This measures 3mm in diameter. The object is decorated with c.22 moulded ridges which run down the body of the object. The remains of gilding are visible between the ridges.

A cast copper alloy unidentified object dating from the Roman to the Post-Medieval period. The object is rectangular in plan and consists of a curved 'arm' which terminates with a point. The opposite end expands outwards and is irregular in form. The object has a dark black patina. The object is undecorated. The function of the artefact is not known, but may be a type of latch or some such functional, rather than decorative artefact.

A cast copper alloy object of uncertain function dating to the Roman period, (AD43-410). The object is sub-oval in plan and slightly curved in profile. One end of the object is rounded while the opposite end is sub-rectangular in cross-section. The object is decorated with a series of cells which are in-filled with enamel. In the centre of the object are two C-shaped cells facing each other, one is in-filled with green enamel and the other with red. Either side of these cells is a 'sideways Y-shaped' cell.

A cast copper alloy object probably dating to the Bronze Age. The object is oval in plan and cross-section. It is slightly curved in profile. The central perforation is oval in plan with a slightly raised rim on the upper (concave) face of the object. The perforation has an internal length of 11mm and a width of 6mm. The object is almost complete however the edges have been nibbled away in places due to corrosion and possibly through movement in the ploughsoil. There are no forms of attachment. The object has a smooth mid-brown patina and is in fair condition. The function of this …

Broad period: ROMAN
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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, 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 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…

Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy unidentified object of Unknown date and uncertain function. This 'Y'-shaped hollow object has three cylindrical arms. One arm is longer than the other two and each arm swells towards their terminal ends. Each of the arms has a small circular longitudinal perforation, suggesting that it could have been threaded onto a relatively thin string or strings, perhaps to hold them in place and distribute them evenly. A casting seem is visible along on edge of the object. The holes have a diameter of c. 3mm. The object is corroded and has a variable green patina in places. …

A piece of copper-alloy morphologically similar to the shape of a flat axehead, possibly casting waste from a manufacturing process. The object is roughly pear shaped in silhouette, with a rough texture that appears to be partly from corrosion and partly from the natural grain of the metal.
