An incomplete fragment of a copper alloy stirrup dating to the Medieval period, (1100-1500). The front of the object is decorated with three raised vertical ridges. The rear face is undecorated. Extending out from the one side of the cover-plate the stirrup arm (broken into two parts) curves inwards. The stirrup arm is D-shaped in cross section and widens and flattens where it terminates in an ancient break. The object has a smooth dark brown patina on each face of the extending plate.

Object type: RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy ring probably dating to the medieval period. The object is circular in plan and hexagonal in cross-section. The ring varies in thickness where the object has worn, probably due to wearing against another connection. It has a mid-brown patina. Notes: Plain rings of such proportions have often been suggested to be Medieval or Post-Medieval harness rings (Geake 2001, 74), though they are typically un-diagnostic.

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An lead alloy object of uncertain function. The object is circular in plan and is D-shaped in cross-section. The flat face is rough and uneven with no visible pitting. Due to its undiagnostic nature it cannot be dated closely however the condition of the lead suggests a Post-Medieval date is likely. The object may have functioned as a palm guard however there are no diagnostic features. Palm guards were for use by a leather worker to protect the palm whilst stitching. Bailey (1995, 64-65) dates such objects to the 17th century onwards.

A lead alloy weight or spindle whorl of post-medieval date. The object is circular in plan. In the centre of the object is a central uneven perforation. There is no visible decoration on either face. Each surface is heavily abraded probably due to movement within the plough soil. The spindle whorl has a light brown patina. Lead weights of this form were commonly used throughout the medieval and post-medieval period and are therefore difficult to date accurately. Examples of spindle whorls have reportedly been found in contexts dated from the Roman through to the post-medieval perio…
