Late Bronze Age gold pendant: one end of a slightly bent round-sectioned shank has been hammered into a D-sectioned loop, while the other expands into a conical terminal on which another object may have swivelled. Formerly described as probably Roman, it has been reassigned, by Caroline Barton and Ben Roberts of the British Museum, to the Late Bronze Age on the basis of its similarity to a copper alloy example in the Boughton Malherbe (Kent) hoard (PAS KENT-15A293). Length 34mm. Width of loop 5.5mm. Diameter of shank 2 - 1.5mm. Diameter of terminal 3mm. Weight 1.89g. 9th century BC.

This coin is a Merovingian tremissis of the mint-and moneyer type, of the period AD 580-670. The reverse inscription is illegible, but the obverse inscription shows that it was minted in, or possibly imitating, the town of Quentovic (Etaples, Pas-de-Calais). Quentovic was a major mint, and a major port, and finds from Quentovic are not unusual as finds in England, but the crude style makes it possible that this is a contemporary imitation minted elsewhere.
