Record ID: WILT-3F91D5
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of unidentified object of uncertain date, measuring 14.30x13.05x2.50mm and weighing 1.79g.
The object is openwork and square in shape, with a U-shaped inward projection on two opposing sides, creating an openwork-H at the centre. To one of the other edges is a broken stump, 3.74x2.50mm.
The fragment is just possibly from a Late Early-Medieval (900-1100) copper alloy slide key for use with a padlock, of type C variant, consisting of the bit and small stump of stem only, but not enough survives to give a more certain identification.

Record ID: WILT-3F2C06
Object type: PIN
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete and worn copper-alloy pin of Roman or later date, with collared bi-conical head and missing part of the shank. It measures 23.84mm in length and weighs 1.08g.
The head measures 6.52mm in diameter at the centre and tapers into the collar, from which extends the shaft (0.95mm diameter). The object has lost almost all of its original surfaces. It is of probable Roman date, although a later date in the Early-Medieval to Medieval periods cannot be ruled out entirely.
Dr Kevin Leahy writes: this object is best placed in the Middle Anglo-Saxon period during which pins of t…

Record ID: WILT-3EAA38
Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An undatable (Late Iron Age to Post-Medieval) copper alloy multi-purpose ring, circular in cross-section . It measures 34.86x34.43mm in 'diameter' (internal c.25mm) and weighs 13.65g. It has a smooth dark green patina.
Rings like these are numerous and would have been multi-purpose, eg.for hanging keys from a belt etc. As this example is rather more robust it may have had use with harness. It appears out of shape in places, suggesting it has been pulled on by a heavy weight.

Record ID: WILT-3E32E2
Object type: HOOKED TAG
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy Early-Medieval - Medieval (600-1150) hooked tag, very worn and missing its hook. It belongs to Read's Early-Medieval Class A Type 6, 'heart-shaped', and has two attachment holes. It measures 13.19x13.09x1.04mm and weighs 0.34g.
Much of the original patina has been lost and one of the sewing holes is worn through. The hooked tag is apparently plain and the break is old. This object is illustrated in Read 2008, p.20 no.92. Read suggests a broad 6th to early 12th century date.
