The fragment measures 22.99mm in length, 19.41mm in width, 13.10mm in thickness and 17.57g in weight. This is probably a fragment of metal working debris, although it is plausible that it may have been part of a cooking vessel of Medieval or later date. It has clearly been exposed to high temperatures or fire and is of uncertain Bronze Age or later date.

A fragment of cast copper alloy, probable casting waste, of uncertain dating (2150 BC to 1700 AD). However, due to the lack of context and continuation of casting styles, this fragment could be dated from the Bronze Age through to the Post Medieval Period (c.2150 BC - 1700 AD). The fragment is irregular in plan and cross section. It has an irregular, rough surface. It is a mid to dark green colour. An even patina covers the surface. It measures 49.21mm in length, 40.37mm wide and 6.65mm thick. It weighs 16.1 grams. In appearance, the fragment does display some similar…

A corroded, probably incomplete cast copper-alloy rod of uncertain date and function. The rod has a square cross-section and terminates in a square pyramid (8.0mm by 7.15mm by 6.0mm) at one end. The other end has been bent to one side and suffered a break as a result of old damage. The terminal of the pyramid is rounded (blunted) and the piece is worn and has corroded to a variable mid-green colour.

Object type: PENDANT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy pendant of uncertain date. The pendant has a circular suspension loop, 5.3mm in diamter, below which two arms emerge horizontally before bending through 90 degrees after 10.4mm to create a half rectangular frame. The arms are decorated with a moulded hatch design and terminate in rounded knops. The remains of an iron pin emerge from the inside on both arms suggesting there was once a bar connecting them on which something was suspended. It is uncertain whether this is pendent was for use on a horse harness or for another function. The Pendant is 21.6mm lon…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
Cylindrical copper alloy ingot with circular cross-section. The object gently tapers from a wider end terminating in a flat angled surface to a rounded, slightly narrower, opposite end. On the wider end there is a small area of abrasion where material was removed for testing by a jeweller before the object was submitted as Treasure. The surface of the object is pitted and slightly worn. X-ray fluorescence analysis of the surface identified the metal as an alloy of copper with a few percent of zinc, lead, and tin. There was no detectable precious metal content. The object does no…

Object type: HAMMERSTONE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An undatable Hammerstone formed on a rounded flint nodule, measuring 53.71x40.25x39.22mm and weighing 108g. Just over half of the nodule has had the cortex removed, although this does survive at one (rounded) end. There are areas of use wear (battering) at the other end and along the sides, with unused areas also on the sides where the object was held in use. This object is probably prehistoric, but such stones have also been found in later contexts (e.g. Roman) and it is difficult to be certain of the date. Date: Prehistoric (Mesolithic to Bronze Age) - c 8300 - 800 BC.

County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of undatable whetstone, roughly rectangular in shape and cross-section. It measures 31.59x24.70x22.10mm and weighs 32.2g. It is made from a mica rich, fine grained and dense stone with irregular breaks. The whetstone is broken at both short ends. The faces are much smoother than the broken ends and have rounded corners. It is these which were probably used for resharpening blades of knives, scythes, axes and other tools. All the faces have cut marks on them. Stray finds of whetstones are notoriously difficult to date and only very few found out of context can be dated t…

A cast copper alloy object of uncertain function and date. The object is hollow cast and partially filled with what appears to be iron. The object consists of a central, sub oval, shaft filled with the iron, which terminates in an old break. Two arms emerge from the bottom of the shaft, one of similar dimension to the shaft the other much thinner. The thinner of the two is has a flat, rectangular cross section and terminates in a rounded flattened knop at 45 degrees from the arm. The other arm is more oval in cross section and terminates in three pointed protrusions, each facing a dif…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead weight of uncertain date. The weight would originally have been conical in shape with a base diameter of just less than 21.00mm. The weight now has two parallel sides forming a sub-rectangular shaped base suggesting that it has become squashed under it's own weight, a problem that lead objects are prone to as a result of the material properties, being soft but heavy, characteristic of lead. The artefact is 21.70mm high and has the remains of an iron suspension loop at the tip of the weight. This object weighs 27.59g (0.97oz). It is not possible to date these weights precisely w…

Two circular cast lead alloy disc weights of uncertain date. Both weights have an incised cross with smaller diagonal lines projecting the same direction from each arm on one face, possibly representing windmill sails and an incised 'V' on the other. 1) 30.6mm in diameter, 3.9mm in thickness and 18.27g, 2) 28.6mm in diameter, 2.9mm in thickness and 13.44g.

A complete Unidentified cast lead object of Unknown date. This object is a flat disc, sub-circular in plan. On side has a raised rim and the surface has lines of punched marks in the form of small arcs. The opposite face is flat and has ten punched marks in the form of dots. These do not form a recognisable pattern. Both faces have a deep brown patina which is lost in places. Maximum diameter: 31.4mm; thickness: 4.0mm. Weight: 49.26g.
