An unidentified and undated iron artefact; it is possible that this may be part of a hook or similar style of artefact probably associated with buildings. In form the artefact is similar to a large nail with a hook shaped terminal. The nail is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and square in cross section. It tapers from a thickened middle to a corroded point. The opposite terminal has been flattened (being rectangular in cross section) and is curled back upon itself forming a crude hook. The curved nature of this seems to be deliberate rather than a result of movement in the soil. Th…

Two lengths of sub-circular sectioned bar or rod, possibly tapering shafts from larger artefacts of possible Roman date. The bars have been hand-forged. They could date from almost any historic period but due to the significant amount of other identifiable Roman metalwork from this garden have been recorded as potentially interesting, but unidentified artefacts. It is possible that these two rods could be the shafts of tools or even pilum (although that maybe doubtful due to their small cross section measurements. The larger of the two fragments seems to change shape in cross sec…

An encrusted iron artefact of probable Roman date. The shape and size of the artefact are unknown due to heavy iron corrosion / encrustation which has laminated in places. The artefact seems to expand from a small blunted point to below the mid point where it then tapers to a slender shaft or tang, possibly for setting within a handle. From what survives it seems that the artefact is not bladed (i.e. a knife) and is possibly a punch or drill of some type. An X-ray of this artefact would help in identifying it - however at present this is impossible. A Roman date is suggested due …

An unidentified hand made iron artefact of unknown function and date. This has been recorded due to the significant and rare survival of Roman metalwork from this site. This artefact seems to be formed from two lengths of iron joined (possibly hammer welded) at their mid-point. The upper length of metal is a sub rectangular rod which taper from a rectangular section at one end to a rounded bar at the other. It is joined at the mid point to a similar but slighter piece of iron which changes from a sub-rectangular bar to a C sectioned bar that matches the cross section of the upper…

A corroded iron trident-shaped artefact of possible Roman date. The object has lost one of its side prongs. The central prong is enlarged (W.: 15.85mm) before tapering to a point. It has been bent in profile. The tang is solid and tapers in both length and thickness over c. 37mm. It has a rectangular cross-section. The artefact could have acted as a weapon as it seems somewhat over elaborate as an agricultural or fishing tool.

An incomplete wrought iron artefact of uncertain function and dating. It is broadly C shaped in plan. The top of the artefact consists of a semi circular, possible brooch head. The main shaft extends at a right angle from the central point of this possible brooch head, and then descends to a second bend. It measures 20.25mm in length, 10.08mm wide and 2.86 mm thick. It weighs 1.2 grams. It is a mid to dark brown colour, with an uneven flaky surface patina. No direct parallel has yet been found for this artefact. It is possible that it could be an iron brooch of Roman datin…

A single piece of highly corroded iron found in association with a large quantity of Roman pottery. The object seems to have originally been a curved bar with rectangular cross section and a possible appendage at one end. Unfortunately not enough of the object survives to be able to identify it. The piece measures 64.66mm long x 24.34mm wide and 6.45mm thick. It weighs 19.94g.

County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
An unidentified iron object, of uncertain date. If dated by association this object may be Roman. It resembles a knife blade, but the object has a roughly equal thickness - if it were a blade one edge would be thicker than the other. One terminal is badly damaged and broken, the other flares out on either side. The iron is extremely corroded and worn.

A short length of corroded iron blade, with roughly parallel sides and a lozenge shaped section. Possibly a spear or dagger blade. It is of indeterminate date, although a Roman, Anglo-Saxon or Medieval date seems most probable. This object was found in association with copper alloy vessel rim (KENT-003636).
