A cast copper alloy octofoil mount dating to the medieval period. The mount has eight domed lobes extending from the outer circumference of a circular domed body; the lobes are hollow on the back, as is the central boss, from the which extends the remains of a square-sectioned shank for attachment. The rear of the mount is plain and undecorated. Egan and Pritchard (1993:186-194) illustrate a range of copper alloy flower mounts which were used to adorn straps and harnesses or belts. These mounts were in common use by the middle of the 14th century and continued to be popular until the late 15th century.

A lead alloy weight, probably dating from the medieval to post-medieval periods. The weight is circular in plan with a roughly D-shaped cross section. There are no markings, stamps or decorations on either the upper or lower face of the weight. There is a small depression on the underside of the weight, and this may be a result of manufacturing by turning. The weight weighs 41gms or 1.45oz. Although very hard to date without contextual information, the weight is most likely to date from the medieval to post-medieval period, c. AD 1300-1600,

A cast copper alloy thumb screw, possibly from a watch winder, nutcracker or even a musical instrument. The screw has a sub-circular dished head with small knop at the apex, a skirted collar beneath which separates the turning head from the shaft; only a fragment of the screw thread survives. Similar objects are recorded as the screw heads for open-box nutcrackers; although no watch-winder exactly like this example has been found, it is possibly this may have also been the objects original purpose. 17th to 18th century AD.

A lead alloy 'pot mend', probably dating from the medieval period. The pot mend comprises two sub-oval discs joined by a thick central shank and was used to mend a broken vessel in order to lengthen the period of use after damage had occurred. Although very hard to date on their own, some pot-mends do date to the Roman period, although the majority date to the medieval and post-medieval period, c. AD 1300-1550.

A cast copper alloy sexfoil mount dating to the medieval period. The mount has six lobed petals raised around a domed centre. The petals have trilobed terminals and each petal is defined by a narrow incised line. The central raised area contains iron corrosion on both the upper and underneath surfaces; this suggests an iron shank which is now missing. The rear of the mount is plain and undecorated. Egan and Pritchard (1993:186-194) illustrate a range of copper alloy flower mounts which were used to adorn straps and harnesses or belts.

A Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface circular token. The token has a raised design of an intial or intials, probably intended to be a single letter W (designed as two overlapping letter Vs). There is a single raised pellet both above and below the letter. The reverse is blank.
Lead tokens are difficult to date precisely and could be Medieval to Post Medieval in date (1250-1800 AD). The majority of lead tokens are thought to date to the seventeenth century or later, c. 1600-1800, especially those which depict lettering or initials, this token is therefore dated in line with this thinking.

A Medieval to post-Medieval vessel foot from a copper alloy cooking vessel (c. 1250-c. 1650 AD).
The object is sub-rectangular in plan and cross-section throughout its length. It is undecorated but the front retains a raised central vertical rib. The base of the foot is now worn, broken and rounded, but would have resembled an animals' paw. The top of the foot is broken off beneath where it would have joined the vessel. The underside of the base retains a black substance, probably consolidated soot. Cast cooking vessels seem to have come into use in the second half of the 13th century and continued to be used until at least until c. AD 1600 (Geake 2001, 52).

A cast copper alloy fragment of figurine or statuette of probable Roman date (50-400 AD). The fragment comprises the lower arm (forearm) wrist and hand of the left arm; the elbow is lost due to an old break which is patinated. The fragment is relatively poorly modelled, with the forearm being relatively thick and chunky, and the wrist and fingers being inelegant and crudely shaped. The wrist is slightly bent / flexed inward and the thumb is tucked against the forefinger. The fingers are outlined by V shaped furrows, which maybe cast and then augmented by carving / filing. The area between the thumb and forefinger is filled with a mid brown corrosion product (which is not magnetic and therefore not iron). The arm and wrist have distinct but slight facets on them again caused possibly by carving or filing. The arm is a mid greenish brown colour with a thick surface patina that is abraded in places. Where abrasion has occurred slight copper alloy corrosion is present. The break is patinated suggesting damage in antiquity. A direct parallel has not been found, there are a number of statuette or figurine arms of the database,. It is possible that this example is a deliberately broken votive figurine - or token model of an arm deliberately deposited as a religious offering.
The arm measures 55.2mm length, 11.9mm width and 11.6mm thick on the upper arm and 12.2mm wide and 10.8,mm thick across the hand. The arm weighs 30.84 grams

A copper alloy ring of uncertain date and function. It is a rod of sub-square but rounded section which has been bent into a closed loop. The ends butt up to each other. The inner edge is worn and rounded. The ring was found in a field that has produced many Roman finds, so a Roman date is tentatively suggested. The patina is well developed and is a very dark brown colour with some pitting. Compare BERK-D773A4 and BERK-1DF112.

A Middle Bronze Age copper alloy spiral-twisted torc dating in the Taunton period (1400-1250BC). It measures 211mm widthways, 193mm longways and is max.14.95mm thick. It weighs 537g, to the nearest 1g.
The main body of the torc is square in section with accentuated edges and twisted rather tightly (the torc comprises 29 twists). It is thickest at the centre (14.95x13.78mm) and narrows on either side to 10.33x10.24mm and 10.18x10.49mm. From here the plain, circular-sectioned and flat-ended terminals extend, 9.58mm and 9.36mm in diameter, narrowing to 8.10mm and 8.46mm. Both flat ends are slightly concave with a circular depression at the centre, c.3mm in diameter. The torc is fashioned in such a way so that one end lies inside the circle of the torc as created by the other end.
The patina is smooth, shiny and a light green-blue in colour, but with some pitting and areas of brighter blue corrosion, suggesting it could be quite active.
A similar torc, but smaller and with hooked terminals, can be found in the Durnford Hoard (Salisbury Museum collections).
Adam Gwilt, curator, National Museum of Wales, comments: 'Looking at Ben Roberts's article (PPS 73, 2007) on Ornaments in Britain 1400-1100BC, his listing and distribution maps show that earlier bronze pre-cursors to gold torcs do tend to cluster across parts of southern and eastern England. The Durnford hoard is included in his catalogue and Wiltshire is within his Zone B with tendencies towards frequent gold and bronze spiral twisted torcs'.

A copper alloy crotal bell, cast in one piece and dating to the post-medieval period. The bell has a median band which was intended to imitate the earlier two-piece crotal bells. This example has a rectangular suspension loop and two sounding holes on the upper half of the bell. The lower half of the bell contains the sounding split, and internally the iron pea is retained. There is no decoration. This style of bell dates from the 17th to 18th century AD.

A copper alloy ring of uncertain date and function. It is similar to harness rings which are commonly believed to be Medieval. These generally have a hexagonal cross section for example, WAW-3E2EE1. However, this example is thicker than normal, and though the inner edge is bevelled, the outer edge is more rounded and has an incised pair of lines running round it. It is not clear if the lines are wear or decoration. The ring was found in a field that has produced many Roman finds, so a Roman date is tentatively suggested. The patina is well developed and a very dark green colour. Compare BERK-D773A4 and BERK-1DF112.

Incomplete post Medieval cast copper alloy sword belt fitting. The fitting consists of an irregular-shaped plate decorated with an incised curvilinear floriate design. The plate had two circular rivets at the top and bottom, one of the holes for these rivets survives intact but the other is incomplete as it is the point of a break. The fitting is broken at both the top and bottom.
Compare with DENO-11C9C1 a complete example of this type of fitting.
Fittings of this type are typically dated c.1550-1650.
