Incomplete cast copper alloy stud or tack, undecorated, corroded and pitted, but substantial, with base of missing integral square shank. Read (2001) illustrates a similar example from South Somerset on page 31, Fig.16, No.235, which he dates from the 12th to the 14th century. Egan (2002) illustrates a similar example in form but not in metal on page 171, Fig.110, No.824, which is dated to ceramic phase 9 c.1270-1350. Similar to CORN-050BC1 which was found in the same area and CORN-CAE032 which was found about 400 metres away.

Cast copper alloy terminal from a horse's cheek piece, circular in plan and clylindrical in profile, with one slightly more convex side, in keeping with Type E in Ward Perkins' typology (after London Museum, 1940, 80, Fig.19a) illustrated in Clark (2004), page 47, Fig.30, Type E, dated from the 14th to the 15th century.

Incomplete cast copper alloy hilt guard from a dagger, pierced for a rectangular-section tang. The guard has two quillons on either side of the quillon block, one is short and the other incomplete but would probably have been at least another two centimetres longer. There is also a semi-circular knuckle guard or bow on one side of the quillon block. Williams in S.A.C. No.86 (1999) illustrates a similar hilt guard on page 189, Fig.12, No.111, which is dated from the 17th century to the 18th century. Wilkinson (1967) illustrates similar hilt guards on an English dagger in Plate 57 (cent…

Leaf-shaped flint arrowhead that has been bifacially reworked or retouched on the entire edge of both the dorsal and ventral faces. The reworking extends further onto the ventral surface from the point of the arrowhead, at the distal end, but the medial ridge of the flake obstructs further working on the dorsal face beyond the point. The bulb of percussion remains on the ventral face at the proximal end. There is no cortex remaining on the flake and the flake would have been chosen particularly for an arrowhead as its medial ridge runs the length of the flake and will add strength t…

Copper alloy medieval sub-triangular buckle. The buckle frame is flat in section. It is damaged, with the narrowed and offset strap bar and buckle pin entirely missing, leaving only the curved side arms of the buckle, now slightly bent out of shape, but still roughly C shaped. The front end of the buckle is expanded, and when complete would have tapered to form the triangular front, probably with a trefoil terminal. It too is damaged and the point and terminal have broken away. There is no grooved pin rest. The expanded point is decorated with a central line, with a triangular panel t…
