A possible gold ingot. A tapering sub-rectangular piece of gold with a sub-angualr cross section: Nell Wilkin and Mafalda Raposo of the British Mueum comment: Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it cannot be securely dated to pre-1717 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.

Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
A gold spiral ring of uncertain date and function made from a rectangular-sectioned rod bent into a circular shape. It is almost exactly four turns or 'coils' of the rod, with a small section of three. One end of the rod is rectangular in cross-section and has come away from the rest of the ring; the other end tapers to a fine point and has been hammered into its adjoining 'coil'. Both ends of the rod show signs of clamping or cutting. The outside face of the ring has been flattened (presumably hammered) to give an even surface but still will clear delineation of 'coils', while the in…

The two ingots were recovered within c.1.5 metres of each other at a depth of c.10cm below the surface. Description Ingot, fragment. Plano-convex edge fragment with rounded outer edge. Length: 74.5mm, Width: 62.5mm, Thickness: c.31mm Ingot, fragment. Plano-convex. Length: 92.5mm, Width: 90mm, Thickness: c. 32mm. Discussion These ingot fragments probably belong to the Ewart Park phase of the Late Bronze Age, dating to c.1000-800 BC. Both fragments are plano-convex, being rounded on one side and flat on the other. Ingots such as these were cast in a dish-shaped mould, and…

This object was originally identified by Alan West as a Bronze Age ear-ring, and described as an annular ear-ring with diamond cross-section, chevron pattern incised on outer faces. Re-examination of the photograph now suggests that the ring is either penannular or broken, and Neil Wilkin (British Museum) has advised that it is unlikely to be an ear-ring. The dating as Bronze Age is uncertain.

In 2012 a Middle Bronze Age hoard was discovered while metal detecting on cultivated land. The find consists of 41 copper alloy objects split across two deposits or concentrations of finds, with a small number of finds found a short distance away. All the objects are of a similar typo-chronology and are likely to represent a single hoard comprised of 31 'ornaments', 8 'tools' and 4 'other' or unidentified objects. The artefacts were recovered by the finders from two deposits in close proximity (c.2-3m apart), with two pits subsequently identified by a local amateur archaeology grou…

The find consists of a fragment of a socketed instrument, a socketed tool, five fragments of a hollow ring with semi-circular cross section and a length of copper alloy wire. The find can be considered as an addendum to 2010 T442 based on the location of the find and the typological similarities between artefacts from both cases/finds. Furthermore, the fragment of socketed tool and hollow ring may belong to (and refit with) objects from 2010 T442. This impression was gained from examining the available photos of the earlier case (since acquired by the Society of Antiquaries, Newcas…

Description: The 'East Cambridgeshire' torc is a four-flange twisted bar torc of Middle Bronze Age date, known to belong to the Penard phase of c.1300-1150 BC (Taylor 1980, 62; Needham 2001; Roberts 2007). It is made of three separate components: two very similar, undecorated, bent-back, 'trumpet'-shaped, terminals affixed at either end of an exceptionally long (126.5cms, excluding the terminals) spiral twisted bar with very regular cruciform (i.e. '+' shaped) cross-section. The advantages of casting such an elaborate torc in three pieces is discussed by Taylor (1980, 61-2). A neat …

A fragment of Middle Bronze Age (probably Penard phase, c. 1300 - 1100 BC) flange- or bar-twisted gold torc, consisting of a section including one complete end (Eogan 1967). The torc has a cruciform (x-shaped) cross-section with four flanges coming to a sub-square terminal where the flanges are only minimally visible. It is bent at a curved right angle shortly before the break at the other end. The complete end is square in cross-section, measuring 2.9x2.8mm. From here the flanges start to become defined and then begin to twist. At the deepest the depth between the flanges is 1.5mm d…

Two fragments of apparently originally-joining gold band or ribbon dating to the Middle to Late Bronze Age (c. 1600-800 BC). Both fragments are parallel-sided and of rectangular shape, the smaller fragment having a jagged break at either end and the longer having one jagged break and one straight cut. Both are slightly crumpled. The fragments are decorated on one face with fourteen raised ribs and corresponding grooves. The long edges of each also appear a little folded-over in places. The opposite faces are plain. Discussion: The incised linear decoration of the strip can be par…

Slender leaf-shaped gold strip, the ends folded over to form a distorted ring. Both ends are pierced; the two holes were executed from opposite sides of the strip. While one end is intact and tongue-shaped, the other is squared off and may retain the very slight trace of an original piercing or other feature. It is possible that this end was broken, re-pierced and roughly fettled. The hole at this end is blocked with soil. Length 19.8mm; maximum width of strip 13.9mm; thickness 0.9mm; weight 2.17 grams.
