LIN-EE1C4F: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy birdlip-type brooch dating to the late Iron Age to Roman period (c. 50 BC to AD 50). The brooch has a loop extending back from the head and tapering into what would have been the spring but now terminates in a worn break. From the head the brooch curves at a near right angle down towards the foot, where it starts to curve back outwards again slightly. The tight curve of the bow is decorated with two semi-circles in relief with the curved edges facing each other. Below this motif are three raised horizontal ribs, the middle one of which is waisted above and below the rib. The rest of the bow is bevelled towards the foot. Just above the foot is a small projection with a single upsidedown triangle or V-shaped decoration. It is possible the decoration on the brooch represents a stylised animal but it is not certain. On the reverse the catchplate is mostly intact. The pin and spring are missing. The overall dimensions are as follows: 53.05mm in length, 7.56mm in width, 15.62mm in depth and 5.91g in weight.

CORN-EDF230: BUCKLE
Copper alloy belt plate that would have been attached to a single looped buckle. The plate was cut from a sheet of copper alloy. In plan it has a circular terminal, a triangular projection mid-way along on each side, followed a wider D-shaped section close to the opposite end that would have attached to the buckle. The bar of the 'D' is terminated by a small projection at each end. Beyond this the end of the plate is narrower and has been folded backwards and then fastened to the D-shaped section using two rivets. The strap-bar of the buckle was held by the folded end of the plate, the leather belt sandwiched between the fold and secured by the two rivets, still intact. A third rivet at the centre of the sub-circular terminal would provide additional strength to the attachment of the belt to the plate. A slot in the folded rectangle provided a space for the buckle pin to rotate around the bar. Both buckle and pin are missing although the configuration of the folded end of the plate indicates that the buckle frame was likely to have been D-shaped, to match the adjacent section of the plate. The outer surface of the plate is decorated by a series of incised lines which begin between the two rivets at the buckle end and curve outwards to the edges at the triangular projections. The plate as a whole looks like a horse's head from above and the lines may represent harness or armour. Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar engraved and waisted plate with a rounded end, three rivets and a D-shaped buckle frame on page 18, no.48 which is dated from c.1250-1500.

NMS-EDE87C: POT
Ceramic base sherd from a Roman Samian ware vessel, such as a dish or bowl, dating to the period c. AD 120 - 260. Part of the foot ring and the floor of the vessel, projecting at a shallow angle from the top of the foot ring. The fabric is a buff orange colour and is fully oxidised. It is hard and exhibits frequent micaceous inclusions and occasional poorly sorted limestone inclusions. The sherd is heavily abraded, but retains a small amount of lustrous dark orange/red slip. The vessel likely derives from the central Gaulish Lezoux production centre.

CORN-EDE5FE: THIMBLE
Cast copper alloy thimble, bent out of shape in plan so that it is no longer circular, but still slightly conical in profile with a rounded crown. The thimble is complete but flattened on one side with worn patches around the outer surface and a small tear at the base where it has been crushed into a point. There is a plain raised border around the base that is 2.3 mm in depth, and above this the thimble is covered with drilled irregular circular pits, spaced at five per cm in circumferential rings. At the crown at the top of the dome the pits have been spaced in pairs like petals around a central pair to produce a rosette shape. The thimble is of a heavy-duty type, made of metal that is around 2 mm thick at the base. Egan (2010) illustrates similar thimbles on p.267, fig.206, nos.830-831, dating from c.1400-1450. Read (1988) illustrates a similar example on p.76, no.431, which is dated from the 15th century.

BERK-EDE04F: BROOCH

There is no border around the base. The thimble is complete but worn and with slight damage around the edge of the base. The thimble is of a heavy-duty type with the metal fairly thick, around 1.5mm at the base, thickening towards the dome. Egan (2010) illustrates a similar thimble on p.267, fig.206, no.831 dating from c.1400-1450. Read (1988) illustrates a similar example on p.76, no.431, which is dated from the 15th century.

CORN-EDC8FF: HARNESS MOUNT
Cast copper alloy enamelled stud in the form of a shield with an integral cylindrical shank that is circular in section, 3 mm in diameter, projecting 8 mm from the back. On the front of the shield there are three irregularly shaped patches of dark blue enamel that remain along the top edge of the shield and a fourth at the point. Very slight traces of enamel remain in the central part of the shield and these also appear to be dark blue. The shape of the space between the patches of enamel at the top of the shield vaguely resembles the shoulders and head of a beast facing left with its tail behind, so possibly a lion rampant. And there is also space for the foot of the lion within the fourth patch at the base of the shield. The overall impression is of a design with a dark blue background, with a central design of an heraldic beast. Heraldic studs were used to decorate harness and other straps as well as scabbards and stirrups and were most popular from the later 13th to the 14th century (Griffiths, Shield-shaped Mounts, Finds Research Group 700-1700, Datasheet 12, Oxford, 1989:1). Clark (2004) Illustrates a similar stud but with lions passant, from a 14th century site at Billingsgate, London on p.70, fig.53, no.77. Read (2001) illustrates a similar stud with a gold lion rampant on a blue enamel field on p.32, fig.17, no.257, which is dated from c.1280-1350.

CORN-EDBD2D: COIN

NMGW-ED70E6: AMPULLA
~~Medieval lead pilgrim's ampulla of 15th or 16th century date The ampulla is incomplete, missing much of the neck on one face (with a length of 47.9mm and a weight of 26.2g). The mouth is damaged and not present on one face (with a width of 25.6mm). The neck appears to have had straight sides, slightly converging towards the body.

SUSS-ED215C: LINCH PIN
An incomplete copper-alloy and iron linch pin of Late Iron Age - Early Roman date (c.100BC-100 AD). The object comprises the terminal and part of the Iron shank of the linch pin. The terminal is a crescent of copper alloy that has transverse ridges. Projecting from the middle of the crescent is the tie loop. This has a straight projection on the bottom and a scrolled loop that attaches to the arch of the crescent. Behind the loop, on the arch apex of the crescent, there is a flat rectangular section. The loop projects at a right angle from the iron pin that emerges from the underside of the crescent arch. The iron pin is quite corroded and has lost much of its mass. The pin is in fact 'T' shaped, and the cross bar of the T is encased within the copper alloy that has been cast around it. This is visible on the back of the object. Part of the iron core of one of the 'arms' of the crescent is visible at the end of the tapering arm, where the copper-alloy coating has been lost. The bottom of the iron pin has been lost, along with the copper-alloy bottom terminal. A close parallel can be found in PAS record IOW-BA3016, which is dated by finds from Brading villa (Tomalin 1987, 73, ref. F51) and a 'Belgic' pin from Tiddington, Warwickshire (Fox 1958, 120-21, fig. 74, no. 2).

NMS-ECFF65: VESSEL
Incomplete medieval to post medieval leg from a cooking vessel such as a cauldron, posnet or skillet dating to the period c. AD1300 - 1700. The leg has a worn break at the top and bottom and is D-shaped in cross-section with a central mid-rib running down the front. Traces of sooting are visible. The vessels to which these were attached were usually of a tripod form and were widely used from circa AD 1200-1700 for serving and cooking. Butler and Green (2003) 15, state 'there is evidence that (cast copper alloy) metal cooking vessels became increasingly common during the 13th and 14th centuries'. While certain specialist cast copper alloy vessels such as skillets remained in use for longer, 'bronze cauldrons in general seem to have been superseded in the early years of the 18th century by cast iron which were cheaper to make and more durable' (ibid; 22).

NMGW-ECF9A3: BROOCH
Roman copper alloy bow brooch of Trumpet type and of 1st or 2nd century AD date The brooch is incomplete, missing the pin and lower part of the leg (with a surviving length of 35.5mm, a surviving depth of 17.0mm and a weight of 9.1g). The missing pin appears to have been hinged, rather than sprung, as is more usual on Trumpet brooches. At the rear of the head is a groove to accommodate the axis bar and at the centre a square recess to allow the pin to hinge. The hinge was likely to have been enclosed but is now truncated. The trumpet head is oval (16.8mm wide and 11.4mm long) and now heavily corroded and pitted, which has removed any decoration. There is the suggestion of a recess adjacent to the top edge. The top of the bow appears to have been of sub-triangular section and may have had a grooved border at the head (9mm wide and 7.4mm thick). Corrosion has also removed the decoration from the upper bow. The button was of acanthus form and extends onto the rear of the bow. The leg is of triangular section and the corroded remnants of the start of the catch-plate are evident on the rear. The leg had a decorative midrib but other detail has been lost. The original surface has been lost and now has a pale-green corrosion.

ESS-EC597C: COIN HOARD
Two early medieval gold tremisses, probably dating to the early-mid seventh century. The first coin is Merovingian, and probably from Tidiriciacum (identified by Belfort as Trizay-sur-Lezay, and by Depeyrot as Thiré, both in the Vendée). The reverse inscription indicates a moneyer named Witta (VVITA) in whose name coins with this mint signature have been recorded.1 Although the obverse inscription is mostly illegible, the visible letters are consistent with a reading of TIDIRIACO, as the mint name appears on other known coins of VVITA. The second coin is an early Anglo-Saxon gold tremissis of the ‘Witmen derived’ type 1, otherwise best known from the Crondall hoard, and probably from the same die combination as Sutherland’s O2/R5.2 No. Type Date W (g) Diam (mm) Die Axis Obverse Reverse Notes (1) Merovingian tremissis from Tidiriciacum (cf. Belfort 4306-4309; Depeyrot 10-2A; 20-4A [1]) c.585 – c.675 1.29 11.2 ? -------ICO; profile bust (unclear), twin wreath ties VVГTAMON; cross on steps The reverse inscription contains a rendering of the name Witta, known from the mint Tidiriciacum; type unlisted in Depeyrot and Belfort (2) Anglo-Saxon tremissis, ‘Witmen derived 1’; Sutherland O2/R5 (no.61, p.90).[2] c. 630-c. 650 1.29 12 No inscription; right facing bust and trident VV\IIIvIEMo[NП]: (inscription retrograde) cross fourchée The inscription is a partial reversed rendering of the legend ‘Witmen Moneta’, with superfluous or additional characters (as is common in coins of this type) Discussion: Both of these coins are rare, and the discovery of early Anglo-Saxon and continental gold tremisses together is of particular interest for understanding the nature of early gold economies in England and the circulation of foreign/domestic currency. In addition, coin 1 is possibly of a previously unknown type for this mint/moneyer. In composition and date, this small hoard bears striking similarity to other small mixed gold hoards from Shalfleet on the Isle of Wight in 2016/2017 (2016 T596 / 2017 T545) and Hampshire in 2016 (2016 T960), as well as a number of other finds of sixth-seventh century continental or pseudo-continental gold coins from the coastal counties of England’s south coast, esp. Kent. The hoard was probably deposited around the middle of the seventh century, and no earlier (on the basis of current type-chronologies) than c.630. Recommendation: The coins have a precious metal content that exceeds 10% and are considerably more than 300 years old. It is therefore recommended that the finds detailed in this report be considered Treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act, 1996. Author: Dr Thomas Williams (British Museum), 13 September 2018.

WMID-EAA41A: SEAL MATRIX
An incomplete lead alloy vesica shaped seal matrix dating to the Medieval period, circa AD 1150-1400. The seal when complete would have been broadly pointed oval (vesica) shaped in profile. The seal has been made in one piece with an integrally moulded suspension loop at the reverse. The suspension loop has a circular piercing, although the loop has now been flattened and damaged against the seal. The front face is decorated with a central fleur-de-lys design around which is inscribed the legend starting at 12 0'clock: S 'ISAB[ELLE] RELICT h This was probably be used as a personal seal, for a female called Isabella or Isabel, the relict meaning widow, of whom is uncertain. The reverse is undecorated. The object has a mid-cream coloured patina across both faces. Cherry (1997:p128) states that in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries many seals were produced in lead or copper alloy which had simple devices on them such as stars, fleur-de-lys or religious subjects, and the owners names. Cherry (1997:p.133) also discusses how personal seals were often carried on the person usually in a leather pouch or were attached to the belt by a chain. Some seals may also have been worn around the neck, attached by the loop as seen on this example. The object measures 31.9 mm in length, 20.7 mm in width, 2.2 mm in thickness (including the loop) and weighs 19.1 grams. Cherry, J., (1997) in Collon, D. 7000 Years of Seals.

At the upper end the plate bifurcates. Each plate possesses two circular perforations. One is filled with a small circular-section copper-alloy rivet. The lower end of the object tapers to form a rounded terminal in the form of a moulded animal head. The upper surface of the object is decorated with an incised sub-rectangular field enclosing a stylised zoomorphic motif. Above this is a zone containing an incised saltire cross. The underside of the strap end is plain. The strap end measures 31mm in length, is a maximum of 10mm wide and has a maximum thickness of 3mm. The two circular perforations each measure 1mm in diameter. The strap end weighs 1.76 g..

DUR-EA8A9B: CLOTH SEAL
An incomplete lead cloth seal dating to the Post Medieval period (AD1600-1700). The seal is a single circular disc with knop on the reverse and a casting mark. The obverse is decorated with what is possibly the figure of a king holding a sceptre, with an inscription to the right of the figure. The only letters visible are a letter E or L and I. The casting seems to be slightly off-centre hiding some of the detail and inscription. The seal would possibly have been bifurcated; the other disc is missing. This type of seal was widely used during the 17th and 18th centuries but could also have been used at a later date and could have been used to seal a variety of materials. Thickness 1.59mm, weight 4.5g, diameter 19.94mm.

WMID-EA8A5C: COIN WEIGHT
A Late Medieval/Post Medieval copper-alloy uniface coin weight for a gold angel, circa AD 1464 - 1604. The weight is circular and flat with a design in light relief on one face, the other face is plain. The design is of St Michael facing forward, standing on and spearing a dragon. The legs of St Michael are bent and he has a halo around his head. The spear is held from top left to lower right. The design is within a double border that is located around the circumference of the coin weight. The angel was first issued in AD 1464 and weights of this type were produced in Britain from the 15th and 16th centuries (Withers and Withers 1995:21). The angel was issued at 80 grains from AD 1464-1604 before being reduced in weight. This weight is for the higher weight standard pre-AD 1604 although the weight has been reduced due to wear and corrosion. There are other examples recorded on the PAS database including; SOM-49711C discovered in Wiltshire and SF-124AA4 discovered in Suffolk. The coin weight measures 16.5 mm in diameter, 2.9 mm in thickness and weighs 3.6 grams (55 grains).

BH-E9B4D5: SEAL MATRIX
A fragment of a copper-alloy seal matrix with multiple dies dating to the seventeenth century AD. The seal matrix comprises a central circular loop from which two surviving dies extend, with the stem of a further die visible. Each stem is circular in section and terminates in a flared circular die featuring an engraved designs within a circular border. The designs comprise an anchor and a ship with three sails. According to (Read 1988, 152; 1030, 1031) such multi die matrices tend to date to the seventeenth century AD. The fragment measures 31mm in length with each die measuring 12mm in length and 11mm in width. For a similar but more complete example recorded by the PAS, see: WILT-286419

NMS-E9A646: CLOTH SEAL
Incomplete post medieval lead two-disc cloth seal dating to the period c. AD 1500 - 1700. One disc is smooth, with no trace of any design visible. Projecting from one side is the stub of the xconnecting strip. The second disc is incomplete and exhibits traces of a relief knotwork design, possibly a merchant's mark.

BH-E983FA: BADGE
A lead-alloy badge dating to the thirteenth or fourteenth century AD. The badge is flat and circular in plan. The upper surface is decorated with a range of integrally-cast ribbed decoration comprising two concentric circles. This creates two ring-shaped cells and a central circular cell. Each ring-shaped cell contains evenly-spaced circular knops whilst the central circular cell contains a cross-shaped rib with a knop at the end of each arm and at its centre. On the underside of the badge there is a rectangular-section lug which has been bent over to form a hook and a further two small lugs which would originally have secured a pin. The badge has a crease running its length suggesting that it was folded at the point of discovery. Whether the folding was a deliberate act or happened post-deposition is uncertain. The badge measures 37mm in diameter and a maximum of 12mm in thickness. It weighs 16.64g.

NMS-E97837: KEY (LOCKING)
Late medieval to post medieval copper alloy key dating to the period c. AD 1500 - 1600.

See: Read, B, 2017, p. 72, nos. 564 - 567.

DUR-E95A47: STRAP END
An incomplete possible strap end of Post Medieval period (AD1500-1700). The object is roughly rectangular in shape with a wider damaged end. The narrower end is rounded and, at the wider end, the damaged edge has been folded over on one side. The other side has a deep cut into the side and has been slightly folded back. Halfway down the object is a folded hook; a similar hook would have been on the other side. These would have been used as part of the attachment to a leather strap. On the other side near the wider end there seems to be a casting error with the metal having run slightly. There is no sign of any decoration on the object. The object is described as a strap end as the hooks would seem to indicate it having been attached to a leather strap. It is fairly crude in terms of manufacture, and may possibly have been used for a low status and/ or purely functional set of harness. Length 54.59mm, width at widest point 24.99mm, width at narrowest point 13.73mm, thickness 1.94mm, weight 18.2g.

SOM-E93D66: BUCKLE
A Medieval gilded copper alloy buckle with integral plate, dating to the mid thirteenth to mid fourteenth century. The frame of the buckle is incomplete, having lost about 30 to 40 per cent to worn breaks. The frame appears to have originally been sub-circular or oval in plan but all that remains are two prongs. These are sub-circular in cross-section, with a diameter of approximately 1.6mm. One of them is bent about 40 degrees in opposition to the intended curve of the frame. The plate appears to be complete. It may be missing a small fraction of its tip due to wear or a worn break. It is 35.2mm long and tapers from a width of 11.6mm at the frame to 4.4mm at the tip. The taper is interrupted by a very subtle bulge around the perimeter of a rivet hole, 3.7mm from the tip. The plate is 1.7mm thick, flat in cross-section and is has become bent outwards (away from the plane of the strap it would have been attached to) into a slight curve. It is perforated by three holes. The first, already mentioned, is near the tip. The other two are close to the frame (6.7 and 1.6mm from it). They are all aligned centrally along the longitudinal axis. The first hole is circular and is the largest (3.7mm in diameter). The second hole is also circular and is the smallest (1.8mm). The third is oval (3.6 x 2.2mm). This third hole is separated from the frame by a narrowed and recessed bar, around which the pin of the buckle would have been looped. It is possible that its ovality is due to wear caused by the movement of the pin loop. The other two holes would have accommodated the rivets which fixed the plate to a strap. The front of the plate is decorated by a floral motif, originally inciised but now prominet as th gilding has survived in this area and protected it as the rest of the surface has corroded. The design has a long straight stem that rises from the first rivet hole and terminates about two millimetres from the second. From the stem sprout five pairs of leaves (one on each side), which point upwards (towards the second hole). The first pair are partly obscured by the first rivet hole. The final two pairs are noticeably longer than the first three and the final pair has an extra spot of gilt in between. The second rivet hole and the pin loop hole are bordered by two parallel lines. They are distinguished by having a light-brown patination (where the surrounding surface is green and dark-brown) and traces of red-yellow gilt. These lines are subtly wavy. They begin at the edge of the frame and taper to a point on either side of the second rivet hole. Between these lines, there is another pair of tapering wavy lines which start together at the edge of the loop-hole and separate to form a V-shape as they extend towards the second rivet hole. The rear of the plate is undecorated. There is a short, narrow ridge about mid-way between the two rivet holes and aligned longitudinally, and traces of another, with the same alignment, running between the first rivet hole and the tip. This is probably a casting seam. The length of the piece including plate and frame prongs is 42.8mm. It weighs 3.00g A pair of similar examples is illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991: 79), Nos. 320 and 321, which are described as possible spur buckles dating from the mid thirteenth to mid fourteenth century.

An incomplete copper alloy dress or hair pin. Only the head and a very small portion of the stem survives. The head is cuboid and rectangular in cross-section, each panel is faceted, with cut corners and a flat lozengiform front panel. The stem is circular in cross-section and bent out of shape. Date: Roman - c. 250 - 450 AD Dimensions: 15.76 mm x 6.94 mm Weight: 2.97 g Similar pins have been recorded on the database: WAW-7421DC, SF-DC75CA, SWYOR-8D2FC3. In database record DOR-53ACEF for a similar object, Lucy Bevan notes that that example belongs to Cool's (1990, 164) group 15 for which she suggests a 3rd or 4th century date. Three examples were excavated at Colchester (Crummy 1983, 29, nos.486, 487, 490), one in the late or sub-Roman topsoil at Balkerne Lane and other in a period 2 context (c.320-c.450 AD) at Butt Road, together suggesting a late or early post-Roman date for this example.

DOR-E7C843: TUMBREL
An incomplete copper alloy trebuchet or tumbrel-type folding coin balance, Approximately half of the tumbrel survives, consisting of half of the vertical casing and half of the balance arm. Part of the hinge mechanism survives. The other side of the balance arm has been broken off. The arm is attached to the rectangular casing, articulating around a transverse axis bar across a retangular aperture in the frame. The casing is a tapering rectangular bar, flattened and thinned at one end and terminating in a point, probably for fixing it to a flat surface. The other end is hollowed on the underside accomodate the arm folding away. At the end of the casing is a rounded, faceted terminal with a transverse collar before it. On the upper face of the casing, adjacent to the framed aperture where the balance arm is attached, is a rectangular moulding decorated with incised cross hatching.
