A fragment from the base of a glass drinking vessel of possible Roman date. The fragment appears to derive from the constriction on a pedestal base and features a domed interior surface surrounded by the stump of a thin vessel wall; underneath the concave lower surface for the base has a swirled texture from the production and cooling process. There is no obvious pontil scar. The glass has a greenish tinge demonstrating an unbleached natural iron content and contains small bubbles with a laminar texture visible in the cross section at the breaks.

A blue glass bead with a slightly off central perforation. The bead is broadly bun / globular shaped and is light blue in colour. The bead has a decorative white stripe of glass within the matrix. Glass beads are common finds from the late Iron Age - Early Medieval period, however stylistically this form is likely to date from the late Iron Age or early Roman period. Dating beads visually is very difficult, however given similar beads are recorded as being of Iron Age to Roman date, this has been tentatively suggested for this find.
