A complete copper alloy object of uncertain date and function. The object consists of a long hook, measuring 85mm in length before it curves, tapering in width to a rounded point. The hook is circular in cross-section. At the top of the object the hook expands and flattens to form an integral loop. The loop has an internal diameter of 14mm. The object has a mid-green patina and is undecorated. It is in fair condition. Dimensions: 85mm in length, 20mm in width (at the loop), 8.60g. The exact function of the object is unknown however the form and lack of decoration suggests it…

An incomplete copper alloy object of uncertain function, probably dating from the medieval to the post-medieval period. The object is sub-circular in plan with a wide rearward projecting hook at one end. At the opposite straight edged end of the object are two rounded projections which curve inwards and may have joined. The majority of the surface decoration has been obscured with corrosion however where the corrosion hasn't taken hold gilding is visible on each face. At the junction between the hooked tab and the body of the object is a double moulded inverted V-shaped ridge. A…

A copper alloy object of uncertain date and function. The object consists of a long arm which is oval in cross-section. At one end the arm tapers in width to form an integral pointed oval terminal. The terminal is sub-triangular in cross-section with one flat face. At the opposite end of the object is a bifurcated terminal which is incomplete. The purpose of each terminal is unclear. Projecting from the centre of the object is a sub-rectangular tab, one end of which tapers in width and curls inwards on itself. One end of this may be incomplete however it is difficult to be certain.…

A fragment of a copper alloy object of uncertain date. The fragment is curved in plan and is oval in cross-section. One face of the object is decorated with a curvilinear or wave-like pattern with each 'wave' facing the opposite way. It is likely that this pattern would have repeated. The object tapers in width at one end measuring 6mm in width and is wider at the opposite end which measures 11mm in width. Dimensions: 15mm in length, 11mm in width, 3mm thick, 2.1g The object has a mid-green patina and both the front and rear of the object is silvered. Due to the fragmentary nat…

A fragment of a zoomorphic object of uncertain date and function. The object has a sub-triangular body which is sub-rectangular in cross-section. The body of the object divides at the top terminating with two rounded projections or ears. The ears are concave on the outer face of the object and convex at the rear. Between the ears on the 'head' of the object is a projecting snout which is lozenge shaped in cross-section. The snout is almost complete however any surface detail has been lost with the patina, probably due to abrasion from within the plough soil. The lower part of this fac…

A copper alloy unidentified object probably dating from the medieval to the post medieval date. The object is bifrucated at one end with a triangular shaped void between each projection. The opposite end of the object is incomplete and forms a U-shape due to the incomplete terminal. Below the incomplete terminal are two horizontal ridges decorated on the outer face with ropework. These ridges have been filed down at the rear of the object. Possible functions include a drop handle such as DENO-2817C7 or YORYM-914600 however these are usually not as curved in profile.

A copper alloy object of uncertain function probably dating from the medieval to post-medieval period. The object is conical in plan with a thickened central body which tapers at each end in width towards a break. The central body of the object is decorated with three circumferential ridges. Each end narrows in width measuring 8mm in diameter where it terminates. The object has a mid-dark green patina. Although the function of this fragment is uncertain the patina and condition of the metal suggests a medieval to post-medieval date. Dimensions: 25mm in length, 24mm in width, 42.3g

A lead alloy object of uncertain date and function. The object consists of four conjoined oval projections each with a raised central pellet. The outer edges of the object are undulating and the rear is uneven and irregular. The object appears to be an unfinished peace where the edges have not been filed down and the ovals left un-separated (if they were intended to be separated) however its function is unknown. Another possibility is that it a cast jet with the runners removed and therefore is casting waste. The object has a smooth mid-white patina. Dimensions: 54mm in len…

An incomplete copper alloy object of Post-Medieval date. The object is sub-oval in plan and semi-circular in cross-section. It is decorated with grooves throughout its length on the outer face. The open end of the object terminates with a break. The object is corroded and has traces of a mid-brown patina on the outer face. The object is similar to a Post-Medieval saddle pommel howver is too small to have functioned as such. A saddle pommel would have been riveted onto a wooden protrusion on the front of the frame of the saddle, to which the reins could then be secured. Saddles were…
