Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Late Anglo-Saxon (Early Medieval) to early Post Medieval iron single bladed axehead, dating to c AD 850 - 1650. The surface is moderately corroded. It has an almost symmetrical form, but with a slightly extended beard on the lower part of the curved cutting edge. Something of the bevel on the cutting edge remains. The blade narrows towards the axe head (point of contact with handle, now missing) flaring out again to create two sub triangular extensions (axe lips or lugs) above and below, on both sides, of the axe eye (opening for handle). These gave more wood (handle) to me…

County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probably Medieval iron axehead dating from AD 1100 - 1500. The socket is incomplete, with one face missing. The cutting edge is convex, or this may be a broken end. It is wider than the rest of the blade, which tapers smoothly to the socket. The sides of the socket are shaped into a point so the socket is taller than the neck of the blade. It is covered with corrosion. Weight is 1470g, Length 262mm, Width 98mm and Thickness 28mm.
Dr Kevin Leahy looked for parallels to the shape in books by Manning on Roman iron, Goodhall on Medieval ironworkand Salman on recent tools, and sugg…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy object of uncertain function, possibly a brooch dating to the Medieval period (c. AD 1000-1200). The object is disc-shaped with a raised hemispherical central boss. The upper surface is decorated with a moulded circular and geometric pattern. The four concentric ring and dot motifs, one roughly in each quarter of the plate, consist of a single grooved circle, another circle within it and a circular dot at the centre. The zones between the two circular grooves are flat and plan. Around the base of the central boss is a border consisting of small and slig…

Copper alloy unidentified object. A small narrow cast rectangular-section bar of width 3.7mm, with a possibly zoomorphic rounded terminal resembling the eyes of a fly at one end; it is plain at the other end. Two drilled holes of diameter 1.3mm are set near the rounded terminal, between low flanges and a ridge linking them which bears four neatly incised transverse cuts. Here, two pairs of opposed half-round knops project from either side of the bar, slightly offset both from each other and from the holes, perhaps to represent legs. The terminal itself is divided by a tiny central rid…

Copper alloy strap end. Narrow pointed strap end made from two sheets of thickness 0.5mm joined at the belt end by a rivet of diameter 1.6mm and length 3.3mm. It is uncertain how the pointed ends of the sheets were joined; perhaps by a spot of brazing. Though the form and construction is simple, it does not appear amongst numerous strap ends of medieval date reported from London, where comparable shapes were achieved by folding sheet metal.
