An incomplete iron T-clamp and rove, possibly dating to the Roman period. The object comprises a square-sectioned nail with a Type 3, T-shaped head, the end of which is peened onto a heavily curved rover or washer, which tapers to points at each end. This would have been used to join two pieces of wood, one of which was flat, the other heavily curved. Manning (1985, 133-4) suggests that these types of fastenings were used in ship construction but identical rivets can be seen on the scythes from Newstead, whilst Goodall (1980, Fig. 76) shows similar fittings on a medieval well cover.

An incomplete iron T-shaped clamp of uncertain date. The clamp comprises two rectangular-section bars which have been welded together and forged into a tapering rectangular-section shaft with a corroded top. At one end, they have been bent outwards to form a T-shaped head which is broken. The clamp measures 91mm in length, 54mm in width and weighs 61g.

An incomplete iron T-shaped clamp dating to the Roman or medieval period. The clamp possesses a tapering square-sectioned shaft, corroded and broken at the tip, with a head at the other end formed of a curving semi-circular rectangular-sectioned strip with pointed tips. Unlike other T-clamps from the site, this has a heavily curved head, indicating that it was used to secure a curved piece of wood in place. Manning (1985, 132) suggests that curved examples such as this are more likely to have been used in vehicles, such as wagons, than structures, but identical rivets can be seen on t…

A complete Post Medieval copper-alloy medical tool dating to the 17th century. The object consists of two identical arms, which are separately formed, connected together with a single iron rivet at the top of the handles. The handles of the forceps have a flat inner side and concave front. They taper, becoming cylindrical and have a globular terminal on the end. At the widest end above the rivet, on both of the arms, there is a slight groove followed by a second groove forming a constriction. The arm then protrudes outwards creating a semi-circle, which with the two arms joint togethe…

A collection of 18 possible joiner's dogs, 5 of which are U-shaped with 3 sides and 13 are L-shaped with 2 sides remaining. 14 are surface finds. Just a selection are shown in the image. They measure from 59.3mm long down to 17.5mm. Ulrich (2007 57) notes that 'the dog is a metal device, usually of iron, that acts as a clamp or cleat to steady a wooden workpiece on the surface of a workbench. Similar in appearance to a large staple, one leg of the dog is anchored in a hole in the workbench while the other grips the wood'. They were also used to hold two pieces of wood together whilst …

Lead Possible Clamp. Cast lead object of plano-convex section, tapering from a possibly central flat area and a raised rectangular rib standing 14.7mm proud to a possibly rounded terminal; it appears possible there was a second arm of this form (now lost). The object forms a semicircle of an estimated 50mm diameter, with the convex surface inwards. A circular impression of diameter 5.7mm may be stamped into the outer circumference. The Roman numerals X R are stamped into one side of the upstanding rib; the numerals stand 3mm high. A function related to the furnishing of a buil…

The clamp has a long stem which is sub-trapezoidal in shape. The surface is irregular which is probably due to corrosion. The terminal is rounded, however it is uncertain whether this is the original terminal or not. The opposite terminal flares outwards forming a sub-triangular shape which could develop forming the 'T' shape. The edges are too distorted to say whether this occurred or not. At this terminal are traces of mortar and orange tile powder.
