LON-514B10: PENDANT
An incomplete medieval cast lead alloy pendant or badge of Christ on the Cross. The pendant is decorated on both faces with cross hatching and trefoil terminals; each foil is emphasised with a central raised pellet. On one face is a depicted of Christ with a halo. There is no obvious means of attachment but the top trefoil is broken and may originally have extended to an attachment loop. The pendant measures 26.1mm (length) x 21.0mm (width) x 1.5mm (thickness) and weighs 1.27g. The pendant is of an unprovenanced rood, therefore a broad medieval date is suggested.

LON-51F502: PILGRIM BADGE
A fragment of a medieval cast lead alloy pilgrim badge of St Barbara, dating AD1400-1500. . The fragment contains the saint's head, chest, long twisting hair and arms. She is wearing a beaded headband and high collared clothing. She is standing beside the tower in which she was imprisoned and holding in her right hand a palm branch symbolising her martyrdom. Only the upper section of the tower and the lower section of the palm branch survives. The badge is broken at her waist and the rest is missing. On the reverse is a vertical casting seam and the stump of the pin. Similar examples are recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme e.g. SWYOR-E10FB3 and IOW-2A0A40, The fragment measures 19.3mm (length) x 15.5mm (width) x 3.8mm (thickness) and weighs 1.15g. The Oxford Dictionary of Saints has the following description. '[St Barbara] was shut up in a tower by her father Dioscorus, so that no man should see her. None the less princes sought her hand in marriage. She became a Christian while her father was away and decided to live as a hermit in a bath-house he had built. Here she made the workman add a third window in honour of the Holy Trinity. In his fury at her becoming a Christian, he nearly killed her, but she was handed over to a judge who condemned her to death. Her father was struck by lightning and died. This was the basis of her patronage of those in danger of sudden death, first by lightning, and then by subsiding mines or cannon-balls. Hence, her patronage of miners and gunners. The first known representation of her is an 8th-century fresco at S. Maria Antiqua, Rome; she is found, often with the equally mythical Margaret of Antioch, on late medieval English screens and stained glass. Her usual emblem is a tower. The painting of her by Jan van Eyck in the museum at Antwerp is probably the most famous representation' (Farmer, D. H. 1978, 28 'The Oxford Dictionary of Saints'. Oxford: Clarendon Press).

CORN-57D263: AXEHEAD ROUGHOUT
Fragment of gabbroic greenstone cobble, triangular in plan and in profile and circular in section. The piece is broken at one end and tapers to a point at the other, to form a conical shape, similar to the pointed butt end of an axe. The surface appears to have been ground into this shape, rather than weathered, and there is a large spur projecting from the broken end at one edge, which seems to have formed naturally into two concentric protrusions. This is one of a group of 14 stone tools described as 'potential axes' that have been found on Clodgy Moor or Trungle Moor in Paul parish. A few of these have distinct areas where grinding has been carried out to start a blade. The remainder have a broadly axe-shaped outline and apparent traces of pecking. Examination of most of this group by Roger Taylor, as part of the Clodgy Moor Project, has confirmed that of they are gabbroic greenstone, except for one described as volcanic greenstone. One or two of these he identifies as of similar lithology to that of the greenstone Gwavas quarry nearby. Of the group as a whole Roger Taylor comments that the overall shape of each piece, the apparent 'axe' shape, is due to these pieces having previously been cobbles. However this was way back in geological time before the Quaternary period, as most of the apparent pecking is due to weathering subsequent to the formation of the cobbles. He quotes remnant high level beach material from the Crousa Gravels overlying the gabbro in the Lizard and other material overlying the Carnmennellis Granite as parallels. He considers that the greenstone in all these pieces is comparatively soft, and indeed this can be clearly seen when the group is compared to the hammerstone/pestles. However some of the pieces clearly have areas of grinding over the weathering. The most likely interpretation for this group as a whole is that they were collected as potential axe-making material: their close concentration in one part of the study area makes natural occurrence extremely unlikely (Henrietta Quinnell, Clodgy Moor stonework, forthcoming). A similar broken pointed axe butt has been excavated from the Neolithic settlement at Carn Brea and is illustrated in Mercer (1981) on page 155, Fig.64, No.S11.

ESS-197DB2: COIN
Medieval silver coin: Class 11 penny of Edward II, dating 1311-4AD.

DEV-1C7428: FLAKE
Prehistoric flint flake. The flint is light grey in colour and has evidence of retouching at the edges.

WMID-1C7526: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete cast copper alloy openwork mount, of Early Post Medieval dating (16th to 18th Centuries AD). Approximately 75% of the mount is present. It was probably originally symmetrical in design. It consists of a convex openwork lozenge at the centre, with scalloped external edges. The remnants of a probable fleur de lys / lis are present at the base, and an annulet at the top of the mount. The reverse is plain and undecorated. One integrally cast attachment spike with a circular cross section, extends from the rear of the mount.This spike has a lateral bend at the halfway point. The mount is a mid green to grey colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. The mount measures 22.54mm in length, 11.13mm wide and 4.73mm thick. It weighs 4.7 grams. Similar mounts recored on the PAS database are DENO-2FA948, NLM-975116 and BH-058870.

WMID-1C9E20: BUCKLE
A complete cast copper alloy double looped trapezoidal buckle of Post Medieval dating (c.1570 - 1700 AD). The buckle frame is sub rectangular / trapezoidal in plan, and concave (curved) in profile. Three sets of paired horizontal incisions are present as decoration on the external edges of the buckle. Lobed knops are present at either end of the strap bar. The reverse of the buckle is plain and undecorated. The pin and buckle plate are missing. The buckle is a mid brown to mid green colour, with an abraded surface patina. Movement in the ploughsoil has resulted in the buckle becoming asymmetrical, and slightly bowed in profile. Iron staining around the strap bar is suggestive that the pin was originally made from iron. The buckle measures 24.7mm long, 24.22mm wide, is 3.47mm thick and weighs 3.5 grams. Several comparative examples have been published, in particular #503 & #505 by Whitehead (2003, p81). He has dated these double loop trapezoidal buckles to the Post Medieval period (c.1570 to c. 1700 AD). Reference: Whitehead, R. 2003. Buckles 1250 - 1800 AD. Greenlight Publishing. Witham.

DUR-605DF2: MOUNT
A complete copper alloy mount in the form of a fleur de lis dating from the Medieval to the Post Medieval period (1400-1700). The mount has a central convex plume flanked by two smaller convex plumes either side. The smaller plumes are decorated with concave circles in the centre of each and there is a raised line down the centre of the object. The plumes terminates in two parallel strips which are connected by a cylindrical strip to a knobbed terminal. At either side of the parallel strips are rivets that would have held the object in place. The back of the object is concave and undecorated. The metal is green in colour and the object weighs 4.1g, measuring 29.11mm in length, 17.04mm in width and 3.06mm in thickness. Similar examples have been recorded on this database, see IOW-E8D784.

NLM-60A8D5: COIN
Copper alloy coin. Radiate or nummus indeterminate, issue of 260-410. Obverse description: Bust. This is of uncertain form, as one way up it appears as a degraded radiate head, but inverted could pass muster as a battered nummus obverse. Obverse inscription: If radiate, possibly VSAIAN or similar; if nummus possibly [--]TINVS A[VG]; neither reading is deemed reliable. Reverse description: Effectively obliterated, though spacing of the illegible inscription may suggest identification as a radiate. Cliff Reeves kindly examined this coin, and notes the difficulties outlined above. Diameter: 17.7mm, Weight: 1.97gms.

NLM-60BC70: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Copper alloy possible metal working waste. Fragment of copper alloy melt which has apparently congealed on a flat surface. Not a coin. Cliff Reeves kindly examined this object. Suggested date: Unknown, 43-1800. Length: 19mm, Width: 15.7mm, Thickness: 1.7mm, Weight: 1.63gms.

NLM-60CB76: COIN
Copper alloy coin. Kindly identified by Robert Webley as a six deniers piece of Louis XIV of France (reigned 1661-1715). This corrected an initial identification of this object as a token. Concavo-convex disc with central drilled aperture of diameter 2.5mm; this operation may have distorted an originally flat object. ?Obverse description (convex side): Central triangle with a pair of lines radiating from each of its faces, apparently terminating with crowns. A trifid feature, possibly lis, springs from each corner of triangle. A circumferential legend is in capital letters of modern style. ?Obverse inscription: [--]NA[--]O. ?Reverse description (concave side): Three curls side by side with a lis at either end.

NLM-60E253: WEIGHT
Lead weight. Cast standing weight with a drum shaped base which then assumes a tapered conical form with a flat squared top; a transverse aperture of diameter 4.8mm is presumably for suspension. Patinated overall. Suggested date: Possibly Roman, 43-410. Diameter: 19.6mm, Height: 34.1mm, Weight: 49.80gms.

NLM-60EC32: WEIGHT
Lead weight. Cast standing weight of conical form with a wide base; the form resembles that of a witch's hat. An off-centre longitudinal aperture of diameter 4mm appears in the base and is circa 15mm deep, but probably failed to pass through the object. Patinated overall. Suggested date: Possibly Roman, 43-410. Diameter: 26.6mm, Height: 21.6mm, Weight: 34.04gms.

NLM-60F765: STUD
Copper alloy and iron stud or furniture mount. Cast hemispherical or 'bell shaped' mount with stub of an iron shank. The foot - that part closest to the point of fixing - is constricted; the top is indented with a central dimpled knop and bears black paint or colourant in the sunken gutter between rim and knop. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410. Diameter: 27.3mm, Height: 19.4mm,

DUR-60F866: STRAP END
A copper alloy strap end dating to the Anglo Saxon period (750-1100). The object is parrallel sided, with only one decorated side. It comprises of a split end with a tapering shaft and a terminal. The split end has two circular rivet holes that still contain the rivets. One side of the terminal is decorated with geometric patterns enclosed in geometric boders. Starting from the split end, there is a raised cross enclosed in a hexagonal border, followed by a square border enclosing horizontal lines and closest to the tapered end are two raised circles. The object has been well preserved, although there is some general wear and tear and the silvering does not survive on the bottom of the object. It is dark green in colour and weighs 2.5g and measures 28.00mm in length and 8.15mm at its widest point. The object is 1.81mm in thick. The strap end can be categorised as Thomas Class A, Type 1.

BERK-60FA66: JETTON
A Post Medieval copper alloy Nuremberg Franco-Allegorical Jetton circa AD 1619. Mitchiner (1988) nos 1742-1746.

NLM-6103D1: NAIL

SWYOR-6105A3: TOKEN
A 17th Century trade token dating from 1664, issued in Bawtry, Doncaster. Obverse: (SAMUELL TRVBSHAW); a horse trotting left Reverse: *OF•BAWTAR(Y)•1664; HIS/HALF/PENY Compare number 17 (?) in the Yorkshire section of Williamson's "Trade Tokens issued in the 17th century".

NLM-611372: BRIDLE FITTING
Copper alloy and iron probable bridle fitting or cheek piece. Cast copper alloy terminal sheathing a corroded iron object. A ball terminal is separated from a round shank by two deep grooves. Below these, the copper alloy sheath is indented or split; its further extent is masked by ferrous corrosion. The object has a vaguely phallic appearance, possibly the fortuitous result of its partial survival. The sheathing of iron horse gear with copper alloy, for both decoration and to retard corrosion of the iron elements, is known from later Iron Age contexts and continued into the Roman period. The form here appears Classicised rather than Celtic. Suggested date: Early Roman, 43-200. Length: 45mm, Width: 18mm, Thickness: 10.7mm, Weight: 17.09gms.

NLM-6120D8: VESSEL
Copper alloy vessel fragment. Cast circular base fragment from a cylindrical vessel of composite construction with a 55mm diameter. The object has been torn, losing about one third of its area, and either introducing or emphasising a slightly bowed or concavo-convex profile. The convex face appears slightly paler around its edge, to a depth of circa 4mm, which appears to indicate where this element was formerly joined to a vessel wall - of what material is uncertain. The size of this object is close to that of an Anglo-Saxon 'work box', a form of cylindrical copper alloy container whose component parts are often found sealed together. However, Roman period material found along with this object probably provides a more apt date. In particular, this may form the base of a copper alloy vessel with enamel decoration whose three fragments (FAKL-9900E3) were reported along with this object. The similar Winterton bowl (NLM-F50443) was found with a complete body but lacking its separate base, so such composite bowls may have been liable to disintegration wjhen the brazing joining body and base failed. Suggested date: Roman, 40-400. Diameter: 55mm, Thickness: 2.4mm, Weight: 20.72gms.

BERK-6126A1: CLASP
An incomplete copper alloy Post Medieval hooked tag. Read (2008) Class A Type 1, c. AD 1500-1600.

A crowned shield emblazoned with a double headed spread eagle is flanked by curlicues and surrounded by a circular beaded border. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800. Length: 15.6mm, Width: 15.4mm, Thickness: 2.1mm, Weight: 3.19gms.

NLM-613AC4: KNIFE
Copper alloy and iron knife handle. Cast and slightly tapered octagonal section handle for a whittle tang knife. The facets are decorated and a modest grip afforded by incised rocker decoration carried up each one. The narrower end -where a blade (now lost) would project - retains a cemented pale grey material and is magnetic, suggesting a part of tang remains within, there is brown staining at this end. The wider end is closed by a rough metallic filling of a brown hue, possibly copper alloy. A ragged longitudinal seam appears along the middle of one of the broader facets; this may indicate the splitting of the handle due to the expansion of the corroding tang. Suggested date: Medieval, 1100-1300. Length: 63mm, Width: 17.9mm, Thickness: 15.4mm, Weight: 22.46gms.

BERK-613DF7: COIN
A silver Halfgroat of Elizabeth I (AD 1588 - 1603) heavily clipped. North N 1987. See Spink 2009 p239 No.2567

NLM-615697: VESSEL
Copper alloy vessel fragment. Cast slightly tapered cauldron leg of triangular section, with three prominent ribs on its outer surface. Viewed from the side, the object exhibits a gentle longitudinal curve which is probably a deliberate aspect of its construction. Broken at both ends. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1500. Length: 65mm, Width: 54.9mm, Thickness: 28mm, Weight: circa 250gms.

BERK-616342: WEIGHT
A lead Post Medieval small square Apothecary weight with a blank reverse. On the obverse there is a flower shape of three petals stamped into the surface. Circa 16th Century AD.

DUR-6167B6: BROOCH
A copper alloy trumpet brooch dating to the 1st-2nd centuries AD. The brooch has been silvered and is condition, although it is missing the pin and some of the enamel that would have decorated the head, evident from an empty panel. The head is oval in shape, decorated with a raised geometric design enclosed by a raised border. This panel would have contained enamel. The design consists of a central line flanked by two half circles and with a triangle at the bottom. The head is connected to a cylindrical section decorated with horizontal strips then wrap around the cylinder. The bow consists of a rectangular panel decorated with raised prisms, followed by a tapering section that is decorated with two rectangular borders containing raised geometric line. The object terminates in a circular foot and the catch plate is present. It weighs 13.6g and measures 57.06mm in length and the width of the head is 13.78mm. Parallels can be found in Hattatt, R. (2007) A Visual Catalogue of Ancient Brooches, Oxbow: no.'s 955 and 433 and in Mackreth (2011) Brooches in Late Iron Age and Roman Britain : vol 1 p119, plate 80. The brooch is possibly a Mackreth type 1.2b7.

BERK-617585: COIN
A copper alloy Roman nummus, exact date uncertain.

BH-617A21: BROOCH
A copper-alloy small-long brooch of Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date. The brooch has a square head-plate, the upper surface of which is decorated with a border of punched ring marks. The short, arched bow springs from the centre of the head plate's bottom side; it is of triangular section, with squared corner mouldings at both ends. At the base this moulding continues downwards, forming a right angle. The foot comprises a truncated lozenge-shaped plate with a border of punched rings, as on the head-plate. A right-angled, perforated lug, situated centrally, at the base of the head's underside, represents the attachment for the now-missing pin. The catchplate is located behind the top of the foot and consists of a smaller right-angled lug, its rolled upper edge missing. The artefact measures 62.6mm long, up to 18.5mm wide (head-plate) and weighs 14.74g. Similar small-long brooches are illustrated in the Ashmolean Museum's A summary of the Anglo-Saxon Collections (MacGregor and Bolick 1993: 126-127), the closest parallels being nos. 15.7 (from Brighthampton, Oxon.), 15.8 (Haslingfield, Cambs.) and 15.9 (Fairford, Glos.). According the authors, such brooches first appear in the early fifth century, continuing well into the sixth (ibid. 125).

Pale cloudy grey flint fabricator, as identified by finder. Elongated biconvex finger-shaped tool shaped by hard hammer working. The object tapers towards a thinner curved end, with casually executed flake removal at the mid point affording a grip for the thumb; the other end is flat, at a recent break. The upper and lower convex surfaces are lightly smoothed, probably by wear during use, though other flaking at the edges represents post-depositional damage. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2100-1500 BC. Length: 86mm, Width: 25.5mm, Thickness: 20mm, Weight: 53.56gms.

An incomplete worked bone hair pin, of broad Roman dating (1st to 4th Centuries AD). Approximately 75% of the pin is present, consisting only of the shaft of the pin, the head is missing. Without the head, it is hard to assign the hair pin to a type, and therefore a closer date range. A degree of swelling is present towards the top of the shaft, a feature common on some types of hair pins. Due to the degree of working, it is hard to identify what type of animal the bone has originally come from, but probably it was fashioned from a metapodial (lower leg) of a cow or sheep sized animal. The pin measures 85.25mm in length and has a maximum diameter of 4.32mm. It weighs 1.7 grams. Bone pins, like those made from copper alloy, jet or glass, are commonly thought to have functioned predominately as hair pins during the Roman period, with some female hairstyles requiring multiple pins to hold the hair in place. Other uses for bone pins have included clothing fasteners.

HESH-6374E2: PIN
An incomplete worked bone hair pin, of mid Roman dating (c. 150 to 250 AD). Approximately 75% of the pin is present, consisting of the head of the pin and part of the shaft. The head of the pin is more or less spherical in shape, similar in style to those classified as Type 3 by Crummy (1983, p21). A degree of swelling is present towards the top of the shaft, a feature common on some types of hair pins. Due to the degree of working, it is hard to identify what type of animal the bone has originally come from, but probably it was fashioned from a metapodial (lower leg) of a cow or sheep sized animal. The pin measures 68.19mm in length, head diameter is 4.99mm and maximum shaft diameter is 3.98 mm. It weighs 1.3 grams.

NLM-63AFC4: SEAL MATRIX
Copper alloy seal matrix. Cast oval matrix with a tapered oval section handle retaining the stub of a probably trilobate suspension loop. The waisted handle is less familiar to this reporter than those of angular profile, and may suggest a later date. The device represented may be a letter M with straight uprights, possibly within a garland or wreath, or possibly crowned. This might be the initial of the owner, or, if the letter were crowned, possibly a reference to the Virgin Mary. Alternatively, two or three figures may be represented. The surface of the matrix appears to have been robustly cleaned, with some loss of clarity. Suggested date: Later Medieval, 1400-1500.

SWYOR-6491A6: COIN
An Early Medieval copper alloy coin: a styca dating from about AD 790-867. The coin is worn and the legends are uncertain but the moneyer maybe Monne. If so, the O is a pellet rather than an annulet. Thickness: 1.63mm; Diameter: 12mm; Weight: 1.07g

NCL-6492B7: COIN
A Scottish Turner-bodle twopence of Charles II, 1663.

NLM-649653: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Lead metal working debris. Fragment of lead melt, spilt and solidified on a flat surface. The unpatinated state of this object indicates a recent date. Suggested date: Modern, 1800-2000. Weight: 33.62gms.

NCL-64A600: COIN
A Scottish twentypence of Charles I, 1636-1642.

NLM-64AA14: TOY
Lead alloy toy. Cast toy bowl with a pedestal foot and everted rim. This object appears apt to use in a dolls' house kitchen. An external mould line is visible; the bowl is now slightly squashed and part of its upper body is lost. The vessel form is distinct from that of Post-Medieval objects reported from London, and is suggested to be of later date. Suggested date: Modern, 1850-1950. Diameter (approximate): 25mm, Height: 24mm, Thickness: 1.1mm, Weight: 5.46gms.

NLM-64B6E4: NOZZLE
Copper alloy possible nozzle fragment. Cast tubular object with a shoulder above which it continued at a diameter of 14mm; this further extent is lost.

NCL-64D317: BOOK FITTING
A cast copper-alloy book clasp, c. 1450-1700. The clasp has a rectangular body with one square end and one rounded end with a missing central hook. The face may have been decorated, but it is now too worn to be certain of the full extent. Four punched ring-and-dots can be seen closer to the square end. In section, the clasp is rectangular with rounded corners.

NLM-64E484: VESSEL
Lead Alloy, with coat of paint or tar, possible vessel fragments. Two fragments of a cast vessel with curved body of thickness 2.6mm and a thickened rim, the latter possibly serving as a lid seat. A thick black paint or tarry coating is splashed on the outside surface of both fragments, and may suggest its use rather than a decorative finish. Suggested date: Modern, 1800-1900. Dimensions for larger piece: Height: 23mm, Estimated diameter: circa 140mm, Thickness (rim): 5mm, Combined Weight: 18.71gms.

Lead possible shot fragment. Cast hemisphere, of diameter and mass probably apt to a musket ball, but lacking half of the object and with no trace of shearing or impact to explain its partial definition, save perhaps for a bubble or casting flaw revealed in its flat surface. Suggested date: Possibly Post-Medieval, 1600-1800. Diameter: 18.5mm, Weight: 21.34gms.

NLM-651956: FLAT IRON
Copper alloy, painted, iron stand. Shoe-shaped plate with a triangular platform and oval-ended handle; three round section pins of diameter 8.3mm and length 30mm (one lost) were set in round holes with edges lightly countersunk on the upper side of the plate. Jennifer Dunne, Collections Assistant (Social History) for NorthLincolnshireMuseum, kindly confirms the opinion of the finder that this is probably an iron stand for the temporary storage of a heated flat iron, and comments it may be for a small iron used for specialised tasks or unusually shaped objects such as hats. Paint survives extensively on the lower surface of the plate and on the pins. Suggested date: Modern, 1800-1900. Length: 186mm, Width: 83mm, Thickness (plate): 2.7mm, Weight: 183.25gms.

SUR-651B74: STUD
A Roman cast copper alloy so-called 'bell-shaped' stud, possibly for use on furniture or chests. The stud has the remains of an iron shaft.

LON-651D93: COIN

SWYOR-652521: SEAL MATRIX
An incomplete copper alloy seal matrix of Medieval date (about 1200-1500). The matrix face is circular and the conical handle has six facets. The terminal of the handle is a suspension loop, but this has been broken; only a stub remains were the loop was. There is a thick collar between the loop and the shaft. The edges of the face are worn and broken which unfortunately makes most of the legend illegible. The following letters in the legend can be made out: "WILL DE(O)[-](CIS)[---](DCA)[-]" so it was probably a personal seal of William (Surname missing). The design is of a stylised tree with a squirrel sitting on the top. Squirrels were clearly a popular element of 14th century seal matrices, and many examples with various inscriptions are recorded on the PAS database. Often the inscription is a stock one: I CRACK NOTIS (Nuts) and is part of the tradition of bawdy puns on seal matrices. See NARC-EABB91 for more details. This example has a personal legend though. The squirrel may relate to the person's name, or may be a stock design to which a personal inscription was added. Also compare NARC-F18D77, WMID-C84368, and NARC-6036B1. Length: 13.15mm; Diameter: 19.03mm; Weight: 7.58g

A complete cast copper alloy Post-Medieval buckle frame dating from about 1500-1650. The double loop oval frame has bevelled inside edges and moulded knops at either end of a slightly recessed strap bar. The frame has been bent; the pin is missing. The front is decorated with three incised lines located at each outside edge while the back of the frame is flat and undecorated. The object has a dark green patina. There is also a trace of corrosion at one end of the frame, suggesting it came into contact with iron. Please see examples in Whitehead's (2003) Buckles, page 54, numbers 302 and 306. Length: 35.2mm; Width: 39.9mm; Thickness: 3.26mm; Weight: 8.02g

NLM-655215: BUCKLE
Copper alloy buckle. Cast single looped buckle with widened edge, notched lip and narrowed strap bar with a separate plate of folded sheet metal of thickness 0.8mm attached to it. The plate was secured by three rivets which passed from the display face through the strap, meeting rectangular roves - also of 0.8mm thickness - behind it; two remain and a third is lost. The flat rivet heads which remain are circa 2.5mm in diameter but the empty rivet hole is circa 1.7mm in diameter, suggesting that the heads of the rivets have been burred to secure them. This method of fastening is more usually recorded with iron clench bolts used for ship building and carpentry from the Early Medieval period through to the late Middle Ages. Suggested date: Medieval, 1250-1400. Length: 27mm, Height: 30.8mm, Thickness: 4mm, Weight: 7.16gms.

NLM-656171: PLAQUE
Copper alloy plaque. Cast concavo-convex shield-shaped plate bearing numerous punched holes of diameter circa 1mm on its convex face. The finder kindly notes these spell out HOME / SWEET / HOME over three lines. This phrase was first popularised as the title of a sentimental ballad written by John Howard Payne in 1823; then as a soldiers' song in the American Civil War; and as a text for children's needlework samplers - most of the letters may be rendered in straight lines. It was perhaps the latter source this object draws upon. The concave face may suggest attachment to a mug or bottle. Suggested date: Modern, 1825-1900. Height: 42.7mm, Width: 38.6mm, Thickness: 1.9mm, Weight: 15.35gms.

BERK-6564C3: COIN

A lead alloy spindle whorl of probable Medieval date. The spindle whorl is sub circular in plan and sub rectangular in cross section with rounded edges. The top of the whorl has been decorated with a motif of raised dots and what appears to be the remains of a raised border at the outside edge. The central perforation is broadly circular and has been set slightly off centre; the internal diameter of the hole tapers slightly from 12.5mm at the base to 13mm at the top. The spindle whorl has a creamy medium grey patina. The whorl may have been abraded and rolled in the plough soil; areas suffering damage or wear include the sides; the base has a deep gouge across its surface as well as a broken off section of material. Examples of whorls with raised lines and dots are often attributed to the Medieval period. However, spindle whorls and weights were cast locally in lead from the Roman period to the Post-Medieval period and are hard to date precisely. Thickness: 12.5mm; Diameter: 37.2mm; Weight: 88.23g

DEV-658312: BULLA
A lead-alloy papal bulla of Pope Alexander III (1159- 1181). No further details recorded.

The exterior is decorated with a continuous spiral of D shaped pits or depressions covering the sides and top; there is no tonsure. There is a plain undecorated border approximately 4.3 - 5.6mm wide around the base. The bottom end of the spiral is corroded so it is not clear if there was a maker's mark here. The thimble has a dark green-brown patina. Examples of the spiral design from this period may be seen at PAS record IDs: DENO-AA9B85, SOM-6B8B37 and IOW-EB5878. Height: 19.8mm; Width: 18.26mm; Thickness: 1.83mm; Weight: 7.03g

DUR-1CF3D2: BROOCH
Two fragments of a incomplete copper alloy Roman dragonesque brooch dating to the 2nd century AD (c. AD 75-175). The brooch consists of an S shaped openwork plate with both moulded and openwork decoration. At the top and bottom of the S are the heads of a dragon with a nose and ear protruding and a moulded eye made up of a ring and dot. One of the eyes is inlaid with white enamel, the other no longer has enamel remaining. The panel between the heads of the dragon is broadly oval in shape, consisting of an openwork border containing a smaller S shape. This smaller S has been broken at one end. The borders of the object are decorated with incised lines down the centre, but the entire reverse of the object is undecorated. The metal is green in colour and is in condition aside from the breaks. It weighs 12.0g and measures 56.56mm in length and 33.11mm in width. A parallel for this type of brooch can be found in Hattatt, R. (2007^3) A Visual Catalogue of Ancient Brooches, Oxford: Oxbow Books: 351: no. 210.

Copper alloy and wood parasol fitting, from the end of one of the ribs. A cast cylindrical sheath retaining degraded wood within. A transverse rivet of diameter 1.6mm (only its ends remain) passed through the sides of the cylinder to secure a wooden rod or dowel; this feature was kindly noted by Brian Kearsley. The end of the cylinder bears a robust integrally cast lug with a drilled hole for suspension of diameter 2.5mm; the stepped sides of the lug appear intended to limit movement to a single plane and its sides and top are filed, perhaps to assist this movement. A similar, smaller, object (NLM-6638E0) was reported along with this example, though lacking organic remains. Suggested date: Modern, 1800-1900. Length: 28mm, Diameter: 9.8mm, Thickness (cylinder wall): 0.7mm, Weight: 7.68gms

Copper alloy parasol fitting, from the end of a rib. Cast conical cylinder with an apical loop formed by crimping of its narrower end. This terminal bears a drilled hole of diameter 2.5mm, and its stepped sides suggest it was intended to limit movement to a single plane. At its wider end, the cylinder bears scars indicating the position of a transverse rivet with a head diameter of 2.3mm - its further extent is lost, though its other end is visible, showing it went through the object off-centre. A similar, larger, object retaining degraded wood (NLM-662EE3) was reported along with this example; despite this being smaller, it apparently sheathed a wooden object of similar diameter, and presumably served the same function. Suggested date: Modern, 1800-1900. Length: 20.8mm, Diameter: 9.2mm, Wall thickness: 0.6mm, Weight: 2.14gms.

SWYOR-664574: STRAP END
A damaged copper alloy strap end of Early Medieval date. It splits at one end to for a slot for the strap, but most of both plates are missing. The closed end is also missing and the sides are damaged. This makes it hard to determine the original shape and therefore the class. The front is decorated with niello in the grooves of an incised design. A pentagon shaped panel at the open end extends by curving lines down the centre of the body of the strap end. The design is unclear.

SUR-664966: PURSE
A distorted cast copper alloy fragment of a purse frame dating to c1450-1550. The frame belongs to a bar of Ward-Perkins' Class A1. The fragment is decorated with double strand lattice inlaid with niello.

BERK-664FB4: COIN
A silver penny of Edward I (AD 1272 - 1307), struck in London AD 1282-1289. Class 4a-c. N1023-1025.

SUR-666A68: BUCKLE
A plain rectangular cast copper alloy shoe or breech buckle. The attachment chape bears the maker's initials AT.

SUR-667B01: VESSEL
A D-section cast copper alloy vertical leg from a vessel, probably a tripod skillet. The leg has a rounded terminal.

SWYOR-667BA0: SHOT
A group of five small rounded lead alloy weight pellets, their collective weight being 2.83gram. The individual dimensions of each pellet is: 1: Weight 0.72 grams Diameter 5.30mm 2: Weight 0.73 grams Diameter 4.64mm 3: Weight 0.49 grams Diameter 3.88mm 4: Weight 0.54 grams Diameter 4.53mm 5: Weight 0.34 grams Diameter 3.55mm. One object (0.73g) is a neat sphere with four circular depressions, one on each face leaving rounded ends. This looks to have been carefully made. The others are less neat, but all are rounded with facets. Compare SWYOR-21D072 and SWYOR-E809B3. Though sometimes recorded as Anglo-Scandinavian polyhedral weights, the number of similar finds makes it more likely that these are pellets fired from a gun, similar to grape shot but smaller, and of Post Medieval date. Compare examples of buckshot in Harding (2012) "Lead Shot of the English Civil War", for example, Plate 21. Buckshot was used for hunting throughout the Post Medieval period, as well as in warfare.

A silver penny of Henry III (AD 1216-1272), struck by Nicole in Canterbury, AD 1258-1265. Class 5g. N997

SUR-6690E7: BUCKLE
An ornate cast copper alloy frame from a shoe or breech buckle. The frame is grey and made from a high tin alloy.

LON-66A540: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy penannular brooch, missing its pin. The brooch has curled terminals at a right angle to the plane of the ring (type C; Hattatt 1982, 128). The ring itself is flattened and the upper surface is decoration with horizontal indents. It measures 35.8mm (external length) x 34.2mm (external width) x 6.2mm (thickness of terminals); 3.0mm (thickness of ring) and weighs 6.56g. A brooch with a similar flattened ring was found in London in 1929 AD (ibid., 132 ref. 115), which is dated to c. 1st century AD. However Hattatt stresses that penannular brooches stayed in circulation for centuries: some early Roman examples have been found in early medieval burials (ibid., 127).

SUR-66A7F2: PURSE
A very worn fragment from a purse bar of Ward Perkins' Class A1. The bar has a central rounded block with an animal head on either side. The heads form the start of the mainly missing, side arms. Double-stranded lattice decoration, inlaid with niello, can be seen on the surviving arm. The two sides of the central block are decorated with an X and a W, both inlaid with niello. The surviving arm appears to be flat, which would be unusual for bars of Class A1.

The loop is missing from the back. It weighs 3.15grams 7.37mm in thickness and is 9.84 in diameter. For reference please see Buttons & Fasteners 500BC-AD1840 By Gordon Bailey Page 43 Fig.9

BERK-6713B5: COIN
A silver halfpenny of Henry V (AD 1413-1422), struck in London. Class C; North 1409.

BERK-6740D2: COIN
A silver long cross penny, clipped. The coin is very worn making identification difficult, but it is likely to be of either Edward I (AD 1272 - 1307) or Edward III (AD 1327 - 1377). Mint of York.

CPAT-1CBB37: WEIGHT
Lead weight. Possibly a fishing weight.

A fragment from the handle or leg of a posnet or skillet, where it joins the body of the vessel.

WMID-1CDC06: BOOK FITTING
An incomplete cast copper alloy probable book fitting, of probable Post Medieval dating. The book fitting is irregular in plan. The edges are bevelled. One end is rectangular, with a central hole, presumably for fixing to the leather cover of the book. Then the fitting tapers towards a circular terminus, now incomplete. The fitting is mid green colour, with an even surface patina. It measures 36.6mm in length, 14.27mm wide and 2.07 mm thick. It weighs 3.7 grams.

CORN-6CCC57: WEIGHT
Cast lead fishing weight, lozenge-shaped in plan, plano-convex in profile and triangular in section, with tapering ends, which have been pinched and perforated with ovoid holes to suspend the sting at either end, around the protruding rectangular knops. This weight was most likely tied into fishing nets, due to its size and shape, and these are commonly found in Cornwall, but are difficult to date.

The hoard is composed of five socketed axes, five fragments of Ewart Park swords, two fragments of Carp's Tongue swords from a minimum of three swords and three ingot fragments. The axes, which are all fragmentary, are of the South-Eastern type. Nos. 1-2 show signs of having been deliberately broken for inclusion as scrap metal. The faceted axe fragment (no. 5) belongs to a distinctive type with noticeably well-finished examples which have a very wide distribution. 1. Socketed axe fragment: South-Eastern Double mouth moulding. Both faces have wing mouldings. Very faint transverse moulding forming hour-glass with circular pellet prominent beneath mouth moulding and very faint circular moulding between the wing mouldings at the bottom. Casting flashes visible along much of the sides, although they have been removed places. Last vestiges of mouth casting flash and of one casting jet stump visible. Ridges down the centre of the internal faces. The body has many fine transverse and oblique striations. Variable green to dark brown patina. Corrosion damage particularly on the raised areas.

NLM-754C66: TOKEN
Copper alloy token. Milled token with border of tiny lozenges. The token is pierced by a probably drilled hole of diameter 2.8mm at 6 O'clock on the reverse side. Obverse inscription: JOHN / WALL[ER] /[?N].Y. THE /GIRDLER / *, rendered in a handwritten script and concluded with a five pointed star. Reverse description: flower, comprising five drooping petals and two thin leaves below, possibly a lily. This reporter identified this coin as associated with an American company. Paul Cannon kindly corrects this identification as follows: 'This is a halfpenny token of John Waller of York, dated 1669. Obverse: 'John Waller / in Yorke / Girdler / ½' Reverse: carnation with 1669 below.See Boyne 394 (1858) Suggested date: Post-Medieval Diameter: 21.2mm, Weight: 1.42gms, die axis: 12.

NLM-7562D7: SEAL MATRIX
Lead seal matrix. Cast vesica or lentoid shaped matrix. The back bears the cast depiction of a three petalled lily on a long stalk, with a trefoil on a stalk protruding between the side and central petal of the lis on either side. The front bears an incised central panel depicting a lis (without supplementary emblems) and an indistinct circumferential legend. The inscription ends, on the left of the impression made by the matrix, [--]ME?V, probably in Lombardic script, and possibly begins with MA[--]. About one quarter of the matrix is lost at a recent break. It is possible the text was devotional rather than personal, perhaps invoking the prayers of the Virgin Mary. The reverse combination of a lily, associated with the Virgin, trefoils, alluding to the Holy Trinity, and the letter form of 'E' combined indicate a later medieval date. Trefoil motifs enjoyed an especially long currency: for example, at the Beverley Blackfriars, East Yorkshire, stalked trefoils appeared in window glass of the mid-13th-century, but recur as part of a suite of heavily symbolic wall paintings dated to either shortly before or after the Dissolution. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1500. Length: 32.7mm, Width: 20.4mm, Thickness: 3.3mm, Weight: 11.47gms.

NLM-75A127: BUCKET
Copper alloy bucket mount. Swan Head mount. A curving swan's neck, with bulbous forehead confirming the species represented, springs from a sub-triangular plate whose concavo-convex form suggests the mount was attached to a wood or leather vessel of estimated diameter circa 100mm. The upper part of the plate represents wings to either side of the neck, and, as lobed projections, the feet and ?tail below; incised lines emphasise these separate elements. The bird is portrayed rearing up: in aggression if the piece is ascribed a Celtic context - or lust if the piece alludes to Classical mythology, as with the seduction of Leda by Zeus in the guise of a swan - rather than placidly swimming. A cast copper alloy rivet of shank diameter 1.9mm and length 7.4mm was placed at each corner of the plate - one is lost save for its head - and the length of those remaining in situ indicates they passed through a vessel wall of thickness 4mm. Both ends of the rivets are burred to a maximum diameter of 2.8mm, a process which would have secured the mount. The arch of the neck would assist suspension of the vessel were a further two (for a bucket handle) or three (for a suspended vessel) similar mounts fitted to it. A slight lug projecting from the underside of the bill may be intended to secure a handle or cord passing under the arched neck, as it has no clear representational purpose. Suggested date: Early Roman, 43-100. Height: 34.1mm, Width: 20.4mm, Thickness (plate): 4.4mm, Weight: 14.48gms.

NLM-75C271: STEELYARD WEIGHT
Copper alloy possible steelyard weight. Cast weight comprising a flat-bottomed bulbous base with foot ring, a tapered and lightly facetted stem and a robust apical hook. This object would be apt to slide along the beam of a steelyard balance. The mass falls a little under one ounce (28gms), as defined by various systems of mensuration from the Roman through to the Medieval period. Suggested date: Possibly Roman, 43-410. Height: 45.9mm, Diameter: 15.5mm, Weight: 25.50gms.

NLM-75CC86: WEIGHT
Lead weight. Cast flat topped conical weight with foot ring and a tapered off-centre longitudinal aperture of diameter 3.8mm (base) to 2.3mm (top). Patinated overall. Though this form of weight was long lived, a Roman date might be suggested for this atypically tidy version. Patinated overall. Suggested date: Possibly Roman, 43-4100. Diameter: 16mm, Height: 11.4mm, Weight: 11.84gms

NLM-75D761: COIN WEIGHT
Copper alloy coin weight. Milled weight with identical milled border and legend on both sides. The finder suggests this may be a guinea weight. The inscription, over three lines, reads: S / 21 / 5 * 9, probably meaning 21 shillings if this suggestion is sustained. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1700-1770. Diameter: 20.7mm, Thickness: 3.6mm, Weight: 7.90gms, die axis: 6.

NLM-75F102: INGOT MOULD
Brown ferruginous fine grained Sandstone possible ingot mould. Fragment of rock crudely shaped by the cleavage of flakes from its sides and base, probably adapting a naturally formed shape. The upper surface bears an oval depression of length 54mm, width 24mm and depth 24mm; the base of this hollow is slightly paler and duller than other surfaces. Though this cavity might be fortuitously formed, as by a fossil bivalve shell, its regularity may hints at artificial origin or improvement. Such objects were often improvised: a Viking Age example from Lurk Lane, Beverley was made from a fragment of tile scavenged from nearby Roman ruins. Suggested date: Possibly Early Medieval, 850-1050. Length: 71.4mm, Width: 47.6mm, Height: 37mm, Weight: 137.04gms.

WAW-768AA5: COIN
A very fine silver Roman denarius of Trajan, 'S.P.Q.R OPTIMO PRINCIPI' Trajan on horseback facing left holding spear reverse, Rome mint (112-114 AD; Reece Issue Period 5; RIC Vol II p. 264 no 291).

LON-7697E7: BADGE
A fragment of a medieval cast lead alloy secular badge in the shape of a purse. The fragment is one incomplete half of a two-piece badge or pendant. The face of the badge is decorated with key-hole shaped holes with line or cross-hatched decorative arched borders. The holes are in expanding rows (2, 3, 4, 5 in each row from top to bottom). The rows are further bordered by an angled section decorated with a plain zig-zag on a cross-hatched background. There is one attachment loop surviving on the top edge; two breaks on the bottom edge indicate the position of another two originally. The fragment measures 48.3mm (length) x 37.2mm (width) x 4.8mm (thickness) and weighs 7.26g. A similar badge is discussed in Spencer (1998, 314-316, ref 313) which it dated to c. late 13th to 14th century AD.

LON-7911B3: TOKEN

SWYOR-7B00B8: ANIMAL REMAINS
A fragment of bone of unknown date. It is part of a long bone, judging from the size, from a cow or horse. With only part of the shaft remaining, it is not possible to be certain of the species. The thickness perhaps indicates a tibia. The bone is not fresh, so is likely to be archaeological, but cannot be dated without using scientific techniques. Since it was found on Marston Moor Battlefield, a date of 1644 is perhaps most likely.

PUBLIC-92B295: BROOCH
Copper alloy Colchester derivative brooch with hinge mechanism, also known as a dolphin brooch. The wings are tubular and apparently undecorated. The bow tapers from a humped top to a plain foot without knob, and is decorated with two widely spaced longitudinal grooves. Part of the catchplate can be seen on the reverse of the foot. Width of wings 22mm, total length 32mm. Early Roman, c. 43-c.120 AD.

CORN-A51194: ROD
Broken cast copper alloy bit from the end of a soldering iron rod, square in plan and section and rectangular in profile, which was used for tinning or soldering in order to repair copper alloy vessels and other items. There is some iron corrosion product at the broken square end of the bit, which is where a steel pin would have been connected to the copper bit. The other end of the steel pin would have been connected to a wooden handle. The copper bit tapers to a pointed end which has been flattened and rounded through heating and use, to apply a lead/tin alloy solder. The material and look of the piece suggests that it is likely late 19th to early 20th century in date. Examples on ebay are generally not dated but those that are suggest 1920s-1930s.

SUR-A59505: PURSE
One arm of a purse bar belonging to Ward Perkins Class A2. The bar has a flat arm with a rounded rectangular section and a flange with three holes for suspending the purse bag. Both sides are decorated with an inscription inlaid with niello; inscriptions are characteristic of Class A2 bars.. One side reads STMARII[...]; the other reads CRISSTE. The first S of CRISSTE is reversed and the I is barred.

CORN-A59A41: TALLY
Copper alloy mining workers pay cheque token or tally with the words: PAY CHECK stamped in the legend around the number '7' on the obverse of the token. The reverse is blank and the token has been perforated for suspension. These tallies were used as part of a system for ensuring the correct pay by 'checking' in and out of the workplace prior to machines being produced for this specific purpose. 'Checks' were often 'holed' for hanging on boards. In mining, for example, a number on the check was personal to each miner and prior to going down the pit, the miner would give one of his tallies to the pit head "banksman", keeping the duplicate for the duration of the shift. Upon returning to the surface, the miner gave his personal tally to the banksman who would pass it on to the time office or the lamp room. This system made it possible to keep track on workers' whereabouts in the mine complex and for what periods they were working. Pay checks and tallies were only marked on one side and were produced in a great variety of shapes, sizes and designs; made typically of brass or zinc. The use of Pit Checks is believed to have commenced in Britain c.1860 and continued in some areas until the 1980s when they were replaced with electronic swipe cards.

BH-B55F03: STRAP END
A copper-alloy strap-end, probably dating from the Early-Medieval to Medieval periods. The body of the strap-end consists of a cast sphere with a knob projecting downwards from its base, and four other such knobs, equally spaced, forming a horizontal band around its centre. The damaged attachment end comprises two flat plates which project vertically upwards from the body, separated from each other by a 'V-shaped' gap, in which there is a trace of iron corrosion or mineralised leather. The object measures 26.4mm long, up to 19.4mm wide and weighs 6.8g. Several similar strap-ends have been recorded on the PAS database, the closest parallel being NMS-A59A63, from Burgh Castle, Norfolk. The majority of the PAS examples appear have been found in the north and east of the country: further examples include SF-264006, from Nettlestead, Suffolk; NCL-1D0882, from Ainderby Steeple, North Yorkshire; NMS-F1E456 and NMS-EFA978, from Barton Bendish and Brampton, Norfolk, respectively. With no known examples from excavated contexts, the dating of such artefacts is problematic. Suggested dates for those on PAS range from Late Roman to post-Medieval, although most lean towards a Middle to Late Saxon date. In the case of this particular strap-end, the recorder suggests that the general style and the dull brown appearance of the metal may be indicative of an 11th to 12th century date.

DUR-B5B064: COIN
A halfgroat of Edward IV, minted in Canterbury between 1464-70, North Number: 1589.

LANCUM-3465F1: CLOTH SEAL
Late post medieval Russian cast lead or lead alloy flax seal, probably eighteenth century in date and heavily worn. Probably relating to the import of flax from the Baltic to the Fylde. Two holes have been passed bottom to top though the seal. The sealing cord would have passed through the holes. Relief inscriptions on both sides. The NO:9 on the obverse refers to the length of fabric measured in Dutch els. The inspection date on the reverse is incomplete but appears to be either 1775 or 175? AD. Also on the reverse the post indentifier code is NP (or possibly B), and the flax quality SB.6A. Length 18mm and width 15mm. Dates to between 1750 and 1775 AD.

LEIC-B8D654: MOUNT
Medieval copper alloy and enamel mount, probably a horse harness mount, 45mm long, 24mm wide and 3mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 4.85grams. It consists of a rectangular plate with a curved shaft, 8mm wide, emerging from the centre of its upper edge. The rectangular plate is decorated with a left facing griffin, with pointed ears, long curved neck and a raised foreleg facing outwards. It has curved wings emerging from its centre back and it has a long tail which points upwards just behind its wings.

LON-B8F456: TILE
A fragment of a post medieval ceramic delftware polychrome tile. The fragment contains one original corner and has two broken sides. The tile is tin-glazed on the upper surface with a floral design (in yellow, green and red) in the corner with a fragment of a multi-banded geometric inner border. Near the corner of the upper surface is a circular nail hole which does not continue to the reverse; this suggests it was created to temporarily hold a nail during manufacture. The reverse of the tile is rough and uneven. The fragment measures 73.6mm (length) x 58.2mm (width) x 18.9mm (thickness) and weighs 108.45g. Two similar tiles are included in Betts (2010, 94-95; ref. 27 & 28), which he identifies as Flemish in origin and from c. 1550 AD. Therefore a similar place of manufacture and date is suggested for this fragment.

DUR-B8F9F4: COIN
A silver halfpenny (cut) of the voided shortcross period, 1180-1278, the coin has been double struck and it is therefore, difficult to tell which is the original decoration.

A rivet can be found set inside from the knop. The opposite split end has a rivet in each corner, and the edge forms a shallow V-shape with a cleft in the centre. There is no evidence for decoration on either face.

NCL-B93D84: COIN
A radiate of Postumus, Pax reverse, 260-269.

LEIC-B95BB8: MOUNT
Post Medieval copper alloy mount, 18mm long, 12mm wide and 2mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 1.32grams. The object is trapezoidal in form and rectangular in section. It is plain except for a border of applied? material (or a filled incised line) . Its reverse contains two circular sectioned prongs for attachment.

LEIC-B991D2: MOUNT
Post Medieval? copper alloy mount, 40mm long, 10mm wide and 2mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 4.65grams. The object consists of a rectangular plate which terminates by tapering into a sub circular shaft which is probably the remains of a hook. The upper part of the plate has two circular fixing holes.

SUR-B9A252: COIN
A farthing of Richard II 1377-99. Mint of London.

LON-B9C036: VESSEL
A rim fragment of a Roman ceramic Samian ware vessel. The fragment is undecorated except for the identifying slip and a simple lipped rim. The fragment measures 18.0mm (length) x 21.7mm (width) x 7.8mm (thickness) and weighs 2.06g. Samian ware is imported from Gaul (modern France and Western Germany) and dates to c. 50-250 AD.

SWYOR-B9C874: DAGGER
A possible Post Medieval pommel from a knife or dagger. The object is half of a sheet copper alloy sphere with a circular hole at the apex, surrounded by a thick collar. The lower half of the sphere is missing, and the remainder has been squashed so that the median band is now bent inwards and triangular in plan. There is a raised and moulded band decorated with short transverse incised lines round the circumference at what was once the widest point. The metal is broken along the lower edges if the band, but a strip of metal survives, enough to show that there was a sheet metal lower part. The patina is a patchy brown green and suggests a Post Medieval date, as does the decoration. Compare SWYOR-86F357 which is a more complete but similar cane, dagger or knife handle. It is also possible that this object is part of a swivel from a strap fitting of Medieval or Post Medieval date. Compare GLO-ABED02.

SWYOR-BA0041: PISTOL
An unidentified Post Medieval object. It consists of a dome which is pointed oval in plan. The dome is hollow and at one end is extends into a bar of rectangular section which bends back beneath the dome and terminates in a bifurcated break, perhaps where the was originally a hole or a slot. There is a narrow raised line round the edge of the dome and along the edge of the bar, but it fades out at the bend. The border is not interrupted at the other end of the domed area, indicating that there was never a matching bar there. There is a large circular hole in the apex of the dome. The metal is patchy black and red, suggesting a late Post Medieval date. The function of this object is not known but David Williams (PAS) has suggested that it could be a mount from the butt of a pistol.

DUR-BA1366: COIN
A silver penny of Edward I, 1301-1310, minted in London, Class 10ab2, North Number: 1038/2.

LEIC-BA1F07: TOGGLE
Iron Age toggle, 19mm long and 8mm wide and thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 3.95grams. The object consists of a sub rectangular plate which has a second narrower plate emerging from the centre of its reverse. This plate has two rounded protrusions on its outer edge which corresponds to two circular holes, positioned near the join. Each of these holes is accompanied on alternate sides by a curved linear depression which is aligned with the hole and continues to the objects edge. This appears to have been done to help with sewing the object onto a garment. The upper surface is decorated with a raised pattern formed of two rounded triangles (heart shapes) joined together at their narrow ends by a narrow shaft. The surface of each is damaged but both have a central raised circle and both appear to have had some decoration on the outer rounded lobes. The decoration and the objects form suggest it is an Iron Age toggle, but there are no parallels on the database.

A copper-alloy knife stop of post-medieval date. The stop is sub-rectangular in plan and section, being almost square but with curved sides. There is a long aperture at one end in the form of a rectangular slot across the base. The top of the blade would have fitted into this slot. There is a square hole through the centre of the stop, emerging at the top. The tang would have filled this. The stop has a predominantly grey green patina with some wear. Compare WMID-DEFF41.

One face of the body is moulded with raised radiating ribs, representing a scallop shell. On the other face is another design which is less clear. There are two letters in relief, but the first is illegible. The second is a "C" or "G". There is damage to the body and the top of the neck where it has been bent and smashed; the two side lugs or loops are also broken and only remnants of them remain attached. The ampulla has a creamy light brown patina with major damage having a dark creamy grey colour. The scallop shell is a common design for ampullae as the scallop was a symbol of pilgrimage. This style of ampulla usually dates from the Fourteenth, Fifteenth or Sixteenth Centuries. Reference: Spencer (1990) Salisbury and South Wilshire Museum Medieval Catalogue, Part 2, pages 57-62.

SWYOR-CCBE04: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead alloy spindle whorl of probable Medieval date. The spindle whorl is plano convex, with one face more shallow than the other, and it has a raised border around the outer edge. There is also a central circular perforation which tapers from a diameter of 9.8mm to 10.1mm; there is no indentation in the wall of the perforation. Both faces are decorated with a series of raised dots separated by lines radiating from a central raised border. The body of the whorl shows very little wear. The spindle whorl has a creamy brown and white patina. Examples of whorls with raised lines and dots are often attributed to the Medieval period. However, spindle whorls and weights were cast locally in lead from the Roman period to the Post-Medieval period and are hard to date precisely. Thickness: 11mm; Diameter: 26.6mm; Weight: 29.84g

HAMP-CCC042: BROOCH
A cast copper-alloy Roman initial T-shaped brooch, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin (later 1st-century AD). The brooch survives well, only having suffered some post-depositional abrasions. The head has tubular wings, formed of two curved sections which almost meet at the base. The upper surface of the wings is decorated with two ridges each formed of angled removals that sit within their own groove. There is a further slight depression between each groove. One wing is longer with its decoration slightly more spaced out. The axis bar is largely obscured by the wings, but is can be said to have been made from iron judging by orange corrosion product both at the wing terminals and within the pin slot. The hinged pin is missing. The upper bow emerges from the wings initially at a width of c. 7.65mm before tapering gradually. Initially it turns through around ninety degrees. Its upper surface has a deep central V-shaped groove, flanked on each side by a grooved step. The lower surface of the bow is flat; the bow thus has a sub-semicircular cross-section. As the leg tapers in width it expands in thickness terminating in an abraded catch-plate whose web is c. 17.9mm in length. The fold is slightly abraded and measures 11.4mm. On its upper surface is a small pointed foot knob beyond a low transverse ridge. The brooch now has an even light-mid green patina. Bayley and Butcher (2004, 159) describe initial T-shaped brooches as 'usually hinged, not enamelled but sometimes with fine relief decoration and lacking a headloop.' They suggest a Flavian association (69-96 AD).

SWYOR-CCF294: COIN
A Roman coin: a nummus of Constantine I (AD 306-337). Reece period 17 (AD 330-348). GLORIA EXERCITVS, Two soldiers and two standards reverse type; minted in Trier, period 2 (AD 330-335). Reference: LBRC, page 5, number 67/67a. Thickness: 1.5mm; Diameter: 17.7mm; Weight: 1.83g

BERK-CD1267: BROOCH

DOR-CD2B42: BROOCH
A cast copper alloy button brooch. A disc shaped brooch decorated on the front with a stylised human face. The details of the face are picked out in slightly raised outlines. There is a combineded brow and nose with oval eyes below. Beneath the eyes are three curving lines on each cheek. There is a downcurving moustache with curled ends at the bottom, above a short line for the mouth. Above the brow is a possible representation of a helmet in the form of two concentric shapes with arched tops and a point at the base. The face is framed by two concentric circular bands. The edge of the brooch is not raised. The the back set at 3and 6 o'clock in relation to the face, are the stubs of the attachment lug and catchplate. t is probable that the brooch was originally gilded as are serveral examples of this type on the database (e.g. HAMP-141866) Date: Early Early-Medieval - c. 450 - 600 AD Dimensions: 18.53 mm x 17.39 mm x 3.38 mm Weight: 1.76 g

BERK-CD43D1: BRACELET

A late Roman copper-alloy nummus of the House of Valentinian, SECVRITAS REI PVBLICAE (Victory advancing left), illegible mint. Struck AD 364-78.

HAMP-CE1273: BROOCH
A damaged and bent fragment from an early-medieval (5th- to 6th-century Anglo-Saxon) cast copper-alloy saucer brooch. The brooch would originally have been circular in plan with an upturned rim. Perhaps a sixth of the original brooch survives, broken before the upturned rim survives. The upper surface of the brooch is divided into concentric decorative zones divided by a raised circle: The inner zone is comprised of a raised radial ridges that travel out to the circular border; there may have been something within. The main decorative zone is comprised of Salin style I zoomorphic decoration: seemingly legs formed of three strands that run into each other with wedge fillers around. The outer zone is decorated with triple-stranded swags also with wedge shaped fillers. The reverse of the brooch has an integrally cast lug, most likely to be the catch-plate. There is no trace of iron corrosion on the reverse of the brooch. The artefact is now mainly a purple/brown colour with areas of yellow/brown corrosion product and some patches of light green. Due to the condition of the brooch, an exact parallel cannot be found. Zoomorphic designs are less common on saucer brooches than geometric designs.

NCL-CE3A11: BUCKLE
A cast copper-alloy Medieval buckle, 1350-1500. The buckle is double-looped, with two D-shapes back-to-back and sharing a central crossbar. The outer frames are decorated with moulded lines across the frame. One frame is complete, but the other has been substantially damaged and is missing. The pin is also missing.

NCL-CE5167: BUCKLE
A cast copper-alloy Post-Medieval buckle, 1700-1760. The buckle is convex and square-framed with a missing crossbar. Corrosion on the inside edge of the frame suggests the crossbar was an axel type inserted through perforations in the frame and made of iron. The outer surface of the buckle has moulded cable-twist decoration. The buckle frame is distorted, one side of the frame having been bent inward.

LEIC-CE56E5: TAP
Medieval copper alloy barrel tap? the object is 117mm long, 36mm wide and 19mm thick. It is in fair condition and weighs127grams. The object is sub circular in section and sub rectangular in form. Its base is formed of a circular sectioned tube which has a raised collar at its upper end and has a diagonally placed opening at the base, which creates a point (presumably for forcing it into a barrel). Above the collar the object takes the form of a male figure in long flowing robes with chin length hair. In front of him he cradles a rounded jug in both hands, as though pouring liquid from the circular opening in the top. This has a worn hole to one side which would have rendered it useless.

LON-CE5DB2: KNIFE
An incomplete post medieval knife, missing the blade and parts of the handle. The core of the knife is an iron tang with a intergal end plate and finial knop. The other end of the surviving tang is broken. On the tang sit six ovoid bone sections which widen as they near the finial end. There is a gap between each and a copper alloy plate attached on either side facing the gaps. Each section is carved, and has eight facets. The sections are in sets of three; the bone pieces get thicker as the trio nears the finial end, then thin for the start of the next trio. The largest of each trio is decorated with a ring-and-dot motif on each facet. After the largest bone section is the end plate and knop. The knife now measures 67.5mm (length) x 20.4mm (width) x 12.2mm (thickness) and weighs 18.14g. It is likely that the gaps between the bone sections would have held another organic material (e.g. wooden) section. The shape of the handle and the through tang suggest an early post medieval date, c. 1525-1600 AD.

NCL-CE65A4: CORE
Three flint cores of Prehistoric date, probably Neolithic, c. 3500 BC-2100 BC. Two cores are a white-grey flint, the larger bearing cortex. The third core is a dark grey flint. All three indicate knapping.

NCL-CE7827: FLAKE
Seven flint flakes of Prehistoric date, probably Neolithic, c. 3500 BC-2100 BC. The flakes are secondary and tertiary, mostly sub-triangular in plan and made from honey-brown to white-grey and dark grey flint.

LIN-CE86F2: SPINDLE WHORL

NCL-CE8B91: BLADE
A flint blade of Prehistoric date, probably Neolithic, c. 3500 BC-2100 BC. The blade is sub-rectangular in plan, with one straight-edged end that probably snapped and the opposite end rounded. In section, the blade is triangular. It has been knapped from a white-grey flint and there are some traces of retouch along the edges.

NARC-CE9307: COIN
A copper alloy nummus, of the House of Constantine. GLORIA EXERCITVS issue.

LIN-CE9510: PIN
A copper alloy pin of Roman or Medieval date. The pin has a solid plano-convex head with a short, complete circular-sectioned shank.

SWYOR-CEA244: WEIGHT
A possible cast lead alloy weight of possibly Roman date (AD 43-410). The object is sub triangular in plan, with a trapezoidal projection from the centre of the wide end. It has an elongated tear drop-shaped perforation at the tapered end which is filled with iron corrosion. The object is crudely made and appears to have extra blobs of metal pressed onto both faces. The object has a well developed creamy white patina flecked with a creamy brown.A deep gouge cutting into one edge appears to be post depositional damage. This object is cautiously identified as a possible weight which would have had an iron suspension loop but at 34.7g is is not obviously close to any known division of common weighing systems. The iron loop would have added to the mass. Flat weights with iron suspension loops are known from Roman contexts, such as DUR-DFB042, but the iron is usually embedded in the lead, not attached through a perforation. The object could also be much later, and could perhaps have been a line weight or net weight rather than a weight of a specific mass. Length: 43.5mm; Width: 26.9mm; Thickness: 8.6mm; Weight: 34.71g

NCL-CEA577: ARROWHEAD
A flint arrowhead of Neolithic date, c. 3500 BC-2100 BC. The arrowhead has been knapped from a light grey coloured flint in a roughly triangular shape with some retouch along one edge. However, it appears unfinished.

DUR-CEB1D5: BROOCH
A copper alloy bow and fantail brooch dating to the 1st/2nd centuries AD. The brooch is missing the spring mechanism, pin and foot. What remains is an undecorated head and curved bow that widens from a circular panel about halfway down the bow. This circular panel consists of another raised circle inside the border as decoration. The bow then widens into a fan, which has been broken, any decoration is therefore hard to see. The metal is green in colour. It weighs 5.3g and measures 31.35mm in length, 15.03mm in width and 2.49mm in thickness. Parallels can be found in Hattatt, R. (1989) A visual catalogue of Ancient Brooches, Oxbow: 315, no. 74 and in Mackreth (2011) Brooches in Late Iron Age and Roman Britain : vol 1, p.127,plate 86 no.5603 being the most similar designates this brooch type as being a 'Hinged' variety of the Trumpet brooch, type TR4.1b1

LEIC-CED614: COIN
Post Medieval silver Ventian Soldino, issued by Doge Leonardo Lorendan, 1501-21.

LON-CEDC17: KNIFE
An incomplete post medieval knife, missing the blade and parts of the handle. The outside of handle is bone and sub-square in section. The terminal is in the shape of a hand which is offset from the handle's centre and narrowed; the fingers are emphasised by incised lines between. Next to the hand the full width of the handle has a double incised collar, creating a sleeve-like effect. The core of the knife is an iron tang, which can be seen in the breaks on the handle. The bone has broken unevenly, showing the side of the iron tang. The knife has broken across completely before the blade starts. The knife now measures 93.3mm (length) x 12.7mm (width) x 8.0mm (thickness) and weighs 11.25g. The shape of the handle and the through tang suggest an early post medieval date, c. 1500-1550 AD.

NARC-CEE750: COIN
A copper alloy nummus, of the House of Constantine. GLORIA EXERCITVS issue.

SWYOR-CEEC88: STRAP END
An incomplete cast copper alloy probable strap end of Roman date. It is probably part of a Roman amphora strap end. The object is a flat plate of copper alloy. It is broken at both ends. One end is semicircular, and divided into three arms. The central arm is wide and rectangular, while the side arms are curved and rounded. The other end is rectangular and is the continuation of the central arm. The plate is decorated with a border of punched annulets, and two ring and dot motifs, one at the top of each side arm. The reverse is plain. The metal has a dark green patina. Compare NLM-9CC937 and ESS-82A246. Length: 22.4mm; Width: 21.4mm; Thickness: 1.4mm; Weight: 2.28g

The worn terminal is thickened and in the form of an animal head with flattened ears.

BERK-CFAA71: BEAD
Two copper alloy annular beads of unknown date. The beads both have a D-shaped cross section and have a large roughly central perforation. Unfortunately this style of bead was current over many centuries, however given the style of the beads and their findspot a date range of the later Iron Age to Early-medieval period would seem most likely. Several similar beads have been recorded on this database, including SF-B53242 and LIN-E32586. The larger bead measures 14.39mm in diameter and the smaller measures 12.80mm diameter.

LON-CFCBA5: WASTE
A piece of lead alloy waste disc with post medieval maker mark stamps on both sides. There are at least six stamps on boths faces; all the visible stamps contain the letters 'IM' within a beaded border. The marks are not identical, suggesting that this piece was used to perfect a stamp in production. The disc measures 38.6mm (length) x 36.4mm (width) x 4.4mm (thickness) and weighs 37.73g. The style of the stamp suggests that it is 17th or early 18th century in date.

BERK-CFDB44: MOUNT
A copper alloy decorative mount, possibly for horse harnesses or more likely furniture and probably medieval or early post-medieval in date. The mount is trapezoidal in plan but with a curved apex; the mount is decorated on one face by pairs of incised lines arranged in geometric patterns.

The attachment end is missing.

SWYOR-D019F3: MICROLITH
A group of four flint microliths dating from the Early Mesolithic period. They are formed on broad flakes of translucent grey flint with some mottling. The longest is 36.38mm long, 10.76mm wide, 3.46mm thick, 1.34g. It has fine retouch from the dorsal face along both sides. There are long removals on the dorsal face. The next longest is 31.46mm long, 13.03mm wide and 3.84mm thick. 1.64g. The slightly tan coloured flitn has very fine retouch along both sides. The proximal end is rounded. The next is 29.84mm long, 12.84mm wide and 3.9mm thick. 1.7g. The distal end is snapped and the prioximal end is roudned, there is neat retouch along the left side and sporadic retouch along the right edge. The shortest microlith is 25.5mm long, 15.25mm wide and 5.42mm thick. 1.98g. There is evidence of platform preparation, uneven retouch on the left side, removals from the distal end, neat retouch on the right side of the distal end adn on the proxinal end of the right side, and less tidy retouch, perhaps from the ventral face on the distal end of the right side.

BERK-D01DF7: TOKEN
A Medieval to Post-medieval uniface lead token decorated with a simple cross. Considerably damaged.Lead tokens are enigmatic are hard to date, but simple crosses may have been imitating Edwardian coinage, or simply represented an unknown object or quantity during later periods where they are assumed to be agricultural tallies.

NARC-D167D4: BUCKLE
This composite object, roughly square in plan, is made up of a flat square sheet of copper alloy is fixed to the reverse of a sub-square frame, which has a large circular opening and a lobe at each corner, by four rivets. Three rivets survive in place and each has a globular head, which appear to be enamelled. The stems of the rivets are curled over at the reverse. The centre of the object, fixed through the backplate, is a large globular headed rivet with a cros etched into the head. The stem is flush against the reverse. The object is 21mm x 22mm and is 2.5mm thick. The corner rivet heads are 3.5mm in diameter and the stems are approximately 8mm long. The head of the central rivet is 6mm in diameter. This object shows some similarities in form to SUSS-8D0E38, SUR-4161C5 and BH-715066 from Hertfordshire. The latter example has a zoomorphic engraved buckle plate which dates it to the 13th century. Therefore, this object has been given a similar date.

SWYOR-DE8A26: SCRAPER (TOOL)
A group of seven flint scrapers of Neolithic date. The largest is 49.23mm long, 34.09mm wide and 16.5mm thick. 32.07g. It is tan coloured flint with cortex on the dorsal face, and retouch on the proximal end. The next is 38.1mm long, 28.78mm wide and 9.07mm thick. 8.15g. The scraper is oval and has retouch on the right edge and proximal end. Another is 33.19mm long, 28.88mm wide and 7.65mm thick. 8.28g. There is cortex on the dorsal face and has retouch on all edges. It is sub circular. The next is 25.94mm long, 24.4mm wide and 10.07mm thick. 6.95g. It is sub rectangular and there is retouch from the dorsal face at the distal end, and from the ventral face on the right side. It is dark grey to black flint. Another is 28.08mm long, 22.01mm wide and 6.7mm thick. 5.24g. It is oval with retouch ont he right side from the dorsal face. It is mottled grey flint. The penultimate flint is 25.09mm long, 25.35mm wide and 10.33mm thick. 7.43g. The scraper is circular and tan colured. There is retouch on all edges except the right which has cortex. The last is 26.51mm long, 20.42mm wide and 6.76mm thick. 4.79g. It is sub rectangular with cortex on the right side, and patina on the left side. The distal end is retouched to form the scraping edge.

SWYOR-DEBB78: CORE
Three flint cores of probable Mesolithic date. The smallest is 21.47mm long, 19.98mm wide and 12.02mm thick. 4.75g. It is an exhausted blade core formed from mottled tan flint. The next is 31.67mm long, 28.07mm wide and 14.79mm thick. 12.7g. It is a blade core on mottled grey flint. The last is 34.58mm long, 25.5mm wide and 20.13mm thick. 17.47g. It is a unideirectional blade core with some cortex on one edge. The flitn is mottled grey.

SWYOR-DF1F05: STRAP END
A folded sheet copper alloy possible strap end. The piece is formed of a sub-rectangular strip of copper alloy bent back on itself. One side is complete and the other is broken in half with the attachment end missing. The complete side is plain and has two circular attachment holes, one near each corner of the attachment end. The other end is broken, but there is a circular rivet hole in the centre near the break. None of the rivet holes line up with marks on the other plate, suggesting that the bend may not be in its original position. Egan and Pritchard (1993:159) illustrates some similar pieces, mostly decorated and with additional rivets, which they conclude are strap ends based on the lack of cut outs for the frame and parallels on spur straps (ibid:218). Compare SOM-564945.

DUR-DF3672: MOUNT
A cast copper-alloy bar mount from the Medieval period. The mount is rectangular in plan and D-shaped in section. Its upper face has ridge and groove decoration across its width. The mount has a rounded terminal on one end, the opposite end has broken off. On the reverse is one rivet, which has been broken. It is possible that there was another rivet at the broken end of the object.The object is green in colour and it is in fair condition, but there is corrosion on the underside. It weighs 5.3g and measures 33.12mm in length, 10.53mm in width and 4.33mm in thickness.

SWYOR-DF3BC5: STRAP END
Half of a folded sheet copper alloy possible strap end. The piece is formed of a sub-rectangular strip of copper alloy broken at one end. The complete end is plain and has a circular attachment hole in the centre near the end. The attachemnt end is missing so it is not clear whether it is a strap end or buckle plate. Compare WILT-BEDE71.

SWYOR-DF4F53: STRAP END
Half of a folded sheet copper alloy possible strap end or buckle plate. The piece is formed of a sub-rectangular strip of copper alloy broken at one end. The complete end is plain and has a rivet with a flattened head in the centre near the end. The attachement end is missing so it is not clear whether it is a strap end or buckle plate. Compare WILT-BEDE71.

SWYOR-DF5F37: STRAP END
Half of a folded sheet copper alloy possible strap end or buckle plate. The piece is formed of a sub-rectangular strip of copper alloy broken at both ends. There is a circular rivet hole across the break at one end. The attachement end is missing so it is not clear whether it is a strap end or buckle plate. Compare WILT-BEDE71.

SWYOR-DFA426: BUCKLE
Half of a sheet copper alloy Medieval buckle plate. The piece is formed of a sub-rectangular strip of copper alloy broken the hinge end across the hinge tabs. There is a slot for the pin. There is a circular rivet hole at the other end.

SWYOR-DFB5D4: BUCKLE
Half of a sheet copper alloy Medieval buckle plate. The piece is formed of a sub-rectangular strip of copper alloy broken the hinge end across the hinge tabs. There is a slot for the pin and two circular rivet holes near the slot. There is a circular rivet hole at the other end across the break. The front face is decorated with a double incised line along both long edges.

SWYOR-E021A4: MOUNT
A copper alloy circular object, perhaps a mount, of probable Early Medieval date. It is a circular disc of copper alloy sheet. There are four circular holes through the plate, one in each angle of an incised cross with flared arms. There are traces of gilt in the incised lines. There is no evidence of attachment on the reverse, but one edge is broken, so there may have been an attachment there. The same design can be seen on early Medieval brooches such as NMS-698432 and NMS-993175, and on a mount HAMP-10B565 (though this is given a later date).

SWYOR-E03950: STRAP FITTING
A small cast copper-alloy medieval bar mount, sub-hemispherical in form. The convex, central lobe is crossed by four incised transverse lines that create ridges. There are fine longitudinal incisions across the ridges. The two smaller perforated side lobes are slightly flattened at their terminals; they both retain their rivets. There is also part of a rove, or the metal to which the fitting was attached surviving ont he back of one of the rivets. The object is similar to artefacts illustrated in Read (2001, 23; fig. 12) and Egan and Pritchard (1991, 214; fig. 134) which are dated to the second half of the fourteenth century. This artefact has a green colour.

SWYOR-E06593: CHAIN
A copper alloy link from a slender chain, perhaps for jewellery. It is Post Medieval to Modern in date. It consists of a central cylinder with a small hole at each end. Projecting from the hole is a wire loop. Both ends of the wire pass into the hole. The remain parallel and against each other for a few milimetres and then divide into a circular loop. One loop is complete, but the one projecting from the other end of the cylinder is splayed open with one end of the wire having escaped from the hole. The loops are able to rotate inside the cylinder, giving it the functionality of a swivel. The metal is hardly patinated, suggesting a late date. Compare NCL-2B87A2 which is a similar fitting in gold.

SWYOR-E09042: BEAD
An incomplete sky blue opaque glass bead of cylinder design. Only one end of the bead survives. There is a circular hole through the centre of the bead. It was made by trailing glass in a spiral - a line can be seen twisting along the length of the bead. Glass beads are very hard to date, but this one is likely to be Early Medieval because it is from a site which produces a lot of Early Medieval material. Compare SWYOR-41CFB4, BERK-6C6D05 and BERK-6F9BF3.

SWYOR-E0A6C4: SHOT
A group of eighteen lead alloy objects, originally recorded as polyhedral weights, of Early Medieval date, but now thought to be Post Medieval buckshot. Each consists of a globule of metal impressed with a number of circular depressions. Nine are dark grey and of better quality with clear depressions. The others are more corroded and less clear. These are similar to Treasure Case number 2004 T411, a probable Viking weight also made of lead alloy (and so determined to be Not Treasure). Compare also SWYOR-E809B3 and SWYOR-21D072. Though originally recorded as polyhedral weights, the number of similar finds raises the possibility that these are pellets fired from a gun, similar to grape shot but smaller, and of Post Medieval date. Compare examples of buckshot in Harding (2012) "Lead Shot of the English Civil War", for example, Plate 21.

SWYOR-E0BEC0: HOOKED TAG
A copper-alloy hooked tag of Early Medieval (probably late 8th to 9th century) date. The bottom point of the inverted drop-shaped plate tapers but is broken before the backward-facing hook. The plate has two circular holes at the upper edge. It is decorated with double rouletted lines forming a cross in the centre and a border round the edge of the plate. Compare BH-8A2CD5 and GLO-522F03. Similar to Read Class A type 2 plate 70

SWYOR-E0DE43: HOOKED TAG
A copper-alloy hooked tag of Early Medieval (probably late 8th to 9th century) date. The bottom point of the inverted drop-shaped plate tapers and extends into a backward-facing hook. The plate has two circular holes at the upper edge which is bi lobed like the top of a heart shape. One hole is elongated, perhaps a double hole suggesting a repair. The plate is decorated with notches round the edge giving a serrated effect. There is also some transverse moulding across the top of the hook. Compare LEIC-9FC848 and FAKL-C9E283. See also Read Class B type 3 plate 102 page 22

SWYOR-E10F96: MOUNT
A sheet copper alloy Medieval mount in the form of a quatrefoil. There is a circular rivet hole in the centre, but the rivet is loose and can be removed. It is also copper alloy with a flat head. Compare NLM-08E064 and BH-E5E8B2.

SWYOR-E116C8: WEIGHT
A cast lead artefact, probably a weight, of uncertain, but probably Medieval date. In shape it is slightly more than a hemisphere. It is domed, with one side more rounded and steeper; the other side is shallower and more angled. The object has a slightly concave base with scratch and wear marks. There is an unusual off set point near the apex, but there is no iron loop. The object stands 12.6mm high, has a maximum diameter of 21.9mm and weighs 31.13 grams. It is undecorated and has a well developed creamy white-brown patina. At 31.1g, this object has the same mass as an ounce in the English Troy or Apothecary system whereby a pound was made up of 12 ounces of 31.1g. It is also equal to 20 pennyweight. See page 302 in Medieval Households by Egan.

SWYOR-E132C5: MOUNT
A fragment of copper alloy, probably a mount with a rivet still in place. The object is rectangular in plan and D shaped in section, with a separate thin wire copper alloy rivet surviving, with the ends thickened. The other circular rivet hole is empty. It is believed to be Early Medieval based on comparison to other similar finds, and because this site produces many early Medieval finds. Its function is unknown but it could have been part of binding, maybe from a shield or vessel. Compare SWYOR-7CAAE7, SWYOR-7CD8D7 and SWYOR-DBEDF7.

DUR-E141D6: COIN
A silver penny of Richard I, 1189-1190, minted in Lincoln by Edmund, Class 2, North Number: 965.

SWYOR-E15784: BOOK FITTING
The cast copper-alloy terminal 'loop' from a medieval book clasp. As with such objects the body is broadly semi-circular with a central hole. At the flat end is a wider integral rectangular plate witha rivet hole through it. This is instead of the more usual bar for the strap to loop round. The fitting terminates in a small, perpendicular loop, pierced centrally but bloked by corrosion. Compare DENO-855810 and HAMP-C9A8D5.

SUR-E178B7: HARNESS PENDANT
A complete medieval cast copper alloy, gilded and enamelled harness pendant. The pendant is quatrefoil with projecting points in each angle. Centrally there is a left-facing lion regardant against a red enamelled field and with four additional red inlays in the corner projections. Each lobe contains a lys but the enamelled fields are now missing (though almost certainly blue).

SWYOR-E178C2: COIN
A Medieval silver coin; a cut farthing of Jihn (1166 - 1216) or Henry III (1216 - 1272) dating from 1199 - 1247 AD, class 5 onwards. It was minted in London, but the moneyer's name is not visible.

HESH-E1AE91: COIN
Silver 'soverign' type penny of Henry VIII (1509-1547), struck in Durham by Archbishop Thomas Ruthall between 1509 and 1523. Initial Mark: Lis North:1776 Spink: 2331

SUR-E1B431: HARNESS PENDANT
A complete medieval cast copper alloy and enamelled heraldic harness pendant. The pendant is shield-shaped. Gules fretty (or/argent) a label (?). This is probably the Huddleston or Audley families.

SWYOR-E1C656: BUCKLE
A complete Medieval single loop buckle frame dating from about 1350 - 1400 AD. It is a Meols type 6 buckle. The frame has convex sides and the wider outside edge has seven transverse grooves, the central groove acting as the pin notch. The back of the outside edge is smooth and undecorated. The copper alloy pin is bent but still intact and moves freely along the narrowed and offset pin bar. The buckle frame has a dark green-brown patina. References: Egan and Pritchard (1991) Dress Accessories, pages 76-78, numbers 318-319; and Meols, page 84. Length: 17.9mm; Width: 20mm; Thickness: 4.2mm; Weight: 2.8g

SWYOR-E23FA0: STRAP END
An incomplete cast copper alloy Early Medieval strap end probably dating from about the 11th Century. The strap end is an elongated sub triangle in shape with a defined zoomorphic terminal. This terminal is sub rectangular in profile and depicts the snout and eyes of a creature and a pair of ears laid back on to the creature's body; faint decoration along the body shows an incised border near the edge and possibly more on the body but this is difficult to see due to wear. The strap end has a split-plate on the reverse but this broken and is now incomplete; it would have been secured to the strap by a single rivet at the attachment end which is now missing. The object has a dark green patina. A parallel for this strap end may be seen at PAS record ID: NCL-BD5744. Length: 26.4mm; Width: 9.1mm; Thickness: 6.2mm; Weight: 3.89g

DUR-E25944: BEAD
A blue glass bead that is either Roman or Anglo Saxon in date. The bead is circular in plan with a central cylindrical perforation. The bead is in good condition apart from general wear and tear. It weighs 0.7g and measures 9.18mm in diameter and 6.60mm in height. The tentative date for the object is because blue glass beads of this type are found in both Roman and Anglo Saxon contexts.

DUR-E2A3B4: MOUNT
A copper alloy mount of probable Post Medieval date. The mount is is circular in plan with raised decoration on one side. The decoration is of a figure left, possibly a soldier, holding a onto two dogs or similar animals. The other side of the object is flat and undecorated. The object was probably used to mount an object such as a walking stick or a household fixture. The object is brown in colour and is in good condition. It weighs 1.9g and measures 15.04mm in diameter and 2.60mm in thickness.

DUR-E2E126: SPOON
A copper alloy spoon dating to the Roman period. The object consists of an oval bowl attached to a narrowed shank that terminates with a rectangular protrusion. The bowl and part of the shank are hollow on one side. The object is undecorated and green in colour. It weighs 5.6g and measures 41.41mm in length, 17.81mm in width and 3.07mm in thickness. The spoon is similar to one from the Colchester excavations of Mandolin shaped type, see Crummy, N. (1983) The Colchester Report 2, The Small Finds, Colchester: Archaeological Trust: 69f, no. 2019.

NCL-E33686: COIN
Silver Rosette-Mascle penny of Henry VI (1427-43). Cross type V, North No. 1450.

SUR-E35947: HARNESS PENDANT
A cast copper alloy circular medieval harness pendant with areas of gilding and silver plating. Centrally the pendant displays a standing bird facing left, wings partly outstretched and looking over his back. The bird has been plated with a thin sheet of silver (only part of which survives) and which is itself engraved with details of the bird. The outer frame is gilded and there is an outer border of raised pellets. The pendant probably dates from the 12th century. Later on pendants became more mass produced and decoration was largely in enamel.

NCL-E365E6: COIN
Silver threepence of Elizabeth I. (1578-1580)

SUR-E39174: BUCKLE
A cast copper alloy buckle fragment, probably of medieval date and perhaps an import. The plate is in poor condition and appears to have three lobed terminals, each perforated with a rivet hole; one rivet survives. Part of the upper part of the plate is missing and the missing area is bordered by two or more transverse ribbons of cast pellets. The pin survives but only the bar of the frame. Between the two leaves of the folded plate is a tiny fragment of twisted silver wire; additional fragments of such wire are loose. The wire was probably threaded into the missing textile; this is highly unusual.

NCL-E396B6: COIN
A cut quarter of a possible short cross or voided cross penny.

DUR-E39955: SWORD
A cast copper alloy sword pommel of probable Medieval date. The pommel is 'melon' shaped, circular in plan and oval in section. There are rectangular perforations at both the top and the bottom of the object for the tang to pass through. One of these perforations has been made larger by a break in the object. The metal is green in colour and it largely well preserved. It weighs 16.8g and measures 19.69mm in height and 23.84mm in diameter.

NCL-E3AF04: COIN
Cut half of a short cross penny of Henry III, 1222-1256. Possibly class 7B.

HESH-E3D464: BUCKLE
An incomplete fragment of cast copper alloy buckle frame of later post medieval date 1600 - 1750 AD. The fragment comprises a single corner from a rectangular shaped frame of unknown design and size it is most likely to be either a rectangular double looped buckle with an integral cast axis bar (1600 - 1680) or a rectangular buckle with a drilled frame (1680-1750). The later is the preferred interpretation / identification. The fragment is irregular in plan being broadly L shaped. In cross section it is lentoid. The upper surface of the frame is decorated with a series of scroll like patterns with a debased flower in the corner of the frame and a heart shaped boss at the mid point. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The upper surface may have a decayed applied tinned surface although this is difficult to be sure of. It is a mid grey green colour with a well preserved slightly polished patina; the breaks are old and worn suggesting damage in antiquity. Similar frames can be seen in Ross Whitehead's book 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', pages .... The buckle measures; 30.3mm length, is 17.0mm wide (frame is 5.9mm wide) and is 3.2mm thick; it weighs 2.8 grams.

NCL-E3D545: COIN WEIGHT
Post-medieval copper-alloy coin weight depicting a laureate bust left, possibly that of Charles I or James I on the obverse. The reverse is decorated but corrosion obscures the detail, possibly a triple thistle with initials below, which might suggest a Scottish origin. Pre-1632 in date.

SUR-E3DBC5: MOUNT
A cast copper alloy mount of uncertain but possibly 11th or 12th century date. The mount is crescentic and has a rivet hole at each end and a projecting lobe on the centre of the outer edge. The symmetrical decoration is cast and comprises plain fields divided by deep grooves; some fields contain pits.

NCL-E42BB5: SPINDLE WHORL
Cast lead-alloy spindle whorl of late Medieval date. The spindle whorl is biconical with a perforation through the centre. There is incised decoration on both faces, but the details are obscured by corrosion and wear.

NCL-E440D4: HARNESS PENDANT
A cast copper-alloy heraldric harness pendant of Medieval date. The pendant is shield-shape with an incomplete suspension loop at the top of a shank emerging out of the centre of the upper edge. The surface of the pendant is decorated with a coat of arms, of which three enamelled cells are situated above and below a broad horizontal band with a vertical band separating each of the cells. The colour of the enemell is uncertain, but is probably white or yellow. The copper-alloy is very corroded and worn.

DEV-E45FA6: COIN
Roman copper alloy coin. The coin is a sestertius of first or second century date.

NMS-E47513: COIN
Incomplete Medieval silver long cross penny of Edward I. London Mint, probably class 3 or 8. 1280-1299 AD.

NCL-E47795: COIN

A parallel for this coin may be found at PAS record ID: DENO-9925B6. Thickness: 2.2mm; Diameter: 21.7mm; Weight: 4.51g

BERK-0DAEA3: TWEEZERS
A pair of complete but bent copper alloy tweezers probably dating to the medieval period. The tweezers are undecorated and the loop at the top is quite large which suggests that they may have been part of a toiletries set. Probably c. AD 1200-1500 however it is hard to say with any certainty what period these tweezers might date to.

SUR-E49EE8: PILGRIM BADGE
A small incomplete pilgrim badge in the form of the mitred head of Thomas Becket. The Mitre is decorated with groups of pellets. Little of the collar survives. On the hollow back is an integral projection for attachment.

Medieval silver penny of Edward III, Fourth coinage (1351-77), London.

SWYOR-E4CB81: COIN
A Roman coin: a nummus probably of Constans (AD 330-350). Probably Reece period 18 (AD 348-364). This coin is worn; the reverse and both legends are difficult to determine accurately but is probably FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Emperor on galley holding a phoenix/Victory reverse type (AD 348-350); mint uncertain. Thickness: 2.5mm; Diameter: 21.1mm; Weight: 4.93g

SUR-E536A3: BROOCH
A fragment from an early medieval brooch of 5th or 6th century date, probably a fragment of a wide equal-armed brooch. The remains of the wide, apparently triangular, plate are decorated with a single ring and dot motif. The bow is grooved and has a collar. The remains of a catchplate survive on the back of the plate. Compare an equal arm brooch from Mucking (Essex), grave 938, dating from c. AD450-525.

SUR-E553B6: HOOKED TAG
A complete cast copper alloy hooked tag of 16th century date. The tag is openwork and has a central lozenge. It can be compared with Read no.402-4.

DUR-A21986: COIN
A contemporary copy of a copper alloy radiate, AD 275-285, possibly copying Tetricus I, it is unclear what the reverse is copying.

SUR-E57191: HARNESS PENDANT
A complete cast copper alloy lozengiform harness pendant, now in poor condition. The pendant is divided into four lozenges each of which contains a quatrefoil of lozenge-shaped leaves (not certainly joined) with a pellet in each foil. Red enamel survives in one quatrefoil.

BERK-E5E655: MOUNT
A cast copper alloy Early-medieval knife terminal or fitting. See record: NMS-6B81F1: Copper-alloy mount, probably from the handle of a knife or sword. It is flat-ended and cylindrical, with four deep cut-outs with intervening points at the other end. Two points are distorted (bent out of shape). The sides, but not the unperforated flat end, are decorated with engraved lines forming rather crude arches which do not quite mirror the arched cut-outs. A transverse hole is filled with the remains of an iron pin; this cannot be seen on the photograph, but is just visible on the drawing, on the second view from the left. It passes through the object at the level of the top of the arched cut-outs and appears to respect the engraved decoration. Length 25.5mm. External diameter 15mm. Internal diameter 10.5mm. Perhaps 11th or 12th century. Compare four other examples on the PAS database: LEIC-F826C5, NARC-6D8F97, NMS-819015 (from Great Dunham, Norfolk) and HESH-4B4686. There is also a pair of more distant parallels on a sword from Lough Derg, Co. Tipperary, now in the National Museum of Ireland (acc. no. 1988:226; Ó Floinn in Roesdahl and Wilson 1992, 340-1, cat. no. 431; Peirce 2002, 140-1). Here the sword grip is reinforced at both ends by deeply scalloped grip-sleeves which, although decorated with silver and niello interlace in late 11th-century Irish style, are very close in shape to these English mounts. The closed end on the Great Dunham example suggests that it may have come from a knife (with no pommel) rather than a sword; alternatively, it might be a ferrule or staff terminal. Jason Gibbons, the illustrator of NMS-6B81F1, comments that there is a published example from Huntingdon, identified as a chess piece; Proc Cambs Antiq Soc vol 89 (2000), 95.

CORN-E758B5: MOUNT
Cast copper alloy sword belt bar mount with a suspension loop and three flat square segments, each having cross hatching on the upper face, on either side of recessed sections with central flattened ribs that are semi-circular in section. One of the square segments has an exant copper alloy rivet with a round head still in its central rivet hole. Just beyond it, at this end, there is a curved hook or suspension loop with a flat square terminal, which would have been suspended from a similar mount with an aperture, such as ESS-99A0D6. At the opposite end, there is a splayed moulding like the zoomorphic mouths seen on purse bars and pendent frames, opening to a circular terminal with a corroded rivet hole and an extended oblong knop. Some gilding remains which has joined the corrosion product to form a light brown layer across much of the surface. Read (2001) illustrates casket mounts with similar mouldings and decoration, and hooked mounts with separate rivets on pages 23-24, Figs.12-13, Nos.165-170, which are dated from c.1230-1260. Bailey (2008) illustrates a similar belt decoration or stiffener with three squares of cross hatching between two perforated knops on page 47, Fig.C11.51, which is dated from the 13th to the 14th century. Bailey (2011) illustrates a similar belt chape with three square segments with cross hatching and a knopped terminal at one end with a rivet hole and an extant rivet at the opposite end, on page 95, Fig.66, which is dated to the Medieval period.

WMID-0B84A7: SPUR
An incomplete cast copper alloy rowel spur of probable medieval to early post medieval date, 1300 - 1600 AD. Only part of the side (arm) and one spur attachments are present. It measures 54.1mm in length, 13.3mm in width, 9.55mm thick and weighs 10.2 grams. The spur arm is sub rectangular in plan and D shaped in section. It has broken across the width of the arm. The terminal is a figure of eight shape in plan, with two cast holes aligned vertically. One cast copper alloy two-part spur attachments are present, fastened by a hook to a hole in the spur arm terminal. It is sub-triangular in plan. The hook is formed by the end of the attachment being looped through the hole of the terminal and back over upon itself. At the opposite end is the terminal to fasten the attachment to a leather strap. This fastener is formed from a rivet with a wide sub oval (tear or egg shaped) head and a long shank. Traces of tinning are present on the upper surfaces of the spur attachments. The spur is a mid - dark green colour with patches of light brown and it has an even patina that covers most surfaces of the spur. Several areas of the spur have been abraded in the plough soil. The break in the side of the spur, described above, is relatively recent and is likely to be a direct result of movement in the plough soil. There are no active areas of corrosion present. Several similar examples have been published on the PAS database, including WAW-531C21 from Shropshire and have been dated to the Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval Period (c. 1400 to c. 1650 AD).

KENT-0B9548: COIN HOARD
698 Base metal Roman Coins Found at Canterbury Whitefriars, Kent (BM ref.: 2006 T416) Report to H M Coroner This report will consider these coins with respect to the criteria laid down in the Treasure act (1996): Namely, their age, precious metal content and whether the coins can be said to come from the same find. Circumstances of Find Found in the course of archaeological excavation at Whitefriars in Canterbury. An archaeological report has been produced (CW46 Stratigraphic Report) by Canterbury Archaeological Trust Ltd. (Written by Alison Hicks, Mark Houliston, Rebecca Newhook and Tracey Smith). Description of Find The coins are predominantly (nearly 70%) Theodosian bronze coins of AD 388-402. (Burial and abandonment must have occurred either during this latter period or at some point afterwards). Some earlier coins dating back to the late 3rd century were present, and even a couple of earlier items, a feature known from coin hoards of this period found in Britain. Identification Quantity 1st to 3rd century 2 Late 3rd century (incl. copies) 23 Constantinian (330-64) (incl. copies) 63 Valentinianic (364-83) 32 Magnus Maximus (383-8) 9 Theodosian - VICTORIA AVGGG (c 388-95) 307 Theodosian - SALVS REIPVBLICAE (c 388-402) 126 Theodosian - Others (c 388-402) incl. GLORIA REIP and SECVRITAS REIPVBLICE types 3 Theodosian - illegible 36 Illegible 97 Total 698 Over a hundred hoards of Theodosian coins have been recovered from Britain, and they form the latest group of Roman coin hoards known from the island. Such hoards are predominantly concentrated in eastern and south-eastern England, and have been suggested by some scholars to reflect the insecurity of life at the end of Roman Britain. Metal Content The coins are all essentially copper alloy (no more than c.1-5% silver). Conclusion On the balance of probabilities, therefore, I conclude that these coins belong together as a hoard and constitute a prima facie case of treasure by being bronze coins of an antiquity greater than 300 years and are of one find of more than ten pieces.

HESH-0BBFE8: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy single looped buckle of medieval date (1250-1400). The frame of the buckle is incomplete; it is irregular in plan and sub-rectangular in cross section. The buckle frame is broken; the off-set strap bar and pin are missing. The frame itself is relatively narrow, and expands at the centre to form a sub-triangular swollen projection that may have acted as a pin rest. The upper and lower edges of the buckle frame are decorated with a series of cast transverse ribs or swellings; the triangular projection is also decorated with a series of heavily abraded patterns, possibly a saltire cross with crosslet terminals. The reverse of the buckle frame is undecorated although again heavily abraded. It seems probable that both the front and reverse of the buckle had an applied surface; this has decayed to a dark grey black colour. Where this surface has been lost through abrasion a light green coloured dusty patina has developed. The broken edges present on the frame have been worn and therefore suggest a relatively old damage. Similar examples to this buckle can be seen in Ross Whitehead's book 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', pages 24-25, ref: 106-114 (specifically 106-107, 109 and 113-114) Whitehead suggests that these buckles date from the 13th and 14th centuries. The frame measures 28.9mm length, 32.0mm wide, is 4.4mm thick and weighs 6.53 grams.

DUR-0BFC74: BROOCH
A copper alloy Trumpet brooch dating to the 1st-2nd centuries of the Roman period. The brooch is incomplete, missing the pin and it has been broken near the bottom of the bow so that the catchplate is also missing. It therefore, consists of a circular head (9.79mm in diameter) with a semi circular loop attached to the back and a curved bow with moulded decoration about halfway down. There is no other decoration remaining on the object. It is green in colour and weighs 3.8g, measuring 37.63mm in length and 4.39mm in thickness. A parallel can be found in Hattatt, R. (2007) A catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches, Oxford: Oxbow: 329, fig. 87: no. 437.

HESH-0C1657: BUCKLE
A cast copper alloy oval shaped buckle frame of post-medieval date (1660-1720). The frame of the buckle is oval in plan with two central drilled holes to which an iron spindle / axis bar (now lost) would have fixed. The pin / chape which would have fitted to this bar is also missing. The frame is iron stained at the midpoint. In profile the frame is slightly bowed. There is no evidence for a pin rest on the frame and there is no decoration on the frame either. The buckle is mid dark grey / green colour. Similar examples to this buckle can be seen in Ross Whitehead's book 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', page 97, specifically examples 600 - 601. Whitehead suggests that these date from the post medieval period (1660-1720) and were used as shoe or knee buckles. The buckle frame measures 30.5mm long, 22.9mm wide, is 4.4mm thick and weighs 4.85 grams.

DUR-0C2897: BROOCH
A copper alloy Trumpet brooch dating to the 1st-2nd centuries of the Roman period. The brooch is incomplete, missing the pin, part of the head and most of the bow. It therefore, consists of a circular head (12.79mm in diameter) and a curved bow. There is no decoration remaining on the object. It is green in brown in colour and weighs 2.0g, measuring 21.03mm in length and 3.29mm in thickness. A parallel can be found in Hattatt, R. (2007) A catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches, Oxford: Oxbow: 329, fig. 87.

LEIC-0C4306: BROOCH
Roman copper alloy knee brooch fragment, 23mm long, 17mm wide and 7mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 7.05grams. The fragment consists of the spring, casing and upper bow of a probable wing and fanbow type brooch. It has a spring of eight coils sitting in a rectangular frame which sits on top of a trapezoidal shaped, curving plate. Possible Knee Brooch.

DUR-0C5578: BROOCH
A copper alloy brooch dating to the Roman period. The brooch is incomplete and very worn consisting only of a fragment of the curved bow. It is decorated with a moulded panel flanked by sets of three parallel lines. It weighs 5.5g and measures 26.22mm in length, 8.94mm at its widest point and 5.37mm in thickness. The brooch is possibly an example of a Roman trumpet brooch, parallels of which can be found in Hattatt, R. (2007) A catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches, Oxford: Oxbow: 329, fig. 87.

LEIC-0D3278: BROOCH
Roman copper alloy Headstud brooch, 50mm long, 19mm wide and 17mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 17.08grams. The brooch is complete except for part of the catch plate. It has a coiled spring and intact pin, which sits on open slightly stepped wings. Its bow is sub rectangular in section and below its raised circular 'head stud' it has a recessed band running its length which is partially filled with an off white material, probably enamel. It has a slightly stepped foot and a large partially intact catch plate which is over half the length of the bow.

A copper alloy Roman nummus possibly of the House of Constantine c. AD 307-361.

LEIC-0DB2D5: HARNESS MOUNT
Iron age copper alloy harness mount, 32mm long, 28mm wide and 6mm thick. The object is in good condition and weighs 17.42grams. The object is sub rectangular in form and section. It consists of a central raised circular boss with a raised rounded border, resembling a petal boss without the point. This sits on a rectangular base and in each corner there is a semi-circular 'plate' like protrusion, each is set end-on when viewed from above and on the same alignment, so two sit parallel to the rounded border and two cut through it. The reverse of the object is flat and contains two sub rectangular scars, probably the attachment points for a bar fitting.

BERK-0F0995: COIN
A copper alloy Roman nummus fragment, 4th to early 5th Century AD. Mainly illegible.

NARC-0F3692: MOUNT
A complete cast copper alloy casket mount in the form of a lions head. Some gilding remains on the front and reverse. The reverse has a central depression and the scars of two rovets, square in section, situated at 12 and 6 oclock positions. Mounts of this type were common in the Roman period as casket or vessel mounts. However, they reappear during the Georgian period and indications are that this is a Georgian mount rather than Roman. The patina of the copper alloy suggest a more recent date, as does the expression of the lion's face, which is more fierce than is typical of the roman examples.

BERK-0FA703: COIN
A silver Early Medieval Sceatta, possibly a Series N type with two figures standing on obverse and monster / dragon biting it's own tail on reverse. c. AD 710-750.

WMID-0FCE76: TOKEN
A complete cast lead or lead alloy unifaced token of probable Post Medieval dating (1600 to 1700 AD). The token is broadly circular in plan. The upper face (obverse) exhibits a saltire cross design (powell type 14), and the lower face (reverse) is plain. The token is a dark grey colour, with an even surface patina. It demonstrates a small degree of abrasion, caused by movement whilst within in the plough soil. The token measures 12.6mm in diameter and is 4.42mm thick. It weighs 4.0 grams.

BERK-0FDCF3: TAG
A copper alloy Post Medieval hooked tag consisting of a circular plate with elongated "D" section hook and trapizoidal loop. The tip is broken. The circular plate appears to have a design, possibly a rose, but it is now indistinct. Circa AD 1550 - 1625.

BERK-0FF9D4: MUSKET BALL
A lead musket ball, Post Medieval in date.

BERK-100CC1: MUSKET BALL
A Post Medieval lead musket ball showing the casting seam still in place.

BERK-1026D2: TOKEN
A late medieval to post medieval lead token, pierced slightly off-centre with a radiating pattern on one side and an indistinct grid-like pattern on the other. This type of token dates from c. AD 1400-1800, although it is likely to be post AD 1500 in date.

WMID-106295: STRAP FITTING
A complete cast copper alloy zoomorphic belt hook, of Post Medieval dating (1500 to 1700 AD). The belt hook is S shaped with an oval cross section. A zoomorphic or animal head terminal is present at either end, with a slit mouth, curling snout and ears. At the centre of the S is a 'waisted' area of four knops. The belt hook is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. It has suffered from a degree of abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil. This abrasion has resulted in a loss of some surface detail. The belt hook measures 28.77mm in length, 11.78mm wide and 3.4mm thick. It weighs 3.1 grams. The belt hook is stylistically similar to a dragon or a sea creature as opposed to the more common snake design. The earliest snake-form fasteners appear on portraits of the early post-Medieval period, often in association with sword-belts. Bailey (1997, 20) states that the 'snake form belt hooks' became popular during the 16th century, where an example can be seen in the portrait of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, c. 1575. The fastener was part of a sword belt, and was used in place of the normal buckle. It is likely that these strap fittings would have been tinned or gilded. The snake belt hook would seem to have fallen from fashion by the 17th century, and remained so until the end of the 18th century, when it was favoured by the military. It is highly improbable that it is a dragonesque plate brooch of Roman dating, due to it not being a plate brooch or due to the absence of enameled decoration. Read has published a similar belt fitting as #822 (Read, 2008, 230) which he has dated to c. mid 16th to c. early 17th Century, possibly from a sword belt. However the style is a relatively long lived one, persisting into the 20th Century. Several similar belt fittings have been recorded on the PAS database, all of Early Post Medieval dating (1500 to 1700 AD): WMID-F55797 from Derbyshire; DENO-EEBBD4 from Lincolnshire; SWYOR-D7BF04 from North Lincolnshire; SWYOR-EC2FB8 from North Yorkshire; WMID-11DAC3 from Warwickshire and WILT-A862F5 & WILT-468492 from Wiltshire.

HAMP-4A7271: COIN
A very worn and corroded, irregular 3rd-century copper-alloy Roman radiate copying uncertain ruler, standing figure reverse, uncertain mint (c. 275 - c. 285 AD; Reece issue period 14). This coin has been struck on an irregularly shaped, squarish flan, possibly from melted down early imperial coinage.

SUSS-49FD66: COIN
An incomplete silver siliqua of the Houses of Valentinian or Theodosius, dating to the period AD 364 - 388 (Reece periods 19 or 20). VIRTVS ROMANORVM reverse depicting Roma seated left on throne, holding Victory-on-globe and spear. Mint of Trier.

An extremely worn and corroded, irregular 3rd-century copper-alloy Roman radiate copying Tetricus II, standing figure reverse, uncertain mint (c. 275 - c. 285 AD; Reece issue period 14). This coin has suffered some losses to its circumference.

SUSS-4A4358: COIN
A very worn and incomplete Medieval silver halfpenny, possibly of Henry IV (1399-1413 AD). Due to the poor condition of this coin and heavy clipping, a full identification is difficult to determine. Obverse: Crowned ruler facing Obverse legend: [HENRIC REX] ANGLIE Reverse: Long cross pattee with three pellets in each quadrant Reverse legend: CIVI[TAS] [LON]DON Although a portion of the legend is missing which corresponds to the name of the ruler, the closed 'E' in 'ANGLIE' and the style of legend and circular punch on the bust's neck supports this suggested identification. The bust of the ruler on the obverse has a very narrow face and a right eye which seems to be lower than the left; these attributes are listed in association to Henry IV heavy coinage Type 4 in Withers 2003, Halfpennies and Farthings. Henry IV, V and VI, p21.

SUSS-4A5F84: COIN
An incomplete silver groat of Edward III (1327-1377 AD). Mint is London. Initial cross: Cross 1. Fourth Coinage, Pre-Treaty Period, Series B (1351-1361 AD). The area corresponding on the obverse to the ruler's name has been clipped neatly, until the 'R' of REX. Cf. North 1991, Vol 2, No. 1142. Obverse: Crowned ruler facing. Obverse legend: [ED]W[ARD] [DG] [R]EX ANGL [Z] [FRANC] [D] HYB] Reverse: Long cross pattee with three pellets in each quadrant Reverse legend: POS[VI DEVM ADIVTOREM MEVM]//CIVITAS LONDON

SUSS-4A7598: COIN
An incomplete silver halfpenny of Henry VI, First Reign (1422-1461 AD). Rosette-mascle issue (mascle in obverse legend; rosette in reverse legend). Cf. North 1991 Vol 2, No. 1453. Obverse: Crowned ruler facing Obverse legend: [hE]NRIC(rosette)REX(mascle)A[NG(L?)] Reverse: Long cross pattee with three pellets in each quadrant Reverse legend: CIVI[TAS] [LON]DON

SUSS-4A8B72: SPOON
A worn and corroded fragment of a Post Medieval cast copper alloy seal-top spoon. The remnant consists of the top segment of the spoon which terminates in an expanded circular flat disc that tapers underneath to a series of two sub-circular collars of varying diameter, followed by a plain bead, a triple-collared bead, another plain bead of sub-ovoid section, another triple-collared bead and various circular collars tapering into a plain shaft which has broken off and is bent. The spoon stem measures 39.32 mm long, 8.84 mm thick (maximum), 3.99 mm diameter (at seal-top) and weighs 3.19 grams. The spoon would date from circa 1500-1700 AD. However, since the spoon is copper alloy rather than pewter it more probably dates to the upper end of this date range (see Egan; Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition; 2005; p117). For a similar example on the PAS database, cf. SUSS-7F9401.

HAMP-4ABAE1: COIN
An extremely worn and corroded, irregular copper-alloy Roman minim either copying a 3rd-century radiate or 4th-century nummus of uncertain ruler, reverse and mint (c. 275 - c. 402 AD)

SUSS-4ABC73: JETTON
An extremely worn copper alloy Nuremburg 'Rose and Orb' type jetton of Hanns Krauwinckel II (1586-1635 AD). The obverse legend reads: HANNS.KRAVWINCKE[L] [IN NVR] with three crowns alternating with three lis surrounding a central rose. The reverse legend is unclear due to severe surface wearing; however traces remain reading: '[R...AN...RN]'. The centre of the reverse depicts an imperial orb surmounted by a cross pattee within a tressure of three arches and three angles. It measures 23.4 mm in diameter, 1.12 mm thick and weighs 0.7 grams.

HAMP-4AD247: COIN
An extremely worn and corroded, irregular copper-alloy Roman minim either copying a 3rd-century radiate or 4th-century nummus of uncertain ruler, reverse and mint (c. 275 - c. 402 AD). This coin has received a small loss at its circumference.

HAMP-4B28F2: COIN
A worn 1st-century silver Roman denarius of Vespasian, 'TRI/POT' (Vesta), Rome mint (70-72 AD; Reece issue period 4; R.I.C. 37). Small patches of green corrosion product on both surfaces of the coin would seem to be accretions.

HAMP-4B5CC2: STRAP END
A slightly corroded early-medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end of Thomas Class B, Type 1. A broadly 9th-century date can be suggested for this artefact (Thomas 2003, 4). The flat strap-end is bent downwards, and very slightly abraded at the attachment end but otherwise survives complete. As is common, the attachment end is wedge-shaped (W.: 8.7mm). The split terminal is cusped with a perforation in each rounded corner. The field below is defined by incised longitudinal borders with small nicks to the sides. There are possible diagonal incisions within the field but these are unclear. A narrowed mid-section (W.: c. 6.55mm) is delineated between the field and the terminal by a pair of transverse incisions at its junction with these two elements. It seems to be plain. The terminal is in the usual form of a moulded animal head (L.: c. 10.4mm, max. W.: 6.45mm). The snout is subtly moulded; the ears are rendered by pairs of diagonal incisions at the sides below the transverse lines. There is a further pair of diagonals above the uppermost pair of incised transverse lines. The artefact now has a dark-green patina with some patches of lighter corrosion product in places.

NARC-4BB405: COIN
Silver hammered Medieval penny. Illegible.

SUSS-4BBC26: JETTON
A very worn and extremely corroded copper-alloy late Tournai French Jetton of late Medieval date, c. 15th-early 16th century AD. The obverse depicts three circles arranged in a triangle each enclosing an uncertain shape, within a large granulated inner circle; the reverse is indiscernible. According to Finds Liaison Officer and jetton specialist Robert Webley, there are two main, successive groups of 'Three circles' in Mitchiner, dated to 1461-1497 and 1497-1521 respectively. The legends are difficult because the letter 'M' is rendered with upright strokes - ie. 'III'. Some (Ibid, p211) bear the legend 'O IIIATER DEI IIIEIIIENTO IIIEI' ('o mater dei memento mei'), which seems to fit with the remnants on the legend in this case. Similar late Tournai jettons found in Salisbury tend to be from the last quarter of the 15th century (pers. comm. 6.6.12).

SUSS-4BD312: COIN
An extremely worn copper alloy Post Medieval farthing of Charles II (1660-1685 AD). The date on the reverse of the coin is illegible due to wear. It is possible to see traces of his laureate bust facing left; the obverse legend reads: CARO[LVS] [A] CARO[L]O. On the reverse, traces of a seated Britannia remain; the legend is missing due to wear. Cf. Spink 2001 (36th ed.), p311, No. 3394.

NARC-4BDD07: COIN
Silver hammered penny of Edward I or II. Class 10 - 11. Double struck reverse.

SUSS-4BEC54: POWDER MEASURE
A corroded and slightly misshapen lead-alloy Post Medieval powder flask cap, used for measuring a charge of gunpowder, of seventeenth century date (AD 1600 - AD 1700). The flask cap is missing one loop but is otherwise complete. The cap is oval in plan view with sides that flare outwards from the closed end (20.9mm x 17.8mm) towards the open end (23.7mm x 21.9mm). On the closed cap end are a series of circular indentations that seem purposeful in their creation and might form a letter or identifying mark. To one side of the closed end is an integral loop that projects upwards from the body; the other is missing. This artefact has a mid-grey colour overall. Similar examples are illustrated in Courtney (1988: 2).

Silver hammered penny of Edward III. Clipped and worn.

NARC-4C2D12: COIN

NARC-4C65D4: COIN
Silver hammered penny of Edwardian date. Undefinable detail. York mint.

HAMP-4C6C16: BROOCH
A cast copper-alloy annular brooch of medieval date (c. 14th century AD). The flat frame has a circular opening. An external notch provided the pin constriction. A thick wire pin survives in situ; there is no pin rest (groove). It has a semicircular cross-section with a flat lower surface and tapers to a sharp point. The frame is decorated on its upper surface with a single row of pellets set within a sunken field, probably tooled. The frame is bevelled internally on both surfaces. The circumference is covered in diagonal file marks. The metal has corroded to a dark-grey colour, with some off-white corrosion product. This brooch can be compared with an example from Meols (Griffiths et al. 2007, 143; ref. 1700), itself compared with one illustrated in Hattatt (2000, 383; ref. 1713). Similar decorative treatment can be seen on brooches of other form recorded on this database, for example lozengiform (cf. HAMP-E6AAF6) and hexagonal (HAMP-1F68F2); these also have an external notch.

SUSS-4C8657: DAGGER
A complete cast copper alloy ovoid object, probably a pommel from a knife or dagger. The object is hollow, oval in plan, ovoid in shape and has been cast from two symmetrical pieces, one containing a sub-oval hole with a notch or break (9.67 mm x 11.24 mm) and the other a circular hole (9.08 mm diameter) at the centre. This example dates to either the Medieval period, when similar spherical pommels were common, or perhaps the Post Medieval period because of its two-part rather than solid construction. It measures 35.83 mm long, 28.72 mm wide, 17.09 mm thick and weighs 16.98 grams. Other similar spherical objects have been recorded as pommels from swords and daggers. Cf. the related PAS database examples: IOW-2FE5A7, SF-C87850, NCL-1C8472 and WMID-F5E1C3. Some of these examples extend the date of use for these particular pommels from 1100-1500 AD. Also cf. "London Museum Medieval Catalogue", Ward Perkins (1940: pp. 21-38) where similar spherical pommels (Type VI), are identified as in use in the 12th century and surviving into the 14th century. A similar example in this ovoid form has not been found on the PAS database, nor in Ward Perkins (1940).

NARC-4C8E52: COIN
Silver hammered Florin penny of Edward III. Reference: North 1116.

HAMP-4C9391: COIN
A very worn and corroded 4th-century copper-alloy Roman nummus of Valens, 'SECVRITAS REI PVBLICAE', possibly Arles mint (364-378 AD; Reece issue period 19). This coin has received some minor circumferential abrasions.

NARC-4CAA36: COIN
Silver hammered penny of Edward IV. Durham mint. Blundered legend indicates a probable local die.

SUSS-4CB7F7: WEIGHT
A complete cast flat weight, with moulded floral design, probably dating to the Post Medieval period (c. 1500-1800 AD). The weight is large, measuring 46.46 mm in diameter, 16.27 mm thick and weighing 260 grams. It is light grey in colour with a circular hole or shaft possibly running through the flat base. The upper surface of the weight is slightly rounded with a raised centre and surrounding moulded repeating floral decoration. No identifying stamps or further decoration is visible. Although bun-shaped weights have been used since the prehistoric period, flat weights of this weight and decoration seem to have been used to weigh specific things during later periods, such as Bullion. The repeating floral motif around the perimeter of the outer surface of the weight is similar to other objects from the Post Medieval period. For another example of a flat weight with a bordered design, see Biggs and Withers 2000, p23.

NARC-4CD7D1: COIN
Silver hammered penny of Edward I or II. Canterbury mint. Cut -half penny.

SUSS-4CE9F6: FINGER RING
An incompletecopper-alloy signet finger ring, dating from the Late Medieval period. The flat bezel bears a crudely incised letter of indeterminate form; this is surrounded by a sub-oval line border. The bezel extens smoothly into the shoulders, which taper into the remaining portion (approximately half) of the D-sectioned hoop. The metal of the ring is of an even dark green patina. The ring measures 21.7 in approximate diameter, with a 13.42 mm width bezel and a 9.9 mm x 8.16 mm oval decoration; the hoop is 2.49 mm thick and the ring weighs 3.15 grams.

HAMP-4CF7D5: COIN
An extremely worn and corroded 1st-century copper-alloy Roman probable as of probable Flavian ruler, standing figure reverse, uncertain mint (c. 69 - c. 96 AD; probably Reece issue period 4)

NARC-4D03F5: COIN
Silver hammered penny of Edward I, possibly Class 3c. Bristol mint.

SUSS-4D0D34: COIN
A nearly complete silver penny of Elizabeth I (1558-1603 AD). First Issue, dating to 1558-1561 AD. Mintmark: Martlet. Without rose or date. The obverse depicts a crowned bust facing left; the legend reads: E.D.G. ROSA SINE SPINA. The reverse depicts a long cross fourchee over a square-topped royal shield; the legend reads: CIVITAS LONDON. Cf. North 1991, Vol II, No. 1988.

SUSS-4D2BE5: COIN
A complete continental sterling imitation of a Medieval long cross penny, issued by William of Hainaut, Bishop of Cambrai (1285-1296 AD). Mint: Cambrai; double-pellet stops. This sterling coin is from the latter half of his episcopate, dating to c. 1290-96. The obverse depicts a bust facing front with rose wreath instead of crown; the obverse legend reads: + GVILLS:EPISCOPVS. The reverse depicts a long cross pattee with three pellets in each quadrant; the reverse legend reads: CAMERACENSIS. Cf. Mayhew 1983, No. 88.

NARC-4D33C1: COIN
Silver hammered shortcross penny of Henry III, Class 5a2* or 6x. Cut-quarter.

SUSS-4D3B92: COIN
An incomplete nummus, probably of the House of Valentinian, dating to the period AD 364-378 (Reece period 19). Due to old breaks in the coin, important detail is missing.

SUSS-4D54A6: TOKEN
A Post Medieval cast lead-alloy uni-face circular token, dating to c. 1500-1850 AD. The token has raised initials 'WF' on one side. The reverse is plain. The token measures 19.37 mm in diameter, 2.53 mm thick, and weighs 3.3 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely. Those with initials and this type of decoration are generally thought to be Post Medieval in date, c.1500-1850 AD.

NARC-4D5984: COIN
Silver hammered cut-quarter shortcross penny of Henry II or III. Undefinable.

SUSS-4D5FD7: TOKEN
A Post Medieval cast lead-alloy uni-face circular token, c. 1500-1850 AD. The token has raised initials IL on one side. The reverse is plain. The token measures 20.16 mm in diameter,1.76 mm thick, and weighs 3.75 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely. Those with initials and this type of decoration are generally thought to be Post Medieval in date, c.1500-1850 AD.

LON-4D8490: VESSEL
A base fragment of a Roman ceramic mica-dusted ware vessel, probably a small jar. The base is circular (33.9mm diameter) and the remains of the body slightly curve outward to a point 16.7mm above the base, at which point they rapidly expand. There is one continuous but jagged break line, and the rest of the vessel is missing. The fragment measures 31.8mm (heigh) x 56.7mm (width) x 4.6mm (thickness) and weighs 25.69g. This vessel is broadly classed as an 'other Mica-dusted ware (MICA) rather than the London Local Mica-dusted ware (LOMI), however it's exact fabric is uncertain (cf Davis et al 1994, 136-141). MICA wares date to the late first to second century AD.

LIN-4D9051: LAMP HANGER
A cast copper-alloy branched hanger, probably for a hanging lamp. The object has three arms braching from a central stem. Each arm terminates with a circular loop. An additional loop is located in the centre of the underside. Cf. Egan & Pritchard, Dress Accessories, p.131.

LIN-4DB3E3: BROOCH
A cast copper-alloy bow and fantail variant brooch dating to the early Roman period. The wings are narrow, rectangular and have a cylindrical case on the reverse containing the axis bar for a hinged pin. The pin is missing. The brooch is almost flat in profile and though the brooch does not appear to have arched much originally, the next appears to have been squashed flat through damage. The neck is oval in cross-section and leads to a rectangular boss with four rectangular cells and a groove above and below. The cells presumably once contained enamel. The foot is flat, triangular and contains three triangular cells, one of which contains red enamel. A catchplate is located on the reverse.

BERK-4DB4E8: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
A flint scraper made on a natural flake, dating to the later prehistoric period, probably the Bronze Age or later. The scraper has been made on an oval flake of grey-white flint with a brown, iron-stained outer cortex. A spool has popped of from the dorsal surface. These are naturally occuring breaks and can occur because of fragilities in the flint; extreme temperature changes can cause spooling (for example if water infiltrates the rock then swells due to freezing) as can pressure. Minimal retouching around one half of the dorsal lateral suggests this tool was used as a scraper. Interestingly, and incedentally, there is the remains of a fossilised creature imbedded on the dorsal surface of the flint. This appears to be the remains of a sea creature, probably a sponge.

NARC-4DBDF5: COIN
Silver hammered penny of Edward IV (second reign). Durham mint.

LIN-4DDD52: SEAL
A capacity seal made of lead and dating to the post-medieval period. The seal is a flat band of lead that would have originally been attached to the handle of a drinking vessel to mark that it was of official capacity. The seal displays a stamped crown above unclear lettering. The stamp is a kind of capacity mark, to show that the particular stoneware vessel officially held the correct volume of liquid. Usually these marks were stamped integrally into the ceramic before firing (near the rim - ie inevitably close to the handle). They began under William III. The dating is not as simple as it might be at the end of C17/early C18th however, since after a few years of 'AR' stamps under Anne, someone noted that the wording in the Act instituting the stamps required 'WR,' and so they reverted to that for a while. For a similar object see LIN-940385.

NARC-4DE344: COIN
Silver hammered Commonwealth halfgroat. Reference: North 2728

HESH-4E0AA6: BROOCH
A complete cast copper alloy one piece brooch of probable Late Iron Age dating (1st Century BC to 1st Century AD). The brooch is almost complete, just missing a small amount from the base of the catch plate and the pin. It has been case from one piece of metal. The pin is straight with a circular cross section. This then continues straight into the spring, which is formed from three turns or coils, each with a rectangular cross section. This then continues into the bow of the brooch. Located about a third of the way down the bow, a small sub circular swelling or knop is present, with a horizontal recess at the top & a raised collar above the knop. Below this, the bow expands into the assymetrical shoulders, with the max width being 11.76mm. Below this maximum width, the bow gradually tapers down into the foot. A central ridge is present down this central expanded section. The foot consists of a pronounced circular knop. The catch plate extends back vertically, and is sub rectangular in shape. The brooch measures 77.53mm in length, 11.76mm wide and 17.35mm thick. It weighs 10.35 gram s No direct parallel has yet been found for this style of brooch. It is believed to be probably Late Iron Age as it displays similar traits to the La Tene III type and a continental form known as Knotfibeln. However the style of the spring is different to both of these, as it is one sided and the decoration on the bow is different. It is possible that it could be a Continental type of Roman brooch.

SUR-4E70B1: MOUNT
A post medieval cast copper alloy decorative strap mount of arrow form. On the back are two crossing spikes for attachment.

SUSS-4E76E7: COIN WEIGHT
A very worn cast copper alloy hexagonal Medieval or Post Medieval coin weight of probable 15th or 16th century date. This is a small hexagonal weight with very faint markings of a ship on the obverse. The reverse has no extant markings. The coin weight measures 16.06 mm in diameter, 3.3 mm thick and weighs 4.86 grams. Withers (1995, p9) mentions that coin weighs with a hexagonal flan depicting a ship are either Anglo-gallic or French and date from the 15th-16th centuries. Similar ones are either attributed to the Noble or Ryal, with the Ryal example nearly identical to this one (Ibid).

SUR-4E8253: COIN
A sixpence of William III dated 1696.

SUSS-4E87C5: COIN
A copper alloy Roman small radiate or 'minim' coin, probably a 'barbarous' radiate dating from c. 3rd century AD. Much of the coin is unclear due to wear and its diminutive size; however, it is possible to see traces of a radiate bust facing right on the obverse. The reverse is unclear, but seems to depict a large central standing figure holding either a spear or standard in both hands, with an undulating and vertically-positioned element between the figure and the spear/standard. It is possible that this represents the FIDES MILITVM reverse type, with Fides holding two standards. Because of the ambiguity of depictions and lack of legends, it is impossible to positively identify the issuing ruler. Such radiate 'minim' coins were circulated throughout Roman Britain during the later imperial period, particularly in the 3rd century. If this tentative identification is correct, this coin would be attributed to Reece Period 14.

CORN-50D1A7: BROOCH
Incomplete cast copper alloy Aesica-variant brooch, likely another Cornish Type 31 (Bayley, Butcher & Tyacke, 2011), judging from the length of the crossbar, with long narrow wings, and the form of its junction with the bow, at the head where there is a perforation for a stud, and a circular plate bow with a central perforation, again missing its stud. There are two slight projections or knops on either side of the disc plate, which might have held studs, creating a cruciform shape typical of the Cornish Type 31, but the thin and flat plate is not typical of the type. The fantail foot is missing but the break at the foot of the disc is broad and raised so that the rest of the disc is recessed and may have originally held enamel. There is a patch of white material which may be the remains of enamel or tinning, but the surface is pitted and corroded so that any pattern is unclear. The slot for the hinge on the back at the centre of the wings is missing and the hinge, pin and catchplate are also missing. Hattatt (2000) illustrates similar examples of Aesica-variant and disc bow-and-fantail brooches on pages 311 & 315, Figs.170 & 174, Nos.290 & 819, which are dated from the 1st to the 2nd century AD. Tyacke, Bayley & Butcher (2011) illustrate two similar examples of Cornish Type 31 brooches from Ludgvan in Cornwall and Old Man in the Isles of Scilly on pages 144-145, Fig.11.1, Nos.9 & 11, which are dated from the later 1st century AD. These Cornish brooches appear to be related to the Hook Norton (Hull forthcoming) or Aesica variant types (Mackreth, 1982).

SUSS-4F3845: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A copper-alloy fragment of an unidentified and undiagnostic object, probably dating to between the Roman and post-Medieval periods. The fragment is a large flat piece of cast copper alloy which is sub-rectangular in section, with a pierced circular hole near one end. Crudely incised lines decorate one side of the fragment, with two lateral lines, followed by two incomplete, slightly curved, lines, which are in turn followed by three straight horizontal lines below. A further incised line, possibly due to damage, can be seen at the other end. There is no curve to the fragment ,which would indicate that it is not part of a large vessel such as a cauldron. The condition of the metal is mixed, with an overall dull dark green patina covered in smaller areas of lighter green corrosion. All four edges of the fragment seem to be broken, indicating that this was part of a much larger object. It measures 110.02 mm long, 49.72 mm wide, 3.25 mm thick and weighs 79.5 grams.

SUR-4F4FC1: COIN
A sestertius.

SUR-4F5935: COIN
A halfgroat of James 1.

SUSS-4F5E26: BELL
An incomplete cast copper alloy animal rumbler or 'crotal' bell dating to the early Post Medieval period, c. 16th-17th century AD. The bell is spherical in form with a raised circumferential join and an integrally cast sub-rectangular suspension loop with circular hole. Both hemispheres of the bell are decorated: the upper with an overall sunburst pattern and the lower with an elaborate fishscale pattern. This combination of decorative elements seems to have been popular during the 16th to 17th centuries, but rarely found on bells made after the 17th century. The integrally cast suspension loop also supports a pre-17th century date. The bell measures 40.2 mm high, 30.75 mm in diameter with a suspension loop measuring 11.25 mm high and 12.51 mm and weighs 45.39 grams.

SUR-4F6364: COIN
An illegible Roman dupondius or as.

SUR-4F6E94: COIN
A possible Iron Age copper alloy unit, too worn for further identification.

SUSS-4F7E72: BUCKLE
A complete cast copper alloy Medieval annular buckle and pin, c. mid 13th-c. mid 15th centuries AD. The annular buckle frame has two slightly thinner areas opposite from one another that seem to correspond to where the pin and belt would have rubbed. The pin is made of a thick sub-triangular cast piece of tapering metal, with the thicker end loosely curled around the frame and the flat narrow end used for securing the buckle to a belt strap. The pin is decorated on the outer surface of its base with a transverse moulded ridge. There is no further decoration. The buckle frame measures 42.83 mm in diameter, ranging from 3.48 mm to 4.30 mm thick; the pin measures 47.15 mm long, 6.78 mm wide at base, 3.45 mm wide at point and 2.06 mm thick. The whole buckles weighs 14.04 grams. Both Egan and Pritchard (1991, Fig. 11) and Whitehead (2003, 16) date this type of buckle to c. 1250-1450 AD. Cf. Whitehead 2003, No. 35.

An illegible dupondius or as.

SUSS-4F9114: TOKEN
A cast lead alloy Medieval or Post Medieval token, probably uniface, in poor condition, c. 1200-1800 AD. Probably Powell Type 30. The token is flat and generally oval in shape. It seems to have been decorated with only a simplistic raised line running through the centre on one side and perhaps a pellet. The other face has three incised lines on the surface, but this seems to be due to damage, not purposeful decoration. It measures 27.45 mm long, 23.06 mm wide, 3.03 mm thick and weighs 10.73 grams. Lead tokens were locally manufactured and easily distributed; as such, they are difficult to date specifically outside of a secure archaeological context. Tokens with simplistic designs, without initials, are attributed to both the Medieval and Post Medieval periods.

SUSS-4F98F1: TOKEN
A cast lead alloy Post Medieval uniface token, c. 1550-1800 AD. Powell type 2. It is discoidal in shape and grey in colour. The token is decorated with raised initial 'TH' on one side and the other is plain. It measures 19.92 mm in diameter, 2.36 mm thick and weighs 5.5 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely. Those with intials are thought to be Post Medieval in date, c. 1550-1800 AD.

SUR-4FA053: COIN
An illegble Roman dupondius or as.

SUSS-4FA517: VESSEL
A rim fragment from a late Medieval or Post Medieval cast copper alloy vessel, c. 13th-18th centuries AD. The fragment consists of a lightly curved rim and a small amount of the vessel wall, with a high degree of sooting visible on both the interior and exterior surface. It is likely that this fragment would have been part of either a ewer or cauldron; the suggested diameter is 22 cm, which suggests a larger vessel, perhaps a cauldron. The fragment measures 47.78 mm long, 31.85 mm wide, 4.73 mm thick and weighs 22.36 grams. Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1200-1700 for serving and cooking. Butler and Green (2003; 15) state 'there is evidence that (cast copper alloy) metal cooking vessels became increasingly common during the 13th and 14th centuries'. Although earlier copper alloy vessels are known they are rarer and mostly of sheet metal or hammered out (ibid; 7). While certain specialist cast copper alloy vessels such as skillets remained in use later 'bronze caldrons in general seem to have been superseded in the early years of the 18th century when their place was taken by cast-iron vessels which were cheaper to make and more durable to use.' (ibid: 22).

SUR-4FAA97: BELL
A post medieval cast copper alloy spherical animal bell, the centre of which is filled with soil. The bell has a cast X-shaped motif on its lower apex and is decorated with radiating lobes.

SUR-4FB457: COIN

SUR-4FCD13: BUCKLE
A medieval cast copper alloy buckle with a plain rectangular plate. The ornate outer edge of the frame bends markedly upwards. Only the loop of the iron pin remains. Plate length 34.19mm, width 14.41mm, thickness 7.02mm, loop 22.75mm, width 25.34mm.

SUR-4FDEA3: BUCKLE
A medieval cast copper alloy buckle frame with ornate outer edges and a narrow offset bar.

SUR-4FF196: VESSEL
A twisted rod handle from a medieval pottery jug which has a section of 24mm in diameter. The surface is orange and has spots of clear glaze. The core is grey.

CORN-4FF3A0: PALSTAVE
Cast copper alloy palstave or flanged axe blade, trapezoidal in plan, rhomboidal in profile and rectangular in section, at the broken end. The opposite blade end tapers to a rounded and damaged edge in profile. The blade is broad and incurved or inturned, instead of flanged, at the cutting edge and has the remains of what might be the tip of a moulded 'V' or shield at the broken end, but this is made more pronounced by corrosion, and it does not extend any further down the centre of the blade. On the opposite face there is a large cavity near the broken edge which was probably where a large lump of corrosion product has come away from the body of the blade. This makes it difficult to see if there was similar moulding on this face. The entire surface is corroded and pitted so that decorative details are lost. The line of one casting seam is still evident down one side of the blade, but the other side is too corroded to make it out. The edges of the sides of the blade, though worn, are still slightly raised, proud of each of the faces. The palstave is missing the central flanged section with stop-ridge for the haft, any side-loop that might have once been there, and the butt end. The lack of stylistic features make it difficult to date the palstave. Rohl & Needham (1998) illustrate an example of a palstave with a similar shape and slightly flanged blade on page 129, Fig.30, No.145, which is dated to the Taunton phase, c.1400-1275 BC. Pearce (1983) illustrates similar 'Crediton-type' palstaves with inturned blades, straight sides with slight upraising, and V-shaped mouldings, from Perranzabuloe, Truro and Veryan in Cornwall on pages 577, 579-580, Plates 16,18-19, Nos.125, 144a & 147b. The Crediton type palstaves from the South West date from the Acton Park phase of the Middle Bronze Age, c.1500-1400 BC.

SUR-500475: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A heavy cast copper alloy tube-like object, probably of post medieval date, but of uncertain purpose. This object has a square section (29.06mm wide) with a square hole running its length. Both ends have thick square flanges.

SUR-500FA0: COIN
A penny of Henry VI, Rosette/mascle issue, Durham mint.

CORN-546138: AMPULLA
Cast lead pilgrim ampulla or holy water flask with the neck bent forwards and almost folded closed to seal it. The ampulla is bag shaped with protrusions or lugs on either side of the neck which are the remains of the suspension loops, used to suspend the flask from a cord around the pilgrim's neck. It is decorated on one side with moulded ridges radiating from the centre to imitate a scallop shell. Beneath the shell there is a rectangular stand or box with an incised lattice pattern. The back of the ampulla has a circular stamp, following the curvature of the body, with a crescent within it, at the base. The scallop shell was originally the emblem of the apostle St. James the Greater, of Compostela, but soon became a generic symbol of pilgrim saints and pilgrims. These ampullae were bought by pilgrims from pilgrimage sites, and contained thaumaturgic (miracle-working) liquids such as holy water or water from sacred springs. They were popular souvenirs from around 1175 until the early 14th Century, when pilgrim badges became more favoured, but they continued to be made, some smaller to be worn as badges, and some more robust, functional and standardised, like this example, into the 15th century. Spencer (1990) illustrates similar ampullae on pages 87-8, Figs.175 & 179, which are dated, along with the group from Salisbury, from c.1350-1530. He refers to this type of scallop as Type II on page 59, which 'more nearly resembles the common cockle, with fine grooves and smooth edges.'

CORN-555115: AMPULLA
Cast lead pilgrim ampulla or holy water flask, almost rectangular in shape, with a short neck flattened closed to seal it. The ampulla is slightly waisted with angular loops, on either side at this point, to suspend the flask from a cord around the pilgrim's neck. It is decorated on one face with fleur de lis and lattice within a shield, surmounted by a two concentric circles with radiating lines between them. On the opposite face there are four fleurs de lis beneath an arch of lattice work which has triangles and crescents above it, perhaps part of a crown. These ampullae were bought by pilgrims from pilgrimage sites, and contained thaumaturgic (miracle-working) liquids such as holy water or water from sacred springs. They were popular souvenirs from around 1175 until the early 14th Century, when pilgrim badges became more favoured, but they continued to be made, some smaller to be worn as badges, and some more robust, functional and stereotyped, into the 15th century. Spencer (1990) illustrates a similar ampulla with a crown, lis on a hatched background on page 89, Fig.181, which is dated, along with the group from Salisbury, from c.1350-1530.

Medieval? copper alloy key fragment, 69mm long, 26mm wide and 10mm thick. The object is in good condition but is incomplete and weighs 23.06grams. The object consists of a rectangular shaped bow which joins the shaft at one of its points, the other three having sub circular knops (two are now missing). The entire object has a hexagonal section and where the bow joins the shaft there is an elaborate collar. This consists of a rounded upper section which has a rope effect surface sitting on a plain hexagonal sectioned band which terminates with a raised narrow collar. The shaft is broken part way down and is hexagonal in section and hollow.

HESH-5F6FE3: TESSERA
Six (6) sub cuboid white stone probable tesserae. Each tessera consists of a sub cuboid shape, made out of a light grey fine grained limestone type stone. One surface of each tessera appears to be slightly polished which is the result of being walked over. The other surfaces are rough and irregular in shape. The measurements of the tesserae are as follows: 1. 26.53mm in length, 14.60mm wide & 14.95mm thick. It weighs 12.06 grams. 2. 20.96mm in length, 18.25mm wide & 14.89mm thick. It weighs 10.47 grams. 3. 20.39mm in length, 20.66mm wide & 19.56mm thick. It weighs 17.54 grams. 4. 19.35mm in length, 16.97mm wide & 19.06mm thick. It weighs 16.64 grams. 5. 16.86mm in length, 14.62mm wide & 17.29mm thick. It weighs 8.68 grams. 6. 19.45mm in length, 14.52mm wide & 19.46mm thick. It weighs 8.20 grams. Together they all weigh 70.61 grams. The tessera have been photographed together as a group. The presence of tessera on a site indicates the probability of a mosaic pavement, and therefore a probable villa. If it definitely a tessera, then it is of Roman dating (1st to 4th Centuries AD). Similar tessera were recovered from the excavations between 1955 and 1985 at the Baths & Macellum at Wroxeter (Anderson et al, 2000, 189). References: Anderson, F.

HESH-606030: FLUE TILE
A fragment of a hand made ceramic box flue tile, of Roman dating (1st to 4th Centuries AD). Approximately 5-10% of the box flue tile is present, consisting of part of one side and part of the front of the tile, with combed detail. It is sub triangular in plan, and L shaped in cross section. The front exhibits combed detail formed from five parallel lines in a wavy pattern. The combed pattern is to help attach the wall plaster to the ceramic tile, and traces of the white plaster are still present on the surface. The side of the tile exhibits an old break along the length. The ceramic fabric is oxidised, with occasional small grit & quartz granules present in the matrix. The box flue tile fragment measures 116.67mm in length, 77.13mm wide and 35.98mm thick. It weighs 221.76 grams. Box flue tiles are typically Roman in date, as they form part of the central heating system (the flues to allow warm air to heat the walls), common in high status Roman buildings.

A fragment of a hand made ceramic roof tile of the tegula type, of Roman dating (1st to 4th Centuries AD). Approximately 5-10% of the tegula tile is present, consisting of part of the outer ridge and a small amount of the flat central section. It is sub triangular in plan, and L shaped in cross section. The top of the ridge has been rounded off, but it also demonstrates old breaks. The base & sides have been smoothed off, but there are still rough patches which show that it was made on a bed of sand. The ceramic fabric is oxidised, with frequent small grit & quartz granules present in the matrix. The tegula fragment measures 137.21mm in length, 45.83mm wide and 49.50mm thick. It weighs 217.33 grams. Ceramic roof tiles are indicative of a building in the vicinty of the findspot. During the Roman period, roof tiles tend to consist of paired tegula (with ridges) and imbrex (curved) types.

HESH-61D764: PIPE (SMOKING)
An incomplete moulded clay tobacco pipe bowl of Post Medieval dating (17th to 18th Centuries AD) The clay tobacco pipe has been moulded from a white pipeclay. The pipe fragment consists of part of the bowl, heel & part of the stem.The bowl is incomplete, but does exhibit burnishing lines. It has a thick stem and bore, with large tailed heel. A maker's mark has been stamped onto the heel. It was originally a square shape, with three lines of text. All that can be currently read is WiL[ ]/IA[ ]/BRION. The clay pipe measures 39.95mm high, with a maximum diameter 22.37mm. The wall of the clay pipe bowl is 4.12mm thick. The internal diameter of the bore is 3.01mm. It weighs 10.32 grams. The maker's mark & the style of burnishing on the exterior of the pipe is typically of pipes manufactured in the Broseley area of Shropshire. The bowl type is comparable to that of a Broseley type 5a, typically manufactured between c. 1680 and c. 1720 (Atkinson, 1975, 25). The maker's mark is that of a WIlliam Brion, born in 1673 and died in 1740. He is known to be manufacturing pipes between c.1690 and 1700. Atkinson notes that examples of William Brion's pipes are scarce, indicating a short period of working and that one example has been recorded at Port Royal in Jamaica (Atkinson, 1975, 48).

HESH-625F93: VESSEL
One (1) bodysherd fragment of probable Roman vessel glass. The fragment is of a clear transparent glass with a slight blue-green tint to the glass. Air bubbles are present in the matrix. It is sub rectangular in plan and exhibits a slight curve. It measures 26.80mm tall, 38.74mm wide and 4.19mm thick. It weighs 7.62 grams. The presence of Roman glass fragments can be suggestive of the level of status of a site. Due to the fact that it tended to be recycled in antiquity, roman glass can be a rare find on any site. It was considered to be a more higher status artefact, similar in level to imported Samian ware pottery.

A handle fragment of a post medieval glazed Surrey/Hampshire redware cup. The upper join of the handle has attached part of the rim and internal face of the cup. At the lower join the break is on the join itself, so none of the body of the cup is attached. The cup is internally glazed with a clear glaze. The fragment measures 69.2mm (height) x 56.4mm (width) x 14.1mm (thickness) and weighs 54.52g. This style of redware cup dates to the late 17th to early 18th century AD.

HESH-62D783: VESSEL
One rimsherd of a wheel thrown ceramic vessel of Roman dating (2nd to 4th Centuries AD). The rimsherd consists of a fabric similar to that known as Dorset Black Burnished Ware, dating from the 2nd to 4th Centuries AD. The sherd probably originally came from a small shallow bowl type vessel. The sherd measures 7.71mm thick and weighs 19.6 grams. It measures 32.00mm tall and 49.08mm wide. Sherd specific details: Fabric type: Dorset Black Burnished ware Sherd type: Rimsherd Rim type: flat rim (FLT) Rim diameter: 19cm Percentage of surviving rim: 6% Sherd thickness: 7.71mm. Firing condition: unoxidised exterior, unoxidised core, unoxidised interior Hardness: Hard Surface texture: Smooth Surface treatment: burnished exterior Condition of sherds: Slightly abraded.

HESH-630871: VESSEL
A bodysherd of a wheel thrown ceramic vessel of Roman dating. The sherd is 6.23mm thick and weighs 3.37 grams. It is 16.14mm long and 28.62mm wide. The sherd consists of a bodysherd with an oxidised fabric with a red slip. This fabric type is consistent with an imported fine ware from Gaul, known as Samian ware. This pottery type is typically dates from the 1st to 3rd Century AD. Subtle differences in the fabric can distinguish the origin of the pottery from South Gaul to Central Gaul or East Gaul. The bodysherd is suggestive of a plate type form, like Dragendorff type 18/31R, a wide shallow bowl. This form tends to date between 90 and 150 AD, depending on the original source of manufacture. Sherd specific details: Fabric type: samian Thickness: 6.23mm Firing condition: oxidised exterior, oxidised core, oxidised interior. Hardness: Hard Surface treatment: dark red slip Surface texture: Smooth. Condition of sherds: Abraded. Sherd has been photographed.

WAW-631944: MOUNT
A cast copper alloy and enamel mount or stud with integral pin from the late Iron Age- early Roman period. It is square in plan, flat on the top (enamelled face) and curved on the base. The base is plain with an incomplete stud 6.35mm in length. The front is split into three rows of three cells by raised lines of copper alloy. This gives a chequerboard pattern. The cells are filled with enamel, alternating red and yellow. Chequerboard enamelling can be seen on other Iron Age objects such as harness equipment, for example two linch pins recorded on the PAS database as WMID-947693 and YORYM-B3FDA2 and a stud DUR-4E3C45. The use of polychrome enamels on geometric chequerboard native style metalwork, as on the linch pins from Hatherton, Staffs. and Hotham, E. Yorks. is a widespread trend in Britain dating from c. AD 40-80 (Davis & Gwilt 2008, 162-171). However chequerboard enamel is also used Roman brooches in the 2nd century AD so it is a tradition which continues, for example see the Wirral brooches recorded on the database.

HESH-632788: VESSEL
A rimsherd of a wheel thrown ceramic vessel of Roman dating. The sherd is 5.57mm thick and weighs 3.63 grams. It is 23.96mm long and 26.28mm wide. The sherd consists of a bodysherd with an oxidised fabric with a red slip. This fabric type is consistent with an imported fine ware from Gaul, known as Samian ware. This pottery type is typically dates from the 1st to 3rd Century AD. Subtle differences in the fabric can distinguish the origin of the pottery from South Gaul to Central Gaul or East Gaul. The bodysherd is suggestive of a small cup, like Dragendorff 33 (a small conical cup with a footstand). This cup type was first appeared during the reign of Tiberius, but it was never common in Britain during the 1st century. It was only during the mid to late 2nd Century, when it became the most popular cup type (Webster, 2005, 45). Manufacture of this type continued in the third century in the East Gaulish kilns. Sherd specific details: Fabric type: samian Rim type: Bead Rim diameter: 12cm % of Rim present: 6% Thickness: 5.57mm Firing condition: oxidised exterior, oxidised core, oxidised interior. Hardness: Hard Surface treatment: dark red slip Surface texture: Smooth. Condition of sherds: Abraded. Sherd has been photographed. Reference: Webster, P. 2005.

LANCUM-6350A4: KEY (LOCKING)
A small copper alloy rotary key of medieval date, probably a casket key dating from the 12th-14th century AD. The key was either cast (there are hints of casting seams around the outside of the shank and loop) or else, it would have been made from a piece of sheet metal which has been folded or rolled to form the stem. The shank is hollow and circular in cross-section. The object is flattened at one end to form an round bow. Several parallels for this key were found at Meols, Merseyside (Egan, in Griffiths et al 2007: 167/Pl. 30, nos. 2064-2075). The dating of sheet metal keys is not as well understood as for their cast counterparts, which have been found in layers dating from the late 12th to late 14th centuries (ibid. 166).

LANCUM-63D272: DAGGER
A very worn blade tip, possibly coming from a copper alloy dagger dating from the Early Bronze Age, around 2100-1500BC. The fragmetnt is extremely worn and the surface pitted on both side. It is uncertain if it had a midrib, though it is not likely. The cross-section was probably oblong/oval rather than diamong-shaped. It appears to be from a two-edged dagger, dirk or possibly rapier, though judging by its size it is more likely that it came from a dagger or dirk.

WAW-63DD68: BUCKLE
An incomplete Medieval cast copper alloy annular brooch pin, probably from the 14th century. It has an incomplete loop that tapers towards the end, where there is an old break. Outside and below the loop is a rectangular moulded collar. The shaft tapers slightly towards the end; on the underside of the tip, there is a small worn area that may be the notch. The pin is subrectangular in plan. It has a dark green patina. The pin is 51.3mm in length, 4.8mm in width, 8.15mm thick and weighs 5.7 grams. A similar brooch pin can be seen on the database SUSS-1E8091 and KENT-7A8BC3.

DUR-7330C3: BROOCH
A fragment of a copper alloy brooch dating to the early Anglo Saxon period, almost certainly a small-long brooch. The fragment comprises most of the headplate, but almost all of the edges are broken. Its front is decorated with three ring-and-dot motifs which are placed at the top and at either side, roughly at the base of where knobs would have originally been. Traces of a U-shaped cut-out can be seen at the base on one side (the observer's left), and the straight break next to this is across what would have been the top of the bow. There is also a trace of what may be a double-U cut-out (forming the edges of two knobs) on the left at the top corner. The reverse of the object has a double pin bar lug, with traces of iron corrosion. The object is otherwise green in colour. It weighs 3.8g, measuring 25.93mm in diameter and 1.83mm in thickness. It dates to c. 450-550 AD.

A Roman mount, 43-300 AD. Petal shaped mount, rounded at one end and gently pointed at the other. A central hole is slightly off-centre and the mount is D-shaped in section. There are scratches and gouges on the surface. The roundedness and the metalwork quality make the piece more likely to be Roman however an enameled example has been dated to the medieval period, though this piece is more tapered at one end: see LIN-9D5607

SOM-740B94: JUG
Fragment of the rim and handle from a 16th-17th century glazed jug in a dark orange-grey fabric. The fabric has abundent (c.20%) medium quartz sand temper with some limestone inclusions up to 1.3mm. across.The rim is beaded on the outerside with a rounded D-sectioned expansion and flares out slightly just below the rim. The point where the top of the handle joins the jug survives. It is oval in section and relatively flat. There is an even bright olive glaze covering the inner and outer side. The handle appears to have been unglazed or the glaze has worn. It weighs 36.37 grams.

DUR-741D84: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD

The outerside has a dark orange brown surface and the inner side is glazed with a bright yellow-green glaze. There is a small patch of smithing slag or other iron residue attached to one corner. The colour on the outerside, glaze colour and prescense of the iron may suggest it is a waster. The breaks are not abraded. It weighs 16.90 grams.

NCL-747285: BUCKLE
Later medieval copper-alloy D-shaped buckle, the outer edge is thicker with the cross bar thinner. There are filing marks on the frame of the Buckle.

BERK-747451: TOKEN
A copper alloy Post Medieval heart shaped trade token dating to either 1668 or 1669 (probably). As yet unidentified due to condition of token and difficulty in reading the inscriptions. The obverse shows a shield, within a heart shaped border of beads, charged with a chevron in fess between three open books. A partial inscription that may read [...]WANTING[...] DIERS(?) 166... The reverse is worn beyond recognition.

HESH-748266: VESSEL
A rimsherd of a wheel thrown ceramic vessel of Roman dating. The sherd is 7.3mm thick and weighs 14.22 grams. It is 44.2mm long and 43.1mm wide. The sherd consists of a bodysherd with an oxidised fabric with a red slip. This fabric type is consistent with an imported fine ware from Gaul, known as Samian ware. This pottery type is typically dates from the 1st to 3rd Century AD. Subtle differences in the fabric can distinguish the origin of the pottery from South Gaul to Central Gaul or East Gaul. The bodysherd is suggestive of a small bowl with a beaded external cord similar to form type 24/25 Sherd specific details: Fabric type: samian Rim type: Bead Rim diameter: uncertain possibly 18cm % of Rim present: 10% Thickness: 7.3mm Firing condition: oxidised exterior, oxidised core, oxidised interior.

The fabric has sparse very fine quartz sand and limestone inclusions. The limestone is up to 1.3mm across. The inner side is glazed with a mid olive-brown glaze and there are splashes on the outer side; the glaze is clear in places on the rim suggesting the inner side may be mis-coloured. The rim is tuned out with a slightly angular expansion on the outer side with an angled top edge and outer side. The reduced firing and glaze colour may suggest it is a waster. The breaks are not abraded. It weighs 50.34 grams.

HESH-750232: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A cast copper alloy artefact of unknown function of late Iron Age - Roman date, more likely of Roman date (100 BC - 250 AD). The artefact may be best described as a handle being sub-triangular in shape, irregular in profile and sub-rectangular in section. The profile is likely to be distorted in the soil - in shape it is similar to a bow brooch but is much heavier than most examples seen. It is therefore more likely to be either a handle or a decorative mount. The artefact tapers from a relatively wide and thick terminal to a rounded foot knop at the base. The section also tapers in thickness as well as width. The profile is strange and possibly deliberately bent as the bending looks slightly stepped in shape. Extending from he upper edge is a small turned knop like stud. This has a recessed transverse groove around it and seems to have no function. Below this stud on the external face is an area of cast decoration comprising a very stylised bulls head. This consists of small downturned projections to either side forming ears, three rounded bosses on the upper edge; being the forelock flanked by two horns; below this are two further bosses with central depressions; eyes; and a triangular wedge with a transverse band across the base for the snout. It is possible that this design could also be interpreted as a bunch of grapes. Below the bulls head a vertical groove is present that divides the upper surface evenly - terminating above the foot knop. The reverse surface is plain and undecorated. The remains of a tinned / silver washed surface is also present but highly decayed. The metal has a deep green colour with a slightly polished patina which is abraded in places. A direct parallel has not been found - bulls head decoration is commonly seen on material from the late Iron Age and early Roman period; this type of staring bull is often seen on late Iron Age mounts; however the feel of this artefact is better placed in the Roman period. The fitting measures 67.3mm long, is 20.1mm wide across the widest part, 6.7mm thick at the same point. It weighs 24.32 grams.

BERK-750AC7: VESSEL
A fragment from the shoulder of a late Iron Age or early Roman pottery vessel, fragment brown/black in colour with some orange colour internally.

SOM-751EA5: SLAG
Piece of waste material from a high temperature refractory furnace. The piece is silica which has poured from the furnace at a very high temperature. The surface has cooled rapidly into a glass like material while the inner has cooled more slowly to a opaque white material, thought to be high in silica. The surface material is opaque olive green. It weighs 60 grams. John Allen has examined this piece and suggested it may be a refractory or ball clay in the centre. While pottery wasters have been found from the site this is evidence of a much higher temperature and modern industry and was almost certainly brought to the site after production.

LON-7520C4: COIN

The fragment is rectangular in plan and decorated on one side only with a pattern of raised squares three abreast, 15 in total, running longitudinally. Discolouration at one end (possibly a terminal) suggests riveting however no reverse view is available.

SUR-7790B4: SUNDIAL
The outer frame of a post medieval portable sundial measuring 36.82mm in diameter. This example is of the simple ring type. It is formed of a flat copper alloy ring with a rectangular channel cut in the centre for about a third of its circumference; this contains a separate sliding collar. On the external surface, above and below the channel, there are inscribed measurement lines, above which are the first letters of the months of the year: 'I F M A M I' (the earlier months) above and 'I A S O N D' (the later months) below, upside down. Circumferential lines below the letters continue round the whole external face, as do the lines that border the letters above. On the interior there are similar incised lines directly above and below the channel that go around the whole surface. In a zone between each end of the channel are punched dots, alternately over scored with diagonal and transverse lines. These lines are in turn under numerals denoting hours: '4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12' above and '8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1' below. The basic semicircular wire loop is located at a point where the band has been soldered together.

WAW-78C366: KNIFE
A corroded post-medieval cast copper-alloy knife end-cap (16th century AD). The cap is in the form of two symmetrical stylised horse's hooves, with the terminal ends flattened and in the form of horse shoes. Each half of the pommel is sub-oval in cross-section and curves throughout its length. On each shoe is a longitudinal groove with small punched dots either side of the groove, representing the frog and nails. The nails are obscured by corrosion product. Calkins are moulded at the base of the frog, to each side. Each shoe is delineated by a transverse groove above and below; there the a further such groove above the base on both sides. At the base a rectangular slot is filled with the remains of a corroded iron tang. The end cap is corroded and has patches of iron corrosion product. A similar knife end cap is published and dated to about the 16th century AD by Read (2001, 88; ref: 653). The end cap is 12.1mm in length, 19.65mm wide, 7.55mm thick and weighs 6.3 grams.

SUR-78D026: COIN

The terminal has an elongated rectangular cross-section that expands to form a semi-circular projection. There is a large circular projection in the centre of the end cap with teo incisions running along the length of the artefact before it widens towards the semi-circular projection. The semi-circular projections edge is decorated with four transverse grooves. The end cap is 21.9mm in length, 17.1mm wide, 7.9mm thick and weighs 7.2 grams.

WMID-7944B6: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy annular brooch, of Medieval dating (c. 1250 to c. 1400 AD). Approximately 50% of the frame is present. The pin is missing, presumably lost in antiquity. The frame is sub circular in plan, with protrusions at the cardinal points, of which only 3 survive. Because all of the protrusions extend inwards (as well as outwards) the recess at the centre of the brooch is quadrilobate. At the sides & bottom are platforms that extend outwards from the frame, and to a lesser extent inwards. From these platforms tapering collets emerge. There is no longer anything in the concavities at the summits of collets but it assumed that they would have held precious stones or imitations of such. Half of a pin constriction remains, which is flanked by transverse ridges. The frame is bevelled internally and externally on its upper surface; the lower surface is flat. The frame therefore has a trapezoidal cross-section. It measures 30.99mm in diameter and is 7.2 mm thick. It weighs 6.0 grams. The brooch is a mid to dark green, with an even surface patina. A broadly similar brooch can found be illustrated in Read (2001, 109; ref. 783), although the published example has a perforation rather than a constriction, and is larger. Brooches found in Langrish (SUSS-934C28) and Bishops Sutton, Hampshire (HAMP-7654D0) provide close parallels. Reference: Read, B., 2001.

WMID-798536: FURNITURE FITTING
A complete cast copper alloy stud or furniture fitting, of Roman dating (50-410 AD). The fitting is conical in form being sub-circular in plan and triangular in profile. It is surmounted by a rounded knob / knop / projection, with a lower projecting circular collar. The lower part of the mount is plain apart from a lower horizontal groove present towards the base. The remains of a rectangular iron shank project from the underside of the fitting. The fitting measures 28.81mm in length, 13.67 mm wide and is 14mm thick. It weighs 17.64 grams. The fitting is a mid to dark green colour, with an abraded patina. It does exhibit some damage from movement caused whilst within the plough soil. Similar fittings have been published as bronze knobs #3.734 & #3.736 from the South Shields finds assemblage ( Allason-jones & Miket, 1984). Several similar examples have since been recorded on the PAS database as HESH-641315, SWYOR-B3ABF2 and SF-494A92. The identification as a furniture fitting is somewhat debatable; as they may have many applications including as cart fittings or other forms of mount. Reference: Allason-Jones, L., Miket, R. 1984.

WMID-79BDE5: KNIFE
A complete cast copper alloy end cap from a scale tang knife, of Medieval to Post Medieval dating (13th to 17th Centuries AD). The end cap consists of a debased fleur de lys or lis design. The lower end of the end cap has a slot, currently containing the remains of the scale tang from the original knife. The end cap is a dark to mid green colour, with an uneven surface patina. A loss of surface detail has resulted from damage caused by movement whilst within the plough soil. The end cap measures 20.5mm in length, 16.27mm wide and 9.42mm thick. It weighs 11.6 grams. Scale tang knives were introduced in the 13th/14th Centuries, but continued in use until the 17th Century. End caps have been encountered in a variety of styles, including stylised horses hooves being the most popular. The fleur de lys design seems to be fairly uncommon with only a couple recorded on the PAS database including SF-639506.

BERK-79D588: DAGGER
A cast copper alloy socketed object, probably a dagger pommel dating to the medieval period. The pommel has a roughly square top and is roughly square in profile; the object has four spiralling extrusions, one on each corner each with a cross cut into the surface. In the centre is a small sunken oblong recess. The object has a twist and is hollow inside and broken off. The closed end measures about 17mm square and is 19.29mm in depth. A similar object is illustrated in Read (2016) - Identifying Metal Artefacts Vol. 1 p93 no. 631.

WMID-7A35E5: DRESS HOOK
A complete cast copper alloy openwork mount or hooked tag of Early Post Medieval dating. The mount is sub circular in plan, with a integrally cast projecting hook on one side. It would have originally been one of a pair, with its partner having an integrally cast loop to recieve the hook. The decoration on the front consists of a Crescent moon, with a face present, looking towards a six pointed star. The hook extends from the star. The back of the mount is plain and undecorated. It measures 39.1mm in length, 23.71mm wide and 2.52mm thick. It weighs 4.9 grams. The mount is mid green to dark brown in colour with an abraded surface patina. Abrasion has occurred due to movement whilst within the plough soil and has resulted in a loss of some of the surface detail and patina. These mounts are thought to represent the Man in the Moon, and are possibly from a sword bell or baldrick. An published example is present in Read, 2008, p224, #805 and has been dated to c.16th to 17th Centuries AD. Several similar examples have been recorded on the PAS database either as mounts or strap fittings as HAMP-1C48B4, SUSS-2E08A5, NMS-26F8C0. A complete paired example has been recorded as NARC-6ECFD1.

CORN-7EEF93: CAULDRON
Cast copper alloy leg from a small cauldron or large skillet, sub-triangular in plan and plano-convex in section. The attachment to the vessel body still remains, and the leg then tapers evenly to the foot which is worn to a rounded end. Three wide ridges remain on the outer face of the leg, varying in width, which terminate at the transverse collar which divides the leg from the foot. The foot would have originally also been ridged, but it is now so worn it has lost its claw-like terminal. The centre of the outer face of the foot still projects outwards, however, representing the arch of the claw. The back of the leg is flat and scratched. The surface of the leg has mostly corroded away and there appears to be burnt residue in patches on the exterior, from when the cauldron was in use. Butler and Green (2003) illustrate similar legs on a skillet and smaller 2.5 gallon cauldron from the Sturton Foundry in Somerset, on pages 101-102, Nos.82 & 84, which are dated to 1630 and 1657 on the vessels.

CORN-8A70E5: INGOT
Cast copper alloy ingot or 'cake', oval in plan, and almost plano-convex in profile and section, but with an uneven base from the solidified lumps of molten metal. The upper surface is smoother but still has many deep circular pits. The molten copper alloy would have been poured into a mould with a slightly rounded base, echoing the curvature of this upper surface, and allowed to cool until it was solid. The undulating lower surface represents the formation of air pockets, the largest one of which seems to have burst. The colour, texture, shape and formation of the ingot suggests that is at earliest Medieval in date (Dr. Peter Northover pers comm). Without metallurgical analysis it is difficult to date the ingot any more than this. Egan (2005) illustrates a similar plano-convex antimony ingot on page 148, Fig.141, No.784, which is dated from c.1575-1600 from its context, but antimony was frequently found as a constituent of medieval copper alloys (ibid, 148), and one of its main sources is Cornwall.

CORN-8AB047: INGOT
Fragment of a cast copper alloy ingot or 'cake', oval in plan, and almost triangular in profile and section, but with an uneven base from the solidified lumps of molten metal. The side and upper surface are smoother but still have circular pits. The molten copper alloy would have been poured into a mould with a slightly rounded base, echoing the curvature of the side and upper surface, and allowed to cool until it was solid. The undulating lower surface represents the formation of air pockets, with troughs beside where the molten metal would have run away. The colour, texture, shape and formation of the ingot suggests that is at earliest Medieval in date (Dr. Peter Northover pers comm). Without metallurgical analysis it is difficult to date the ingot any more than this. Egan (2005) illustrates an antimony ingot with similar surfaces on page 148, Fig.141, No.784, which is dated from c.1575-1600 from its context, but antimony was frequently found as a constituent of medieval copper alloys (ibid, 148), and one of its main sources is Cornwall.

DUR-8AB7A1: COIN

The frame is D-shaped with pierced integral lugs for the missing plate. Iron corrosion is apparent around the lugs suggesting an iron axis. The reverse of the frame is flat and undecorated, but to the other side the outside edge of the frame is adorned with a crest from which project nine equidistant knops. The crest is decorated with tiny transverse incised lines. The crest extends to the top of the lugs while the ends of the frame curl inside the frame, almost back on themselves. A short bar joins them, which would have been for the pin (which is now missing). Sally Worrell, National Finds Adviser, comments that it is likely to be 2nd/ 3rd century in date (2012 pers.comm.)

DEV-8DA2A3: RING
Medieval to postmedieval cast copper alloy ring with attachment. The ring is circular and plain with probable file marks on the surface. A metal strip is folded loosely around the hoop of the ring. The strip recurves and is attached to itself at the back with a rivet. Dimensions: Diameter of ring- 28mm; Attachment strip- Width 6mm; Length (folded) 9mm. Discussion. This is an interesting find as many similar rings (without a recurving strip) have been found throughout England and Wales, however their function is unknown. In this example, the ring is attached to a strip and thereby could be in some way suspended. Brian Read suggests (pers comm) that the hoop may have been suspended from a belt, by means of the recurving strip, and the ring in turn, may then have acted as a suspension loop for carrying various implements about the person.

LEIC-8DC5B5Z: BUCKLE
Medieval copper alloy D shaped buckle, 27mm long, 16mm wide and 5mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 2.68grams. The buckle is cast in one piece with a slightly offset pin bar.

BERK-9EF9D1: WEIGHT
A small, roughly cuboid, lead alloy steelyard weight dating from the Medieval period. The weight has a domed peak and underside, through which an iron rod has been inserted that projects through the peak of the weight; it is now broken but would have likely formed a loop for suspension as well as aiding storage. The sides of the weight are decorated with cross hatching while the underside has four ring-and-pellet motifs arranged within the quarter arms of a cross. Lead weights, due to being a functional artefact, change little in style over time and as such can be hard to date accurately. Although many larger examples can be dated to the Roman period, this type of weight is thought to be medieval, and the decoration supports this theory. c. AD 1300-1500. Similar examples can be found in Withers (2000).

BERK-9F8D96: STRAP FITTING
A copper alloy fitting or buckle, possibly from a stirrup or harness. The reverse is concave and semicircular in cross-section and there is a buckle element (with pin) at the terminal end. Flattened, oval hole in centre with bent pin attached at side. Probably Post Medieval.

The shears suggests an occupation related to the wool industry or a taylor so it may be a Witney trade token which was famous as a cloth and blanket producing town in the 17th century.

BERK-A08103: MOUNT
A very debased silver sword belt mount dating to the early Post-medieval period. The mount is sub-triangular in plan, the wider end tapering in three sections, each of which is formed of a sub-rectangular area with knopped edges; there are two rivet holes above and below a central circular aperture. Towards the base of the mount, the thinner end, is a bar raised above and laid horizontally across the main body of the mount. This would have formed part of the attachment catch to an opposing mount. This style of mount was popular during the post-medieval period, c. AD 1500-1650.

LEIC-A0A8E8: CANNON BALL
Post Medieval? Iron cannonball, 95mm in diameter and weighing 1,760 grams (3lb 3.4 oz.). The ball may have been fired as it has a flat patch with scratching (the area reflecting light in the photo). Although the ball was found at Dadlington, a place long associated with the Battle of Bosworth, it is not believed to be as early as that. However it is interesting that several 'cannonballs' have been noted in this area.

SWYOR-A11924: DAGGER
A cast copper-alloy dagger dating from the Early Bronze Age, about 1900 BC - 1600 BC. It is a flat riveted knife-dagger type. The blade is slightly bent but seems to be almost complete. It has a mid rib on each face and the blade edges are bevelled. The sides of the blade are slightly convex, but are almost straight. At the hilt, they flare outwards and then meet to form a pointed end. A copper alloy rivet survives in the rivet hole on one side of the hilt. It is at the widest point. The other side is damaged and broken across the rivet hole. The rivet has expanded ends and is sub-circular in section. The organic hilt which would have probably been carved from bone or antler is lost. None of the daggers on the PAS database have quite the same shape, but for other Bronze Age daggers compare KENT-8D3476 and LANCUM-EDDE97. Ben Roberts of the British Museum comments that: "This example is of a sub-type that is larger (generally c. 10 cm), with two rivet holes, and which is found throughout Scotland, Yorkshire and the Pennines (see Gerloff 1976, 165-168, nos. 286-294)."

BERK-A15512: COIN

BERK-A1A934: COIN
An incomplete gold quarter noble of Edward III (AD 1327 - 1377) dating from c. AD 1363-1369. North N1243-1244.

BERK-A1E225: CASTING WASTE
A rectangular, or bar-shaped piece of silver casting waste. One end of the bar has been flattened although the purpose for this is unclear. There are markings on one side of the bar that look like a row of zig-zags, but this may just be a result of the casting process. Although made of silver, the artefact is undiagnostic and cannot be securely dated to pre-1712 AD. Therefore it does not fulfill the criteria of the Treasure Act 1996.

BERK-A20306: COIN
A silver plated or debased silver crown, folded into thirds. The coin is too worn for further identification but it is likely to date from the reign of Charles I (AD 1625-1649). N2190-2199.

BERK-A24F81: VESSEL
A cast copper alloy vessel leg, dating from the late medieval period. The vessel leg is sub-circular in section with a wide, flattened peak which would have connected to the underside of the vessel, in this case probably a tripod ewer. The leg is broken towards the base. AD 1150-1450.

SWYOR-A25FD4: SWORD
A lead alloy probably Early Medieval sword pommel dating from 400 - 700 AD. It is of "cocked hat" form with a rectangular base with a hump in the centre. A rectangular opening in the base would have housed the tang of the grip, and a hole through the hump would have been for the end of the tang with a cap or rivet on the end. The main panels have a raised border. The lead is patinated and scratched. The lead pommel may have had a decorative covering. This is the only lead example on the database. Most of the others are copper alloy, with some silver examples, and gold pommel caps from the Staffordshire hoard. It is about 5.5cm long. Similar examples but in copper alloy are FAKL-BAB7F5 and YORYM-1A42D1.

BERK-A27392: VESSEL
A leg from a Post-medieval cast copper alloy cooking vessel. It is D-shaped in section with a flat back and curving front. The front is formed of three convex ribs which run down the length of leg, reminiscent of an animal's paw, which terminates in a flared, hoof-like foot, separated from the leg by a raised collar. The top of the leg is broken off just above the collar with an old break. Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1200-1700 for serving and cooking. Butler et al (2009:4) suggest there were four main types of leg used. This is a Type C which they suggest was already in use by the 16th century and was almost universal in the 17th century.

LON-A27685: PIPKIN
A handle fragment of a post medieval Surrey/Hampshire border whiteware with green glaze pipkin. The fragment has a slanted break, which is very worn but shows an approximate angle for the handle in relation to the body of the pipkin; the handle has been stretched and thinned at the joint to increase the strength of the bind. None of the pipkin body survives. There is a raised and an indented collar near the terminal on the handle, and patches of a green-yellow glaze survive on and in the collars. The handle is hollow. The fragment measures 54.3mm (length) x 31.7mm (width) x 24.3mm (diameter of handle) and weighs 22.67g.

BERK-A27AC0: COIN
A copper alloy clipped Roman nummus of the House of Constantine (AD 307-361) and dating to the period AD 330 - 335. Reece period 17.

LON-A2D3E7: VESSEL
A bunghole fragment from a medieval coarse Surrey/Hampshire borderware cistern. The bunghole is ring-shaped; it contains part of the wall of the cistern and an additional attached fluted disc of the same fabric, which has then had a circular removal taken from the centre. The fabric is light grey with small to large flint and grit inclusions. It measures 52.1mm (length) x 46.9mm (width) x 22.2mm (thickness) x 17.7.mm (diameter of hole) and weighs 46.37g. Cisterns are a common form of coarseware vessel, and are the only ones to have bungholes. The cisterns were made from c.1340 to 1440 AD (Pearce and Vince 1988, 56 & 87)

CORN-B58784: COIN
Silver shilling of William III (1694-1702), First bust, c.1695-1697, too worn to make out any mint mark on obverse or date on reverse, so Spink 3497-3503

There is no sign of a catch plate or pin.

SUSS-DE9020: SCRAPER (TOOL)
A coarse worked flint object, probably fashioned from a natural break to form a crude scraper. It is likely that this scraper dates to the Bronze Age, or perhaps later, due to the quality of the knapping and size. The angle of retouch on the distal end is nearly abrupt, at an approximately 80-degree angle. One large ripple of percussion is visible on the dorsal face and a portion of the bulb remains on the ventral side. It is unclear whether a small point of the platform remains or whether this object was originally produced by a natural percussive force and then subsequently retouched. The material of the flint is very coarse, with an even and thick white patina covered with small black speckling and a grey patina on the retouched edge. It measures 46.25 mm long, 39.33 mm wide, 11.91 mm thick and weighs 29.55 grams.

It measures 47.34 mm long, 31.1 mm wide, 4.87 mm thick and weighs 7.82 grams.

A sestertius of Julia Mamaea wife of Severus Alexander, Rome AD224. Rev: VENERI FELICI SC.

BERK-DEEE47: COIN
A silver cut or snapped short cross halfpenny, probably of John (AD 1189-1216), struck in Bury St. Edmonds. Moneyer unknown. Although it is likely that this is a coin of John (Class 6c2, N976) dating from AD 1216-1217, it is possible that it may be of his successor, Henry III (1216-1272), Class 6c3 and dating to AD 1217.

SUSS-DEF731: FLAKE
A flint knapped flake, probably dating to either the Mesolithic or Neolithic period (8300-2100 BC). Although the platform is missing, there is a strong bulb of percussion and conchoidal ripples present on the ventral surface. No signs of retouch or further knapping are visible to suggest that this flake was modified as a tool. It measures 35.37 mm long, 22.75 mm wide, 4.83 mm thick and weighs 6.99 grams.

SUSS-DF31F3: CORE
A possible core trimming of uncertain date, probably between the Mesolithic and early Bronze Age period (c. 8300-1500 BC). The object is pyriform in plan, with a widening sub-triangular cross-section. Light ripples are visible on one face, but the bulb and platform of percussion is missing. No small retouch is visible although there are microlithic removals on what is presumably the semi-circular distal edge. A small strip of cortex remains on the dorsal surface, running from the mesial edge to one of the outer edges, near the distal end. Dispersed fractures on both surfaces reveal flint material which is dark grey in colour, however most of the surface of the object is covered in a lighter grey patina. The object measures 61.62 mm long, 41.22 mm wide, 23.57 mm maximum thickness and weighs 53.5 grams.

SUSS-DF41F6: FLAKE
A flint knapped flake of possible Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date, (3500-1500 BC). The flake seems to be missing its platform from an old break at the proximal end and its bulb of percussion, however a few deep ripples are visible on the ventral surface. No signs of retouch remain to suggest that this flake was prepared for a specific use. The flint is of a mottled light to dark grey colour, with a small orange circular surface colouration on the dorsal distal end. It measures 41.06 mm long, 28.61 mm wide, 5.55 mm thick and weighs 8.69 grams.

BERK-E1FD85: AWL
A cast copper alloy awl or tracer, probably dating to the Late Bronze Age (c. 1150-800 BC). The awl has an almost flat sub-rectangular cross section at the tang end, which widens to become more rounded in the centre of the awl. The awl then tapers to a point. There is some debate as to the date of such awls, which probably first appeared in the Late Bronze Age but could conceivably have continued to have been made until much later; here the patina does suggests a prehistoric date.

BERK-E21CD8: SEAL MATRIX
A Medieval flat and circular lead seal matrix with a square projection on the top edge, probably for a lost suspension loop. The obverse design is of a 9 petalled flower, the whole within a border. The inscription around the outer edge reads: + TOMAS VINTER or possibly WINTER. 13th Century AD in date.

SUSS-E23432: PADLOCK
A cast copper alloy Post Medieval combination lock dating from 1550 to 1650. The lock has a cylindrical case. The cylindrical case is made up five discs originally movable but now corroded onto an axle, between two outer discs. The two outer discs were attached to an arched hasp or shackle which is D-shaped in section and is 15.15 mm high. One of the outer discs and a portion of this hasp are missing. There are capital letters engraved or stamped on the five rotating discs in addition to the number 3 and a cross. All of the letters seem to be intact on the surface of the rotating discs. From intact outer disc, running left to right, the symbols on each disc are: (intact outer disc) A P 3 Y; (1) Y F O R 3 P; (2) X C A S v L; (3) D B K T E G; (4) Q + I N H M. The case has a diameter of 17.21 mm and is 19.4 mm long. Its size and design make it likely that it was used to lock a casket. Weight 27.74 grams. The object has an even dark reddish brown patina. The axle is made of iron and is circular in cross-section. For other siilar PAS examples, cf. LIN-80D373; SF8892; ESS-32C082.

Roman copper alloy nummus of Gratian, GLORIA NOVI SECVLI reverse, Arles, 367-75 ( RIC IX, Arles 15, type xii).

SWYOR-F6A184: COIN
A silver Post Medieval coin which was clearly not intended for circulation as money, because it has two obverses, but which would presumably not have passed as a counterfeit. It is imitating a coin of Henry VII, but it does not match any known coin type. It appears that each face was struck from a different die, one from the Canterbury mint, so it is not a straightforward brockage. Paul Withers comments that it is "a good counterfeit, an accurate enough legend and the dies made with proper punches. Whoever made it had had not only skill, but had had lots of practice, and access to a good workshop." He also suggests that it could have been used for a heads or tails scam! Although the coin looks to date from about 1475 - 1525, it is also possible that it is a modern imitation. The coin is bent and there are a couple of chips in the edge.

DUR-F6C660: COIN
A copper alloy coin of the 1596 Triple Alliance of England, France and the Netherlands, dating to 1598. Obverse: Three coats of arms surounded by interlaced branches, DEO DUCE COMITE CONCORDIA (God our leader unites his companions) Reverse: A laurel wreath surrounded by three armoured arms with swords forming a triangle.

LEIC-F70F93: TOGGLE
Iron age or Roman copper alloy toggle? 29mm long, 19mm wide and 3mm thick. The object is in good condition and weighs 3.73grams. The object consists of a triangular loop with a curved base and D shaped section. Emerging from its apex is a crescent shaped shaft with a circular section which tapers to a point. The object appears to be complete and seems to be a variant of the usual toggle form. It is similar to SUSS-FB19A3, although that is a sub- spherical toggle with a triangular loop.

SWYOR-F743F1: FINGER RING
An incomplete copper alloy gem set finger ring of Roman date. The hoop no longer survives but the remaining portions expand and swell to a bezel. The bezel is chunky and set with an oval, red gem. The gem is worn, chipped around the edges and a fragment is missing. The cavity in which it rests is hollow under the gem. The metal is decorated with moulding. There is a groove forming a border round the gem, and the sides of the bezel has semi-circular depressions with a ridge round them. There are two depressions on each side of the gem. The shoulders are also moulded, with raised pointed ovals forming a chevron pointing towards the bezel, and a central groove running along the hoop. The breaks are patinated and worn. The finger ring has been thickly silvered on the outer faces, though some of this has worn off. The underside of the bezel is smooth and has developed a dark green patina. No close parallel has been found for the ring, but the general style and chunkiness are consistent with a Roman date. Length: 24.7mm; Width: 17.4mm; Thickness: 13.3mm; Weight: 11.95g

HAMP-F74C35: COIN
An extremely worn 13th-century silver medieval cut farthing probably of John, possibly struck by the moneyer Miles at uncertain mint (c. 1204 - c. 1207 AD; probably Short voided cross Class 5)

LEIC-FA8D66: FINGER RING
A copper alloy finger ring, probably of Roman date. The ring has a narrow plain hoop flaring out to plain shoulders supporting a circular bezel. The bezel is decorated by a central four-pointed incised star design surrounded by fine incised lines following the edges of the design, and a further line around the circumference. The angles of the star each contain double parralel fine lines curved in an anti-clockwise direction. The central cavity of the star is empty with some corrosion products. The ring is in fair condition and weighs 4.02g. The hoop is 20mm in diameter, 2mm wide and 2mm thick at the rear, and the bezel is 15mm in diameter.

NMS-FAD3B3: SPUR
An incomplete Post Medieval cast copper alloy rowel spur frame. The terminal end and approximately two-thirds of one spur arm is missing from an old break. One loop of the terminal end of the second arm and a fragment around the rowel box spindle is also missing, together with the rowel itself. Attached to the remaining circular terminal of the surviving arm is a fragment of the looped fitting that would attach to the leather binding. The neck of the spur curves downwards and spreads wider towards the split rowel box end. The arms of the spur taper from the rowel box end to the terminal end. They are an angular 'D' shape in cross-section. The heel section of the spur is bordered with a moulded ridge at the sides, which converge away from the edge of the arms to form a chevron point halfway along the arms towards the terminal end. A similar spur is recorded on the PAS database as NLM-B65B41. Suggested date 1560-1700 AD

LEIC-064101: LOCK
Roman copper alloy lock bolt fragment, 26mm long, 19mm wide and 8mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 9.67grams. The object consists of a sub rectangular shaft which is forming the frame of an openwork plate. This plate has crossing diagonal bars which are contained by a rectangular frame. This fragment consists of one whole and one incomplete section and has slightly bent broken edges. Compare SF-33808E, SWYOR-7580D9, SWYOR-756F37, LIN-5158CE.

LEIC-0688C1: PIN
Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) polyhedral pin head, 17mm long, 9mm wide and 5mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 2.13grams. The object consists of a flattened Polyhedral shape (cube with the corners cut away) which is decorated on every surface with tightly packed circular depressions with raised circles inside. It has a short section of circular sectioned shaft, which begins with a raised circular collar, emerging from its base. These objects are thought to date to the middle Saxon period, 700-900.

A silver penny of James I, second coinage (1604-1619), TUEATUR UNITA DEUS on both sides, mullet initial mark, North Number: 2106/2. This coin has been designated as extremely rare by JJ North.

HAMP-071E55: COIN
A very worn, clipped and damaged 14th-century continental imitation of a medieval Edwardian penny struck under Gaucher of Chatillon, count of Porcien, at Yves mint (1313-1322 AD; probably Mayhew type 239). This coin has suffered a loss at its circumference equating to around 5% of its original flan.

Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) spherical pin head, 12mm long, 9mm wide and 9mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 3.25grams. The object consists of a sub spherical terminal which is decorated with tightly packed raised circles with smaller raised circles inside. It has a short section of circular sectioned shaft, emerging from its base.

BERK-07A1F1: MOUNT
A copper alloy mount, probably for a book or casket and dating to the medieval period. The mount is rectangular in plan and flat in profile. One face is decorated with an ecclesiastical design of a monk or possibly a saint holding an open book. The figure is robed and appears to be wearing a hat or headdress. Above the figure's head is a curved panel with cross-hatching, possibly representing the inside of a church or other building. The figure stands on a plinth supported by two small columns each inscribed with a single 'X' design. The left foot of the figure appears to hang over the edge of the plinth. In medieval churches a religious figure or statue was often featured with one foot extended so that pilgrims could rub it for luck. There are no attachment fittings such as rivet holes on this mount and it appears to be complete; it may have been glued to a larger object or held in place by other means. The mount would have been gilded but only a small fraction of this now survives. The style of the figure suggests an early to mid-medieval date, c. 12th-14th century AD.

WILT-07CA81: COIN

DUR-08A2E5: BROOCH
A cast copper alloy brooch of Late Roman/Early Medieval date (4th-5th centuries). The brooch is a derivative of the P shaped and crossbow types with a headstud at the top of the bow, possibly an example of a continental type from the Rhineland.

WILT-0B8022: STRAP FITTING
An Early Post-Medieval (1500-1700) copper alloy sword belt fitting, consisting of a mount with three suspension loops from which a trio of hooked plates would have hung. In turn, the scabbard straps would have been attached to these plates. Measures 68.61x71.73mm and weighs 48.3g. The mount has a c.2mm diameter piercing at the centre and either end, for attachment purposes. All three are filled with iron corrosion. The hanging plates each have two rivet holes at either end, again for attachment purposes, and are also filled with iron corrosion. The terminals of the mount are trefoilate, then comes a waist after which it widens towards the centre then narrows before widening into a lozenge above the central loop. The underside is undecorated while the front features an elaborate scrolled foliage pattern, split down the longitudinal axis, with incised fronds trailing towards the edges and a central arrangement of six leaves (around the central pericing). The mount is convex to the front and concave to the reverse. The three loops extends from one long edge and are c.10.5mm in diameter (internal c.6mm). The mount measures 68.61x29.93x2.92mm. The hooked plates have one trefoliate terminal and a globular-terminalled hook, which curves round to meet the plate. From this end extends an elaborate scrolling folate pattern with front to either side from a central stem, reaching into the trefoliate end. The plates measure c.50.06x22.11x12.48mm. Such fittings are rarely found complete, rather elements or broken examples are far more common. An illustration of another complete sword-belt fitting can be found in Read (2001, 43; fig. 26, ref. 373). Such fittings 'proliferate in the 16th and 17th centuries' (Geake 2001, 35). Their design and decoration are relatively standardised.

SUR-0BA197: SWORD
A guard or component from the hilt of a Roman, or late Iron Age, sword or dagger of 1st century AD date. Part of the tang/blade junction survives within. The guard retains slight traces of niello lines on the edges and on the collar. The surviving tang measures 18.63mm x c8mm and the blade measures 36.17mm x 6.65mm. An idea of how such hilt guards were used can be gained from the swords found at Cotterdale, Yorkshire (MacGregor 1976, no.143) and Hod Hill, Dorset (Manning 1985 149, V3), the latter probably being a Roman sword.

DEV-0BA386: COIN
Postmedieval silver hammered coin. The coin is a threepence of Elizabeth I (1558 - 1603 AD). See Spink number 2573 for a similar coin (reference below). Eglantine mint mark. The coin dates to 1574.
