Record ID: SF-334CE5
Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete unusual late early-medieval barrel-shaped weight. Measuring 23.3mm diameter and 18.5mm in height with a weight of 40.29g. This weight is made of iron with a copper-alloy casing, patches of corroded iron can now be seen through this casing. The flat ends of the weight appear to have stamped decoration on them consisting of two concentric circles of small circular motifs. There is a trace of someting else within these boarders but what it was is no longer visible due to wear and corroded iron.
A very similar weight is illustrated in Biggs (1993, 14). He states tha…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A very worn and heavily restored late early-medieval barrel-shaped weight. It is biconical in form with flattened top and bottom surfaces. The weight has the remains of an iron core surrounded by a largely incomplete and heavily repaired/restored copper-alloy casing. On the flattened top and bottom surfaces the casing has stamped decoration. This comprises at least two rectilinear motifs formed from parallel transverse grooves from which at either and and at the centre extend short vertical and curvilinear strokes. These motifs appear almost like crowns stacked one above the other, al…

A large piece of cast iron of unknown date. It is sub-triangular in shape and rectangular in section. One end is missing due to old breaks. It is probably agricultural in origin, possibly a weight. It measures 68.22mm in length, 61.78mm in width and 28.59mm in thickness.

Object type: WEIGHT

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An iron core in copper-alloy casing Early Medieval weight, dating to AD 850-1066. It is spherical with two opposite flat faces. One face has a circular sunken line decorated with a series of punched annulets; the opposite flat face might have had the same decoration, but the iron corrosion has burts through the copper-alloy coating and covers large part of the surface.
Cf. Rogerson (in EAA 74, 1995, p. 69, fig. 52, no. 136). See a parallel on PAS: NMS-8BB723

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two substantial cast fragments from an iron cauldron of Medieval to Post-Medieval date, with a combined total weight of 207.70g.
The first is an irregular fragment, which is approximately triangular in shape, from the rim of the vessel that preserves one handle. The rim is everted with a flattened top edge and a transverse moulded ridge along the outer edge. On the outer face there is a second parallel moulded ridge approximately half way down the fragment, with traces of a similar, third ridge at the base of the sherd. The small cast handle is round in section and triangular in s…

Record ID: SF6292

Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Published
Iron and copper alloy object, probably a copper-alloy mend from an iron vessel. The copper alloy forms a sheath, wrapping right around two faces of the rectangular-section iron fragment and coming a little way down a third (wide) face. At first sight it looks like a rim mend (cf. Egan 1998 fig. 135) but the wider faces are not curved along their length - instead, the complete shorter face is curved. It seems therefore more likely to be the flat handle of an iron skillet which has been largely encased (all apart from perhaps the bottom face) in copper alloy, and with one long side no…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A seemingly complete, but very corroded, iron object of uncertain date. It comprises a round base with flat bottom and hollow inner surface, creating a rim around the edge of the object. From the inner surface of this rim extend two flat rectangular strips of iron that cross at the centre to give the object a hollow, dome-shaped form. There are no signs of additional decoration but this may be resultant from teh preservation of the object. It measures approximately 31.5mm in diameter, 20.31mm in height, and weighs 27.83g.
The precise function of this object remains uncertain, althou…

Mystery object made of iron and also probably of copper alloy. As far as can be seen, the object consists of a circular-section iron rod, flattened and widened in the centre, bent into a U shape. On the outer curve of the U is some smooth greenish metal, perhaps an elongated copper-alloy plate, with a blob of iron in the centre which may be the remains of a rivet holding the copper alloy on. Although both ends of the iron rod are broken, the most complete tapers to 5 mm in diameter; the centre of the U has expanded to 11 mm wide and 3 mm thick. This is perhaps similar to one from …

Curved iron object, circular section shaft, diameter 4.5mm, probably broken at both ends. The curve is very reminiscent of a brooch bow and it is possible that this is the remains of an iron Colchester type brooch but it is not certainly so. The shaft appears to flatten slightly at the break at the top (as if forming wings, pin etc) but overall the taper is very slight and there is no indication of a catchplate at the bottom. Surviving length 43mm

This piece has a 25mm-long pointed feature, tapering from 5mm to zero, like a tang extending from midway along a flat iron object 4mm thick and 18mm broad, which is broken off just below the attachment. It might conceivably be the tang of an implement like a hand file. Otherwise indeterminate.

Record ID: SF8415
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Iron object which looks very like a Roman vessel mount. It is drop-shaped, and curves from side to side as if to fit around the curved side of a vessel. At the broader end the object turns towards the convex face through a little over 90 degrees to form a thicker angled platform; this could perhaps have been part of a handle attachment. The iron is in good condition but is laminating slightly at the edges, showing that it is made from wrought iron. Such vessel mounts are normally made in copper alloy and have a loop at the wider top.

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

An incomplete iron broadsword with a basket hilt in very good condition. The basket hilt and about a quarter of the blade survive, the rest of the blade is missing due to old breaks. The basket hilt is c175mm in length and c185mm in width. It is openwork and the pommel of the hilt is now missing. The idea of a basket hilt to protect the hand came to England and then to Scotland from the Scandinavian and German sword makers. The double edged blade, hence the name broadsword, measures c194mm in surviving length and 30mm in width, it is tapering gently towards its missing terminal. …
