A fragment from a copper alloy strap end of later early medieval (later Anglo-Saxon) date, 800 - 1000 AD. The strap-end is broadly sub-rectangular in plan with two parallel sides. Those sides taper slightly along their length and terminate in an old break near the mid-point. The cross section of the strap end is sub-rectangular (D shaped) and profile is bowed having been folded through movement in the plough soil at the mid-point. The edges of the strap-end are also bevelled. The majority of the strap end is cast as a solid piece, with the exception of the widest part of the terminal …

An incomplete cooper-alloy Early Medieval stirrup mount or terminal, dating to AD 1050-1100. It consists of a semi-circular cross-sectioned element, which has the convex face moulded into an animal head. One end of the mount has signs of breaks, now worn; the other end has a raised collar. The concave face bears traces of soldering. This would have been part of a pair of mounts attached to either shoulders of a stirrup as in Williams (1997, p. 1, fig. 1) or it might have been the upper part of a stirrup terminal with its zoomorphic moulding relief between two raised collar, see W…

Early medieval copper alloy pin probably dates from 720 to 850AD. The shank has a collared head under a spherical head. The head is decorated with a series of raised open circles in recessed borders. The length is 11mm, the width is 8mm thickness 8mm and the weight 3.71g. Cf. LEIC-FA46E1, SWYOR-2FFE70, LIN-95321C SWYOR-2FFE70. Polyhedral-headed pins with ring-and-dot decoration are a common find from Middle-Saxon England, and have been placed in a typology of collared pins by Haldenby (2012) in which he supports a 9th century date.

Object type: GAMING PIECE
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead possible gaming piece. Cast thick cylindrical disc, with numerous crescentic impressions on its underside [as cast], which was probably uneven with an intermittently upstanding rim. Patinated. The mass might suggest this to have represented ten Viking-Age units, as used for silver bullion transactions, though correspondence with the contemporary Danish and Norse systems is less exact than is normally acceptable to this reporter. The castellated edge might rather point to this being a playing piece for a game such as Hnafetafl, in which a King was distinguished from plainer pieces…
