Undatable copper alloy probable casting sprue. It is oval in shape, measuring 37.4x26.6mm and is max.17.7mm thick (at the centre). It weighs 50.14g. The underside is rough and uneven while the opposite surface is rounded and smooth. At the centre, longitudinally, is a 22.5mm long scar, which would presuambly have fed into the mould.

A large lump of copper, it's rounded appearence suggests it has cooled from molton metal in a crucible or other mould. One side is almost flat, the top is domed and the sides rounded, it may originally have been oval as it appears to have been cut on one face, the cut is now worn. It may have been made on site or have been carried here for metal working. It is difficult to give this item an exact date although study of the composition might help, a date of Bronze Age - post-medieval has thus been given although it is likely to sit within the earlier part of this range. It is 38.8mm l…

Copper alloy casting jet with stubs of two runners. The jet is flat topped, roughly circular with a domed lower part. While such jets are commonly the result of socketed axe production in the Late Bronze Age they can also be as late as the ost medieval period. It is 36.0 by 31.2mm and 17.6mm thick excluding the runners, 21.5mm including them; the runners are c.8mm in diameter at the base amd it weighs 69 grams.

Selection of casting waste and metal working debries made of copper alloy including sprues, mis-cast pieces, a large rough cast piece with many air bubbles that may come from a crucible, several solid cast triangular pieces, probably sprues and a rectangular bar marked into sections with incised lines. The pieces may relate to one period of activity or to several periods. None are distinctinve in age although the the bar appears possibly Post Medieval or Modern while the rough cast piece appears possibly older. It was not possible in the time to record all the pieces seperately but th…

A copper-alloy casting sprue of uncertain date. It is circular in shape with a conical profile and slightly concave flat front face. From the back of the sprue extends a sub-triangular prong, a second corresponding prong now missing due to old breaks. The entire object measures 22.37mm in height, 20.52mm in diameter, and weighs 25.02g. This is a sprue resultant from the casting of copper-alloy. It is of uncertain date ranging from the Bronze Age through to Post-Medieval periods, although finds from the same site may indicate a possible Roman date.

Lump or 'cake' of copper alloy metal working debris. The lump has a flat base, mishapen sides and a rounded top with a sub-circular depression roughly in the centre. Such objects are often indicative of Bronze Age metalworking. However, due to their basic form and consequent lack of diagnostic features they are largely undateable, unless found in association with other dateable objects. Width: 36.22, Thickness: 25.8 Weight: 107g

Late Bronze Age to Medieval copper alloy casting sprue, weighing 17.6g. It consists of a rough textured, oval sectioned mouth (23x12mm), which narrows to a D-shaped in section stem (being curved to one face), 16x14x6.75mm. This is snapped at its base and a jagged edge is apparent below. To one side of the main trunk is a flat-sectioned projection of metal, c.15x14x1.51mm, with a torn and jagged edge. The curved side of the object is smooth whereas the other side is rough. Measures 26.91x35.46mm.

Probably Late Bronze Age bronze/ copper alloy casting sprue, weighing 28.5g. It is shaped like a funnel and smooth around the edges, while rough on top (at the ‘open’ end). This end measures 26.02x16.86mm. The casting sprue stands 22.52mm with a (old) break at the other end, 17.02x5.76mm. This break is D-shaped in section, as is the trunk of the sprue (which is parallel sided).

Copper alloy This object was originally suggested to be a possible Mount, from furniture or a box of Roman date. Peter Reavill kindly offers an alternative identification of the object as a casting well with runners from an episode of metalworking dating from between Later Prehistory (circa 1500 BC) to the end of the Roman period. The object was described as follows: Cast oval plano-convex object with a pair of angled lugs projecting from its upper surface. Other surface irregularities may represent further elements of a decorative scheme, though the abraded and knobbly surface …

A lump of solidified molton copper. It has a flat base and a domed top. It has been cut on two, opposite sides; one is a straighter, clean cut; and there is evidence of sooting to three sides. The object is 32.8mm long, 20.5mmwide and 17.8mm thick. It weighs 47.71gms. This was part of either a small ingot or a lump of molton copper formed in something like a crucible. It was probably carried in this form from elsewhere as travelling metal workers and traders would often carry lumps of metal around for forming on the site where objects were needed. It's lack of distincive form makes i…
