Incomplete cast copper alloy Aesica-variant brooch, likely another Cornish Type 31 (Bayley, Butcher & Tyacke, 2011), judging from the length of the crossbar, with long narrow wings, and the form of its junction with the bow, at the head where there is a perforation for a stud, and a circular plate bow with a central perforation, again missing its stud. There are two slight projections or knops on either side of the disc plate, which might have held studs, creating a cruciform shape typical of the Cornish Type 31, but the thin and flat plate is not typical of the type. The fantail foot…

Silver reduced siliqua, of the period AD 360 to 367 (Reece Periods 18-19), possibly of Jovian (c.AD 363-364). Reverse: VOT/V/MVLT/X within wreath type. For possible type see RIC VIII, Arles, no. 331. This reverse type was struck for Jovian, Valentinian I and Valens. Altough the obverse legend appears to read [ ] IOV[ ] it could just be D N V[ ] so the coin might be Valentinianic.

Incomplete cast copper alloy Roman hinged dolphin-type brooch, missing one wing and the hinge and pin, as well as the foot and catchplate. There is a small fragment of the copper alloy spindle visible within the tubular wing. Some of the surface of the wing remains on the outside and retains two sets of parallel transverse incised lines. The head of the brooch has a central raised moulded square which extends vertically down the bow into a lozenge-shape which tapers into a neck and then expands into a rounded terminal. The terminal appears zoomorphic because a chip has been broken off…

Silver Republican denarius with most of the original surface now missing, and some corrosion product which appears as raised pellets and curved lines which suggest that the surface may have been exposed to some heat in the past. The coin is too worn to be able to identify it within this period and likely dates from c.211-27 BC.

Silver Republican denarius with only four letters left on the obverse NIVS and a bare head facing right with curly hair and no beard and a defined angular mark at the base of the neck. So perhaps it is a denarius with the head and legend of Marcus Antonius, or Mark Antony (83-30 BC), but must date from at least the time of the Second Triumvirate with Octavian, established in 43 BC. The closest parallels that the recorder can find are on coins from the east, c.32-31 BC, with small lettering behind the head, and the best example of these is illustrated in BMC, Republic III (1970) on Pla…

Cast lead fishing weight, lozenge-shaped in plan, plano-convex in profile and triangular in section, with tapering ends, which have been pinched and perforated with ovoid holes to suspend the sting at either end, around the protruding rectangular knops. This weight was most likely tied into fishing nets, due to its size and shape, and these are commonly found in Cornwall, but are difficult to date.

Cast copper alloy leg from a small cauldron or large skillet, sub-triangular in plan and plano-convex in section. The attachment to the vessel body still remains, and the leg then tapers evenly to the foot which is worn to a rounded end. Three wide ridges remain on the outer face of the leg, varying in width, which terminate at the transverse collar which divides the leg from the foot. The foot would have originally also been ridged, but it is now so worn it has lost its claw-like terminal. The centre of the outer face of the foot still projects outwards, however, representing the arc…

The frame has an inner and outer border with an interlaced, openwork, floral design. The outer border has a row of single stamped annulets and the inner border is like a mask with two eyelets on either side of a central rosette. There is evidence of tinning on the upper surface of th…
