A Medieval, gold gem-set gold finger ring. This has a large bezel that is oval in plan with and empty oval aperture in the centre what a stone would have been mounted. In profile the bezel is biconical with the lower section possessing a longer and more pointed frame than its upper counterpart. Flanking the sides of the bezel are thin rectangular tabs that led to the hoop with is formed from a simple undecorated circular cross-section band.
This ring fits with a group of decorative gemstone finger rings described by Egan and Pritchard (2002, 326. fig 215) dated them to the 14th century. A number of comparable examples of this type have been reported as treasure and reported to the PAS see: BERK-57430E (2019T158), HAMP-6C5109 (2017T761), SUR-C32418 (2019 T997) and DUR-602602 (2019T35).
As this object is made of gold and is more than 300 years old, it appears to meet the requirements of the 1996 Treasure Act.

A copper alloy zoomorphic figurine in the form of a standing boar of Late Iron Age or Early Roman date (50BC-100AD).
The boar shown as a semi-naturalistic representation of a wild boar as opposed to a domesticated pig. The body of the animal is solid cylinder with an oval cross-section. Running down the top of the curving back is a pronounced central ridge the terminates at the base of the head. Flanking the end of the crest are simple ears that are formed from projecting angled ovals that are concavo-convex in cross-section. Formed the head is a simple tapering cone that has hollow lentoid eyes surrounded by a recessed border, these eyes with have originally contained coloured glass. The end of the head terminates in a cylindrical snout that is decorated with a recessed band running around its circumference and two recessed ovals at the tip forming the nostrils. Flanking the snout are large raised oval tusks that lie flat against the side of the head.
Muscular shoulders and thighs lead down to straight narrow legs that have a circular cross-section. The feet of boar are joined to a circular plate that is mounted in the centre. Large oval testicles are suspended in between the rear legs. There is a hollow in the middle of the plate for a rivet, allowing the beast to be mounted to a larger item such as a vessel.
The following is a report that was written by Rebecca Ellis (University of Hull Phd student) (pers Comm, 2021)
Porcines in Late Iron Age Britain
Porcines are the fourth most popular species group in La Tène art in England and Wales, spanning from c. 300BC but markedly peaking in popularity in the first centuries BC and AD. In England and Wales there are 48 other known examples. There is also evidence for both the portrayal of both wild and domestic porcines.
Because of the lack of information for what these items were specifically used for, there is still a lack of clarity as to what porcines represented during the period. Although there seems to be an association with warrior equipment between 300BC-150BC, during the first centuries BC and AD this association is no longer so clear. It is possible that their use is representational of the chase of the boar on a hunt.
Wickwar Boar
The Wickwar Boar is the 49th confirmed late Iron Age style wild boar from England and Wales. It is the second only porcine figurine we have which shows clear evidence of eye decoration with a secondary material, most likely red or blue glass (the other is ESS-C5CB81). Despite the lack of dating and contextual information for these pieces, the current date estimation is c. 50BC-100AD.
Stylistically the form of the animal is most closely paralleled by LIN-CEB738. The fitting shape on the base of the figurine cannot currently be paralleled elsewhere. There are only seven other examples of porcines with clear evidence of being fittings in England and Wales, including CAM-6D9662 and the Hounslow Boars (BM accension no. 1864,0501.9, 1864,0502.17 and 1864,0501.8). Geographically, this also comes from an area with few other representations. This, in combination with the rare example of eye embellishment, suggests this is a find of regional importance.

Two strands of circular cross-section wire that have been twisted together and then bent into a small loop. The ends show that they have been deliberately chiselled, suggesting this was cut from a longer length of twisted wires, or a larger object such as a torc or bracelet.
Measurements:
Diameter: 20.5-22mm; Thickness (single wire): 2mm; Thickness (wires twisted together): 3.5-4.0mm; Weight: 4.04g
Discussion: This fragment could have formed part of a torc or bracelet, made up of several twisted wires, which was broken up in antiquity. At Snettisham, and in particular in Hoard F, many Iron Age torcs and bracelets had been deliberately broken before deposition (Stead 1991, Plates I and II). There are several close parallels from Snettisham. Some of these wire fragments are connected to other sections of wire (e.g. BM 1991, 0501.124 and 1991, 0702.227). BM 1991, 0501.79 shows a particularly good example of a similar fragment that is not attached to other pieces and features the same unfinished ends. These parallels suggest a date of around 150–50 BC.
The circular cross-section of the wire and the faceted surface are also characteristic of Iron Age wire production (Joy et al. 2014, 149-50). Wires seem to have been initially forged out square; they are regularly turned during the forging process to create an even width and then given a final hammering to achieve a rounder cross-section.

A copper alloy fragment of a possible dodecahedron. Complete examples would be twelve sided hallow cast objects that would have a large spherical knop on each corner and as hole of varying size on each face. This example is only one corner of such an object and consists of one large globular knop with a short section of the corner projecting from either side, a small portion down on two sides. The underside of the object is concave and crudely finished off while the outside is relatively smooth
Copper alloy dodecahedrons are uncommon finds and appear restricted to the northern part of the Roman empire, stretching from Britain to Hungary. Not many are known from Britain and the present example appears to be one of only a few from Southern England outside of London. Only four others have been recorded by the PAS: WILT-37C5E1, YORYM-41CD72, PUBLIC-959804, SUR-729950. The function of these objects remains uncertain and various suggestions have been made including surveying instruments, rangefinders, candleholders, sceptre heads or polygonal dice

four Early Medieval Sceats
1. Series J Sceat (type 72), early Secondary Phase, c. 710-25.
Obverse: two heads facing each other; between them, a long cross on a pedestal
Reverse: curled wolf headed serpent
Mint: unknown, possibly Low Countries; diameter 12mm; weight 1.07g
Stylistically most similar to two other English finds ('near' Swindon, EMC 1990.0187, and Marton (Lincs), EMC 1994.0152).
2. C ARIP eclectic group, Secondary Phase Sceat, c. 710-750.
Obverse: Diademed bust right with cross, abstract lettering in front of bust.
Reverse: man standing facing with branch to the left and a cross to the right.
Diameter 11mm; weight 1.03g
The coin belongs to the rare eclectic 'C ARIP' group, the closest stylistic parallel to the coin being an example found in London at the St Peter's Hill excavations (see EMC 1977.0047) with the same 'lettering' pattern in front of the bust, and same reverse design.
3, Danish Series X Sceat (type 31), Secondary Phase, c.710-50.
Obverse: Crude facing head with long hair and beard, border of pellets
Reverse: thin dragon with border of pellets
Diameter 11mm; weight 0.85g
4, series N Sceat (type 41b), Secondary Phase, c. 715-720.
Obverse: beast right, head turned back over shoulder. Pellets surround outline of animal.
Reverse: two standing figures with cross between and either side, surrounded by a border of pellets
Diameter 11mm; weight 0.86g
Possibly contemporary imitation with right-facing beast rather than left-facing. See also EMC 1986.0034 for comparable example.
Discussion: coins were discovered in a small enough area to perceivably have been a dropped purse or small hoard.
Metal content: The precious metal content fulfils the requirements of the Treasure Act in that it is greater than 10%.

Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.

Brancaster Type silver finger ring with a square bezel. The face of the bezel in decorated with the recessed image of a human head and shoulders facing right, the basic shape of the head is most likely stamped, with a pointed nose in front and a slight recess for the eye. The hair is made from a series of straight oblique lines. The shoulders are made from a series of oblique incised lines. Behind the head are four elongated pellets. This is all surrounded by a drilled square beaded border that runs around the edge of the bezel.
The shoulders are decorated by three groups of transverse bands, these are; a double line of drilled pellets at the top, below the bezel; in the middle is a line of drilled pellets above an incised line; finally at the base of the shoulder are two sets of double incised lines. In between each group of bands is a double banded zigzag line. The rest of the hoop is plain.
Martin Henig has identified the ring and commented
'I suppose the closest parallel from Britain I know is from Roundway Down, Wiltshire (see Henig 'Art in Roman Wiltshire' pp 122-3 fig.6.14 in P.Ellis Roman Wiltshire and After (Devizes 2001). The Silchester (Senicianus) ring RIB II no.2422.14 and the double portrait Brancaster ring 2422.15 are in this group. Paul Corby Finney 'Senicianus' Ring'Bonner Jahrbucher 194 (1994) pp 175-196 is useful, nice parallels pp.180-183. Personally I think the type could run on into the 5th century'
