Workflow stage: Published
Copper alloy brooch of late early-medieval date, Jansson type II A, domed disc type. Missing pin, very abraded. The pin was held on a transverse loop, now broken and bent outwards. The disc has a concave back. On the front the decoration is extremely worn. The outer rim might have been beaded. The main design has six arms, three of which split into pairs of ring terminals - this is almost certainly Borre style decoration similar to the example illustrated in the Finds Recording Guide Ill. 6 - these are generally described as "Viking".

Copper alloy ?mount fragment. interlocking lozenge shaped outline, bent (towards the back) and broken at one end. The back is flat around the edges and irregular slightly concave between. At the terminal a 3.5mm diameter hole has chamfered sides. The outline is determined by a simple relief woven strap design, with a central circle, border pellets and single curving line; intervening recessed areas have all over fine punched dots. Surviving length 37mm, width 26mm, thickness 3mm. In spite of the context (c. 50m from a Viking brooch) the style and condition of the piece suggest a later…

Copper-alloy ball-headed pin. The shaft is in two pieces and incomplete; it is attached in the collared socket at the base of the hollow head, and apparently projects into the damaged knob on the top of the sphere. Four projections around the mid point are applied cylinders (one is missing) with applied beaded silver wire collars; the cylinders contain a powdery black material. The rest of the surface has applied spirals of silver wire with concave surfaces. A similar form of pin (but without the spirals) in gilded silver from Flixborough is dated to the 8th century (Webster and Backho…

Copper alloy hairpin, biconical head. Missing most of the shaft. Diameter of the head at the angle is 7.5mm, below which there is a single horizontal groove.

Copper alloy probable bracelet fragment, broken at one end, the other might be an original straight terminal. Decorated with longitudinal mouldings, a broad (4mm) central convex one flanked by narrow (1.5mm) pairs, with traces of ?transverse lines on the inner pair; each moulding separated by a narrow groove. Width 12mm, surviving length 28mm. Probably an early Roman "broad" type, although narrower and apparently less decorated than most. This type of bracelet is also sometimes called the 'wide strip' type and has been identified with the Roman term 'armilla'. This example was in…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy ?buckle frame fragment. It survives as a triangle with an extended apex and a slighter base bar, beyond which the side bars are broken. The terminal is triangular in section with a rounded end and traces of transverse grooves and moulding - possibly a stylised animal head originally? The side bars are 5x2mm and angled slightly in toards the front; the cross bar is 3x2mm and very worn in the centre - perhaps from holding a buckle tongue? The condition and style of the piece suggest a late Saxon - early Medieval date.
