An incomplete whetstone of probable early-medieval date (c. AD 800 - 1100).
Description: The whetstone is formed from a very fine-grained, sedimentary, mica-rich stone. It is sub-trapezoidal in plan with tapering sides and is trapezoidal in cross section although there is significant post-depositional damage that has changed its profile. Both ends are broken, probably in antiquity. Two sides are flat and smooth. The other sides are damaged.
Measurements: Length 86.72mm: Width 25.09mm: Thickness 16.29mm: Weight 63.33g
Discussion: Dating of whetstones is difficult as they were used from the later Iron Age to modern times, however the stone is similar to other mica schist whetstones found at the same location.This, and associated finds, suggests an early-medieval date.

A copper-alloy thimble of early post-medieval date.
Description: The thimble has a tapered body, pointed crown and manually-punched, rectangular pits. The pits on both the body and the crown of the thimble are in a right-hand spiral pattern. The pits on the body begin about one quarter of the way up from the base. Between the pits and the base there is a circumferential groove above a decorated band. The decoration on the band is a pattern of repeated, facing half-annulets.
Measurements: Height 18.16mm: Diameter 15.94mm: Weight 2.24g.
Discussion: This style of thimble is dated to between 1520 and 1650 and was produced in Nuremberg. Read 2018, 42-3. See also an example from the Mary Rose, which sank in 1545 (Gardiner and Allen 2005, 329-40, no. 81 A0807).

An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped buckle c.1350-1650. With just over half of the buckle remaining (29.2mm length and 27.5mm wide) the frame is shallow D-shaped in cross section being rounded on the top and flat on the reverse and waisted adjacent to the narrowed strap bar that has rust traces, indicating an iron pin. The remaining loop is also D-shaped and has a pin notch on the front edge probably more due to wear than design. Thickness 2.3mm and weight 4.2g.

A domed, gilded, cast copper alloy object, possibly a dagger or knife pommel of probable medieval or early post-medieval date, about AD1300 - 1700. The piece is circular in outline and highly domed with angled sides and rounded top. The sides have extensive remains of gilding. The concave back is entirely filled with iron corrosion apart from a small rectangular slot that runs through the corrosion and appears to hold remains of a grained iron substance, either wrought iron or organic material filled with iron corrosion. The copper alloy dome is 19.1mm in diameter, 11.0mm tall and 2.0mm to 2.6 thick at the base. The slot through the iron corrosion is 3.6mm by 2.1mm and 3.0mm deep. The entire piece weighs 6.60g.
Due to the incomplete nature it is hard to parallel this object exactly. While large gilded domed copper alloy heads on rivets are known from early-medieval buckle plates the size and iron corrosion makes this identification less likely. The slot containing the iron appears similar to those seen on ends for whittle tang knives and swords, such as SWYOR-E6C685, a knife form ubiquitous until the 14th century and still produced after that date. However other uses such as a stud cannot be fully ruled out.

A near complete Roman copper alloy hinged Hod Hill brooch, missing only its pin, probably dating to c. AD 43-75. The head of the brooch consists of a sub-rectangular plate rolled over itself to form the wings with a central rectangular slot cut to accommodate a hinged pin; both the pin and axis bar are now lost. The bow of the brooch tapers towards the foot, and is decorated with a longitudinal corded ridge on either edge, flanking a central channel. The foot is offset from the rest of the bow, and is plain. It terminates in a simple knop. An unperforated sub-triangular catchplate projects from the reverse fot he foot, the pin rest curving right. Traces of a white metal coating survive on the lower bow/foot.

The surviving portion comprises of the foot of the brooch, which tapers to an unelaborated point, with an unperforated, sub-triangular catchplate projecting from the reverse.

It is difficult to assign such a small fragment to a specific type, however the form and lack of elaboration of the foot would probably suggest an earlier Colchester derivative, cf. SOM-8100BB.

A complete lead-alloy bag seal of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1804 - 1968. The seal is circular in plan with a rectangular cross section and is comprised of a single disc of metal which is perforated by a hole running across its diameter. The hole would have been for wire or textile ligatures which were used to secure a bag.
The front has a stamped design featuring a circumferential border of raised pellets within which is the text "Carter" in flowing italics. The reverse bears a second circumferential border of raised pellets with the text "LONDON" around the edge. The seal was issued by Carters seed merchants of Raynes Park, London. The business was successful with a number of home and foreign royal patrons including the Queen of England together with the Prince of Wales, the Sultan of Turkey, the King of Portugal and the King of Italy.
The metal is a mid greyish-white colour and is worn. The seal is 20.4mm in diameter, 6.7mm thick and weighs 7.8g.

Class: Herefordshire silty micaceous Ware Fabric TypeHER (Hereford) A3
Comments: Dr.. Alan Vince - identified this as Herefordshire silty micaceous Ware Fabric A3 and states that this was probably locally produced but no production sites / kilns are known. The fabric has the following distinguishing feature: are the presence of rounded fragments of fine-grained grey sandstones and fragments of rounded quarts (up to 1mm across). The groundmass is silty and micaceous. These features all indicate a source in Herefordshire; the silt micaceous clay is probably the Devonian Marl or Boulder Clay derived from this marl whilst the sandstones and quartz grains are probably derived from the outcrops of Silurian Rock and Old Red Sandstone. At Hereford, this ware first appears in assemblages dating to the later 12th or earlier 13th centuries and is one of the earliest wares found there to be locally produced. No production sites are known, but a source in or close to Hereford is likely.
Other vessels known from this fabric include handmade cooking pots which are straight sided and incompletely oxidised but with brown oxidised surfaces, Tripod pitchers with globular bodies are also known - these have cylindrical or everted rims. Colour of vessels can vary with the overall type / form during the later 12th - 13th century
Note: Vince notes that this fabric has sandstone and quartz inclusions which are more common in cooking pots. Only a few grains exceed 1mm. The colour varies with the type of vessel.

Class: Worcerster Ware fabric HER (Hereford) C1.
Comments: Dr. Alan Vince - identified this as Worcester Ware fabric HER (Hereford) C1. and states that this was probably locally produced at Worcester in the 12th - 14th centuries. From the beginning of the 13th century the potters at this production site began to use the potters wheel and also began to use glaze, even on cooking pots. No wheel-thrown or glazed examples were discovered within the samples sent in two batches from the investigations at Burton Court (C1 fabric = 27 and 82 sherds). All of teh sherds submitted are likely to be of cooking pots and many have both sooting on the outside of the vessel and off-light limescale on the interior. indicating their use in boiling water. Fourteen of the sherds were rims, all of an everted form with an inturned lip and some of the rims had rounded profiles whilst others with flat top. There is no known chronological difference between the two types. Some of these vessels were quite small, in the order of 200mm diameter, whereas others are similar in size to the Malvern Chase fabric vessels. Some of these maybe of early - mid 12th century in date and all are likely to date to the 12th rather than the 13th century.
Vessels of this fabric include handmade / formed cooking pots with club rims and sagging bases. The everted rim cooking pots were hand formed vessels with roughly cylindrical bodies. The rims have flat tops or are thickened and the bases are also sagged. Most vessels seem to have been smoothed on a turn table but some may have been wheelthrown.
Documentary and archaeological evidence suggests that this ware was produced at Worcester from the early 12th to 13th centuries. In Hereford, it is much more common in the 12th rather than the 13th centuries.
Note: Vince notes that the most common inclusion within this fabric is white quartz mainly measuring between 0.1-0.4mm across but can occur up to 1.2mm.

A complete lead-alloy weight of uncertain date. The object is circular with a flat top and base and a central perforation running through it. All surfaces appear undecorated and are worn.
The metal has a mid-yellow/grey patina. The object is 32.1mm in diameter, 11.3mm thick and weighs 69g. The perforation is 9.5mm in diameter.
The term 'weight' is used here in its broadest sense to include uses that do not involve weighing (e.g. holding-down, tensioning, etc.). They were commonly used from the Iron Age through to the post-medieval period and are difficult to date with any certainty without supporting archaeological context. The function of such objects is also difficult to determine as the forms are common and may have served as spindle whorls or weights used for fishing or goods. The dating of lead objects of this general type is problematic, and their use is invariably uncertain.

A complete copper alloy Mount (furniture) of Post-Medieval date (AD 1700-1900). The object is composed of a four lobed flat plate with a central perforation, through which a tapering shaft component passes. The shaft expands to either side of the plate with the back portion being formed of an expanded lobed with a small circular central spur. The opposing end expands to a circular lobe beyond which is an integral loop through which is a ring. The plate retains traces of rivets on each of the four lobes.
The metal had a pitted brown patina.
Plate: Length: 44.14mm, Width: 20.79mm, Thickness: 1.51mm, Weight: 8.7g.
