mm. The date and function of the fitting are uncertain; however, its patination is consistent with a Roman date and the possibility that it is contemporary with the slide-key can not be dismissed.

Workflow stage: Published
Late Bronze Age socketed axe, probably dated to the beginning of the 1st millennium BC, c. 950 - 750BC. The axe is incomplete and is missing the mouth and much of one face. The axe may be judged a small example with a maximum surviving length of 66.00mm and has a width of 32.05mm beneath the loop. The socket has a maximum surviving depth of 50.76mm and has the suggestion of an internal rib on the looped side, ending 23.8mm from the base of the socket. The axe has broken across the loop, which is comparatively substantial with a width of 9.21mm. The sides are slightly concave and th…

Object type: HARNESS FITTING
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper alloy miniature-terret, probably dating from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD. The terret has a 'D' shaped profile with a length of 19.6mm and width of 21.7mm. The terret is of sub-rectangular section and has a minimum thickness at the bar of 2.0mm and a maximum thickness of 3.8mm on the hoop. The hoop is of irregular width and varies from 3.2mm to 6.7mm; it is unclear whether this variation is because of wear or an irregular casting. The bar is 9mm long and is 3.9 mm to 4.5 mm in width. The stops are simply defined by a thickening of the hoop. There is a clear wea…
