White metal, possible ingot. Cast oval lump with an impressed oval panel on both sides. These incorporate possibly drilled or countersunk depressions at one end, and three parallel linear features and one similar line at right angles to them at the opposite end of one panel. The material may be silver or a lead or copper alloy. The mass may represent one (slightly overweight) quarter of a Roman or later averdepois ounce. Several similar objects of varied weights were reported from the vicinity. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 850-1100 Length: 18.7mm, Width: 15.1mm, Thickness: 5.7…

A lead artefact, probably a standing weight of Early Medieval to Post Medieval date, about AD 700 - 1900. It is in the form of a very narrow pyramid, having a rectangular base, and four sides, two broad and two narrow, all tapering to a flattened apex. There is a U shaped groove, somewhat off centre, in the apex, though this may be later damage and not an original feature. It is possible there was once a loop at the top. The base is hollow, probably caused as the lead cooled, and one corner is chamfered, probably through damage. The weight is 18.90mm long, 10.84mm wide and 21.57mm hig…

Workflow stage: Published
A white metal finger ring. The shape of the finger-ring is distorted, presumably as the result of agricultural activity while it was in the ground. The band of this finger ring has a rectangular cross-section. It is constructed from one length of silver wire which is bent round to form the band and then the ends overlap and curl around the band forming two slip knots. Dimensions: length: 23.21mm; width: 21.21mm; thickness of band: 1.76mm; weight: 2.70g. Discussion: Finger rings of a similar knotted design, but of either round section or strip, have been commonly found in Viking …

Lead weight. Discoid weight, perhaps intended to represent one (under-weight) averdepois ounce. The mass is closer to the early medieval ora/ore, which might permit the possibility of a Viking or Anglo-Scandinavian date. Patinated overall. Suggested date: Early Medieval to Medieval, 850-1350. Diameter: 24.1mm, Thickness: 6.67mm, Weight: 24.3gms.

A copper alloy Early Medieval domed disc brooch. The brooch has a diameter of 26.1mm and is 8.5mm thick. It has a plain border and a design in relief of a Jellinge-style animal with interlace. On the reverse the double pin lug and catchplate survive, and there is another projecting lug which is too corroded to see if it was pierced. The pin does not survive. The brooch is in very good condition and has a deep green patina with lighter areas of slight corrosion. The brooch probably dates from the later part of the Early Medieval period; 850 - 1066 AD. Jane Kershaw has identified thi…

Scandinavian copper alloy disc brooch. The brooch is decorated with an openwork Jellinge-style design of an interlacing animal (see NMS-7446E3 and ESS-4D7A85 for other examples of this style).

A gold finger ring of Viking Age date, c. 875-950. The ring consists of a triple coil of thick, lozenge-section wire and the front and sides are decorated all along the ridge with punched back-to-back crescents, and small triangles at the tapering ends. The ends are drawn into thin wires wound vertically round the coil in eight turns at the back of the hoop. One of the ends appears to have been broken while in the ground and minor re-alignment of the windings was undertaken by the finder after the ring had been through the Treasure process for the first time.

Treasure case No: 2004 T484 Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum indicated an approximate silver content for the ingot fragment of 91%; it weighs 17.14 grams. The fragment has been cut, possibly with a chisel, from one end of a blunt-ended, bar-shaped ingot of rounded trapezoidal section; length, 20 mm; width, 11 mm. It would have been cast in a simple, open-topped mould cut in soft stone, or possibly drawn in the earth. There appear to be a few worn nicks, or testing marks, made probably with the point of a knife in one of the top edges; there are also scratch marks…

Viking silver finger-ring. Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum indicated an approximate silver content for the ring of 98%, the remainder being copper with small amounts of gold. The ring consists of two plain rods and two finely twisted wires twisted together and tapering at the back, where they are hammered together. The form is a miniature version of Viking-period gold and silver neck and armrings of around the 10th-11th centuries, like those from Skaill, Orkney, and Wipholm, Germany; and this type of ring appears to have continued in use somewhat later in…
