Late Anglo-Saxon brooch made from cast lead. The face bears a motif consisting of a triqueta, its three arms made up of two raised lines their ends terminating in pairs of opposed scrolls surrounding pellets. In the centre of the disc is a single pellet and, around its edge, is a ring of pellets. The brooch is crushed and no trace of remains of the pin and clip. On the back of the brooch is a series of scratches which could, with the eye of faith, be interpreted as the stern of a ship, with two steering oars a mast and a yard.

A cast lead-alloy brooch of early-medieval date and nummular type, probably dating from the 9th-11th centuries. The brooch is circular in shape, with a wide flat border. The central area is raised to create a stepped-up inner section, which is also circular and flat. This area is hollow on the reverse. The rim of the brooch is decorated with a continuous run of small inward pointing lines. Adjacent to this are a series of raised triangles, each one pointing to the edge of the brooch. Each triangle has been further decorated with three parallel raised lines. The central raised area fea…

Lead or lead alloy plate brooch fragment. Cast brooch with curvilinear beaded moulded decoration, to this reporter describing a triskele with opposed curls at the end of each of its arms around a central pellet, or perhaps as a running spiral motif. This appears to imitate the decoration of an Early Anglo-Saxon saucer brooch, which is not a common object class in the Humber region, though later brooches resembling this form are known (e.g. Weetch Type 6, dated to 900-1000; a similar brooch with central inset was reported from Lurk Lane, Beverley as a probably residual Viking Age find b…
