Post Medieval copper alloy double looped buckle frame dating to AD 1350 to 1650. The buckle has two oval loops divided by a narrowed and recessed axis bar. The bar has slight knops at each end. The front is convex and the back is flat. The buckle is deformed in such a way that each loop curves giving a concave profile. The surface is covered by a brown-green patina. No decoration.
The frame measures 37.3 mm in length, 25.8 mm in width, 2.5 mm in thickness and weighs 4.03 g.
This style of buckle is quite common and numerous examples are documentedon this database. Compare similar examples published by Whitehead (2003; 54).

Medieval or Post Medieval copper alloy foot from a cooking vessel probably dating to AD 1200 to 1650. The foot is trapezoidal in section and with three narrow ribs on the outer surface. The piece measures 60.7 mm in length, 35.2 mmin width, 26.7 mm in thickness and weighs 147.03 g.
Cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from AD 1200 to 1700. Legs and feet are the most commonly recorded find and Butler et alii (2009, 4) suggest there were four main types of leg used. This is an example of Type A which seems to have been in widespread use in te medieval period with some examples continuing into the early 17th century.

Post Medieval copper alloy double looped buckle frame dating to AC 1550 to 1650. The buckle has two oval loops with moulded rosette decoration on the outer edge of each loop and lobed knops at either end of the central strap bar. The pin is missing. The front is convex and the back is flat and undecorated. The buckle is deformed in such a way that one loop curves in a convex profile. It surface has a green patina with traces of iron corrosion on the upper surface of the right rosette.
The frame measures 42.3 mm in length, 30.8 mm in width, 2.6 mm in thickness and weighs 6.41 g.
Similar buckles with more rounded rosettes tend to be attributed a later 16th-century date (Egan 2005, 35; ref. 88, found in a 17th century context but assumed to be residual), although the type must pre-date 1545 as it was found on the Mary Rose (Gardiner ed. 2005, 104; ref. 82A5069). Numerous comparible examples can be seen recorded on this database, as well as published by Margeson (1993: 31, no. 174). An example with a similarly pointed frame is illustrated by Whitehead (2006: 66, no. 410), which he dates to AD 1550-1650.

Four Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age flint scrapers, probably dating to c. 3,300-1,600BC.
1. A thumbnail scraper worked from a reused primary or secondary flake of grey-brown flint; cortex covers those areas of the dorsal face which do not exhibit retouch, c. 60%. The flake has no clear point or bulb of percussion, with one facet of the dorsal face at the proximal end and the ventral face much more heavily patinated, suggesting the reuse of an older tool. The dorsal face exhibits long, scalar retouch, abrupt along the left edge, becoming semi-abrupt at the distal end and right edge. Length 20.4mm; width 20.9mm; 8.0mm; weight 4.60g.
2. A scraper worked from a reused secondary flake, of pale brown translucent flint with the ventral face and central dorsal facets patinated white; a small amount (c. 10%) of the dorsal face is covered by cortex, at the distal end. The proximal end has been lost to an unpatinated break. A removal, struck from the scar of this break has removed the original right edge of the flake on the doral face. The left edge exhibits Semi-abrupt, long scalar retouch, also unpatinated. 27.4mm; 16.9 mm 8.0mm; weight 3.75g.
3. A scraper worked on a tertiary flake of mottled grey-black flint, a small area of white patina at the proximal end of the ventral face suggests further reuse of older material. A relatively pronounced bulb of percussion survives at the proximal end, with a relatively large bulbar scar. The right edge of the dorsal face exhibits crude, scalar low angle retouch. length 29.7mm; width 19.6mm; thickness 5.5mm; weight 3.47g
4. A small retouched flint flake exhibiting low angle, covering, sub-parallel retouch on both faces, but with the the scars being heavily patinated. The distal end is lost to a patinated break. A small area of probable retouch breaks the patina on the left edge, short, scalar, semi abrupt, however on the opposite edge this is less clearly retouch and both may be post-depositional. length 19.9mm; width 15.8mm; thickness 2.1mm; weight 0.77g.
5. Small flake of debitage, a secondary flake of mottled grey-brown flint, cortex remains along the right dorsal edge. No retouch. A relatively diffuse bulb of percussion survives at the proximal end. length 21.1mm; width 10.0mm; thickness 4.0mm; weight 0.76g.
The relatively crude knapping and extensive evidence for reuse of older material would suggest a later Prehistoric date.

A Roman copper alloy Colchester derivative initial T-shaped brooch, probably dating to c. AD 50-100. The brooch survives largely complete, missing only its pin and with the catchplate incomplete due to abrasion.
At the head of the brooch the wings survive to a width of 24.6mm, these are cylindrical; retaining a copper alloy axis bar in situ, and with a sub-rectangular slot cut into the reverse to accomodate a hinged pin. The wings are c. 4.1mm in diameter, with the reverse of the left wing partially lost. The bow projects from the head with a width of 6.7mm, and is broadly plano-convex in cross-section, c. 4.9mm thick, becoming more rounded down its length and tapering into a pointed, unelaborated foot. The bow is undecorated, but with a possible moulded knop at the point of inflection. An unperforated catchplate projects from the reverse, incomplete due to an abraded break.
Dimensions: length 42.6mm; width 24.6mm; maximum thickness 5.3mm; weight 5.45g.
The form, simple relief cast decoration and lack of head loop all suggest an identification as an Initial T-shaped brooch, dated to the Flavian period by Bayley & Butcher (2004).
