A 16th century silver huntman's whistle, now full of soil and incomplete and damaged at the mouth piece end. This whistle is cut from silver sheet and soldered; it is cylindrical and increases in diameter from the mouth-piece to the open end. Two wire collars divide the whistle into three sections; the upper section has a mouth-piece with a damaged sound hole. The central section is decorated with diagonal ribs. The lower section is undecorated but its circular end has an applied rim of filigree wire. There is a damaged suspension loop on the underside of the whistle.

This is a small lead figurine of a cockerel standing 36mm high, cast in the round from a two-piece mould. Its tail is typically displayed, and from its lower hind quarters there proceeds a hollow tube of lead which is circular or ovate in section. The cockerel's feet stand on a rounded base, part of which is broken away to reveal that the whole casting is hollow, and was perhaps once stoppered below the base. The pipe or tube described above is half-round hollow (in the upper half) but filled with lead in the lower or under part of the tube. The cockerel's body surface is covered with …

An incomplete Post Medieval copper alloy whistle dating to circa AD 1700-1900. The whistle is cylindrical with a bottleneck terminal with flat-topped knop or lug which would likely have been utilised in suspension. The body of the whilst is circular sectioned and hollow. It terminates in a worn and jagged break but would have contained two opposed circular perforations or rectangular slot on one side from which compressed air could escape creating the pitch. Similar examples can be seen recorded under SWYOR-FE25B1 and DYFED-639E1C Diameter: 16.7mm; Height; 51.1m; Weight: 14.22g.

A complete lead alloy post-medieval or modern whistle. It is cylindrical in shape with a wider flat disc attached to the outer end and a rounded raised collar around the centre. One side of the inner end curves inwards and has a separate section attached across it to create a mouthpiece. It survives in good condition, but where the surface of the metal has been scratched a silvery surface has been revealled. Small pewter whistles like this one are common finds and may have had a variety of functions, although they are often referred to as 'hawking whistles' because some were no dou…

A sheet copper-alloy whistle of probable Post-Medieval date. It is formed from a single sheet of copper-alloy folded to give the whistle a tubular form that has been partially flattened due to post-depositional damage. The mouthpiece is flattened on its base to produce a D-shaped aperture with D-shaped sound hole on the upper surface of the whistle above. On the upper surface of the mouthpiece there is incised decoration comprising a single transverse grooved border from which multiple longitudinal grooves run to the sound hole. The main body of the whistle has additional incised deco…

A slender, tubular cast copper-alloy fragment, possibly from a whistle. It was cast in two halves, as the joining line can be easily seen, and its interior is hollow. There are traces of red pigment on the exterior surfaces, so it is probable that it had been painted. It therefore has patches of dark brown-red, where the paint has survived, and patches of a dark grey-green patina, common to copper-alloy objects. It was possibly used as a hawking whistle. Its remaining length is 32mm, with a diameter of 4mm, and a weight of 2.97g. At one end, it has been pressed and closed, into …
