Two heavily abraded wheel made ceramic body sherds. The fabric of the sherds is quite soft with a oxidised orange external surface and a grey interior surface. The sherds do not have any obvious inclusions. Together the sherds weigh 7.9g. The sherds are either Roman or Medieval due to their texture and colour, however, due to the lack of other diagnostic features the date cannot be narrowed down further.

Cast copper alloy bow brooch. The brooch comprises a bow without headplate, and a footplate. For most of its length (18.66mm) the bow has an ovoid cross-section, with flat sides and a ventral ridge. However, at the junction with the pin and spring, at its mid-point and at the junction with the foot the bow has thickened rectangular sections. With the exception of the section of bow at the junction with the foot, which is plain, these sections are decorated with three transverse v-shaped grooves which have probably been incised. There are what appear to be three faint file marks on…
