Cast iron agricultural tool, probably a billhook of uncertain date. The object has a long rectangular-sectioned handle and a wide curved hook. The end of the hook is rounded. The object is covered in an orange-brown corrosion which obscures any details. Billhooks were used from the Bronze Age to the present day with little change to the form of the object. It is therefore very difficult to date however the corrosion indicates that it is pre 1700s.

A small iron object of uncertain form, probably agricultural in nature, and highly corroded and encrusted. It is circular in section with two prongs forming a U-shaped plan, with a further short prong extending backwards from one end. The precise form and function of the original object are uncertain due to the poor preservation of the object and the extensive encrustation covering all surfaces. The fragment measures 31.73mm in length, 34.24mm in width, 9.81mm in thickness, and weighs 18.48g. This object is probably agricultural in nature but is of uncertain Roman or later date.
