A group of five objects from the same field, though not necessarily deposited together, all of probably Early Medieval date. All five objects are fragments of waste silver, probably evidence of silver working. They are undecorated and have no dating evidence themselves, but are from a known Early Medieval productive site. There is one larger piece of thick plate (15.34mm long, 12.41mm wide and 5.63mm thick, 5.33g) with all the edges broken. There are two tiny rounded fragments - perhaps flattened drops of silver, and two fragments of thin sheet, also with all edges broken. Compare S…

A silver plate probably from a strap end of Early Medieval date. The plate is rectangular but with one corner broken off and damage to the middle of the other long edge. The upper face is plain, but on the reverse are slight marks where there have been rivets; one in a corner, and two at the other end near the corners, but further from the short edge. There is also a roughened patch in the centre. The plate is difficult to date, but as it is from an Early Medieval productive site, an Early Medieval date is suggested. As it is probably more than 300 years old, and made of silver, it…
