Kevin Leahy (NFA Post Roman artefacts) comments: I don't know what to make of the 'pommel'. The animal's head is nicely modelled and the incised decoration is neat but I am struggling to get to work as a pommel. I am not sure about the round holes and the general form of the thing. (8th April 2014)

An incomplete copper alloy artefact of uncertain identification and function, possibly a sword pommel of Early Medieval to Medieval dating (AD 700 to AD 1500).
The artefact is sub cuboid in shape. A circular perforation (hole) is present in the base, with an internal diameter of 8.3 mm. A sub circular flat border is present around this perforation. Possible arms extend to either side. These arms curve upwards, with a recurved tip. The top of this possible sword pommel extends with these curvilinear shapes and it has been folded over with the tip touching the base.
It measures 63.7 mm in length, 26.5 mm wide and 27.5 mm tall. It weighs 115.3 g.
The artefact is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. The possible pommel may have been affected by heat, which has resulted in the deformation of the artefact.

Kevin Leahy (NFA Post Roman artefacts) comments: The Style I mount is also odd, it looks superficially OK but the details are incomprehensible. We have what might be hips and legs but no toes and the ribbing across the pear-shaped hips doesn't look right. The is a pellet which might be an eye but this does not fit into any head that I can see. I wonder if it is a blundered attempt at Style I (8th April 2014).

A complete gilt copper alloy plaque or inlay, of Early Medieval dating (AD 750 to AD 1200).
The plaque is rectangular in shape, with moulded decoration (?Style 1) on the front. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The decoration on the front bears similarity to that of the Tiermensch or 'beastman' motif. The decoration consists of several motifs, each appears to be multistranded. Gilding survives in the recesses.
It measures 26.6 mm in length, 13.0 mm wide and 1.9 mm thick. It weighs 2.8 g.
The plaque is a dark green to gold colour, with an even surface patina.
Several similar plaques have been recorded on the PAS database including: NCL-AED1F3; SF-4DE4E1; DOR-4F44A2; SOM-7F2A01.

A copper alloy finger ring, probably of Post-Medieval date, about AD 1500 - 1800. It is a simple, broad hoop of thin rectangular section, without bezel. It is decorated with a stamped pattern of opposing equilateral triangles; each triangle containing a stylised fleur-de-lis. It has been made by bending a strip of metal and soldering the ends to form a ring. The butted join is clearly visible and the decoration is not aligned. The ring has a rough, light green patina and has been partially bent out of shape. It is 17.6mm long and 16.2mm wide and the loop is 5.3mm wide and 0.6mm thick. It weighs 1.17gm.

A complete copper alloy modified probable strap clasp, of Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval dating (AD 1400 to AD 1500).
The probable strap clasp frame is sub rectangular in plan, with a recessed back, and thin side walls. The front of the clasp is triangular in shape (pointed), with incised decoration. The decoration consists of a thin groove around the edge of the clasp front, with a central line, dividing it into two triangular areas. Each area has several groups of four small V shaped stamps. A roller is present around the strap bar. A second strap bar, made from iron, has been inserted into the centre of the sides. The space behind the clasp frame has been infilled with iron corrosion products, possibly mineralising the original strap.
It measures 31.2 mm in length, 16.0 mm wide and 6.4 mm thick. It weighs 9.0 g.
The probable strap clasp frame is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina.
The probable strap clasp frame is similar to that of a two part folding strap clasp, with crowned head or mitred head decoration. However none of those strap clasps have additional strap bars like this example. This example has thinner walls than those of the two part folding strap clasps.

An incomplete copper alloy probable great square headed brooch fragment, of Early Medieval dating (c. AD 450 to c. AD 600).
Less than 25% of the brooch is present, consisting only of part of the bow and a small amount of the head plate. The rest of the brooch is missing, presumed lost in antiquity.
The brooch fragment is sub triangular in plan, and curved in section. All edges are incomplete. The decoration on the front can be separated in two parts: the bow and the square plate. The bow is decorated with a central rectangular ridge, which has been decorated with two parallel grooves (worn in the middle of the bow). Diagonal double grooves are present at the top and bottom of the bow on either side of the central ridge. A raised ridge is present along both edges. The decoration on the head consists of two raised circles at the junction of the bow and the plate, with a triple stranded ridge extending above it. A double stranded ridge is present at the possible top of the plate running at right angles to the vertical ridge. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The remains of two pin lugs with an iron axis bar, for the pin to attach to, are present on the reverse.
It measures 46.4 mm in length, 22.8 mm wide and 13.9 mm thick (at the bow). It weighs 15.5 g.
The brooch is a mid brown colour and an even surface patina.
Several similar great square headed brooch fragments have been recorded on the PAS database, including: WMID-E96A51 and WMID-922C17.

An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman Colchester derivative Polden Hill brooch (flat wing ends type, Midlands) dating from the late first through to second century AD. The brooch has a thick rounded head with short stubby wings that has a linear moulding around each terminal. At the reverse junction of the head and the wings is a hook that would have helped tension the axis bar for the spring mechanism. The wings have end caps that would have secured the axis bar, however the entire spring and pin are now missing.
The bow of the brooch has moulded decoration down its length. The upper portion of the bow has two raised vertical ribs above an rounded boss that projects outwards. Beneath this knob are two small, more ovoid bosses located on either outer edge of the bow. The lower half of the bow, which is bent, has four raised ribs that extend down to the foot. The foot appears complete and is a simple squared-off terminal. The catchplate on the reverse is missing its hook. Similar brooches are recorded in Hattatt (2007) however none have the trefoil of bosses seen on this example. Mackreth (2010) does illustrate some brooches with raised knobs from the same class, however none are an exact match. Plate 48 (2010:51) shows several Polden Hill style brooches with three, four or five sets of raised lenticular bosses down the bow. These brooches are from contexts dating from c. AD 75-400.

An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman Colchester derivative, 'T-shaped' brooch, dating to the early Roman period. The brooch has a tapered bow and foot-knob with short rounded wings with coiled spring secured by a forward facing hook on the top of the head, in the Colchester B style. The spring is incomplete with the pin missing. About halfway down the length of the bow is a short row of four teeth, leading to this type of brooch being nicknamed the 'sawtooth'. Just above this decoration is a small lozenge-shaped stud. Between the sawteeth is a panel of three raised lozenges, the recesses having been cells to hold decorative enamelling, all of which is now missing. The catchplate on the reverse of the brooch is intact.
Although termed a 'sawtooth' brooch, Hattatt (1985:96) classes this and similar examples as as the precursor to the 'mature' sawtooth brooches, which have teeth down the whole length of the bow (ibid). They are often found in central southern England, with Oxfordshire cited as a common findspot. Excavated examples date from c. AD 70 to 180.

Copper alloy double oval buckle frame with missing pin and narrowed triangular-section strap bar. The outside edge of each loop is scalloped forming seven foils defined by deep transverse grooves, with slightly shallower transverse grooves between. There is a very slight trace of possible gilding on the upper surface. The reverse face of the buckle is plain and flat and the frame is now slightly angled. Whitehead dates buckles of this type to circa 1450-1600 AD.
