Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Monmouthshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Prehistoric flint retouched flake, probably of Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date The flake is complete (with a length of 25.1mm, a width of 21.8mm, a thickness of 6.4mm and a weight of 2.6g). The retouch is neatly worked on a small distal area of one side (9mm long), with an area of utilisation on the proximal part of the same side. Both the retouch and utilisation are on the ventral surface of the flake. The dorsal surface displays evidence of core-preparation abutting the striking platform. The flake is made on grey, unpatinated flint.

Object type: STEELYARD WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Monmouthshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead steelyard weight of uncertain date The lead weight is of irregular biconical form and is complete with a copper alloy suspension loop at both ends (with a length of 36.0mm and internal loop diameters of 4 - 5mm). One of the end loops contains iron corrosion. The weight is widest around its midsection (with a maximum diameter of 22.6mm) and is undecorated. The weight has few diagnostic features and weighs 35.0g which does not closely correspond to Roman period weighing systems. 35.0 grams roughly equates to a 1¼ ounce weight in both modern (1.235oz) and medieval Avoirdupois s…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Monmouthshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead pan weight of uncertain date The weight is complete (with a length of 18.5mm). Both faces are circular (with a diameter of 14-15mm). The sides are concave, producing a minimum diameter of 12.2mm). One of the faces has the suggestion of an incised design, possibly a star within a circular border. The weight weighs 25.0g, which is equivalent to 0.885oz. The weight is not diagnostic and is difficult to date the weight of 25.0g is broadly consistent with a 1oz weight of Medieval and post medieval systems.

Workflow stage: Published
Sheet copper alloy strip, broken or cut along three of its sides, with one of the ends being bent prior to breaking. The outer complete edge exhibits a slight curvature and suggests the strip may have been curved. The piece is crudely decorated with a series of linear chisel marks forming two lines running along the strip. There is a further more continuous linear depression running along the broken or cut side.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Monmouthshire
Workflow stage: Published
Probable handle fragment of copper alloy of uncertain date and broken at both ends. The piece has three ribs; one central rib and one each side, one of the side ribs is more pronounced than the other two ribs. The fragment begins to expand past the ribbed area and this section seems to be defined by an incised line at each end, and contains punched chevrons and diamonds, possibly originally filled with black enamel. This end possibly has an area with a concave profile, possibly suggesting the recess to take a pin for a hinge.

Copper alloy looped mount possibly a vessel escutcheon of Roman date The mount is incomplete, missing part of the loop and is heavily-worn and corroded (with a surviving length of 43.4mm and a weight of 16.2g) and is of anthropomorphic sub-oval and domed form. The oval domed head (28.7mm long, 23.9mm wide and 10.6mm deep) appears to be inverted in relation to the loop being at the top.

Copper alloy fitting of uncertain date and function The fitting is of rod from and is complete (with a length of 65.1mm and a weight of 7.9g). The implement is of circular section (4.0mm diameter at the apex, widening to 4.8mm) before a rectangular-sectioned and tapering 'plug' at the terminal (15mm long and 4.4mm x 5.4mm, tapering to 2.9mm x 4.5mm) with a flat end. The other end has a small oval perforation (4mm from the end), presumably for securing or suspending it. No decoration is evident on the fitting. The surface has pale to mid-green patina.

The runner is of irregular sub-oval section (with a surviving length of 21.5mm and 8.5mm x 8.0mm) and has is narrower beneath the reservoir, possibly through corrosion. The surface has a dark-green to brown patina with areas of mid-green corrosion. The jet has few d…
