A fragment of a copper-alloy unidentified object of uncertain date. The object is a flattened semi-circular shape with a break across the straight edge. The outer face is decorated with an engraved groove immediately behind the break an a row of incised C-shapes along the curved outer edge.  The function and date of the object is uncertain in its present condition. The patina, shape and decoration would suggest a Roman or early medieval date, but a medieval date is also possible.

Ain incomplete probable Roman copper-alloy unidentified object dating to circa AD 43-410. It is flat and rectangular in plan with rounded edges. The surviving terminal consists of two almond-shaped lobes with large lenticular mouldings projecting upwards from the front face. A longitudinal wavy line decoration runs down the front face. The object terminates in an ancient break. From the reverse a rectangular-sectioned hooked lug projects from one of the almond lobes.  The function of the object is unclear in its fragmentary state.

An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object, probably a strap fitting of Roman date. A long, narrow strip, D-shaped in cross-section, one end curved and one end straight with an apparently deliberate c.120 degree bend between the two sections. The outer face of the curved section is decorated with two longitudinal lines of small parallel tool marks. The outer face of the straight section is decorated with bands of transverse grooves flanking an in situ copper-alloy rivet and has a forked outer end. The surface of the metal is corroded and the breaks are well worn. Strong simil…

Incomplete copper alloy object, possibly a Roman buckle plate or strap end. Formed from thin plate; at one end there are four (only two are complete) laterally aligned prongs that curve back 180 degrees in an open loop. From this point towards the main body the width narrows to a symmetrical neck with three deep cusps on each side. Beyond this the object widens to an amphora-shaped body with the end missing at an oblique break. The amphora-shaped body is very reminiscent of nail cleaners of the period, but there is no evidence of a central cleft and the means of suspension would ordin…

An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object, possibly a mount of Roman date. A flattened plate with a pointed sub-triangular outer terminal and sub-trapezoidal section projecting from its rear with what may be a break across its rear edge. There is a linear engraved border around the outer edges of the terminal and behind this the sides of the terminal are decorated with parallel incised diagonal grooves. There is a small circular hole through the centre of the terminal, through which a bent copper-alloy rivet remains in situ. The outer face of the trapezoidal section to the rear i…

A copper-alloy fragment of an unidentified object, probably of the Roman to Early Medieval period, dating to AD 43-900. It consists of an arrow-shaped plate, which has a rectangular possibly broken end and a thickening and upwards curving point; the curving part has an oval cross-section. The front face has a longitudinal ridge, which might be a residue of the casting process. The back face of the plate has a semi-oval lug. The surfaces are abraded. The metal and the patina suggest and early date and the object might be a discarded Roman vessel mount; see KENT-BAB819. Although, the…

An incomplete copper alloy unidentified object of possible Iron Age or Roman date. The object consists of a long, curved strip, circular in cross-section with a break at either end. Its inner edge is thickened beyond the sides of the strip, but this tapers away at one end. Five rectangular knobs project at regular intervals from the outer edge producing a crenellated effect. The surface of the metal is slightly corroded and the breaks well worn. The function of the object is uncertain. It may be part of a crenelated Roman bracelet, but the cross-section appears to be too thick and …

A copper-alloy fragment of an identified object possibly of the Roman period, dating to AD 43-410. It is trapezoidal in plan and has the short opposite sides slightly concave. Both ends are broken; the shortest has a rectangular cross-section and the remains of a probably circular hole. The cross-section flares towards the longest end becomes almost pointed oval. Both faces have two shallow grooves starting on the base of the hole and running down to the corners of the opposite end; the panels defined by the grooves slightly expand giving that curving cross-section.
