Two copper alloy possible polyhedral weight. They are basically a cylindrical shape but are faceted unevenly on all sides. All of the faces have a pattern of parallel lines on them. Their weight fits neither the Scandinavian nor Dublin Viking unit weight systems, inspite of this similar shaped weights have been found at various sites of the Viking Great Army camps, see Hadley and Richards (2021) and British Museum accession number 2006.1203.104, dated to 9th century AD. Such shapes are also seen on for example pin heads (BM 1985.1101.11…

An unidentified, copper alloy artefact, possibly an incomplete girdle hanger of Early Medieval date, AD 400 - 600. It is a bar of copper alloy, of rectangular cross-section at one end, and tapering to a circular sectioned rod and then a point at the other end. The rectangular part of the bar is decorated with stamped marks on all four sides. These are crescents in a row along each face. The wide end is broken, either across a circular hole or across a point of bifurcation. It is is 77.1mm long, 5.6mm wide and 3.1mm thick. It weighs 7.8g. It has a light green patina.

A copper alloy anthropomorphic artefact of probable Early Medieval date, AD 400 - 600. It is a sub-triangular shape in plan with a straight (but broken) top, parallel upper sides, and lower sides that taper inwards to a rounded end. The front is moulded into a human face with a plain forehead, bulbous eyes in rounded concave areas, an angular projecting nose, and curved lines running from the base of the nose up around the eye sockets. An oval dimple in the pointed end may be intended as a mouth, or may be damage. The face is convex and three dimensional. The reverse is …

A folded fragment of lead alloy. It could be an offcut that has been folded over, or a failed or crushed fishing weight. It has been found in association with other lead pieces and may be part of a collection which it was intended to recast. It was found in association with other early medieval pieces and has thus been dated to that period. Dimensions: It is 25mm long and 10mm wide, 7mm high and weighs 10g

A copper alloy possible polyhedral weight. It is basically a cylindrical shape but is faceted unevenly on all sides. Half of the faces have a pattern of parallel lines on them. Overall it has an even white patina, and is thus probably mainly made of lead alloy. The weight fits neither the Scandinavian nor Dublin Viking unit weight systems. Similar shaped weights have been found at various sites of the Viking Great Army camps, see Hadley and Richards (2021) and British Museum accession number 2006.1203.104, dated to 9th century AD.

Description: Fragment of gold sheet, probably of the Anglo-Saxon period. The bend is almost at right angles. To one side of the angle, one face is decorated; a triplet of straight grooved lines, the central one minimally wider, starts close to a finished straight edge and runs to a break. The lines are flanked on either side by a scatter of punched annulets (about 1mm in diameter), part-annulets and large dots. On the other side of the angle, the sheet is undecorated, although it has bends which may have formed a loose corrugation. It has a short length of original edge which mee…
