Copper alloy strap end from the Early Medieval period. The strap end shows a zoomorphic decoration in a panel, although the object is corroded and this is difficult to distinguish. The terminal is also zoomorphic with a squared snout. At the broken end of the object a curved, incised line is visible, probably the bottom of a trilobate design. The object shows similarities to a strap end from South Newbald; figure 6.3.5 in the Leahy's 'Middle Anglo-Saxon Metalwork from South Newbald' in Geake and Kenny (2000).

Copper alloy Anglo-Saxon strap end, probably of 9th Century date. Incomplete and damaged, so unable to interpret decorative scheme (which could be an angular zoomorphic design, or a pattern). The design is outlined, probably with enamel, some of which survives as a white border around parts of the design. The terminal appears to be in the form of an animal head, but is poor and corroded/damaged. (Ref K Leahy in 'Early Deira' Geake & Kenny Eds. Oxbow, 2000 p57-60).

A Post Medieval copper alloy S-shaped clasp (mid 16th - early 17th century). This clasp has been cast s-shape with a central multiply knopped band with foliate fringe to both sides, from which a longtidinally grooved neck with a dragon-headed terminal emerges. The moulding is on both faces. One loop of the s-shape is larger than the other. A very similar parallel is illustrated in Egan (2005:47) no. 172, however that example is incomplete with one dragon-headed terminal missing.
