Object type: COIN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Ten copper halfpence of which seven certainly of William III (1694-1701) and the others probably the same reign. Two are dated 1698 and 1699; remaining dates illegible.
All of these coins show a good deal of circulation wear and it is likely that the group was lost or deposited during the middle or later years of the eighteenth century.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A struck flint flake of probable Neolithic date, with characteristics of both a scraper and a blade. This artefact exhibits a good striking platform, beneath which there is a clear bulb of percussion and subsequent ripples on the ventral surface. The dorsal side has a single dorsal ridge with some scarring to the proximal end. Both long edges have possible evidence of slight retouch. The material is of a mid grey/brown flint with coarse inclusions or fossils.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A discoidal flint flake of probable Neolithic date that may have been used as a side scraper. There is a very pronounced bulb of percussion and rippling to the ventral surface. The dorsal side has cortex covering over approximately 30% of its surface and a single ridge, much of the remaining surface has distinct rippling from previous removals. The scraping edge (25mm long) exhibits apparently deliberate retouch along approximately half of its length (14mm). The material is a mid-brown flint with some darker 'cloudy' inclusions.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knife or scraper made from a flint flake of roughly triangular cross-section. It has a small bulb of percussion beneath the striking platform and the proximal end appears to have been worked to form the curved part of the cutting/scraping edge. It also appears to have been left with a sharp point. The ventral surface is gently undulating. The dorsal surface has a predominant ridge with dorsal scarring to one side. The convex cutting/scraping edge has evenly spaced parallel re-touch. The material appears to be a pale grey and brown banded flint.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An axehead of polished fine-grained, greeny-grey stone. Complete and undamaged apart from a possible plough mark on one flank. The broad, curved blade is sharp and the axehead tapers to a narrower butt. The top and bottom edges have been smoothed off to form narrow, flat surfaces.
Found on the surface of a ploughed field.
The source is probably Cumbria.

An assemblage of 8 struck or burnt flints collected from the same field. It comprises:
the distal ends of two thin blades (incl. i), of triangular cross-section in pale grey and pale grey/brown flint,
a flake (ii) with a bulb of percussion on the ventral surface and a single ridge down the dorsal surface, of triangular cross-section but thicker than a blade, in mottled dark grey flint,
a scraper (iii) with a bulb of percussion and scarring on the ventral surface with a small section of cortex and retouch at the distal end forming a convex scraping edge…

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A vessel rim fragment in cast copper alloy of probable medieval to post medieval origin. From rim chart assessment, the fragment is probably from a vessel of around 360mm in diameter and thus a cauldron. The rim has a simple expanded flat top, with the pot body reducing in thickness down its depth.
The surface is now a coarse mottled dark green/brown.

Object type: ROWEL SPUR
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy cast spur rowel of 17th century origin (1600-1660). The rowel is in the form of a five pointed star with small intermediate points between each leg. The central hole has been worn to an oval shape and has an initial diameter of 3.8mm now elongated to 5.3mm.
The surface is now corroded to a mid brown with some green copper oxides in evidence.

Record ID: CPAT-FB1747
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A triangulate worked flint blade of Neolithic origin (3500-2100BC). The ventral surface has a small bulb of percussion with faint trace of the percussion ripples across the surface. The dorsal side has a single lateral edge/dorsal ridge, running the length of the blade with dorsal scarring along much of its length. The cutting edge is formed on the slightly convex side with direct parallel retouch, some of which looks to have been damaged through the passage of time.
The material is a multi coloured (pale cream/brown/red) and partly translucent flint with numerous inclusions of ferr…
