A copper alloy unidentified object possibly a Roman plate brooch fragment or a fragment of a vessel. It is broadly triangular in plan, with breaks along at least two of its edges. At one edge is most of a small circular perforation (c.1.85mm in diameter) with a raised circular ring border. This appears to have been at the centre of what may have originally been a disc or hexagonal shaped object as there is a curving groove across the fragment which would form quarter of a circle's circumference. The upper surface also undulates forming concentric circles around the central perforation…

An incomplete copper alloy unidentified object, probably dating to the late-Iron Age or Roman period (AD c.1-410). It is broadly ovoid in shape with a circular knop at each end. At the centre of each knop is a broadly lozengiform-sectioned projection. Both these projections has been broken and whatever was connected to this object has been lost. There is a large rough indentation on one side of the ovoid, which contains traces of iron but it is unclear whether this was a feature of the original object or a result of more recent damage. Apart from that and scratches on the other side, …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete and worn cast, lead alloy token, dating to the Post Medieval period (c. 1500-c. 1850). The token is circular and double sided. The token has raised designs: a six petalled flower on one side and four lines bisecting a pelltet, off centre. It is mid-grey in colour. It measures 23.3mm in diametre and 3.6mm in thickness; it weighs 9.65g.

A slightly bent cast lead token of medieval or later date. This example has a raised six petalled daisy wheel on the obverse but the reverse has no design. Lead tokens are thought to have been produced as a substitute for low denomination currency at times when it was in short supply (particularly for agricultural use). Lead tokens were easy to manufacture and widely distributed; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. Those with simple designs were used throughout the Medieval and Post Medieval periods. They could also have been used for gaming pieces or for similar purpos…
