WMID-8AB1FE: PURSE
An incomplete copper alloy purse frame of the Post Medieval Period, dating to AD 1400 - AD 1600. The frame is sub rectangular in plan and in cross section. In the centre of the artefact there is a rectangular block with a circular drilled hole in the centre (from the top of the object through) where the shank, now missing, would have been located. At the top of this central block there is a small triangular shape depression or notch cast into the object, this is not present on the bottom of the object. Either side of the central block and running horizontally are two cylindrical shafts (length 25.5mm). Each shaft terminates with a globular knop which has been decorated with 6 diagonal v-shaped grooves, giving the appearence of a twisted and grooved spiral. There is no other decoration present on the object. The object meausres 66.1 mm in length and is 8.6 mm wide. It has a thickness of 4.7 mm and weighs 15.4 g. The frame is a dark green in colour and has an even patina. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil may have resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail.

WMID-8B2242: MOUNT
An incomplete copper alloy mount, of Post Medieval dating (AD 1500 to AD 1700). The mount consists of a diamond or lozenge shaped front plate, with an integral square sectioned attachment spike, located in the centre of the reverse. The attachment spike is incomplete with the point missing. The break is not recent. The attachment spike is no longer straight but bent at a 40 degree angle. The decoration on the front of the mount consists of a plain diamond shaped border around the edge. Inside the border is a four petalled flower with a central pellet. It measures 24.9 mm in length, 18.9 mm wide and 11.2 mm thick. The front is 2.2 mm thick. The attachment spike is 3.2 mm wide by 2.7 mm thick at the plate, tapering to 1.6 mm by 1.8 mm. It weighs 4.0 g. The mount is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Several similar lozenge shaped mounts have been recorded on the PAS database, including: SF-C41896; SUSS-D30253; SUSS-3A5111 and SUSS-9AB2D7. All are considered to be Post Medieval in dating (AD 1500 to AD 1700).

WMID-8B6E29: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An incomplete copper alloy artefact of uncertain function, probably of Medieval to Post Medieval Period dating (AD 1400 - AD 1900). The object has a sub globular knop at one end, with a circular depression on either side, this could have been a mis casting of a hole, but it is unclear. Underneath the knop is a ridge followed by a long cylindrical shaft, this is narrower towards the knop and slightly tapers out towards the other end. The object may have sustained some damage or may have been mis-cast as just underneath the knop the object's cylindrical shaft has been flattened. This might suggest that the object is hollow although it is hard to determine. About half way down the object on one side there is a very small black hole, this could be a result of the mis-casting of the object. The object measures 63.2 mm in length and is 8.4 mm wide. It has a thickness of 6.0 and weighs 11.8 g. The object is a mid green in colour and has an even surface patina. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil may have resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail . At the time of recording, no direct parallel could be found for this artefact. It is possible that it may be a handle or suspension arm. It is probably of Medieval and later dating.

WMID-8C7740: TOKEN
A complete lead or lead alloy token of the Post Medieval Period, dating to around AD 1400 - AD 1800. The token is sub oval in plan and rectangular in cross section. The obverse is decorated with a double circular or wreath design with a border of six triangular designs making a star around the inner double circle or wreath (Probably Powell Type 9 or 28). The reverse is undecorated. The object measures 15.6 mm in length, and is 13.5 mm wide. It has a thickness of 3.2 mm and weighs 2.9 g. The token is a mid to dark grey in colour and has an even patina. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil may have resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail.

WMID-8CF48B: PIPE (SMOKING)
An incomplete moulded clay tobacco pipe, of the Post Medieval period, dating to AD 1600 - AD 1800. The clay tobacco pipe has been moulded from a white pipeclay. The pipe fragment consists of a complete bowl. There is evidence of a horizontal line of dots just underneath the rim of the bowl. The rim of the bowl has been damaged slightly at the top. The tailed heel is incomplete, with a complete maker's mark remaining. The maker's mark was originally a square shape, with three lines of text, reading MICH/BRO/WNE. The clay pipe measures 48.8 mm high, with a maximum diameter of 22.2 mm. The wall of the clay pipe bowl is 4.93 mm thick. It weighs 14.3 grams. Abrasion caused by movement whilst in the plough soil may have resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. The maker's mark indicates that it was made by Michael Browne. A pipemaker of this name was known to be working in the Much Wenlock area, with a similar style cartouche. Another clay pipe bearing this maker's mark has been recorded on the PAS database as HESH-FEBD86.

WMID-8E567B: FINGER RING
An incomplete gilded silver stirrup finger ring, of Medieval dating (AD 1200 to AD 1400). The finger ring has a flat hoop. The finger ring was originally adjustable, with the hoop split in two. One side of the hoop is complete with an rounded end, the other exhibits an old square break. The shoulders have been decorated with a two strand twisted rope or guilloche design, with a Z twist to it. with The hoop rises to a pointed bezel. The finger ring is set with a false stone, which was cast in one with the hoop. The false stone has a diameter of 3.5 mm and rises 2.6 mm above the bezel. Due to its current shape, the original diameter of the finger ring can not be determined. It has a length of 31.3 mm and is 25.7 mm wide. It is 4.9 mm thick. The hoop is 1.7 mm thick. It weighs 3.2 g. The finger ring is a dark grey colour with an uneven surface patina. Traces of gilding are present on all surfaces, in particular, the inside and between the ropes on the guilloche design. XRF Analysis was carried out at Birmingham Museum Conservation lab using an M1 Mistral tabletop machine. The finger ring was tested in three places: one on a gilded part of the hoop, once on a non-gilded part and once on the bezel. The results are below: Location Au Ag Cu Fe Pb Hg Br Hoop - gilded 28.98 +/- 0.26 60.86 +/- 0.35 0.75 +/- 0.05 - 0.26 +/- 0.04 9.16 +/- 0.26 - Hoop - non gilded 0.74 +/- 0.04 91.40 +/- 0.39 0.96 +/- 0.05 5.29 +/- 0.20 0.44 +/- 0.03 - 1.17 +/- 0.03 Bezel 0.91 +/- 0.04 94.49 +/- 0.39 1.35 +/- 0.05 1.81 +/- 0.13 0.54 +/- 0.03 - - The XRF analysis has proved that the finger ring is substantially silver (91-94%). Gilding was present on the surface, which is confirmed by the presence of gold and mercury. It would have originally been entirely gilded. Stirrup finger rings were popular in England for at least three hundred years, starting from the mid 12th Century AD. This style of finger ring were worn by both sexes (Pritchard, 1991, 326). Two stirrup rings, albeit made from pewter and bronze, as opposed to silver, were recovered from excavations in London (Pritchard, 1991, 326, no 1608-9) and have dated to London Ceramic phase 8 (c. AD 1230 to c. AD 1260). Therefore the finger ring is older than 300 years and it has a precious metal content of greater than 10%, it should be considered to be Treasure under the requirements of the Treasure Act 1996.

WILT-8AA09D: COIN
A silver medieval schilling of the Knights of the Teutonic Order, Grand Master Paul von Rusdorf dating to the period AD 1422 - 1441. Long cross quartering shield with escutcheon depicting eagle within. Uncertain mint. The coin is now broken into two fragments and is missing part of the flan.

WILT-8CBFA4: HOARD
A hoard of two incomplete Middle Bronze Age rapiers dating to the period c. 1400 - 1100 BC. Both blades best described as rapiers and best placed in Burgess & Gerloff's 'Group III' (Burgess, C.B., and Gerloff, S. 1981. The Dirks and Rapiers of Great Britain and Ireland. Prähistorische Bronzefunde IV, 7 Beck: Munich). The rapiers will be discussed as rapier A and rapier B. Rapier A consists of six fragments of the blade along with six rivets from the handle. One of the breaks between two of the fragments may be deliberate, the other breaks appear to have occured during deposition. All of the fragments feature substantial damage along both edges of the blade. All of the fragments exhibit one surface with a smooth dark green patina with some pitting and one surface with a heavily pitted, rough dark green patina. The uppermost section comprises widened shoulders which measure 63.47mm at their widest point. They have been damaged along the top by a series of old breaks. The edge of one notch is visible along the break line. The blade then tapers to a width of 19.82mm and terminates in a jagged break point. The blade is lozengiform in cross-section and features a thick, prominent mid-rib. The second fargment of rapier A has straight parallel sides and is lozengiform in cross-section. The blade is slightly curved along its length and terminates in an old break which may have been deliberate. This fragment measures 129.16mm in length, 20.77mm in width, tapering to a width of 18.39mm and is 7.37mm thick. The third fragment tapers noticably along its length 77.64mm in length, 16.92mm in width, tapering to a width of 14.24mm. It is 6.51mm thick, narrowing to a thickness of 5.91mm. The fourth fragment measures 41.00mm in length, tapers from a width of 13.07mm to 11.95mm and is 5.43mm thick. The fifth fragment measures 15.28mm in length, 11.05mm in width and is 5.15mm thick. The sixth fragment comprises the tip of the blade and narrows markedly incomparison to the other fragments. measures 46.45mm in length, tapers from a width of 11.67mm to a width of 3.98mm and narrows from a thickness of 5.19mm to 3.47mm. It terminates in an old break. The rivets are cylindrical in shape, each featuring a ridged collar at either terminal with rounded ends. They all feature an uneven dark green and brown patina. One terminates in an old break, however, the other five are all intact, save minor surface damage. The rivets vary in length from 21.44mm to 13.34mm and in diameter from 19.21mm to 11.78mm. Rapier B comprises three fragments of the blade. It is missing the hilt and shoulders. The first fragment is rectangular in shape and lozengifrom in cross section. The blade has been faceted, with a prominent mid-rib and two additional ribs flanking, creating four facets on each surface. The faceting is also visible in the cross section. The fragment measures 131.72mm in length, 23.34mm in width, tapering to 20.91mm and is 7.29mm thick. The second fragment tapers slightly along its length. The break point at one end seems to match with the break point of the first section. One surface has a deeply pitted dark greeen patina. The other surface exhibits a smooth dark green patina interspersed with uneven patches of green and brown corrosion product and some recent scratches where the original colour of the metal is visible. It measures 135.66mm in length, 21.17mm in width, tapering to 18.66mm and is 7.11mm thick, narrowing to 6.47mm. The third fragment comprises the tip of the blade and commences with a deliberate break, visible where the blade has been bent out of shape and snapped. Unlike the first two fragments, this fragment only exhibits one thickened ridge running along its length, rather than the faceted surfaces of the other two fragments. Both surfaces feature a pitted and scratched dark green patina. The fragment measures 156.65mm in length, 23.36mm in width, tapering to 8.98mm and is 11.86mm thick, narrowing to 8.11mm.

Date: 17th century Discussion: This item is more than 300 years old and composed of more than 10% precious metal. It therefore should be considered Treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act 1996.

WILT-8F80D6: FINGER RING
Silver medieval finger ring Circumstances of discovery: Metal detecting Description: A complete later 12th century silver finger ring with niello inlay. The band has been slightly bent and is rectangular in cross section. The ring comprises a narrrow band (2.1mm wide and 0.65mm thick) which expands into wider (2.95mm wide and 1.0mm thick) shoulder panels and central panel (4.6mm wide and 1.7mm thick). The narrow band is undecorated, both expanding shoulders are decorated with six sets of transverse incisions forming a chevron pattern before thickening and widening to the raised rectangular panel. The band then narrows and thins and is decorated with two parallel grooves formed of rocker arm decoration and four further sets of rocker arm decoration which expand from the two parallel lines towards the edge of the band, traces of niello are visible in places. The central raised rectangular panel and the two panels adjacent to the shoulder are recessed adjacent to the raised border to hold niello, the recesses form a crenulated raised central section. The ring broadly corresponds to a type known from the Lark Hill hoard, Worcester (buried c.1173-4 and usually inlaid with niello), and from single examples from Llanfaes, Anglesey; Tre-gof, near St Hilary Down, Llanbleddian, near Cowbridge, and two from Caldicot (Treasure Annual Report 1999). See also LVPL-EAE971, WILT-EBD251, and WILT-9568D4. Dimensions: Length 22.25mm, width, 21.75mm, the band is 4.55mm wide and 1.75mm thick. It weighs 1.87 grams. Date: Later 12th century Deposition: TBC Discussion: This item is more than 300 years old and composed of more than 10% precious metal. It therefore should be considered Treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act 1996.

SWYOR-8AD5B7: COIN
A post-Medieval silver coin: a threepence of Elizabeth I (1558 - 1603), second issue, initial mark ermine, dated 1572. It is 20mm in diameter and 0.4mm thick. It weighs 1.32gm. Reference: North, volume 2, number 1998

SWYOR-8B3805: HARNESS PENDANT
A cast copper alloy Roman harness pendant dating from the late second or third century, AD 150 - 300. It has a heart shaped upper body below which is an extension in the form of a trefoil, the lower lobe of which narrows and extends downwards, terminating in a spherical knop. In the centre of the upper edge of the upper body is a circular suspension loop at ninety degrees to the plane of the body. The loop is incomplete. There is an angled triangular groove on each side of the suspension loop and a further groove beneath each of the side knops of the trefoil but no other decoration. The pendant has a smooth, dark brown patina. It is 41.1mm long, 20mm wide and 9.4mm thick. It weighs 7.74gm. Similar examples are illustrated in Appels and Laycock, 2007, Roman Buckles and Military Fittings, page 121. Compare also YORYM-D6FA45 for a very similar example.

SWYOR-8B55CA: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete, cast copper alloy sword belt fitting of the toggle clasp type dating from the post-Medieval period, AD 1500 - 1700. The remaining portion is one end of the female element of a two part clasp and consists of a rectangular frame with a circular suspension loop beneath the outer end, then a raised transverse ridge of hemispherical section and a small portion of a flat plate, the remainder of which has broken away and is missing. The outer end of the frame is curved upwards away from the rest of the frame. The underside is flat. There is no decoration. It is 23.9mm long, 19.3mm wide and 4.6mm thick. It weighs 2.58gm. Similar clasps can be found on the database: compare for example references: WMID-3326E, HAMP-58B2E4 and GLO-392D12.

SWYOR-8B9A4C: FERRULE
A copper alloy possible ferrule or terminal probably from a Post Medieval swagger stick, riding crop or cane. It consists of a socketed shaft, of approximately 6.5mm internal diameter (11.4mm external), terminating in a flattened, hemispherical head of diameter 17.8mm. The head is decorated with a central, circular depression, surrounded by a number of narrow, closely spaced, radial grooves. Beneath the head is a pair of narrow, circumferential grooves. The lower part of the shaft has broken away and is missing. The remaining portion is 25.4mm long. It weighs 18.54gm. The small size of the ferrule make it likely to have been from a crop or swagger stick rather than from a staff, walking stick or cane. The similarity of the design to 17th and 18th century buttons has led to a late Post Medieval date being suggested, but an earlier date and alternative function cannot be ruled out. Compare the larger PUBLIC-80B4E2. An Iron Age linch pin terminal is one other possibility, but there is no trace of any ferrous corrosion.

SWYOR-8C96EE: COIN
A medieval silver coin: a penny of Edward II (1307 - 1327), probably Class 10cf6, London mint. It is 18.7mm in diameter and 0.7mm thick. It weighs 1.32gm. Reference: North, volume 2, number 1043/2.

SUSS-8C9294: COIN
A copper alloy Roman nummus of Constantine I, dating from AD 321 (Reece period 16). BEATA TRANQUILLITAS reverse type depicting Altar inscribed with VOT/IS/XX and surmounted by globe. Mint of Trier. Cf. RIC VII, p. 191, probably nos. 305-306. Because of surface wear on the obverse, some attributes of the bust are unclear. It is likely that the bust is wearing the trabea and holding an eagle-tipped spear in left hand, rather than right.

SUSS-8CAFF1: VESSEL
A rim sherd of a post-medieval glazed red earthenware vessel, probably a lid seated jar or pipkin, dated to c.1500-1700. The exterior surface is of an even medium grey colour with traces of dark glaze on the interior surface. The core is of an even dark red colour. The original diameter of the vessel is estimated to be approximately 180 mm. The sherd measures 82.1 mm long, 33.5 mm wide, 9.1 mm thick and weighs 38.8 grams.

SUSS-8CC0D9: VESSEL
A rim sherd of a post-medieval glazed red earthenware bowl, dated to the mid 16th to 17th centuries. The exterior surface is unglazed and the interior surface is glazed, with a degraded yellow-green glaze and marks from where it has been in contact with corroded iron. The original diameter of the vessel is estimated to be approximately 200 mm. The sherd measures 63.1 mm long, 56.9 mm wide, 7.5 mm thick and weighs 45.6 grams.

SUSS-8CD03D: VESSEL
A body sherd from a post-medieval green glazed borderware vessel, dated to the 16th century and possibly an example of Tudor green. The sherd is curved in both directions, suggesting it is from the widest section of a vessel such as a jug. It has splashes of green glaze on the outer surface and a green glaze on the inner surface. The fabric of the vessel is visible from old worn breaks and is pale and even in colour. The sherd measures 61.9 mm long, 38.4 mm wide, 3.2 mm thick and weighs 10.0 grams.

The original diameter of the vessel is estimated to be around 120 mm. The sherd measures 55.2 mm long, 29.3 mm wide and is 27.8 mm in height from the base of the foot to the inner surface of the base of the vessel and weighs 17.8 grams. The foot is similar to LON-DE4160.

SUSS-8CF137: VESSEL
A rim sherd of a post-medieval glazed red earthenware dish or bowl, dated to the mid 16th to 17th centuries. The sherd has an everted rim, thickened on the outside. The exterior surface is of a dark red colour, with a brown glaze on the inner surface. The core is visible from old, worn breaks and is of a dark red colour with a dark grey core towards the inner surface. The sherd is too small to measure the original diameter of the vessel but the slightness of the curve suggests that it was large. The sherd measures 59.0 mm long, 51.3 mm wide, 16.2 mm thick (rim), 9.2 mm thick (wall) and weighs 38.9 grams.

SUSS-8D05A6: VESSEL

SUR-8F221C: PENANNULAR RING
A gold penannular ring of near-circular cross section. Bands of yellow and paler, silver-rich gold are clearly visible on the inside of the band, less so on the outer circumference where this decorative effect is very worn. Examination suggests that the ring is solid. An addition to a well known series of decorative rings. This example is the third from Surrey to be recorded under the Treasure Act.

SUR-8F4A0C: BROOCH
A penny of Eadgar, AD959-975 (EMC 2014.0296); parts of the circumference are missing in two areas. The obverse has been gilded. The edge of a small circular hole survives in the edges of one of the breaks which, together with the gilding, suggests that the coin was converted into a brooch, the hole being one of two used to attach a pin. The coin is of a previously unrecorded type. In view of the missing portions the best guess is that the obverse would originally have read EA / DG / AR / REX (in a design reminiscent of the Luda penny of Alfred); it would fit in with other revivals of earlier coin-types in the pre-Reform coinage of Eadgar (e.g. London monogram of Alfred on London halfpennies). The Alpha/Omega on the reverse is comparable to types which place odd letters in the field (but not Alpha and Omega). The reverse inscription is fragmentary, but the second visible part appears to be ... O[with macron] SCEF..., so this is a coin of Shaftesbury. However, the segment of moneyer's name visible earlier (...ÐELM...) does not match the one moneyer's name known for Edgar's pre-reform coinage at Shaftesbury (Leofstan). It is most likely that the moneyer is Æthelmaer, as there was a moneyer of that name at Shaftesbury in Æthelred II's First Hand type.

SUR-911882: JETTON
A worn copper alloy Nuremberg jetton of Lion of St. Mark type, c 1500-1600.

NMGW-8D945B: BROOCH
Roman copper alloy brooch of Colchester derivative, Polden Hill (Mackreth 2011, Part 3, Group 4.a-b., flat wing ends type), and of 1st century AD date. The brooch is fragmentary and represented by the head and upper bow only and would have been comparatively substantial (with a surviving length of 37.8mm, a surviving depth of 17.5mm and a weight of 14.0g). The missing spring was likely to have been secured between lateral lugs now lost. There is the stub of a corroded lug on the head, suggesting that the brooch employed a Polden Hill, lug Type arrangement. The wings are heavily truncated, only partially surviving on one side (with a width of 19.5mm and a surviving length of 5.1mm). Curved mouldings are discernible on the sides of the head (with a width of 14.5mm) and lug on the head to tension the chord, appears to have developed into a decorative midrib. A column of punched rings are discernible on one side of the upper bow but all other detail has been lost. The upper bow is of sub-triangular to D-shaped section with straight sides converging towards the break (where the bow has a width of 8mm and a thickness of 7.5mm). The brooch has a burnt clay core of casting material with a comparatively thin copper alloy skin (1mm thick). The core is circular at the break on the bow (with a diameter of 5mm) and is also evident within the head, behind the missing spring. The copper alloy is heavily corroded with a pale-green patina and areas of bright green corrosion. The fragmentary nature of the brooch makes typological identification uncertain but the form is consistent with Polden Hill brooches of late 1st -early 2nd century AD date. The casting involving a clay core is an interesting feature in the brooch and is difficult to parallel. The casting would have involved a high level of expertise and is likely to have resulted in a considerably weaker brooch. The advantages of casting around a core are not immediately obvious, beyond achieving a lower weight for what would have been a comparatively large brooch.

NMGW-8E1549: BROOCH
Roman copper alloy bow brooch of Colchester derivative, Polden Hill (Mackreth 2011, Part 3, Group 4, flat wing cap type), c.f. Mackreth 2011, 4.l, Plate 48. and of 1st to 2nd century AD date. The brooch is fragmentary missing the leg and wings (with a surviving length of 29.0mm, a surviving depth of 10.9mm and a weight of 3.8g). The brooch employed a spring mechanism, now missing, probably behind wings with perforated terminals, now lost (with a surviving width of 11.9mm). Above the head is the remnant of a hook to tension the chord. The head has curved mouldings on the sides (giving a width of 8.5mm). Much of the decorative detail on the brooch has been lost; there is the suggestion of a midrib running along the bow, now heavily worn and corroded. The bow is of D-shaped section, with straight sides gradually converging to the break. A slight rib on the rear of the bow, above the break suggests the start of the catch-plate. The surface has a dark-brown patina with areas of bright green corrosion.

NMGW-8E4D47: VESSEL
Post medieval copper alloy cooking vessel handle fragment from a posnet or skillet of 16th to 17th century date The fragment is the handle terminal from a cooking vessel (with a surviving length of 77.4mm and a weight of 156.5g). The handle is of D-shaped section at the break (with a width of 28.6mm and a thickness of 12.4mm) with straight and near-parallel sides before the terminal. The handle has a rounded step down to the terminal (10.4mm deep and giving an overall depth of 20.3mm), which has a rounded end. The body of the handle has a grooved border each side and a central decorative motif with an oval groove discernible before the break, now heavily-worn but possibly depicting the letter 'O' or number '0'. The surface has a mid-green patina and is worn with a number of casting flaws discernible.

NMGW-8E7004: LID
Copper alloy hinged lid, probably of post medieval date The object comprises the complete lid only (with a length of 48.1mm and a weight of 13.5g). The hinge has a single, central lug (10.6mm high, 12.3mm long and 2.8mm thick, giving the lid an overall depth of 15.0mm) with a large sub-circular aperture (6.2mm diameter). The body is sub-circular (25.8mm long, 23.9mm wide and 4.8mm deep) and is deeper at the hinge end (7.4mm compared to 6.2mm). Along the edge of the base are a series of indentations, now corroded but not perforations. There is a sub-rectangular lug on the outside edge (10.9mm long, 9.6mm wide and 2.0mm - 3.3mm thick). The lug has a sub-rectangular slot (7.2mm x 4.0mm) and was likely to have been used to secure the lid. The underside is flat and has no decoration. The surface has brown corrosion. It is difficult to determine the exact use and date of the lid, the heavy nature of the casting, lack of perforations and locking lug would suggest the lid was not from a seal box.

NMGW-8FA96E: ANNULAR BROOCH
Medieval copper alloy annular buckle / brooch of 13th to 14th century date The buckle is of annular type and is complete (with a weight of 2.4g). The annular frame is sub-circular (with an external diameter of 19.6mm - 20.9mm and internal 14.8mm - 15.7mm) and of faceted, oval section (2.4mm thick and 2.1mm - 2.8mm wide). There is no discernible decoration on either face of the frame. There is no constriction for the pin on the frame but there is a notch. The pin is present (with a length of 21.3mm) and of consistent D-shaped section (1.7mm wide and 1.3mm thick) with its loop simply wrapped around the frame (with a diameter of 6.0mm). The pin shaft is concave across its length. The surface has a dark-brown patina. Egan & Pritchard (1991, p 64-5)[1] noted the difficulty of distinguishing plain annular brooches from buckles and decided to use the presence of a pin restriction on the frame to identify a brooch, categorising this example as a buckle.

NLM-8C621C: BROOCH
Copper alloy brooch fragment. Cast concavo-convex hollow backed side or top knob from an Early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. A hemispherical or half round terminal with two deep moulded grooves, and with a rib between and after the grooves. Incised decoration comprises a finely incised line at the inner end of the terminal, and similar paired lines on the ribs. A sub-rectangular bevelled tab and a probably drilled fixing hole relate to the attachment of the knob to the head of the brooch; the outer end bears two rust spots and a pinhole within suggesting the loss of an iron fixing pin, possibly in the lifetime of the brooch as there is no rust staining within. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 500-600. Length: 20.3mm, Width: 10.5mm, Thickness (overall): 6.6mm, Weight: 3.23gms.

Lead steelyard weight. Cast rectangular section slightly tapered weight with a worn oval aperture at the top and a knife-cut tying notch above it. In profile the object is stepped, reducing its thickness here to 8mm, with the suspension hole passing through the narrower upper part of the object. Patinated overall. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410. Height: 41.6mm, Width: 20.1mm, Thickness: 18.9mm, Weight: 99.80gms.

NCL-8D5339: SEAL MATRIX
A cast lead-alloy seal matrix of the Medieval period, c. 1200-1500. The seal matrix is a flat, pointed oval in shape with a single lug emerging out from the reverse of the seal matrix at one tip. The face is decorated with a fleur-de-lis in the centre, with thin stalk bearing a trefoil head emerging at an angle in each upper quarter of the fleur-de-lis. There is an inscription around the exterior, but it is too low in relief to read clearly or take a legible impression. Those elements than can be read are: EVEDE IO[...]

NCL-8D75FA: WEIGHT
A cast lead-alloy weight of the Post-Medieval period, c. 1600-1800. The weight is triangular in plan and trapezoidal in section. An iron suspension hook seems to have been attached to the weight through a hold in its centre, though the iron only remains where it has been pressed against the weight itself, with the suspension loop or hook now missing. It weighs 1.06 oz, suggesting that it was intended as a 1 oz weight.

NCL-8DA776: COIN
A silver denarius of Julia Domna (Reece period 10), VENVS FELIX reverse dating 196-211. As RIC 4 pt1 no. 580. Both faces have some copper corrosion concreted against the surface [not to mistake the coin as silver-plated].

NCL-8DC51B: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of Medieval date, c. 1250-1500. The buckle is D-shaped, with a thickened and slightly angled outer frame with an offset crossbar. The crossbar is broken, with the remaining length hooked back. The pin is missing.

NCL-8DE91E: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of Post-Medieval date, c. 1500-1600. The buckle is double-framed, consisting of two D-shaped back-to-back with a cast integral crossbar. The upper and lower frames have mould crescentic decoration to either side of the crossbar, with the outer tips of each cresent flanking the outer frame, such that the outer frame appears to have outward turned 'horns'. The pin is missing.

NCL-8DFD5F: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of Post-Medieval date, c. 1600-1700. The buckle was double-framed, but only one frame remains. This frame is generally trapezoidal in plan with a cast integral crossbar, and a pin made from a triangular length of copper alloy with one end wrapped around the crossbar. The outer frame has a rounded knop at each corner, with a slight projection in the centre of the frame.

NCL-8E656D: COIN
A silver halfpenny of Edward I or III, dating 1279-1356.

LON-8B523A: BROOCH
A medieval gold annular brooch dating to the 13th or 14th century. This brooch is circular in shape with two clasped hands projecting from the frame. There is a double band of chevron ridges at the junction between the projecting hands and the frame. The hands have an oval gap between them and there is a white coating, possibly an adhesive, between them. There is a constriction to accommodate the pin 90 degrees apart from the clasped hands; if the hands project at 6 o'clock, the constriction is at 3 o'clock. The gold pin is present and is decorated with a double band of ridges at the junction between the shaft and the attachment loop; the shaft has a trapezoidal cross-section. The frame has a triangular cross-section and is decorated with an inscription and two quatrefoil motifs. One of these motifs is situated where the tip of the pin rests on the frame (at 9 o'clock) and the other is at 12 o'clock. The inscription is inscribed on both of the faces of the angled front surface. The outer face reads, clockwise from the projecting clasped hands, AV EM AR IA. The letters take the outer edge of the brooch as their base line, so read backwards; they are also written backwards (retrograde) although this can only be seen in the asymmetric letters, the round-backed E and the R. The inner face reads, again clockwise from the clasped hands, GR AC IA PL. The G is unusually shaped and the top of the first A cannot be seen, making it look like an M. The I looks more like a star. The lower stroke of the P also cannot be seen and the L appears to be turned through 90 degrees, making it hard to read. The entire inscription, however, is clearly Ave Maria Gracia Plena, or Hail Mary Full of Grace. Dimensions: length: 22.77mm; thickness of clasped hands: 3.55mm; thickness of frame: 0.82mm; diameter: 15.14mm; weight: 1.18g. Similar gold brooches with clasped hands and inscriptions are recorded on the database, KENT-984E65, DENO-1AF752, LVPL-83D8B4 and LIN-9A4B26, all of which have similar clasped hands whose nature suggests that they may have once held a pearl or a gem which has been lost on all these examples. The inscriptions on these brooches are not currently decipherable. Comparable brooches in public collections include one in the British Museum (1849,0301.33) dated to the late 13th or 14th century, and two further examples in the Victoria and Albert Museum, published in Lightbown (1998, catalogue numbers 13 and 14); this dates these brooches to the mid-14th century in England and the 14th century in France.

LON-8C8719: CANNON BALL
An incomplete Medieval stone cannon ball dating between 1200-1400 AD. About two thirds of the cannon ball remain which is likely a caused when shaping rather than as a result of impact. The fact that it was found by the Tower of London would suggest that it was not used and thus discarded as a failed product. Dimensions: diameter: 132.65 mm; weight: 2121g.

LON-8CA99A: TILE
Two incomplete Medieval ceramic floor tile, dating AD 1200-1400. The tiles are square, one has a diagonal line running across one side and the other has traces adhesive on the base. Both have traces of glazed decoration on the outer face, though not enough to discern any pattern. Tiles of this sort are often late Medieval in date, dating from AD 1200-1400. Dimensions: Tile with diagonal groove: length: 113.51 mm; width: 112.74 mm; thickness: 24.39 mm Tile with adhesive: length: 115.01 mm; width: 111.07 mm; thickness: 22.02mm Total weight: 986g.

LON-8DA181: TOKEN
A Post Medieval lead alloy token dating AD 1654. This is a commonwealth token from the reign of Oliver Cromwell (AD 1653-1658). The obverse depicts a cross fourchée within a heater shield. Above it is a garland containing the letters T. K. The reverse depicts the irish harp within a heater shield with a garland above. The inscription reads FOR. NECESSARY. CHANGE. Some variants of this token have sun's rays behind the reverse shield. A parallel can be found in Montagu (1893, 31). Dimensions: diameter: 23.83 mm; weight: 5.79g. Reference: Montagu, H. 1893. The Copper, Tin and Bronze Coinage and Patterns for Coins of England, 2nd Edition. Available online [source: https://archive.org/details/coppertinandbro00montgoog]

LON-8E11BB: PILGRIM BADGE
An incomplete Medieval pilgrim souvenir, dating to the late 15th century. The object is part of a Virgin's girdle souvenir. It is solid cast with an irregularly shaped panel at the base and a bifurcated plate above. One half of the bifurcated plate is no longer present, though traces of it remain on the reverse along the line of a casting seam. A circular perforation, which would have connected the strap end to the strap with a rivet, is still visible. An identical perforation would have been on the other plate. The object is decorated on the external side only. There is a cross hatch decoration on the upper panel. The lower panel is roughly rectangular with three prongs along each of the longest sides and a single prong at the base. All but the basal prong are in the form of flowers. In the centre of the panel is a round boss, with three pellets above. There are pellets bordering the entire lower panel and a linear border around the upper panel. An almost identical example can be found in Spencer (1998, 154d) and it is believed that they are too delicate to be strap-ends, as they appear to be. They are more likely to be fragments from the pilgrim souvenirs of the Virgin's girdle (ibid, 149). Dimensions: length: 26.47 mm; width: 18.91 mm; thickness: 3.42 mm; weight: 2.26g. Reference: Spencer, B. 1998. Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges. The Stationery Office, London.

LON-8EE55A: PENDANT
An incomplete Medieval lead alloy pilgrim souvenir in the form of a rondel dagger scabbard, dating to the 15th century. The object is hollow cast with a round mouthpiece, larger than the rest, at the top and a diamond-shaped body beneath, tapering to the chape. The object has several projections along the body which appear to be casting sprues, suggesting this object is unfinished. The two projections along the mouthpiece would have formed a suspension loop. There is decoration on one side only, presumably the side facing forwards. The decoration consists of a foliate design up the body of the scabbard, with tendrils at various points finishing in buds. There is a border formed of two lines, just below the mouthpiece, which contains a series of crosses. The chape is separated from the body by a similar border, which contains pellets. The mouthpiece is undecorated other than a thickened rim and shoulder. A similar example to this can be found in Spencer, which is dated to the 15th century (Spence, 1998, no. 303). Comparison with similar roundel dagger sheaths from this period may provide a more accurate date. Dimensions: length: 58.45 mm; diameter of mouthpiece: 16.62 mm; diameter of body: 7.46 mm; weight: 8.06g. Reference: Spencer, B. 1998. Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges. The Stationery Office, London.

LON-8EA7E5: PILGRIM BADGE
An almost complete medieval pilgrim badge, or possibly a brooch, dating to the late 14th-early 15th century. The badge is formed of a cast, flat ring with a quatrefoil in the centre. On the reverse are the pin and catch-plate, which follow the line of the casting seam. Along the edge is a small worn projection, which would have formed a suspension loop. The pin has been distorted but is still complete. There are pellets running around the ring and further decoration on the quatrefoil. A central pellet and linear moulded decoration pick out the detail of the quatrefoil, which resembles a flower. Complete examples of this object can be found in Van Beuningen and Koldeweij (1993, nos. 991 and 993). This is a "handgoogje" (hanging eye) badge that had various objects suspended beneath it. Similar objects with a fleur-de-lys centre, associated with the Virgin Mary, have been linked to Canterbury (Spencer 1998, 159), though it is not certain where these quatrefoil examples may originate from. Dimensions: diameter: 15.51 mm; thickness: 3.58 mm; weight: 0.78 g

KENT-8AF796: COIN
An Iron Age Kentish silver unit c. 50-20 BC. Torc Head Pegasus type. ABC number 219.

HESH-8CDEDF: DEBITAGE
Lilly Chitty Collection A Mesolithic microlith / blade / bladelet (7,000 to 4,000 BC), grey in colour. This piece is sub-rectilinear in plan and sub-rectilinear in section, tapering to a point at the distal end. The dorsal face comprises 3 main facets, whilst the ventral face is virtually featureless, save a faint bulb of percussion detectable when felt. One edge displays possible irregular hardhammer retouch, however this could also be due to plough damage. Both the proximal and distal ends show signs of being deliberately snapped, however it must be noted that these features could instead be the result of their storage prior to and including their time within the museum collection. This piece weighs 0.3 grams, measuring 13.97mm in length, 8.66mm in width and 2.87mm in thickness. Source Gravel Colour Grey

DEV-8E2414: DEBITAGE
An assemblage of 15 struck flint or chert flakes from the same area. Some of the flakes have been retouched. The flint type varies from pale grey to dark brown colour. Neolithic to Bronze Age date.

DEV-8E3FC6: DEBITAGE
An assemblage of ten struck flint or chert flakes from the same area. Some of the flakes have been retouched. The flint type varies from pale grey to dark brown in colour. Neolithic to Bronze Age in date.

DEV-8F5046: FINGER RING
A Post-Medieval gold finger-ring with a high hexagonal bezel set on a rosette which holds a pink stone (possibly glass), which does not appear to be original. The shoulders with carved ornament bear the traces of the original black enamel. Dimensions: Weight: 3.91 g Diameter (without setting): 21.07 mm Thickness of setting: 6.77 mm Height of setting: 8.33 mm Width of setting: 7.22 mm Discussion: The finger-ring is stylistically similar to a finger-ring in the British Museum's collection (AF.2023) which is also dated to the 16th to 17th century. Conclusion: This object is made from at least 10% precious metal and is over 300 years old and therefore qualifies as Treasure as defined by the Treasure Act 1996.

DEV-908705: FLOOR TILE
A Medieval to Post Medieval ceramic floor tile. The tile was originally square in shape with two flat faces and four sides. The tile is now broken with approximnately 30 percent of the tile now missing. The front face has remains of a cream slip which makes up a pattern, possibly of a fleu-de-lis, at the centre within a circle or similar. There are no traces of glaze remaining on the surface. The back face is plain; there are two 'spots' or drips of yellow-brown glaze on the back. There are a further two small drips of a darker brown glaze on both of the original sides. The fabric is a pink-buff colour with traces of iron and possible quartz inclusions.

BERK-8DD525: TOY
A cast lead alloy shy-cock toy dating to the 18th century AD. The shy-cock is single-sided with moulded decoration indicating tail and body feathers and a crude beak and eye. The reverse is plain and undecorated. It sits on a small subcircular base enabling to stand. Shy-cocks may have derived from the Shrove Tuesday pursuit of casting stones or cudgels at a live cockerel which was either tied down or buried up to its neck in the ground (Forsyth & Egan 2005: 239). By the later post-medieval period this barbaric custom had generally been replaced by toys such as these.
