An extremely bent, early-medieval (mid 5th- to 6th-century Anglo-Saxon) small-long brooch. This incomplete brooch is cast in copper alloy, with traces of an iron pin corroded within the lug. This brooch has been severely bent so much so that the arched bow is so flat that it can sit on a flat surface. The head and foot are bent almost at right angles to the flattened bow, their upper surfaces now facing. The brooch has a rectangular head-plate with rounded corners to which has a incised border of double V-shaped stamps, with small broken annulets at the apex of each 'pyramid'. The …

A slightly worn and bent, possibly irregular 11th-century silver late early-medieval penny of Edward the Confessor, 'Pyramids' type, struck by the moneyer Spracling probably at Winchester mint (c. 1065 - c. 1066 AD; North 831). Two small points of copper-alloy corrosion product on the obverse suggest that this coin might be a plated copy; they may simply be accretions. Although Spracling minted at London as well as Winchester (North 1994, 184, 186), only Winchester coins seem to have sufficiently elongated renderings of the moneyer's name to prevent space for the mint name. The fi…

A slightly corroded early-medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end of Thomas Class B, Type 1. A broadly 9th-century date can be suggested for this artefact (Thomas 2003, 4).

The split terminal is cusped with a perforation in each rounded corner. The field below is defined by incised longitudinal borders with small nicks to the sides. There are possible diagonal incisions within the field but these are unclear. …
