Object type: LINCH PIN
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy Iron Age linch pin terminal, which is the foot of the pin. The foot has a deep square socket, inside a cylindrical, tapering shaft. There is a collar around the mouth of the socket. The socket measures 11.2mm x 10.8mm at the opening and is 20mm deep.

Object type: SWORD
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
This object was originally recorded as "Knife / dagger pommel" but the image but the image has been manipulated in order to make it clearer and it is now appears to show three views of a curved guard from a late Iron Age sword. It may be compared to an example from Llyn Cerrig Bach, Anglesey (Savory, 1976, Fig. 24.1). Other parallels exist on the PAS database (NMS-C4D772 and HESH-ECC623) and it is notable that the tops of many surviving Iron Age scabbards have the same curved profile as seen on this find (Jope, 2000, Plates 203-9)
