A complete cast iron nail of uncertain date. The head of the nail is square in plan with a rectangular section. The stem has a square section and tapers towards a worn point. The stem is bent roughly half way along its length. Due to the lack of any diagnostic features and the loss of patination it is not possible to date this object any more closely. The metal is is a mid reddish-brown colour and is very worn. The nail is 21.8mm long, 10.8mm wide and weighs 2.2g. A similar example can be seen in SWYOR-828347.

An iron unidentified object of uncertain date. The object is L shaped in plan. One terminal has a crude knop, which then expands out towards a corner before extending forwards to form the second arm. The arm with the knop is D shaped in cross section, while the other arm is broadly lenticular in cross section. A short projection is situated on the outer edge of the upper arm, towards the corner. It is difficult to discern if the terminals end in breaks, but due to their uneven edges it is likely. The object is heavily corroded, with a brown-orange patina on the surface. The inner surf…

An incomplete iron knife of uncertain date. The knife is sub-triangular and the tang is on the same line as the cutting edge. The back of the blade is straight though much has been lost to worn breaks and corrosion. Dr Kevin Leahy, Finds Advisor for Early-Medieval metal work, comments that the tang on the same line as the cutting edge is an odd feature not paralleled in the works of Cowgill (Medieval), Goodall (Medieval), Manning (Roman) or Drinkall and Foreman (Early Medieval). The straight back to the knife suggests a likely Roman or Early-Medieval date for this object. The…
