A Post Medieval cast pewter shoe or knee buckle dating from AD1660 - AD1720. The buckle is sub annular and symmetrical with two central drilled holes which would have held a separate spindle making the buckle double looped. The spindle, and thus the pin, has now been lost. The buckle has a moulded decoration on the front. This is formed of four rounded knops at the four 'corners'. The two upper and the two lowers knops are linked to each other by a raised line following the curve of the loops. In the centre of these lines, where the spindle would have attached, is a pointed knop. The reverse of the buckle is flat and undecorated. The buckle measures 24.92mm in length, 17.46mm in width, 3.18mm in thickness and weighs 3.90g.
For similar, although not exact, examples see Whitehead (2003: 99) nos. 618 - 627.

A fragment of a Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper alloy cooking vessel rim fragment dating from AD1250 - AD1850. The fragment is decorated with a thickened band, measuring 5.16mm in width, around the edge just below the rim. The fragment is too small to determine the original diameter of the vessel. The fragment measures 61.12mm in length, 47.86mm in height, 5.86mm in thickness and weighs 62.11g.
Butler, Green and Payne (2009: Finds Research Group AD700-1700 Datasheet 41) comment that rim fragments which are found as individual fragments are likely to be from cauldrons or posnets. These vessels are in use from c. 1100 until c. 1850 when cast iron cooking vessels are used instead.

A fragment of a cast copper alloy brooch dating to the Roman period. The brooch is a Hod Hill type dating between 43 and 70 AD. The brooch consists of the hinge and part of the bow. The pin is missing but there are traces of iron corrosion in the hollow tube that would have held it. The bow is slightly arched and tapers towards the base. There is a transverse break across the bow before the foot meaning that the catchplate is also missing. The bow is undecorated. The brooch measures 31mm in length.

A fragment of a nutcraker arm (1300-1600). It is sub rectangular with a circular cross section. It slightly tapers to the terminal which is decorated with an acorn shaped knop. The other end is flattened on one side to create a D shapped cross section. There is a break running across this end. The flattened end is decorated on both sides with a series of incised grooves and raised ridges. On the convex side there are two grooves and two ridges running parallel and next to the break. On the flattened side there are at least six ridges running parallel to the break until they meet the cylindrical shaft. The fragment measures 72mm in length.

A complete, cast copper alloy composite strap end dating to the Medieval period (1270-1400 AD). The strap end is of a two piece, circular form. The strap end measures 76mm in length. At the strap end it is sub triangular in plan. It then widens again to form two broadly rectangular projections. Along the top edge of the sub triangle there are two small iron rivets. At either side of the rivets on the front and the edge of the piece, there are small triangular 'V' shaped notches, each pointing towards the rivets. There is an incised design decorating the panel consisting of a broad rectangle that runs around the two rivets and down to between the two rectangular projections. Within this rectangle there are a further four incisions, that could be letters (for example see CAM-500482 or CAM-2136A3), running the length, parallel to the edges of the artefact. It has not been possible to determine which letter/s are represented if indeed the incised lines are forming letters at all.
The strap end opens out into an oval shaped panel. It is decorated with a moulded design depicting two figures. One figure is kneeling whilst the other stands, holding a transverse sceptr.
Projecting from the oval panel is the terminal, forming a rectangular tab from which the tapering point extends. which has two broadly rectangular projections near the oval panel in a symmetrical pattern to the strap end.
On the reverse of the strap end is a separate copper alloy sheet that extends from the sub triangular end of the strap end to the other end of the oval panel. It is attached to the rest of the strap end with four copper alloy rivets, one on either side of the oval and the two on the edge of the sub triangle.

A complete cast lead weight or possible spindle whorl of uncertain date. The weight is hemispherical with a flat base, circular in plan and convex top. It has a sub circular hole drilled through the centre. It is undecorated and covered with pitting and scratch marks. The weight has a cream-grey patination. It weighs 21.39g.
Lead weights, along with spindle whorls were commonly used from the Iron Age through to the Post Medieval period and are difficult to date with any certainty. Undecorated examples cannot be securely dated without supporting contextual evidence.

A sheet copper alloy rivet dating between the Medieval and Post Medieval periods (1475 - 1800 AD). The rivet is formed from a sheet of copper alloy rolled into a cone and with the top flattened to form a head. The rivet measures 10mm in length.
The function for these objects is unclear, however it is thought that they may have been used for repairing metal vessels. A discussion of these rivets can be found in Egan 2005: 101. Egan suggests that rivets like this were a later form of rivet, which took over from the Medieval folded staples in the late 15th to the mid to late 16th century and continued in use into the 18th century (ibid.).

It is sub rectangular in plan with a rounded end. Along one edge there are two rivet holes with old breaks. There are also two sub circular holes drilled into the handle. One is situated just off centre along the right edge whilst the other is nearer the top of the handle at the left hand side. The handle is decorated with a double cross hatched design along the upper and lower edges with a series of vertical lines in groups of four running along the centre of the scale. The fragment measures 81mm in length.
For examples of scale handles see Margeson (1993: 123) Fig. 88. A similar example can be seen on the database at LON-281621.

A incomplete, cast copper alloy buckle plate dating to the Medieval period (1250 - 1400 AD). The buckle is a single loop spur buckle. The plate is sub rectangular and tapers slightly before terminating in a rounded end with a round hole through the middle. The other end of the buckle plate flares out to form the buckle. This end has a transverse break across leaving two projections. At the top of the buckle plate there is a centrally located sub rectangular notch that would have housed the pin, which no longer survives. Just below this notch is another circular hole through the buckle plate. The plate measures 38mm in length.

A cast copper alloy, Post Medieval buckle dating from AD1620 to AD1680. The frame is rectangular in plan with the outer edge tickened and projecting to a triangular point. The central strap bar is narrowed, is slightly convex and has a rectangular cross section. At each end of the strap bar is a rounded knop. The pin is missing. The upper surface has the remains of a treatment, probably tinning.
The buckle measures 23.55m in length, 20.69mm in width, 2.69mm in thickness and weighs 3.61g.
It is likely that this was originally a double looped buckle and the second loop has been lost due to breaks close to the strap bar. The breaks are now very worn. Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead (2003, pg. 82), no. 513.
