A copper alloy zoomorphic unidentified object of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. The object is C-shaped in plan and sub-triangular in cross-section. It consists of a curved outer frame which terminates with an animal head at each end. Each terminal is in the form of an animal, possibly a snake or a dog with moulded rounded ears and ridged brows. The eyes are no longer visible and the jaws are open wide. Projecting from the open jaws is a small rounded terminal measuring 2.97mm in diameter and 2.77mm in length. These projections are rounded and very regular appearing to be complete. …

A cast lead alloy unidentified object of uncertain date. The object is circular in plan and conical. There is no decoration on any face of the object. The edges are smooth and rounded. The object may have functioned as a gaming piece or weight, however due to its un-diagnostic nature this cannot be certain. Alternatively it may have been formed as casting waste. The light cream patina is suggestive of an early date however objects such as this were in use from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period.

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…

A cast copper alloy object of Roman date. The object has a curved handle or stem, which is zoomorphic, probably in the form of a dolphin. The stem terminates with a sub-oval snout which projects upwards from the head. The lower part of the mouth/snout terminates with a break and it may have continued on with another dolphin head forming a loop, with the opposite side being symetrical. The head which is sub-triangular in cross-section is angled at the outer edge forming a crest and is decorated on each side with a series of diagonal grooves. At the centre of each side is a stamped r…

An incomplete cast copper alloy unidentified object probably dating to the 16th century. The object consists of a rectangular band from which projects three sub-rectangular sectioned 'arms' which expand into three conjoined ovals. The voids between each 'arm' forms openwork decoration. The oval projections are decorated with moulded cross-hatching. The outer face of the object is gilded while the internal face is undecorated. It is curved in profile. The exact function of this object is unknown however the style and gilding suggest a 16th century date.

A cast copper alloy unidentified object, possibly a decorative pin or mount, of later medieval or post-medieval date (1400-1700). The object is broadly sub-rectangular in plan with flared 'heart shaped' terminals at either end and is probably complete. It has a sub rectangular cross-section. The central part of the fitting is thickened and a vertical hole has been drilled from the upper-lower edge. The hole is central and is oval. A circular sectioned pin remains within the hole, rising up from the top of the object before turning back on itself (rearwards), tapering downwards and ter…

A cast copper alloy object probably dating to the Roman period of uncertain function. The object is pelta shaped in plan and is incomplete. Each end of the object curves round forming an incomplete oval but terminates with recent breaks. It is unclear whether each 'arm' would have joined or remained separate. Either side of the object is an incomplete perforation the edges of which are bevelled on either side. At the centre of the wider end of the object is an incomplete projection which terminates with an ancient break. This may have formed a decorative knop or an attachment loop. …

A cast copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date. The object consists of an oval sectioned bar of copper alloy which has been twisted round to form an oval loop at one end which has been flattened. At the opposite end the object curves to one side (transverse to the loop) terminating with an ancient flattened break. The terminal of the object is split at the upper face 13.62mm from the end. It is uncertain whether or not the split is deliberate as it is very neat. Possible functions for the object include a buckle or a brooch pin however for it to function properly the loo…
