Harness fitting fragment (?bridle bit) Small fragment of a cast copper alloy harness fitting with lipped decoration. Flat on the reverse, giving a D-shaped cross-section. It is broken at both ends, the remaining fragment consisting of a quarter circle arc decorated near one end with a single pair of moulded lips on the curved upper side of the ring. The lips are drilled on the inside, possibly to hold enamel. A broken projection into the centre of the ring suggests that originally this ring may have enclosed a smaller decorative ring. Parallels: This is unlikely to have formed part …

Chain mail armour fastener A small fragment of a copper alloy fitting, possibly a chain mail armour hook, consisting of a circular or oval terminal, tapering into a narrow neck, and fanning out towards the broken end. The object is flat in cross-section, but is bent up at 90° towards the broken fan-shaped end. In the centre of the terminal, there is a small rivet (circular in cross-section). Both sides of the object, and the rivet itself, show evidence of iron corrosion. Parallels: This object is very similar to find no. 2, although slightly smaller. It may have formed part of a cha…

Chain mail armour fastener A small fragment of a copper alloy fitting, possibly a chain mail armour hook, consisting of a roughly circular terminal, tapering towards the broken end. In the centre of the terminal, there is a small rivet (circular in cross-section). Both sides of the object, and the rivet itself, show evidence of iron corrosion. Parallels: This may have formed part of a chain mail fitting similar in function to find no. 1, although this piece is undecorated. Alternatively it could have formed part of a harness fitting or mount. Measurements: Length: 35.3mm; width: 8.7…

Object type: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Button and loop fastener or strap terminal Fragment of a cast copper-alloy button and loop fastener or strap terminal. This object comprises only the loop section, which is sub-circular in plan, tapering towards where it would have met the 'button'. Parallels: This fragment resembles the loops from many other fittings from both the related 1843 hoard and the 2011 assemblage. It is not possible to identify the form of the original object from this fragment, but it is highly likely that it formed part of a button and loop fastener (cf Wild 1970) or strap terminal (cf MacGregor 1962). …

Copper alloy sheet fragment Sub-circular piece of copper alloy sheet, with a small protrusion at one edge. Possibly a piece of metalworking waste, or perhaps part of a copper alloy fitting. Measurements: Length: 13.2mm; thickness: 1.0mm; diameter: 11.1mm; weight: 0.5g

Record ID: DUR-D19577
Object type: STUD
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Circular iron domed stud, with remains of broad circular-sectioned shank/pin on the reverse, now broken. It is possible that this object might have originally had a copper alloy exterior, but there is no trace of this now. Parallels: It is impossible to be certain of the date or function of this object. There are no parallels from the related 1843 hoard. Measurements: Thickness: 10.5mm; diameter: 19.4mm; weight: 7.2g

Record ID: DUR-D18AB4
Object type: RING
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy circular ring. The ring is circular in cross-section, although wider on one side than on the other, perhaps due to wear. This object is perhaps too small to have been used as a harness fitting, and it is impossible to be sure of its function. Parallels: Rings like this could be put to many uses, and are found on sites of all periods, so it is impossible to be certain of an Iron Age date for this find. There are no direct parallels from the related 1843 hoard. Measurements: Thickness: 3.2mm; diameter: 15.9mm; weight: 1.6g
