Possible Iron Age or Possible Roman (mid 1st to 4th century) cast copper-alloy mount or fitting, possibly in the form of a sitting bird, such as a duck. The bird is shown in three-dimension. The body is sub plano-convex in cross-section and tapers to the tail which is sharp point. The edges are rounded and the underside has a small hollow at the 'head' end and a smaller sprue at this narrow edge. The wings are depicted by a curved ridge and across the back there re two grooves running the length of the back. There is a small projection which may be the start of a neck, but it is inco…

Medieval to Post Medieval (15th to 17th century) unidentified object: The body of the object is cylindrical with the exterior decorated with two fine grooves between which there is a series of pairs of obliquely angled notches which have been cast. One terminal is open revealing an interior shell of sheet copper alloy. At the other terminal this sheet copper alloy protrudes and is squashed and mangled, therefore the original form is not known. The surface has developed a mid to dark green coloured patina. It measures 16.35mm long, 20.02mm diameter (the internal diameter is 12.37…

Iron Age to Roman (800 BC to AD 400) unidentified artefact: The copper alloy fragment has been cast and is a sub-oval with abraded edges. The edges are abraded and may not be the original edge as the patina does not cover them. One surface has a sub-oval indentation and the surface is slightly convex. Both surfaces has a mid green-brown heavy patina. The artefact measures 41.8mm long, 22.18mm wide, 8.33mm thick and weighs 25.52g. The function of the artefact is not known, nor is the date, but the heavy patination suggests it is of Iron Age or Roman date.
