A fragment of a cast copper-alloy spherical animal bell (crotal) of post-medieval date. The fragment comprises half of the lower of two hemispherical domes, the hemisphere naturally divided in two by the sound slot, and vestiges of the upper hemisphere broken around a sound hole, together with a raised circumferential join. The upper hemisphere would have had two circular sound holes with a rectangular tab projecting from the top between them. The upper hemisphere is seemingly plain from the small amount that survives.

A lead post-medieval (AD c.1600-1700) possible shot of the "capstan" or "bobbin" type. It measures 22.4mm long and 15.4mm in diameter. It weighs 36.29g.
