Pottery cordoned body sherd of a round-bodied jar with two parallel cordons on the side of the vessel as it curves towards the rim. The upper cordon is about 6 mm thick and the lower one about 8 mm thick. The fabric is a uniform orange to light brown colour throughout, with an oxidised exterior, and looks to be gabbroic as it has inclusions of white felspar and grey augite, as well as mica. The surface of the pot has been burnished during manufacture and there are incised lines above and below the moulded cordons, helping to define them. It is well made and high fired, which suggest…

Object type: LINCH PIN

Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete vase-headed linch pin, probably dating from the Roman campaigning/conquest period in Britain, AD40-80. The linch pin has a copper alloy head, adjoining an iron shank which is broken at the base. There is no foot. When viewed in plan, the copper alloy head has concave sides, a flat top and a rounded collar just above the join with the iron shank. A broadly circular perforation, approximately 5mm in diameter, runs transversely through the head, which can be seen when the linch pin is viewed in profile. This would have probably held a thong which attached the foot to the hea…

A fragment of a decorated copper alloy horse harness fitting, probably a harness mount. In profile the fragment is gently curved across its longer axis rather than being entirely flat. The fragment includes portions of two adjoining curved edges of the harness fitting, one concave and one convex. On the reverse of the fitting, near to the broadly right angled corner that is the junction between two broken sides, there is a slightly raised area, approximately 3 mm2, of unclear shape. It is unclear if this is a portion of a feature for attaching the fitting. There is also a rounded…
