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.

An unidentified object of possible modern date. The object consists of a curved sub-oval piece of wood, one edge of which has been covered in copper alloy. The wood is cracked and frayed due to drying out and the copper alloy encrusted and corroded. Seven circular rivets attach the copper alloy to the wood. The object is possibly nautical, though its size suggests perhaps from a smaller vessel rather than ship. Possibly the copper/bronze tipping of an oar blade, a fitting off a cutter or lifeboat? Although found within a blue clay layer the rivets suggest a more modern date.

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 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 unidentified lead alloy object, of uncertain date. The object is rectangular in plan and flat. It is stamped with the Roman numeral or letter V in the centre through which there is a crack. The rear of the object is undecorated. It has a light brown patina. The object may have functioned as a Post-Medieval cloth seal which were often rectangular; however although the upper edge is incomplete, there is no evidence of attachment. Another possibility is that it was metal working debris used as a practice piece.
