Cast cu-alloy coin weight, probably dating to the 17th century. While the reverse is plain, the obverse bears a decoration similar to some German 'Nuremberg' reckoning tokens of the time: A square shield within three parallel circular borders which are interrupted by three sharp points. In the centre of the shield appears to be a cross which could mean that it made in London or authenticated in London.

Cast lead spindle whorl. No decoration. The perforation is 11 mm diameter. It has been noted that the weight of a spindle whorl is demonstrative of the thickness of yarn produced, with lighter spindle whorls (3-5 grams) being used for spinning cotton and the heavier ones (30-35 grams) for spinning wool (Margeson 1993, page 184). This example weighs 31.7 grams, so it seems likely that it would have been used to spin a heavy material such as wool. The dating of unstratified spindle whorls is very difficult. However, Egan (1998, page 256) has argued that there was an apparent lack o…

Cast copper-alloy dagger with short, sturdy blade and four rivets remaining in the hilt plate. The organic hilt which would have been carved from bone or antler is lost. This dagger is a very rare find and only the second of this type from Cumbria (another Ballintober sword was part of the Ambleside hoard). It belongs to the Penard phase dating to the earliest phase of the Late Bronze Age 1300-1150 BC. Most British Ballintober swords come from the Thames Valley and a small number was found in South West England and South Wales. Until a sword of this type was found near Stranraer (G…
