An incomplete copper-alloy medieval stirrup, of Medieval dating (c. 14th century AD). Around 25% of the stirrup is present, consisting only of the attachment end with a trapezoidal cover plate. The arms and foot rest are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. At the attachment end is a trapezoidal cover-plate, expanded at its base. The object has a trapezoidal cover-plate with a double collar border around its base and a smooth top edge, which is bevelled and well worn. The border does not, in this example, continue onto the side plates, which are angled at approximately 75 degree…

An incomplete lead or tin alloy (pewter) spoon of Post Medieval to Modern dating (c. AD 1750 - c. AD 1900). Approximately 40% of the spoon remains consisting of part of the bowl and part of the handle. Around 25% of the bowl is present and the angles at the shoulder are suggestive of a fig shaped bowl. No maker's mark appears to be present. The bowl appears to have been flattened, probably as a result of time within the plough soil. There are incised scratches on the surface of the bowl however it is unclear whether this is decoration or post depositional dama…
