Original identification (with the object type 'Personal Ornament'): Copper-alloy pendant, possibly of a 'Thor's Hammer' type. The object comprises a flat-sectioned, axe-shaped pendant. There is a perforation with iron inclusions at the top of the narrow 'axe base', this being the area located behind the flared edge of the axehead. The face is decorated with semicircles with dots in the centre. The reverse is not decorated.
Helen Geake writes: An alternative identification for this object is that it is the repaired foot of a small-long brooch. The foot may have broken off, been ti…

Cast copper alloy brooch, probably the incomplete terminal of a cruciform brooch. The object comprises a zoomorphic terminal showing a stylised snout and eyes. Coming up from this terminal are two broken tags showing probable moulded bands of ridge and pellet decoration. Moving further up the central body of the brooch terminal are two further broken tags, one of which is more extended; this is right-angled in plan, and may once have connected to the tag below it, creating an openwork motif on the brooch.

A fragment of an Anglo-Saxon long Brooch, consisting of the curved bow, with part of what is probably the catchplate on the reverse. It consists of a roughly rectangular plate (4.6mm thick) curved in section and broken at both ends. Each end has a flat panel and there is a fragment of flat footplate or headplate at one end. This has a ridge on the reverse, right next to the start of the bow, which is a more common place to find a catchplate; this would identify the flat area as part of the footplate. Decoration on the bow consists of a simple horizontal ridge and two horizontal dividi…

A cast copper alloy knop from a 6th Century Anglo-Saxon brooch. Only the single knop survives.
The knop is D-shaped in profile and has become detached from the main body of the brooch. The profile of the knop is very elaborate. It is formed from a double collar, which then tapers inwards, before tapering out again into a cone, the cone then terminates with a collar. There is a central circular perforation through the centre of the knop.
The fragment is worn and is a pitted mid brownish-green colour.
Similar brooch knops can be seen in West et al, 1998, p90 and p240, fig: 122, 7-11.

A fragment of a cast copper alloy cruciform brooch. This small piece includes the eyes, eyebrows and snout. Jim Halliday suggests that this may be the portion of the brooch between the bow and the catchplate. Part of a similar artefact was found on the same site in 2004 and it is possible that they two fragments may be from the same brooch. This artefact dates to the 6th or 7th century.

A cast copper alloy cruciform brooch of the 6th or 7th century. This is a fine piece, apparently well-made and in good condition. The brooch has a good dark green patina. The brooch was incomplete until recently, when the finders located the ‘head’.

The brooch is very regular in shape, and slightly convex in section through the body (the reverse is slightly hollow along its length). The head is a rough square, with decoration set in from the slightly concave si…

A cast copper alloy long brooch. The brooch is almost complete, lacking only the pin and a small portion of the ‘head’; the catchplate is also broken. The brooch is fairly basic in design, and not very symmetrical along its centre line. The head is decorated with pairs of lines along the edges of the ‘cross’; inside these lines are lines of V-shaped stamps; in the centre of the head may be the remains of a group of ring-and-dots. This brooch probably dates to the 7th or 8th century, and may represent a disturbed grave.

A fragment of a cruciform brooch of early-medieval date. The fragment is the projecting knop either from the wing or top of the head of a cruciform brooch. From what would be the front of the brooch the knop appears bulbous with a slightly pointed top. Opposite this point the knop narrows before extending into a double collar. From the reverse however the knop is concaved and the collared area flat.
The metal is a dark brownish-green colour and is worn. The knop is 10.9mm long, 8.8mm wide, 5.3mm thick and weighs 1.5g.
A similar example can be seen in EAA 84, p.164, fig.47, no.15.
