An incomplete cast copper-alloy Medieval annular brooch, dating to between c. 13th-14th centuries AD. The brooch is annular and flat, with a small narrowed notch in the frame, which would have accommodated the pin, now missing. The outer face of the frame is decorated with simple incised lines radiating from the centre hole. It measures 17.43 mm in diameter, 1.41 mm thick and weighs 0.97 grams. The brooch is of an even brown-green patina.

Copper alloy coin, probably a sestertius of Marcus Aurelius as Caesar (AD 139-61), dating to AD 148-9 (Reece Period 7), [TR POT III COS II], (VIRTVS in exergue), S C, Roma seated left holding parazonium and vertical spear. Mint of Rome. RIC III, p. 179, cf. no. 1283. The coin is of 29mm in diameter but only weighs 13.96g, so it is possible this is a large dupondius (see RIC III, p. 180, cf. no. 1295).

An incomplete post medieval cooper alloy book-clasp dating AD 1550-1800. The object is formed of two plates of sheet copper alloy. The front plate is rectangular with a fantail at one end and a hooked projection in the centre of the opposite end. The back plate is of the same shape but without the hooked projection. There are two rivet holes at the fantail end and a single rivet hole at the other on both plates. The rivets are still in situ. The front plate has a rounded indentation in the centre of the fan edge with a linear moulded decoration running down the centre of the object, from the indentation to the single rivet hole. The object is otherwise undecorated.
There is some damage to the fan-tail end on both plate and further damage to the opposite edge on the back plate. There is no evidence of any of the book being preserved between the two plates. Similar styles of book-clasp can be found in Margeson (1993, nos. 452-454) though none have the same decoration. These date from AD 1550-1800.
Dimensions: length: 38.82 mm; width: 21.96 mm; thickness: 3.90 mm; weight: 5.13g.
