Seventeen sherds of Roman grayware including 4 rim sherds and one base sherd. The sherds range in colour from buff through pale grey to dark grey and some are not entirely reduced.

A fragment from a cast lead alloy seal matrix of late medieval date (1200-1400). The fragment is irregular in plan - originally being a pointed oval / vesica-shape. The broken edges are all old and abraded and a light grey coloured corrosion product is present. The design on the front face is lost - the central element comprised a vertical hollow sided shape - possibly a vertical cross which is enclosed by a slight incised border which echos the shape of the seal. The inscription is similarly lost - from what survives the following letters can be seen: [...]RD [...] ENO [...]. In the …

Cast iron shot, spherical in shape, with pitted surface, but with most of the surface iron corrosion product having fallen away since it was found, leaving the original object. The shot is about an inch and a quarter in diameter, or 39 mm, which could have been used by the smaller artillery pieces like the 'base', or small cannon, which was the smallest of the 'standard' list of guns of the late 16th century, at one and a quarter inch calibre, but equally could have been used as grape shot for some of the larger pieces. In the 17th century, during the Civil War, any iron object was us…

An incomplete Post Medieval cast lead Powder Flask cap, circa 1600 AD - 1700 AD. One of the integral loops that attached the cap to a bandolier is missing. The cap secured the mouth of a flask, that held a single charge of gunpowder for a Musket. Sometimes up to twelve such flasks were attached to a bandolier and were referred to as "Apostles". The images show the cap in its original as found condition, and also after restoration. It measures height 20.2mm, base diameter 19.02mm, and weight 25.2g. The diameter of the attachment loop is 8.7mm, and its perforation 2.5mm. It is in fair c…

A base sherd from a Roman ceramic vessel. The base is flat and has wavy comb marks on its underside. The side forms an angle of approximately 60 degrees with the base and has rilling on its inner face, providing evidence of wheel throwing.
