An iron whittle tanged knife of Roman to Medieval date. The blade measures 93.02mm in length and the tang 13.17mm in length. The tang is incomplete. Each edge is slightly curved with the cutting edge measuring 1.28mm thick and the opposite edge measuring 2.07mm. The knife terminates with a rounded point. The surfaces of the object are uneven due to corrosion. It is mid-brown in colour.
The form is of Manning's Roman Type 16, which he says is a long-live type. The form would also be quite acceptable in the Early Medieval period (Drinkall type A) and there are good parallels in Cowgill's book on Medieval knives, (peers. comm. K. Leahy).

An incomplete cast copper alloy bracelet dating to the Roman period, c. 4th century AD. The object has been cut down and reused to form a finger ring. The artefact is trapezoidal in plan, in that it narrows very slightly from one end to the other. It has a rectangular cross-section. The bracelet is decorated unifacially using ring-and-dot motifs. Towards the terminal end of the object are twelve ring-and-dots in parallel lines, beyond these the object tapers and five ring-and dots are placed in a single line. Below the final ring-and-dot is a transverse groove before the object terminates where it has been cut in antiquity. The object thickens at the narrow end and file marks can be seen on the sides. At the terminal end the object narrows to form a snout giving the object a zoomorphic experience. One edge of the object towards the snout has been decorated with narrow notches or grooves cut into it. The rear of the object is undecorated. The object has a dark green patina and is good condition.
