Post Medieval (late 16th or 17th century) buckle: A cast copper alloy asymmetrical double looped buckle frame. One loop is trapezoidal and the other semi-circular with a trefoil protrusion extending on the outer edge of this loop. The central strap bar has traces of iron staining, perhaps suggesting the pin was made of iron, otherwise the pin is missing. The reverse of the buckle is flat. The surface of the buckle frame has a light green matte surface. The buckle measures 19.9mm long, 13.79mm wide and weighs 1.56g. Several similar buckles have been recorded on the PAS database, …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead weight dating to the medieval to post medieval period (c.AD 1400-1700). The object is broadly conical with rough edges and surface. Off-centre is a perforation that cuts through the length of the object. It has a grey patina. Dimensions: Length 25.12mm; diameter 35.58mm; weight 79.69g. This could possibly have been used as a fishing weight. Lead weights such as this are difficult to securely date because their use and style remains continuous from the Roman period onwards. Most weights such as this are found in medieval to post medieval dated contexts wh…

Post-medieval copper-alloy shoe or knee buckle frame is broadly similar to that of Whitehead (2003) Nos. 610, 616 and 617. It has a central iron spindle in-situ, which is now encased in a mass of rust. The spindle presumably rests in holes drilled into the top and bottom internal edges. These holes do not penetrate to the outer edge. The pin and chape are missing. The outside edges are convex externally (although one has lost its tip to abrasion or wear) and bi-concave internally. The top and bottom external edges are concave. The buckle curves rearward gently and symmetrically …

A complete flint horseshoe scraper of Neolithic date (c. 4000-3300 BC). The lithic is formed from a secondary flake and is sub-ovate in plan and bi-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains one predominant negative scar and  long, parallel, abrupt, retouch along the distal edge.  A band of cortex remains above the worked edge. The ventral surface is slightly convex due to a low relief bulb of percussion and scar. The originally mid-grey flint is now covered in a milky layer of re-cortification.

A fragment of a Medieval copper-alloy purse bar dating to AD 1450-1650. The extant piece consists of a triangular-sectioned bar, rectangular in plan. The front face is decorated with incised grooved chevrons. Situated between the chevrons are crude crescentic incisons. At one side the bar terminates in a break and at the other it appears to be formed of a suspension loop, but it is unclear based on the extant remains. The frame is probably consistent with Williams' Class A1 but this cannot be determined with certainty based on the fragmentary remains Length: 59.2mm; Width: …
