An irregular spherical shaped piece of iron shot / small cannon ball probably of post medieval / civil war date (1600-1700 AD). The ball is of a mid-brown purplish colour with small areas of flaking and active corrosion. The ball is in fairly good condition and with no obvious dents or grazes which might suggest use. The size is small either suggesting it was used as grape shot or that it was for a small hand-held cannon (possibly a serpentine 1 ½ inch bore or Falcon 2 1/2 inch) rather than for a standard sized cannon. The shotis sub-spherical with a diameter of 41.8mm (1.6 inc…

A large broadly triangular piece of iron of uncertain function or date. The iron fragment is hammer worked and is broadly D shaped in cross section. It is pierced in four places - at the apex, twice on the base and singly at the midpoint. The surface is irregular and the reverse face has several areas of spalling and corrosion. The artefact is recorded due to the upper surface seeming to have a series of interlaced designs along the midpoint / spine. This interpretation is uncertain due to condition. Given the form and shape it is possible that this is from a decorative hinge from eit…

Object type: HOOK
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An iron hooked artefact of unknown date. The hooked terminal is well formed from a length of square sectioned iron bar albeit crudely worked. It tapers along its length; the terminal is bent into a U shape. A direct parallel has not been found. It is possible due to the nature of the site that these are Roman in date although due to the nature of the artefact type and its longevity it is very difficult to date specifically. A broad date range of 50 AD - 1850 is suggested. The hook is a mid brown orange colour with encrusted and laminating surfaces. The hook measur…

An unidentified hand made iron artefact of unknown function and date. This has been recorded due to the significant and rare survival of Roman metalwork from this site. This artefact seems to be formed from two lengths of iron joined (possibly hammer welded) at their mid-point. The upper length of metal is a sub rectangular rod which taper from a rectangular section at one end to a rounded bar at the other. It is joined at the mid point to a similar but slighter piece of iron which changes from a sub-rectangular bar to a C sectioned bar that matches the cross section of the upper…

A wrought iron spearhead of probable Roman date, 50 -300 AD. The spearhead is irregular in form; the head is much more like a pilum being square in section and tapering to a point, however the overall form is very slender, almost lance like. The spearhead is best described as having a slender profile with a slight bolt like head with no discernable mid rib The blade has a tapering tip that is pointed; this may howvere be due to corrosion rather than design. The blade thickens along its length, remaining square in section. At a point approximately 5/6 along the length the section …

An encrusted iron artefact of probable Roman date. The shape and size of the artefact are unknown due to heavy iron corrosion / encrustation which has laminated in places. The artefact seems to expand from a small blunted point to below the mid point where it then tapers to a slender shaft or tang, possibly for setting within a handle. From what survives it seems that the artefact is not bladed (i.e. a knife) and is possibly a punch or drill of some type. An X-ray of this artefact would help in identifying it - however at present this is impossible. A Roman date is suggested due …

Two lengths of sub-circular sectioned bar or rod, possibly tapering shafts from larger artefacts of possible Roman date. The bars have been hand-forged. They could date from almost any historic period but due to the significant amount of other identifiable Roman metalwork from this garden have been recorded as potentially interesting, but unidentified artefacts. It is possible that these two rods could be the shafts of tools or even pilum (although that maybe doubtful due to their small cross section measurements. The larger of the two fragments seems to change shape in cross sec…

An iron 'bearded' axe or axehead of probable Medieval date (1000 - 1500 AD). The axe is broadly sub-rectangular in plan with an irregular shaped expanded blade that has a pronounced downward projection. The socket of the axe is formed by the tail of the axe being folded and welded; the socket is sub-triangular in shape measuring 29.7mm length x 18.9mm width. The butt of the axe is rectangular. Two sub-triangular projections near the socket are present, although only one is extant, these would have stabilised the axe on the wooden shaft. As the blade expands in width it tapers in secti…

Large fragment from an Iron Cauldron of later medieval – early modern date (1350-1850). These vessels are very practical and therefore their design remained constant for a long time. This example is likely to date after 1650 due to the condition of the metal; however an earlier date cannot be ruled out. Approximately 1/8 of the vessel survives; it has a wide everted angular rim which extends into the body of the vessel. The body tapers and swells presumably to form a wide mid-point which tapers to a dished base. On one edge a small rod-like angular handle survives, this is attach…

An unidentified and undated iron artefact; it is possible that this may be part of a hook or similar style of artefact probably associated with buildings. In form the artefact is similar to a large nail with a hook shaped terminal. The nail is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and square in cross section. It tapers from a thickened middle to a corroded point. The opposite terminal has been flattened (being rectangular in cross section) and is curled back upon itself forming a crude hook. The curved nature of this seems to be deliberate rather than a result of movement in the soil. Th…

Corroded iron knife blade with bone (?) handle of late medieval or early post medieval date (1450-1600). The knife blade has corroded and been broken; the extent of the original blade cannot be assessed. The handle is set onto the knife by a tapering small sectioned tang. The end of the tang protrudes from the top edge of the handle and is covered by a decorative cap. Due to the nature of the artefact and the expense of x-rays the extent and nature of the tang cannot be investigated. It seems that the only method of attaching the blade to the handle is the tang. The handle is formed fr…
