Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A stone spindle whorl of probable later Iron Age or Roman date (400 BC - AD 300). The spindle whorl is circular in plan and rectangular in profile. It has been carefully chipped and ground from what seems to be a coarse micaceous sandstone. Through the middle of the whorl is a circular shaped hole set slightly off centre; the hole has straight sides and it has an approximate diameter of 7.5mm. The whorl is undecorated and is relatively unabraded with crisp fresh edges. The whorl is a grey brown colour. Spindle whorls are used for a long period of time and as such are very difficult to…

Workflow stage: Published
A cast copper alloy porcine (boar/pig's head) vessel / bucket mount dating to the Late Iron Age 100 BC – AD 50. The mount is irregular in plan being broadly sub-rectangular in form and is sub-oval shaped in cross section; it has a relatively flat bottom which expands and then tapers in a broad curved upper surface. The mount varies in width and thickness along the length. It is both widest and thickest at the "back" of the head / across the ears. From this point its width and thickness narrows drastically, creating a rounded forehead from which the snout extends. This snout wid…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy ring of probable middle Bronze Age to later Iron Age date (1500 BC - 50 AD). The function of the ring is unknown although it is similar to examples associated with Bronze Age harness and also later Iron Age personal dress. The ring is circular in plan and irregular in section. The body of the ring has an oval cross section, however a deeply cast circumferential groove is present on the external edge of the upper half of the ring. This groove is probably cast and has a distinctive V shaped profile. At one end a small drilled hole is present piercing the ring transver…

Object type: LINCH PIN
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete fragment from a cast copper-alloy linch pin terminal of later Iron Age or Native Roman date, c.100BC- AD 100. The artefact is most probably the foot terminal of a linch pin and is 'button-like' in form being circular in plan and D shaped in cross section. The front face is undecorated and is broadly circular in plan. It has a wide raised circumferential rib which extends around the external edge. Within the border is a flat panel; this is coated in places with a surface corrosion but is most likely uninscribed. There is also no evidence of a keyed surface and so i…

An incomplete cast copper alloy tankard handle of probable later Iron Age or very early Roman date (c. 150 BC - 100 AD). The handle has an openwork design that is similar to that seen on several tankards and can be paralleled against the design seen on mirror handles. The handle is fragmentary consisting of the mid-section / handle only; the breaks on the upper and lower edges are old and patinated suggesting damage in antiquity. In plan the handle is irregular being broadly sub-rectangular; in profile it is bowed with an even (elegant) curve; the cross section is irregular. The up…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy linch pin terminal of later Iron Age or early Roman date, -150 BC - AD 150. The linch pin terminal is a tapered cylindrical shape being circular in cross section - in broad terms it can be described as 'vase' shaped. The base of the terminal is a disc that supports the body of the terminal on its upper face while its lower face reveals the corroded remains of the copper alloy projection being broken flush to the base. Despite the corrosion, it is clear that the shaft was oval in section rather than square or rectangular. The body of terminal tapers in a…
