Silvered copper alloy pressed and stamped three-part hollow domed button with separate soldered circular attachment loop. The button has eight raised pyramidal turrets, each surrounded by a circle of rays, with one in the centre and seven around it in a circle. The back is made of another pressed sheet circle with the attachment loop in the centre. Bailey (2004) illustrates a similar pattern on a cut steel button on page 65, Fig.9.184, which is dated to the 18th century, but the way the button has been made suggests it is more likely 19th century in date.

A complete sheet copper-alloy hilt-plate from a medieval whittle-tang knife. The object is ovoid in shape and slightly convex in profile. It has a broadly central rectangular perforation through the lower surface. The hilt plate is bent at the pointed end. The object is corroded with a dark-green patina where it survives. No decoration is discernible. Such hilt-plates tend to be given a 15th-century date, although they could be earlier. A parallel can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 88; ref. 642).
