A fragment of twisted gold wire of uncertain date and function, most likely part of an earring or other item of jewellery. The wire originally had a square cross section and has been twisted along most of its length and bent into an S-shape. There is a short section of around 10mm on the outside of the larger bend which appears not to have been twisted; this may be an original feature relating to the function of the object, perhaps suggestive of a suspension loop.

Lead possible cable or wire fragment. A short tube comprising an outer skin of lead sheet of thickness 1.5mm with a loosely butted seam, but incorporating two tiny rounded conduits of diameter 2mm within. This might be apt to serve as an insulating jacket around two strands of an electric cable of conductive material. The metal retains a grey tint, though its shiny surface may arise from treatment by the finder. Suggested date: Modern, 1900-1950 Length: 20.6mm, Diameter: 10.3mm, Weight: 8.59gms

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy fragment of a coiled wire of possible Roman date (AD 320 - 450). The object is composed of one strand tightly coiled around itself looped back as a central strand. The individual strand has a circular cross section of 1.34 mm diameter. The fragment has two links present, connected by two (non-detachable) loops of copper-alloy wire. One loop is small and circular, the other larger, elongated and drop-shaped. The breaks at the end of each link are old and worn. There are some similarities to the wire in Crummy, 39, 1610. Length: 45.93 mm. Thickness: 5.05 mm. Weight 2.4 g
