Fragment of a glass beaker, possibly dating to the Roman period. Only part of the rim survives. The rim is everted with a rounded side. The neck is much narrowed, but the wall is 6mm thick. The colour is turquoise. The form resembles some types of Roman glass beakers, but the glass appears much thicker than these; equally the glass appears to be very solid with few air bubbles or imperfections.

A Roman melon bead made of green glass (circa AD 50- AD 200). A hole passes through the centre. The object was found on a field that has produced material suggestive of a sixth century Anglo-Saxon inhumation cemetery, and so it is possible that this bead was reused in the 6th century.
