CURATOR'S REPORT A gold pendant, incorporating a Visigothic gold tremissis in the name of the Roman Emperor Anastasius I of Byzantium (r.491-518). Description of find The coin has been made into a pendant, showing the Victory reverse, probably in England in the 6th or early 7th century, when coin-jewellery of this type was fashionable.

Fragment of a plain gold rod. The gold rod is circular in section and is rounded at one end and broken at the other. The surface is smooth and only slightly pitted. There is no decoration though some evidence for small hammer marks on the rod. Due to its undiagnostic nature it does not represent Treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act (1996).

Short length of distorted gold rod of approximately circular cross-section. Both ends appear to have been cut using a chisel. Diameter of rod 5mm; weight 3.21g. Non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the surface indicated a gold content of approximately 55-58%, a silver content of approximately 40-44% and a copper content of more than 1%. Possibly a distorted solid penannular ring, the diameter of which would have been approximately 13mm. Should this be the case, the piece could fit morphologically into the category of Bronze Age penannular rings. These are generally date…

CORONER'S REPORT Description of Find A small gold finger-ring with near-circular hoop, which expands to form the simple narrow ovoid bezel. In its lightly-convex surface, which appears much worn, is a small curved indentation, perhaps the last vestige of an engraved motif. Discussion Except for a bevelling of the inner edge of the hoop the form of the ring is similar to a Roman type which often has an engraved image on the bezel - bird, lion, bust etc., but above all, in Britain, a stylised palm branch (cf. 2006 T463 and 2006 T588 of gold; also 2005 T230 and 2006 T418 of silve…
