County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead object, possibly a spindle whorl of uncertain date. The object is circular in plan and domed in section, with a central circular perforation. The base is flat. It has a diameter of 26mm, a thickness of 12mm and the perforation has a diameter of 10mm. It weighs 57.25g.

A copper-alloy strap end dating to the late second to fourth century AD. At one end, the strap end possesses a rectangular attachment loop with worn semi-circular perforation. This extends to a plain, flat leaf-shaped body. It measures 32mm in length, 10mm in width and is 1mm thick. The strap end weighs 0.9 grams.
