Silver object of uncertain function, possibly a Medieval brooch pin, 1200-1350. Cast sub-rectangular section rod with smoothed arises, tapering at one end to a point; the extreme tip may be broken away. The other end bears a slight expansion on either side, producing an outline reminiscent of a thistle head, with a very slightly widened spatulate end which is worn and thereby thinned on one side and slightly bent back on the other.

Copper alloy brooch. Cast bow and fantail brooch; cf Mackreth type TR 4.1a - Mackreth also notes (2011, vol. 1 page 126) the probable relationship between this brooch type and the Aesica and Rosette brooches. Tubular plain wings are clenched behind to retain an axis bar and the stub of a hinged pin. The wings are met by a thin bow with the stub of a discontinuous ridge at its crest. This expands to a rhomboid panel at mid bow with a disc of diameter 6mm apt to retain enamel in its centre, though no colorant remains.Below this is a collar moulding above a triangular fantail foot.
