An incomplete unidentified cast copper alloy object, of unknown date. It is flat and fairly even, with a longer stem that terminates in a curved 'T' shape. The bottom of the T is curved, and the sides terminate at a point, and are cocave as the edge goes back to the stem. It has been slightly bent.

A fragment of a cast copper-alloy unknown object, possibly of Iron Age or Roman date. The fragment consists of a flat band of metal, which is decorated on one side with incised curvilinear decoration of three concentric lines, followed by a horizontal line or series of small incised dots. The other surface is undecorated. It is possible this fragment is part of a bracelet or other item of adornment, however too little of the object remains for a positive identification. As the object is found in a location where a large quantity of Iron Age and Roman objects were found, it is possi…

County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of unidentified object of uncertain date, measuring 14.30x13.05x2.50mm and weighing 1.79g. The object is openwork and square in shape, with a U-shaped inward projection on two opposing sides, creating an openwork-H at the centre. To one of the other edges is a broken stump, 3.74x2.50mm. The fragment is just possibly from a Late Early-Medieval (900-1100) copper alloy slide key for use with a padlock, of type C variant, consisting of the bit and small stump of stem only, but not enough survives to give a more certain identification.

Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An undatable (Late Iron Age to Post-Medieval) copper alloy multi-purpose ring, circular in cross-section . It measures 34.86x34.43mm in 'diameter' (internal c.25mm) and weighs 13.65g. It has a smooth dark green patina. Rings like these are numerous and would have been multi-purpose, eg.for hanging keys from a belt etc. As this example is rather more robust it may have had use with harness. It appears out of shape in places, suggesting it has been pulled on by a heavy weight.
