Record ID: SF-927254
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…

Object type: BOLT (FASTENING)
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An iron object, probably a bolt or screw, of uncertain date. It has a square head and tapering rectangular shaft that is square in section. Approximately half way down the shaft expands on one side, but this may be the result of corrosion or encrustation. Towards the base of the shaft there is a large square projection that in form resembles a rove or bolt through which the shaft passes. The entire object has suffered from extensive corrosion and encrustation to the degree that the surfaces are extremely fragile and the form is not entirely apparent. It measures 73.27mm in length, 13.2…

Object type: BRIDLE BIT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete iron object, possibly a bridle fitting or similar, of uncertain date. It comprises a central bar that is square in section and rectangular in form. At each end are the remains of projecting loops, one of which is complete and is formed by the end of the bar being elongated and curved around to meet the main shaft, thus forming the loop. The loop at the opposite end is formed in a similar manner but is incomplete due to old breaks. It is also set at ninety degrees to the plane of the opposite loop. The entire object is heavily encrusted and corroded. It measures 102.93mm …

Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete iron object, possibly a very corroded fragment from a whittle and tang knife of uncertain date. It is flat, tapering towards one end to produce a triangular form. At the widest end of the triangle there appears to be a terminal end separated from the main plate by semi-circular notches to either side of the object, from which extends the heavily corroded terminal, perhaps formed from two prongs although this remains uncertain due to damage to the object. It measures 94.88mm in total length, 13.97mm in width/height, 3.27mm in thickness, and weighs 8.31g. This is probably a…

Object type: AGRICULTURE AND SUBSISTENCE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small iron object of uncertain form, probably agricultural in nature, and highly corroded and encrusted. It is circular in section with two prongs forming a U-shaped plan, with a further short prong extending backwards from one end. The precise form and function of the original object are uncertain due to the poor preservation of the object and the extensive encrustation covering all surfaces. The fragment measures 31.73mm in length, 34.24mm in width, 9.81mm in thickness, and weighs 18.48g. This object is probably agricultural in nature but is of uncertain Roman or later date.

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
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 …

An incomplete Iron Age of uncertain date. Half of the socket and the butt end are missing due to old breaks, the remainder of the object complete but with extensive corrosive iron products and encrustation. It is triangular in form and section with flat front face and down-curving rear face. The cutting edge is almost vertical, curving slightly towards its base. The remains of a circular or oval eye are visible at the butt end, which is rectangular in section, but the precise form of this end of the axe is uncertain due to its preservation. This axe measures 115.27mm in surviving leng…
