One half of a cast copper alloy quillon or guard, probably from a dagger or knife probably from the early medieval period (c.AD 950-1100).
The quillon is an elongated ovate shape with a curved profile and raised rim to the lower aspect. The object has a worn break at the sub-rectangular perforation which has now created a 'U' shape. The underside is grooved towards the perforation as is typical of early medieval quillons. As complete, the perforation would have served as the slot through which the blade would have slotted into the grip.
The object has a light green patina.

An incomplete cast copper alloy end looped cosmetic pestle of late Iron Age to early Roman date (c. 100BC - AD200).
The pestle has a cylindrical shank that has a rounded terminal and is slightly curved. At the head of the shank is a worn edge that would have formed the base of the loop. The loop would have extended from the shank and then curved to meet the shank with a rounded tip. Jackson (2010, p.87, no. 70) describes the loop of a similar example as 'a stylised aquatic bird's head, with everted dished bill'.
The object is worn and have a light green patina, the surface of which is further worn away at the terminal of the shank revealing a bright green patina.
A similar example comprising a complete set of pestle and mortar was found in an Iron Age woman's grave (Jackson, p.75, no. 22), and there was an intensity of use of cosmetic mortars in the 1st to 2nd century AD (ibid. p.69). Therefore an Iron Age to Roman date is suggested for this object. Jackson states that cosmetic sets are an entirely British phenomenon (p.67) and were often selected as grave goods and dedicated at temples (p.69). Similar examples can be found on p.75, no. 22; p.87, no.70; p.72, no. 10, and p.167, no. 391 (also from an Iron Age context).

Cast copper alloy fragment of a possible chafing dish handle dating to the late medieval to post medieval period (1350-1600).
The object is asymmetrical in shape and has a cylindrical shaft that. At one of the shaft is a large knop that is pierced to allow the attachment of another shaft. At the top of the knob is a worn lug that may have continued into a further shaft but is now too worn to determine. The opposite end of the main shaft continues in two directions, the lower into a small sub-rectangular sprue that flattens at the end and the other into a curved curved edge with a bulbous end. This end is rounded and has a sub-rectangular groove which may have allowed for another component to attach on.
The object is worn and has a mottled black patina.
The identification of the object is uncertain but resembles DENO-AF430D as a chafing dish handle, however it may possibly be a fragment of another type of object.

An incomplete copper alloy S-shaped 'snake belt' fastener, dating to the Post-Medieval period, (c. AD 1575 -c.1800). This fastener is in the form of a curved snake forming two hooks. The fastener is decorated on one face with an animal head terminal at one end and with worn moulded scale-like decoration. The snake has raised and rounded pellets representing the eyes. The object expands in width from the head before narrowing as it curves into the tail where it terminates. Within the curve of the 'neck' is a large lump of corroded metal which was probably once an attachment loop/ring. The object has a mid-brown patina with light green corrosion in places and is worn.
Dimensions: 43mm in length, 18mm in width, 4mm thick, 14.6g.
S-shaped 'snake belt' fasteners were probably associated with sword belts in the 17th and 18th centuries and parallels can be seen in Read's (2008) Hooked-clasps & Eyes: p230-231. The examples with swan heads are widely considered to be late 16th to 17th century (Geake 2001: 35). Fasteners with snake heads continue in use on military and boys belts well into the 20th century.

A copper alloy zoomorphic knife terminal dating to the post-medieval period. The object is in the form of zoomorphic head with a rounded projecting snout, probably representing a dog. At the top of the snout are two circular depressions to represent eyes. At the front of the snout is a linear grooved mouth. The back of the head is rounded and the 'neck' of the object has an oval cross-section. At the base of the object a rectangular slot is visible from which the blade of the knife would have projected. The object has a worn dark brown surface with patches of a dark brown patina remaining in places.
Dimensions: 15mm in length, 15mm in width, 8.5mm thick, 9.0g
This end cap is from a scale-tang knife of Post-Medieval date. Similar examples are recorded on the PAS database (e.g. BERK-D1C8B1, SF-D9F891, YORYM-1C6370, or NLM-53D197) and indicate a probable date range in the 16th or 17th centuries for the current example.

A copper alloy dress fastener of post medieval date. The object consists of an oval plate with three perforated lugs for attachment, two at its base, flanking an integral sub-rectangular attachment loop and one at the opposite end, expanding from a slightly flanged collar. Each perforation, used for sewing attachment. Expanding from the centre of either side is a worn bifurcating scrolled knop.
The front of the plate is decorated, all cast in low relief, with a central oval field containing a scrolled motif potentially incorporating a central en face mask. The central motif is too worn to identify with certainty. Surrounding the central motif are two raised oval borders. The rear of the object is flat and undecorated.
Dimensions: 36mm in length, 19mm in width, 1mm thick, 3.7g

A silver-gilt composite dress hook dating to the early Post-Medieval period. The object consists of a silver lozenge shaped reverse plate with a raised and separate quatrefoil riveted to the back plate by a large domed bossed rivet in the centre. Each point of the quatrefoil terminates with a fleur-de-lis. Between each fleur-de-lis is a rounded projection.
The back-plate of the object has engrailed edges and trefoil knops on the apexes. The engrailed edges and knops are gilded. The projecting sections of the engrailed edges are decorated with two small linear grooves. The straight edges of the back-plate are decorated with a series of small grooves on the front face of the object. The rear of the back-plate is pierced with a central hole through which the end of the rivet projects. Above the hole is a raised transverse bar. Below the hole are two linear ridges, or scars between which the rearward hook would have been soldered. File marks are visible on the rear of the object beneath the transverse bar.
Dimensions: 25mm in length, 25mm in width, 10mm thick (including transverse bar), 5.4g
The object can be classified as Read's early Post-Medieval Class D, Type 3, Read, (2008). A Similar example recorded on the PAS database as SWYOR-699EE7 Treasure case, 2006 T423 can also be found in Read (2008), p65.
An example with a similar back-plate from Cheshire is LVPL-B16A24 Treasure case, 2014 T842.
The object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal and is over 300 years old. Consequently it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 in terms of both age and precious metal content.

An incomplete Roman copper alloy Colchester derivative, Polden Hill brooch, see Mackreth 2011, Chapter 3, Part 3, CD PH 4. a-b. The head of the brooch arched curving downwards and tapering towards the rounded foot. The wings of the brooch are tubular and capped at each end. The object is a sprung example with the spring coiling round nine times on the axis bar before extending in the center to form the incomplete pin. The pin terminates with a recent break.
At the top of the head is a rearward hook which would have secured the spring in place. Either side of the rearward hook is a triangular groove, the point of which joins together at where the head straightens to form the bow. The grooved triangle is infilled with punched ovals. The catchplate is almost complete and has a rectangular perforation due to damage. The top of the catchplate is broken and may have had openwork decoration when complete.

A copper alloy scabbard chape dating from the late Medieval or early Post-Medieval period, AD 1475-1600. The chape is a sub-shield shape in plan. The upper edge has a 'W' shape created by the removal of two V-shaped notches. Below this is a cast raised transverse ridge. The base of the chape is smooth and undecorated.
File marks are visible on each face of the object. The sheet back plate is now missing; at the join there appears to be a white metal solder. The object has a smooth dark green patina.
Dimensions: 45mm in length, 28mm in width, 3mm thick, 12.6g.
The style of the chape suggests it dates to the late Medieval, or more probably the early Post Medieval period. Ward-Perkins (Ward-Perkins, J.B. 1940 London Museum: Medieval Catalogue London) classifies this type of chape as Type VI dating it to the late 15th to 16th centuries and suggests there is not enough detail to suggest whether the chape is from a dagger or sword scabbard.

A fragment of lead alloy casting waste of uncertain date. The object is sub-oval in plan and is flat. One surface is smooth and worn while the opposite face has a raised ridge, possibly a casting seem.

Casting waste is very hard to date in isolation. As casting waste represents re-usable metal, it was often retained and regularly turns up in founder's hoards. It can however also be found in isolation. The object has a dark grey patina suggesting a post-medieval date is probable.

A post-medieval (1500-1700) strap fitting (belt mount): The copper alloy strap fitting is lozenge shaped in plan . The underside of the mount has two oval sectioned inward facing integral studs or lugs. These studs would pass through the strap leather and hold the fitting in place. In the centre of the rear of the brooch is a circular depression which may have held a central boss in place on the outer face. The outer face is decorated with a recessed central lozenge shaped panel. The outer surface of the mount is heavily abraded and has a dark green patina.
Dimensions: 38mm in length, 27mm in width, 3mm thick, 8.5g.
Strap fittings have been in use from the late Medieval to Post Medieval period. Egan (2005; p. 39) comments that when they were used as dress accessories and continued on horse harness straps into the 18th century. This is likely to be a Post Medieval example.
