The object exhibits no physical indications of its date or age. Nor is it possible to ascertain its date through the archaeological context in which it was found. It was discovered within a mixed deposit containing artefacts dating from the late Mesolithic to the Victorian periods. Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it can not be securely dated to pre-1711 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.

A fragment of an unidentified object of uncertain date. The fragment is roughly rectangular in plan and D-shaped in section. The edges are very worn.
The metal is a mid blackish-brown colour and is extremely worn. The metal is 34.8mm long, 14.8mm wide, 4mm thick and weighs 9.1g.
Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to identify or date this object any more closely.

A complete cast lead bead of uncertain date and function though possibly a net weight or similar. The object is spherical with a slightly flattened top and base. It has a circular perforation centrally along the flattened axis.
The metal is a mid brownish-white colour and is worn. The weight is 12.6mm long, 14.1mm in diameter and weighs 12.9g.
Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely though it is possibly either Roman or medieval in date.

Stone spindle whorl (a weight used on a spindle for spinning fibres in textile manufacture). The weight is sub-circular in plan, and has a hole drilled through the centre. Spindle whorls are very difficult to date, unless they come from a securely dated archaeological context, as these implements were used from prehistoric times onwards.

An incomplete gold dog brooch of uncertain date, possibly early Post-Medieval. This three dimensional brooch seems to have been hollow or at least the body was hollow. The dog is positioned left with the head turned forwards. One ear is missing however the ear nearest the tail survives in good condition. All four legs are missing and there is a break across the chest area that is now filled with mud. The curled tail survives. The nose, mouth and eyes are very detailed and the dog wears a loose fitting collar that swivels around it's neck. On the reverse a hinged pin, now bent, and catch plate are present. The dog's fur is detailed by little incised zig zag lines over it's body including the reverse side. Current weight including some mud is 10.13g, length is 37.38mm, length of body from chest to tail is 30.96mm. Surviving height of body is c.9.55mm, surviving height from top of head to lower break on body is 21.96mm. Thickness of head from back of head to tip of muzzle is 9.44mm. Approximate thickness of body is 8.05mm. The pin's hinge is 5.36mm long and the pin is approximately 25.00mm. The catchplate is 1.62mm wide and 0.59mm thick.
No parallels have been found to date for this artefact and as a result there has been much debate as to the date of this item. It could be mid to late 16th century. It compares to the salamander pendant in the 'Girona' shipwreck from the Armada. The quality of the gold and detailed craftsmanship also argue for a sixteenth century date. Perhaps a love token, with the dog as a symbol of fidelity.

Fragment of cast unidentified object, perhaps from a vessel or partly hollow item. All the edges are broken, and the fractures are not recent. Engraved decoration, on the outer face only, comprises straight and curving lines, zig-zags and ladders of oblique lines. The fragment consists of parts of two elongated bosses and the valley between them. Stuart Needham (pers. comm.) suggests that it does not belong to the Bronze Age. 67 x 38mm. Thickness 1.8 - 2.5mm.

A copper alloy probable bead of uncertain date. The bead is circular in plan and trinagular in cross section with a flat inner side central ridge running around the outer side. A break at one point indicates where two ends of a rod were hammered around and butted together to form the bead. It measures 17.5mm in external diameter, 9.2mm in internal diameter, and a maximum of 7.7mm wide by 4.6mm thick; it weighs 7.60g.
Simple copper alloy beads of this type were popular from the Bronze Age to the Medieval period. SWYOR-761CA0 anf SUSS-1090B1 on this database are similar. It is also possible that this object is not a bead, especially given that the join is rather crude. It could be a loop from a strap fitting or a strap junction similar to that in BH-3A4115 which is dated to the Medieval period, it is particularly similar to the loop of the split pin on that example.

A cast lead pot mend, used to mend a broken vessel in order to lengthen the period of use after damage had occurred. It is sub-oval and flat in profile, with the section below the slot far smaller than that above and over to one side of it. A small fragment of light-orange pottery survives within the slot but it is not diagnostic. The repair has corroded to a light-grey colour. It is plausibly of Roman date although a later date ought not to be ruled out.

An incomplete cast copper alloy pin of uncertain date. All that remains of the pin is the circular sectioned stem which is swollen slightly towards the middle where it is bent. The head of the pin no longer remains.
Due to a lack of diagnostic features and any contextual evidence it is not possible to ascribe a date to this object. While the swelling on the shaft is a common feature of early-medieval pins this cannot be used as firm basic for dating purposes.
The metal is a mid greenish-brown colour and is worn. The pin is 94.6mm long, 3.2mm in diameter and weighs 6.1g.
