Copper alloy unidentified object. A narrow straight-sided strip with a drilled rivet hole of diameter 1.7mm towards one end and possibly broken across a further hole at the other. The rivet hole may hint at a medieval date. A function associated with a strap or as a strap fitting might be implied by its narrow form. Suggested date: possibly Medieval, 1250-1400 Length: 29mm, Width: 6.6mm, Thickness: 0.7mm, Weight: 0.77gms

Copper alloy unidentified object. A rectangular sheet metal plate with a series of closely spaced [8 per cm] fine grooves of length 15mm extending from one straight edge, and with faint traces of grooves and a split in the opposite side. Probably for a craft usage. Marks of this form on bones have been associated with the making of pins, on ‘pinner’s bones’, though at a larger scale. Similar close spacing is also seen on comb teeth, so this object might have figured in the cutting of comb teeth – small one-piece bone combs for beards and moustaches are known fro…

An unidentified object which is a possible fragment from a lead vessel or pot of uncertain date. The fragment is irregular but broadly triangulat in shape and sub oval in plan. One surface is convex and the other slightly convex. It is slightly thicker at one end, with old and worn breaks on the non "rim" sides. The rim itself is thicker than the rest of the fragment suggesting that it comes from a curved vessel. The outer surface has a coarse surface with a grey coloration with occasional brown and lighter grey patches across the…

A fragment of a copper alloy object, possibly a locking arm of a Medieval double loop 'locking buckle' (c. AD 1350-1450). The object is 24.54mm high and has a sub-rectangular cross section. There is a break at the top. The object tapers from 4.45mm wide and 4.09mm thick near the break, to 2.84mm wide and 3.09mm thick near the bottom of the shaft, before expanding to a maximum 4.08mm wide and 5.48mm thick on the lozengiform foot or knop. The object has a largely dull, dark grey patina with some cream coloured sections and small patches of possible white metal coating. The…

A complete copper alloy ball of probable Post-Medieval date (AD 1550-1900). The object is composed of a sphere of copper-alloy, with dark green glossy patina and minor surface pitting.  The object’s function is unclear but could be a Gaming Piece or Ball Bearing. Diameter: 12.4mm, Weight: 8.60 g The metal is dark green with a smooth patina. Due to the lack wear marks, it seems more likely that this might be a Post-Medieval gaming piece.  Compare: BH-DBB686, NLM-56E8F6, SUR-2CE255 and SWYOR-CF23D7.

A copper-alloy object of probable Roman date. The object is a single cast piece. There is a thin, broken, sub-oval plate, with ring and dot decoration. The plate tapers at one end and widens to a square sectioned stem. This stem is bent over to lie flush with the decorated side of the plate. The front of the stem is decorated with a series of Xs.

A cross shaped lead alloy moulding of uncertain purpose. The tapering long arm ends in a blunt point and is slightly bent halfway down, damage rather than intentional. The other end of this is terminated with a moulded in, overhanging circluar shape, wider than the arms and bent over in places around its circumference. The two short arms emanate from a point about 1/4 of the way down the long arm. These are circular in section (as is the long arm) but splay out slightly towards the blunt ends.

Copper alloy object, possibly the goad terminal of a Medieval prick spur. The terminal end has a flat-tipped pyramidal shape with a circular recess at the apex. At the base angle of the pyramid, there is an angular bevel on three of the four sides. From the slightly rectangular flat base a circular stub projects with a distorted broken, or possibly even cut end, which is possibly the remnant of the neck. There is an overall green colouration with patches of dark brown patina. The surface has no trace of iron corrosion and the object does not react to a magnet. Simi…

An unidentified, copper alloy artefact in the form of an open loop with a ferrous extension on one side. The date is uncertain, but the condition of the metal makes a Post medieval date most likely. The loop is circular with a narrow (2mm) gap in the frame. The terminal on one side of the gap is worn to a blunt point, and the other terminal is square. It is unclear whether the gap is damage or intentional. The loop is circular in cross-section except at a point opposite the gap, where there is a curved depression in one face, making the hoop thinner. At one side of this depression is&n…

A length of copper alloy bar of rectangular cross-section, of unknown date, probably Roman - Post Medieval. It has a well developed turquoise green patina. The thickness and width of the bar varies and it is slightly curved. The finder reports decorationin the form of small Xs, but these are difficult to positively identify as intentional and distinct from the other pitting on the surface. The edges are abraded making it difficult to determine whether the end are complete or breaks. Measurements are; length 59.9mm, width 4.5mm, thickness 3.6mm and weight 5.04g.

A broken copper alloy fixture or fitting probably of the post medieval period, AD 1500 - 1900. It comprises a bar of D shaped cross-section which is broken at one end. At the other end it bends backwards into a loop with the end of the bar butting against the back of the bar. The bar tapers towards the loop. It is undecorated with a green and brown patina. Dimensions are length 74.2mm; width 12.6mm; thickness 3.7mm; weight 23.53g. The function of this object is uncertain but it appears to be some type of fixture or fitting, perhaps a window hinge or the end of a tool handle or implement.

An unidentified, copper alloy artefact of unknown date, Roman to Post Medieval, AD 43 - 1700. It is a strip of sheet copper alloy, which is broken at both ends. The long edges are gently curved so the strip is wider in the middle. There is a near right angle bend near each end. These are probably original, because the decoration on the centre of the strip stops short of the bends. The decoration is a pair of simple wide longitudinal grooves. The strip is 13.5mm long, 6mm wide and 6.6mm thick. It weighs 0.4g. It has a bright bluish green patina and is smooth and glossy.

An incomplete copper-alloy object of uncertain date. The object consists of a coil of copper alloy which resembles the number six (6). The coil begins with a compressed roll of the rectangular sectioned body. After this roll it extends outwards and back around until it terminates in a worn break. One surface is decorated with grooved band along it length with shallow and small transverse striations across the band. The reverse surface is undecorated. The object's patina is a light green and fairly worn. It measures 24.72mm in length, 14.24mm in width, 4.48mm in thickness and 1.94…

A thin, incomplete, unidentified silver component. The item is semi-circular in plan, and retangular in cross section. It appears to be incomplete, with clean and linear break points on the two ends of the circular frame suggesting it has been cut, perhaps before it was intended to be melted down. On what is presumably the front facing surface of the component, there are two parrallel grooves which run along the circumference of the inside edge. The depth of the grooves is not uniform and at points the recesses are too faint to be visible. This may be the result of wear. The…

Lead alloy and iron unidentified object fragment. Cast concavo-convex object moulded as the top of the head or frontlet of an antlered stag, with the stubs of two naturalistically modelled antlers rising from its crown. A possible garland of oak leaves may be represented round the base of the object as it survives. Rust and the possible relict of an iron object appear in the hollow base, which is broken all around. This object appears to have become detached from a figurative ornament of venereal [i.e. relating to hunting] interest, possibly a themed table decoration or similar. Severa…

The shaft is truncated by an oblique cut. Also projcting to one side of the sphere is a small square stub of a bar, or perhaps a casting sprue. There is a similarly sized scar on another face of the sphere, at right angles to the first. This could suggest that the ball is a corner el…
