An incomplete blue glass bead of Victorian date. A spherical blue glass bead flattened on two opposing sides. A perforation passes through the centre of the bead from one flattened side to the other. A few areas of the surface of the bead are missing due to breaks. Dimensions: diameter 12.2mm, height 9.5mm and weight 1.6g. The circular vertical perforation has a diameter of 2.4mm. Discussion: Beads of this type can be difficult to date but it is most likely to be of late Post-Medieval date.

A fragment of brown glass weighing 1.22g with a curved length of c.20.0mm. The fragment has a D shaped cross-section and 'nicely' shaped (as described by Dr Kevin Leahy) irregular transverse fractures at each end. The inner surface of the curved length is flatter and the sides and outer curve have a more pronounced convex surface. The width and thickness varies, having a width of 4.7mm and thickness of 2.7mm at one end. The fragment then increases to a maximum width of 6.3mm and thickness of 3.8mm before reducing to a width of 5.2mm and thickness of 3.0mm at the other break. Use of a …
