An incomplete probable casting jet from copper casting, of uncertain dating (2350 BC to AD 1800). The casting jet is conical in shape. The top surface is sub oval in shape, with a rounded edge, and a concaved surface. Below this, the jet narrows to a point, with slightly facetted sides. It measures 13.9 mm in length, 20.7 mm wide and 20.7 mm thick. It weighs 14.2 g. The casting jet is a mid to dark green colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original …

An incomplete fragment of probable silver casting waste, of uncertain dating, but probably Roman to Medieval (AD 43 to AD 1500). The fragment is sub oval in plan and section. The upper surface is smooth, whereas the lower surface is pitted. It measures 22.76 mm in length, 12.17 mm wide and 7.15 mm thick. It weighs 7.9 g. It is a mid to dark grey / silver colour, with an even surface patina. As the fragment is undiagnostic of date and function, it can not be proved that it is older than 300 years old, and is therefore not classified under the requirements of the Treasure Act 19…

An incomplete fragment of probable silver casting waste, of uncertain dating, but probably Roman to Medieval (AD 43 to AD 1500). The fragment is irregular in plan and section. It measures 25.15 mm in length, 13.47 mm wide and 9.28 mm thick. It weighs 8.5 g. The finder initially identified this item as 'hack silver', however due to the appearance of solidified molten runs, it is more likely to be casting waste than 'hack silver'. The metal is believed to be silver, but XRF testing refused to confirm as it could not focus on the artefact. Barry Ager (British Museum) has stated …

A fragment of cast copper alloy, probable casting waste, of uncertain dating (2150 BC to 1700 AD). However, due to the lack of context and continuation of casting styles, this fragment could be dated from the Bronze Age through to the Post Medieval Period (c.2150 BC - 1700 AD). The fragment is irregular in plan and cross section. It has an irregular, rough surface. It is a mid to dark green colour. An even patina covers the surface. It measures 49.21mm in length, 40.37mm wide and 6.65mm thick. It weighs 16.1 grams. In appearance, the fragment does display some similar…

An irregular fragment of copper alloy casting waste, of uncertain dating, but possibly Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval (1400 - 1800 AD). The casting waste fragment consists of a sub rectangular sheet, with uneven, almost bubbly surfaces. It is sub rectangular in cross section. Two edges are smooth and unabraded, indicative of a fairly recent break. It is a mid grey colour, with a couple of areas which display a distinctive shiny sheer to it. This shiny sheer is suggestive that the copper alloy has a high tin content. The weight of the fragment is suggestive that lead …
