A large stone disc, possibly a pot base or lid dating from the Roman to the post medieval period. The disc measures 17.5cm in diameter and is perforated in the centre and burnt on one face and part of the circumference. Ruth Shaffrey notes that 'The type of burning present on this disc (blackening) is caused by direct exposure to flames (rather than just extreme heat) and it seems likely that this was used as a pot base, or more likely a pot lid (the perforation allowing for the release of some steam from a cooking vessel). Discs, of both small counter size, and larger pot base/lid si…

A small iron object, possible an anvil dating to the Roman period. It comprises a small square-section bar, possibly broken at one end but may be complete, stepping out at the other to a wide triangular-sectioned head with a blunt tip.Chisel tip or anvil? An identical object from the Roman fort at Maryport (Jarrett 1976, fig. 20, 5) was thought to be a post-medieval chisel fragment, but the fact that it so closely resembles this example suggests that both objects are complete. They may have been small wedge-shaped anvils, perhaps comparable to very small mosaicist's hardies. Measur…

A gold jewellery element, possibly a pin fastener from a bracelet dating to the second or third century AD. The element possessess a spherical head. From the underside of the head there extends a circular-section wire loop. The element measures 14mm in length, the head has a diameter of 4mm, the wire a thickness of 1mm. A potential parallel for this jewellery element can be seen in a gold bracelet from the Nikolaevo Treasure, now in the National Museum in Bulgaria (Ruseva-Slokoska 1991, 154, Cat. No. 144a). A second similar but sturdier element is known from the Piercebridge assemblage.
