WMID-9C9C83: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER
An incomplete enamelled copper alloy button and loop fastener, of Roman Wild 1970, Type VIa dating (2nd Century AD). Less than 50% of the button and loop fastener is present, consisting of the head of the button and loop fastener. The loop and part of the shank are missing. The head is rectangular and decorated with two colours of enamel, probably red and blue. The enamelled decoration is split into two styles. On one side is an alternating triangular pattern, with red inward facing triangles on one side and blue on the other. The other side has five rectangular cells, with alternating enamel. The reverse of the head has an incomplete circular sectioned shank, with a right angle bend at the patinated break. It measures 18.6 mm in length, 21.6 mm wide and 12.1 mm thick (including shank). It weighs 5.4 g. The fastener is a mid green colour, with an even surface patina. The style of decoration on the head of the button and loop fastener is consistent with that of a Wild Type VIa (1971). Some similar examples have been recorded on the PAS database including: SOM-BF7D5F, PUBLIC-D181A6,LVPL-C1A9A3 and LVPL-B45CF7. According to Wild, 'The number of fasteners found on military sites suggests strongly that they were items of military equipment' (ibid. 146); he also states that they are unlikely to have been made after the end of the 2nd century AD (ibid.).

WMID-19F573: WEIGHT
A conical lead alloy weight of probable Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410). The weight is conical in form. The sides of the weight flare to the flat circular base.The upper edge has a flattened top. The base is flat. An incomplete iron suspension loop was secured through the weight. The weight is undecorated. It has a height of 32.4 mm. The base diameter is 41.30 mm and the top diameter is 24.0 mm. It weighs 314.5 g (11.09 oz). It is equivalent to one Roman Libra. The weight is an off white colour, with an even surface patina. Weights can be hard to date due to being a functional item that has not altered significantly over time. Biggs and Withers (2000) note that standing weights made of lead were still used in comparatively recent times. It is possible that when compared to historical weight systems, the weight in grams links to 1.0 pound in the English Troy bullion system.

WMID-46BC5F: HARNESS FITTING
A complete, cast, copper-alloy, strap-mounted terret of Roman date, around AD 43 - 250, of Lewis type xix. The terret comprises a main ovate ring with an integral rectangular loop projecting from the base. The main ring is bottom-heavy displaying wear one one face. The ring has a tapering ovate section and the loop is sub-rectangular in section. The terret is undecorated. The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The terret is 40.5 mm long, 30.9 mm wide, 12.3 mm thick and weighs 35.7 g. Compare YORYM-83701C and see Lewis (2015). Terret rings were used as rein guides on chariots or carts used during the Late Iron Age to Early Roman period. They were set in a line along the yoke and five terrets were usually used per chariot. This suggested function is supported by evidence of wear or fractures on many examples. The Stanwick / Melsonby hoard included a complete set of such horse trappings. Based on depositional contexts of excavated examples Lewis (2015, p.114) concludes that such terrets are current in Britain from the mid-first century AD to the mid third century AD. While they are relatively common finds there is no known evidence for their manufacture in Britain. It is possible though that such objects were made in Britain rather than imported (2015, p.112).

WMID-6514D0: COSMETIC MORTAR
An incomplete copper alloy end looped cosmetic mortar, typically dating from the Late Iron Age to the Early Roman period (1st to 2nd Centuries AD). Approximately 25% of the mortar is present, consisting of the terminal end. The suspension loop is missing. The mortar has a plain, relatively shallowed bowed profile. The terminal end of the mortar is plain, without any form of decoration. The mortar itself has a shallow U shaped cross section. In plan, it is broadly triangular in shape. The interior (grinding surface) is smooth. The mortar measures 19.8 mm in length, 10.7 mm width and 5.0 mm thick. It weighs 2.4 grams. The mortar is mid green to mid brown in colour. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface patina & detail. Cosmetic mortars can be otherwise known as woad or cosmetic grinders. They come as part of a set of two artefacts, the mortar and the pestle. Ralph Jackson published a corpus of known examples in 1985. Over 200 examples have been recorded on the PAS database. Reference: Jackson, R. 1985 Cosmetic sets from Late Iron and Roman Britain.

WMID-59F199: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER
A complete copper alloy button and loop fastener, of Early Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 200). The fastener consists of a flat discoidal head, with a rectangular sectioned shank fixing to the centre of the reverse. The shank extends out into a triangular loop. The front of the disc has been decorated with a long cross. It measures 33.3 mm in length, 17.2 mm wide and 13.2 mm thick. The discoidal head has a diameter of 18.0 mm. It weighs 9.1 g. The fastener is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Similar button and loop fasteners are illustrated by J. P. Wild (1970: fig. 1), although this example doesn't fit into any of the subdivisions within this category. According to Wild, 'The number of fasteners found on military sites suggests strongly that they were items of military equipment' (ibid. 146); he also states that they are unlikely to have been made after the end of the 2nd century AD (ibid.). Several similar fasteners have been recorded on the PAS database, although quite a few exhibit enamelled decoration on the head. These include: WMID-2D5391, WMID-1A41C6, BH-4A4560, PUBLIC-304C81, NCL-B8F822, LEIC-2A1E46 and NLM-E516E0. Reference Wild, J.P. 1970. Button and Loop fasteners in the Roman Provinces.

WMID-5962E9: SEAL BOX
An incomplete enamelled copper alloy circular plate, possibly a seal box lid of Roman dating (AD 100 to AD 300). The plate is flat. Trace remains of a catch plate or attachment lug are visible on the reverse. The upper surface is decorated, consisting of a raised border which is filled with two concentric raised circles. Between the border and the outer circle is a series of 8 smaller raised circles containing enamel (colour uncertain). The surrounding field has patches of a blue enamel. Inside the outer circle is a small central circle, the same size as the 8 small ones, now empty and the field between these two is now empty but was originally enamelled. The edges are damaged and incomplete. It has a diameter of 21.8 mm and is 1.8 mm thick. It weighs 2.2 g. The possible seal box lid is a dark brown colour, with an even surface patina. The lack of both catch plate and hinge lugs, and lack of damage around the edges, would suggest that this circular disc is not a disc brooch but probably a seal box lid. Similar to YORYM-2E4ADA; KENT-5C00FE, NMS-B5285B, LEIC-76F141, LEIC-79E063 and SUSS-7A5C04.

WMID-31F7DE: BROOCH
An incomplete enamelled and copper alloy dragonesque style brooch, of Roman dating (AD 80 to AD 200). Over 75% of the brooch is present, consisting of the main plate and the top part of the pin. The brooch consists of a central plate, representing the body, with a constricted neck curving upwards and matching tail curving downwards. Circular annulet style eyes are present on each terminal, with a line of punched pellets around the outer edge. Red enamel infilled the annulet recess. The ear curves downwards from the head, and terminates with a rounded end. A matching ear is on the lower terminal, and curves round to attach to the base of the lower terminal. The central plate has been decorated with enamel. It has a rectilinear grid, two by two squares, with the lines across being continued ot the point. Enamel survives in the central squares and is alternating yellow and blue. Enamel only survives in one of the curved outer cells, and appears to be red in colour. The reverse is flat. The top of the pin survives as a piece of thick copper alloy wire curved around on the neck between the body and the upper terminal. It is 4.4 mm wide. It measures 52.1 mm in length, 26.8 mm wide and 6.0 mm thick (not including the pin head). 9.6 mm thick including the pin head. It weighs 14.9 g. The dragonesque brooch is a dark brown colour, with an even surface patina. This style of patina would suggest that it may have been in a waterlogged anaerobic environment. This style of dragonesque brooch has been classified as DRAG 3.a4, due to the style of enamelled decoration and the presence of enamel. Other examples recorded on the database include: LIN-C8A0F7, NLM-92D1D9; LANCUM-16F7D8; NLM-5D7561 and NLM-92D1D9. Dragonesque brooches tend to be found in the northern counties, which makes this findspot quite southerly in it's distribution and means it is of local significance.

WMID-2DE22D: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman brooch of Colchester derivative, Polden Hill of Roman dating AD 80 to AD120. Around 25% of the brooch is present, consisting of the bow. The wings, spring, pin, foot and catch plate are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The bow is angular and hump back, resembling a comma. It is broken around 2/3 of its length. The wings are incomplete and consist of small stubs. A cylindrical recess is present behind the wings, this would originally have retained the spring. The reverse is undecorated. The bow tapers to a sharp point. It measures 44.4 mm in length, 13.4 mm wide and 15.1 mm thick. It weighs 12.8 g. The brooch is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.

WMID-0894FB: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy brooch of Colchester derivative Polden Hill (Mackreth Group 4, flat wing ends), Mackreth 2011, 4.a. Plate 46, of Roman date (AD 80 to AD 120). Approximately 50% of the brooch is present, with the pin and catch-plate. In plan, the brooch is almost T-shaped, and D-shaped in cross section. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile, with cylindrical wings projecting from either side at the top. Each wing has a semi circular pierced wing cap. Ridges are present at the shoulders of the brooch. The back of the brooch is undecorated. The spring is present behind the wings, secured in a cylindrical groove, with three coils on either side of the rearward facing hook. Traces of iron corrosion products would indicate that the pin may have been iron. The foot terminates in a globular knop. The brooch measures 52.0 mm in length, is 21.0 mm wide across wings and 15.6 mm thick. It weighs 13.5 g. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, with an uneven patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface. Similar brooches can be seen in Richard Hattatt's Visual Guide to Ancient brooches (p 300, fig 159). Similar brooches have also been classified by Mackreth 2011 as a Colchester Derivative (Polden Hill), Part 3, 4.a. Plate 46.

WMID-086F74: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy brooch of uncertain type, of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 200). Less than 25% of the brooch is present, consisting only of the catch plate and foot. The bow, wings, head, spring and pin are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The brooch fragment is sub triangular in plan. The catch plate is triangular with folded edge to retain the pin. A rounded foot knop is present. It measures 33.6 mm in length, 12.2 mm wide and 3.9 mm thick. It weighs 3.5 g. Triangular catch plates are found on several types of Roman brooches, including Hod Hill, Trumpet and T shaped brooches, so it is not possible to classify this brooch fragment to a specific type.

WMID-053949: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy millefiori enamelled disc brooch of 2nd to 3rd Century AD dating. Over 75% of the brooch is present, with the pin and catchplate missing. The front of the brooch is a large circular flat disc. The front is decorated with millefiori enamelling in three concentric bands inside concentric metal reserves. The outer edge of the brooch is raised to contain the enamelling. The outer circle has been made up from alternating blocks of blue and white chequerboard with a yellow and green chequerboard enamel inbetween. The middle one is probably yellow and green enamel. The central one has a central circular hole (internal diameter 3.1 mm), with alternating diagonal petals of blue and white with probably yellow enamel between. On the back of the brooch are the remains of two lugs and the catchplate. The catch plate is diagonally opposite the lugs, and just the base remains. The lugs survive to a height of 6.8 mm. It has a diameter of 42.3 mm and is 9.4 mm thick (including lugs), 3.3 mm thick (not including lugs) and weighs 22.7 g. The brooch is a mid to dark green with an even surface patina. Some of the colours of the enamel have survived relatively well (white, blue) but the green and yellow less well. Examples of brooches with this type of enamel are recorded in Bayley, J & Butcher, S, 2004, Roman Brooches in Britain: A Technological and Typological Study based on the Richborough Collection, page 129- 130, figure 98. Numbers 369 & 370. The author's note that millefiori is the name used to describe small polychrome patterns in glass. These are made by arranging glass rods of various colours side by side, heating them just enough to fuse them and stretching the bundle of rods into a long thin cane. When cold slices can be cut from the cane and used as part of enamelled designs'', (ibid, p. 47). Other similar ones recorded on the PAS database include: DOR-8A9B68; GLO-549164; YORYM-889AFE; PUBLIC-82C6A4; WILT-7FF1D8; DOR-E48B7B; CORN-92FD03 and NMS-A710F0.

WMID-74331F: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Wroxeter type brooch of Roman dating (AD 80 to AD 200). The remains of the brooch consist of the head and bow. The spring, pin, foot and catchplate are missing. The head is comprised of an incomplete broadly oval flat plate. The lower edges of the plate at the reverse curve upwards slightly to form an enclosed semi circular cell. The bow protrudes from the lower section of the flat plate and is sub rectangular in section and curved in profile. The upper section of the bows is decorated with a double vertical row of rectangular cells. No trace of surviving enamel is visible. Below the cells the bow has a moulded ‘V’ shaped knop. Below this the bow then gradually tapers to a damaged terminal where the foot would have once extended. At the rear, the catch plate is incomplete, and consists of a vertical rib. The brooch measures 38.8 mm in length, 11.9 mm wide and 14.9 mm thick. It weighs 5.2 g. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. These types of brooch can be considered to be a variation of the trumpet brooch. Hattatt (2000) p. 331, fig 190) illustrates a similar brooch, No. 1538. This can be compared to Mackreth (2011) (Chapter 4, part 3, Wroxeter type 1b-1c illustrated on plate 77. This type of brooch date to 1st to 2nd centuries. A similar brooch has been recorded on the PAS database as NMGW-584299 discovered in Wales and WILT-8DAD17 discovered in Wiltshire. Hattatt, R.

WMID-62AFC5: KEY (LOCKING)
An incomplete copper alloy rotary key (locking), of mid Roman dating (AD 150 to AD 410). Less than 50% of the key is present, with the handle remaining. The shank and bit are missing due to post depositional breaks. The handle is of a debased fleur de lis / lys design, with a central pointed collared knop, above an inverted triangle with inward curving sides. The triangle tapers to a narrow waist, then expands to a triple moulded collar which would have been formerly attached to the shank; the collar has a square cross-section. It measures 52.5 mm in length, 20.3 mm wide, 12.6 mm thick and weighs 28.7 g. A similar example was found during excavations at Colchester and Crummy (1983, 126, no.4161) suggests that keys of this form all date to post AD 150. Several similar examples have been recorded on the PAS database including: KENT-E2BCA1; SWYOR-1FE093; DOR-40A7E0; WMID-8D2571; WMID-E17471 and WMID-97A001.

The top has an incomplete circular rivet hole (internal diameter: 2.2 mm) before extending downwards to a rectangular collar containing a second rivet hole. This one contains soil or iron corrosion products. It has an internal diameter of 2.2 mm. The main body of the strap end is an oval shape with an engraved decoration on the front. This has a central lozenge, with cross-hatching inside. On each corner are two stamped annulets. Beneath the lower corner, are two converging diagonal lines to another annulet, with two diverging lines beneath that. Around the top edge are short horizontal lines. The reverse is undecorated. It measures 42.2 mm in length, 11.8 mm wide and 1.9 mm thick. It weighs 2.6 g. The strap end is a dark green colour with an even surface patina. The shape of the strap end is similar to that of Late Roman Amphora type strap ends, like NMS-BC86D3, BERK-3724E1 and NARC-DA8E6B. However the decoration on the front of the strap end seems to be more consistent with a later dating, like Post Medieval 1500 - 1700 AD.

WMID-433DFB: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Colchester derivative brooch, of Roman dating, probably c. AD 80 to c. AD 120. Around 25% of the brooch is present, consisting only of the bow. The rest is missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The bow head is comma shaped in profile. Located at the reverse of the head is a broadly oval shaped concave recess where the spring would have been held in place. The foot is pointed, and the catch plate is present as a triangular plate with a folded rim. The foot has been bent at an angle of 115 degrees. Any decoration on the brooch has now been lost as the majority of the original surface has been abraded. It measures 58.0 mm in length, 4.8 mm wide and 7.6 mm thick. It weighs 4.7 g. The brooch is a mid dark green to brown colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement while within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of the majority of the surface detail. The fragmentary nature of the brooch makes typological identification uncertain, but it is probably that of a Colchester derivative brooch. Subtype uncertain.

WMID-F0132E: COSMETIC MORTAR
An incomplete copper alloy cosmetic mortar, dating to Late Iron Age to the Early Roman dating (1st to 2nd Centuries AD). The mortar is formed from a curved piece of copper alloy. The mortar has a U shaped cross section. It has an incomplete suspension loop situated on the upper edge on the opposing side to the groove. The loop has blunt terminals with well developed patinas suggesting an old break. The loop would have had a circular perforation when complete. Presumably this would have once been in the centre. The mortar then tapers slightly out from the incomplete suspension loop at one side to a rounded terminal. The opposing length terminates in a blunt edge. The interior (grinding surface) is smooth. The mortar measures 35.9 mm in length, 7.8 mm width at the centre and including the incomplete loop and 10.9 mm thickness in the centre. It weighs 7.4 grams. The cosmetic mortar has a mid-green coloured patina. The mortar is similar to other examples recorded on the PAS database, WMID-121861 and WMID-9AA734. These records state that "Cosmetic mortars can be otherwise known as woad or cosmetic grinders. They come as part of a set of two artefacts, the mortar and the pestle."

WMID-71AE4A: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Polden Hill brooch of Roman date, circa (AD 80 - 120). The brooch consists of the head, wings, upper part of bow, rearward facing hook and spring. The pin, lower bow, foot and catchplate are missing. The bow head is hump-like, and slightly angular (comma shaped) in profile. The rearward facing hook is present on the head and is keeping some of the spring in place. The bow is broad and is broken at the mid point. Short converging grooves decorate the head, on either side of the rearward hook.The wings take the form of a cylinder capped with two perforated, circular wing caps. It has an open back, into which the spring fits snuggly. The spring is covered by iron corrosion products obscuring the details of the spring. This would indicate that the axis bar is made from iron. A decorative ridge is present at the shoulder between the wings and the bow. It has a length of 26.7 mm, 21.6 mm wide and 12.9 mm thick. It weighs 6.9 g. The brooch is a dark green colour with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. Mackreth's (2011: 73) group 4.d of the Polden Hill type is the closest fit for this brooch, particularly No.2065 and 1941. Similar brooches are on the PAS database, have been recorded in Shropshire (WMID-2C700E) and Worcestershire (WMID-6C72C6).

WMID-F370BC: BROOCH
An incomplete gilded copper alloy circular disc brooch, of Late Roman dating (c. AD 200 to c. AD 350). The brooch is approximately 50% complete, with pin, the central setting and some of the border missing. The front of the brooch has been separated into two separate areas: a central circle and a probable outer circular border. The areas are delimited by a raised flat border. The outer border (which also functions as a rim for the brooch) is missing. Remains of gilding are present in the outer border. The central area is empty, it may have originally held a gem or intaglio, which is now missing. The back of the brooch is plain and undecorated. Traces of silvering are present. The catch plate is incomplete and consists of an incomplete rectangular asymmetrical lug. The base of the hinge is present, as an incomplete lug on the opposing side of the brooch to the catch plate. The brooch measures 29.4 mm in length, 24.2 mm wide and 7.2 mm thick. It weighs 5.8 grams. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the ploughsoil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Several similar disc brooches have been recorded on the PAS database including: LVPL-9E0A66; WILT-110FA5; CAM-D88912; HESH-D7D585; LANCUM-591F32 and LIN-C14581. All are consistent with late Roman dating (c. AD 100 to c. AD 350).

WMID-F16266: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Wroxeter type brooch, of Roman dating (AD 80 to AD 200). Approximately 75% of the brooch is present, consisting of the bow, wings, foot and part of the catch plate. The spring and pin are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The remains of a rearward facing hook (to retain part of the spring) is present on the head of the brooch. To either side of the head, a semi circular wing extends, with a pierced wing cap. A cylindrical groove is present on the reverse, behind the wings. This would have retained the spring, now missing along with the pin. The bow protrudes from the centre of the bow head and is sub rectangular in section and curved in profile. The upper section of the bows' outer face is decorated with two parallel vertical cells each filled with traces of enamel (unclear colour). The bow gradually tapers towards an incomplete rounded foot knop. The catch plate is incomplete, located behind the front and consists of a vertical plate. The reverse of the bow is undecorated. The brooch measures 55.1 mm in length, 24.7 mm wide and 15.7 mm thick. It weighs 14.7 g. The brooch is a mid brown 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 surface detail. Bayley and Butcher (2004, p. 169) illustrate similar brooches, the 'Wroxeter' and 'Prestatyn' type brooches and separate these from the 'T' shaped examples. The recorded example is very similar to the 'Wroxeter' example and these date to late 1st century to the 2nd century (Bayley and Butcher: p. 169). These type of brooches are found commonly in North Wales and the Midlands (ibid). Similar brooches have been recorded on the PAS database as WMID-AC1675 and WMID-7AF6A5.

WMID-F67E58: BROOCH
A probable incomplete cast lead alloy form or model for the manufacture of a brooch, probably of the Polden Hill type of early Roman date (80-120 AD). The probable model is broadly 'T' shaped in profile. There are two short semi cylindrical wings extended from the head. Between the head and the right hand wing is a semi circular moulding. The left hand wing is incomplete. There is also no moulding at the side of the head. The bow head is hump-like (comma shaped) in profile. The bow tapers slightly to a break. The bow is incomplete and the foot and catch plate at the rear missing. At the rear of the head is a rectangular slot that would have housed the spring mechanism. There appears to be a vertical rib in light relief as decoration along the centre of the bow. The rear of the bow has a similar vertical rib in slightly higher relief. The probable model measures 29.6 mm in length, 20.1 mm in width across the wings, 9.8 mm in thickness and weighs 7.6 grams. The probable model has a mid to dark grey surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement while within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface patina. Usually these types of brooches date to the 1st to 2nd century, when they are made from copper alloy. However, this brooch is made from lead or lead alloy, and was made as the first stage to manufacturing brooches. Therefore they are rare and this only the seventh recorded example on the PAS database. Other examples include: Two from Worcestershire WAW-0BF416 and WMID865. Two from Shropshire HESH-BE5FAB and HESH-2D60D4 and a further example from Staffordshire HESH-3AF6F8. The find of this new example of brooch pattern adds weight to this Polden Hill type having a manufacture and distribution across the Severn Valley. It is possible that this is not a brooch model but a very battered spoon handle of Post Medieval dating, but the decoration on the potential bow is more consistent with the brooch model identification.

An incomplete copper alloy brooch of Colchester derivative, Polden Hill (Mackreth 2011, Part 3, Group 5, flat wing type, Western Group), c.f. Mackreth 2011, 5.b4.Plate 50, of Roman dating (AD 80 - AD 120). Approximately 50% of the brooch is present consisting of the upper part of the bow and wings. The lower half of the bow, foot, spring and pin are missing. The brooch is T-shaped in plan and the wings are semi-cylindrical. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile. A rectangular groove is present at the reverse of the head along the length of the wings. This still contains the spring, with a minimum of four coils each side. The wings are incomplete. The bow extends from the head and tapers to a broken terminal which has a well developed patina. The foot is missing. The original surface of the front of the bow is damaged and worn. The reverse of the brooch is undecorated. The brooch measures 18.6 mm in length, 25.8 mm wide and 8.6 mm thick across the head. It weighs 6.0 grams.

WMID-E33124: STEELYARD
An incomplete copper alloy possible steelyard of probable Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410). The possible steelyard has a square shank. One end has a double collar terminal, with central circular knop. The upper collar has been decorated with oblique slashes to create a ropelike decoration. The other end exhibits a patinated break. The square shank has several horizontal grooves across the width. It measures 63.2 mm in length, 4.6 mm wide and 4.2 mm thick. The head is 6.5 mm tall, with a maximum diameter of 8.5 mm. It weighs 9.1 g. The possible steelyard is mid to dark green in colour. Abrasion, caused by movement while within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the surface details. This artefact is likely to be a terminal of a steelyard, similar to WMID-184456 but as the grooves are not regularly spaced, this identification is not definite. It could be a pin but pin tend to have a circular cross section to the shank.

WMID-FE1ED9: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Wroxeter type brooch of Roman dating (AD 80 to AD 200). The remains of the brooch consist of the head and bow. The spring, pin and catchplate are missing. The head is comprised of a broadly oval flat plate. The lower edges of the plate at the reverse curve upwards slightly to form an enclosed semi circular cell. The bow protrudes from the lower section of the flat plate and is sub rectangular in section and curved in profile. The upper part of the flat plate possibly once extended into a loop as seen on other illustrated examples. The upper section of the bows is decorated with a double vertical row of rectangular cells. Four cells are pale blue in colour (probably originally green), two are a dark orange. The remaining cells are empty. Below the cells the bow has a moulded prominent circular knop. Below this, is an grooved partial collar. The bow then gradually tapers to a damaged terminal where the foot would have once extended as a bifurbicated knop. At the rear, the catch plate is incomplete, and consists of a vertical rib. The brooch is 65.2 mm in length, 13.8 mm wide and 21.7 mm thick. It weighs 11.5 g. The brooch has a mid-green coloured surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. These types of brooch can be considered to be a variation of the trumpet brooch. Hattatt (2000) p. 331, fig 190) illustrates a similar brooch, No. 1538. This can be compared to Mackreth (2011) (Chapter 4, part 3, Wroxeter type 1b-1c illustrated on plate 77. This type of brooch date to 1st to 2nd centuries. A similar brooch has been recorded on the PAS database as NMGW-584299 discovered in Wales and WILT-8DAD17 discovered in Wiltshire. Hattatt, R.

WMID-551B32: FINGER RING
A short section of a Roman copper alloy bracelet that has been cut and bent into a finger ring dating to c. AD 250-450. The object is formed of a strip of copper alloy. The strip is sub-rectangular in cross section with slightly rounded edges. This strip has been bent into a now mostly circular hoop that overlaps slightly. Both ends appear to be old breaks which suggests the object to be reused, most likely from a bracelet. Decoration on the exterior is hard to determine. It has an external diameter of 18.6 mm, an internal diameter of 14.7 mm. The finger ring is 4.0 mm wide and 1.7 mm thick. It weighs 1.8 g.

WMID-D651F5: BROOCH
An incomplete lead alloy possible model for a trumpet style brooch, dating from 75 to 175 AD. Around 25% of the possible model is present, consisting of the head. The head is conical and tapers to a point. The base is recessed with a depression at the centre. It measures 15.4 mm in length, 9.6 mm wide and 8.3 mm thick. It weighs 4.1 g. The possible model is a dark grey colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement while within the plough soil, has resulted in damage to the original surface. The shape of the artefact is consistent with that of a head of a trumpet brooch such as: WMID-876B71 and WMID-F1E0AD. No signs of a pin or spring mechanism would indicate that this is more of a model used in the manufacture of trumpet brooches than a brooch itself, similar to: HESH-BE5FAB and HESH-3AF6F8.

WMID-D3DB7E: COIN
A copper-alloy Roman sestertius, probably of Commodus (AD 180-192), perhaps dating to the period c.AD 190 (Reece period 9).

WMID-57EFCE: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman brooch of the Wirral type dating to c.AD 75-200. Around 50% of the brooch is present, with the foot, headloop and pin missing. It presents a stepped head the top of which would have connected to the now missing headloop. On the reverse of the head is the hinge mechanism which still retains the upper portion of the pin. From the base of the head stretches the bow which begins in a slightly rounded arch that then curves inwards and tapers to a narrowed end with an ornately rounded foot. The upper portion of the bow is decorated with a raised vertical panel, separated into three. No enamel remains in the cells. Beneath is a rounded knop after which the bow begins to taper. The reverse of the bow has the base of the catch plate remaining. It measures 35.2 mm in length, 16.7 mm wide and 17.2 mm thick. It weighs 10.0 g. Similar examples on the PAS database include WREX-BFC531, WMID-58C720, LVPL-CC186F and LEIC-B47B8D. The Wirral brooch is thought to have been derived from the trumpet brooch and dates from the 2nd century AD. This type of brooch is known as the Wirral type since the earliest discovery of this type was from the Wirral and it also now thought that this is where the main (if not only) production site was based (Philpott; 1999; 275). The main distribution of this type of brooch is the Wirral, Cheshire, North Shropshire and North Wales; with some outliers in the Vale of Glamorgan (Wales) and the North East.

An incomplete copper alloy trumpet brooch of Roman date (circa AD 75 to 175). The brooch consists of the head and the upper part of the bow. The foot and catch plate, spring and pin are missing. The brooch is 'C' shape in profile. The bow tapers from a flared head to a moulded waist and then terminates in an old break that is well patinated. The head of the brooch is sub-oval in plan, and tapers into the bow. The bow head is undecorated. The reverse of the head is flat and has a vertically placed integrally cast lug. The lug has an incomplete circular perforation placed slightly off centre. The lug would have held the spring and pin, which are both now missing. Located at approximately three-quarters of the way down the length of the bow is a rounded moulding. The moulding is flat on the reverse. The foot and catch plate are missing. There appears to be no further decoration on the brooch. The brooch measures 26.3 mm in length, 9.5 mm wide and 14.0 mm thick at the bow. It weighs 5.3 grams. The brooch is a mid green to brown colour with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail.

WMID-E402F8: COIN HOARD
Description: The find consists of four silver denarii of Roman Republican moneyers issued between 108 and 67 BC and one worn bronze Greek coin of the later Seleucid period (late second to early first century BC). See catalogue below. Count: 5 Total weight: 14.3 g Discussion: Roman Republican silver coins are thought to have entered Britain in the decades prior to the Roman conquest and continued to circulate in first century AD and later. This group of four is plausibly a small hoard deposited some time after the issue of the latest coin and probably in the first century AD. Seleucid bronze coins are very rarely found in Britain and not usually with other coins. There are no known hoards containing Roman Republican silver and Greek bronze. Although it is possibly a genuine ancient find rather than a more recent loss, it is on the balance of probability (as of a different metal and denomination not known to have circulated with denarii) unlikely to be of the same find as the Roman Republican denarii in the absence of archaeological evidence to support this association. Conclusion: All coins are older than 300 years. This coin hoard contains four silver coins. As such it exceeds the total number of coins (2 or more silver coins) required for the coins to be classified as a coin hoard under the requirements of the Treasure Act 1996. The bronze Greek coin cannot be shown to be of the same find as the Roman silver coins and therefore does not meet the requirements of the Treasure Act.

Subtle differences in the fabric can distinguish the origin of the pottery from South Gaul to Central Gaul or East Gaul. With the white flecks in the fabric, this sherd may have come from La Graufensque in South Gaul, and consistent with 1st to 2nd Century dating (1 - 150 AD). The bodysherd is suggestive of a plate type form, like Dragendorff type 18/31R, a wide shallow bowl. This form tends to date between 90 and 150 AD, depending on the original source of manufacture. A ridge is present on the exterior which may be part of a foot rim, but it is heavily abraded. Sherd specific details: Fabric type: samian Thickness: 7.8 mm Firing condition: oxidised exterior, oxidised core, oxidised interior. Hardness: Hard Surface treatment: red slip Surface texture: Smooth. Condition of sherds: Abraded. Sherd has been photographed.

An incomplete Colchester derivative, Polden Hill type brooch of Roman dating (Mackreth 2011, Part 3, Group 4.a-4.b, Plate 46, AD c. 90-130). Approximately 50% of the brooch is present, consisting of bow and wings. The pin, spring and foot are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The copper alloy brooch has semi-cylindrical wings. The wings are undecorated. The bowhead is hump-like in profile with a moulding on either side. The head and bow was probably undecorated. The bow is semi-circular in section and tapers to an incomplete foot. It measures 29.2 mm in length, 15.6 mm wide and 11.1 mm thick. It weighs 5.0 g The surface of the brooch has a mid green patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. The brooch is a Polden Hill type, Bayley and Butcher (2004:160) comment that the distribution of Polden Hill brooches are concentrated in the West Midlands. Mackreth classifies this type as Group 4b dating to AD c. 50 to 400. A very similar example is illustrated in Mackreth, Plate 46, No. 1911.

Just over half of the deep crescentic (or 'pelta') shaped plate survives. This is slightly concave, curving towards the reverse in profile. Running longitudinally down the centre of the outer face are two widely spaced raised lines with transverse lines between them, creating sub-rectangular cells filled with traces of reddish (possibly alternating with blue) enamel. The upper end of this strip projects beyond the edge of the plate, tapering to a point followed by a flattened knop, its outer face hollowed and filled with a trace of red enamel. Two small knops project at regular intervals from the curved outer edge of the plate and a larger knop with hollowed outer face from the upper corner of the crescent. The remains of a small circular loop projects from the centre of the lower edge. The right side of the outer face of the plate has a border of raised solid triangles running along its curved outer edge, alternating with triangular cells containing blue and red enamel. Behind this in the centre of the plate is a raised roughly S-shaped sinuous raised line with a pellet to either side surrounded by traces of blue enamel. To the reverse there is a complete double-lug pin fitting in the centre of the lower end and the remains of a catch-plate in the centre of the upper end.

An incomplete copper alloy Polden Hill type brooch dating to the Roman period (c. AD 75-175). The remains of the brooch consist of the head with complete wings, partial bow and spring. The majority of the bow and pin, as well as the foot and catch plate are all missing. The wings on either side of the head are cylindrical with flat pierced end caps. The characteristic Polden Hill ridges on either side of the bow on the head are apparent. The bow extends from the head and curves sharply downwards where it begins to taper before terminating in a worn break. There is a central ridge along the bow with the worn remains of X-shapes repeating twice down the bow as the ridge runs through the middle. On the reverse of the head the spring remains with the top loop partially intact and secured with the hook at the apex of the head of the brooch. Three coils are present either side of the pin. It measures 21.3 mm in length, 16.5 mm wide and 10.5 mm thick. It weighs 4.6 g. The object has a dark green patina. A comparable example can be seen in Mackreth vol. 2, no. 2014 (2011: 51).

An incomplete copper alloy brooch of Colchester derivative, Polden Hill (Mackreth 2011, Part 3, Group 5, flat wing type, Western Group), c.f. Mackreth 2011, 5.b4.Plate 50, of Roman dating (AD 80 - AD 120). Approximately 50% of the brooch is present consisting of the upper part of the bow and wings. The lower half of the bow, foot, spring and pin are missing. The brooch is T-shaped in plan and the wings are semi-cylindrical. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile. A rectangular groove is present at the reverse of the head along the length of the wings. This would have originally held the spring and the pin would have extended from this, however they are both now missing. The wings have a flat wing cap, with a circular perforation for the spring axis bar. These are both now incomplete. The bow extends from the head and tapers to a broken terminal which has a well developed patina. The foot is missing. The original surface of the front of the bow is damaged and worn, however it appears to be decorated with a central vertical rib. There are two further ribs located to each side of the head where it meets the wings. The ends of the wings are both decorated with three vertical grooves that form raised ribs in between the grooves. The reverse of the brooch is undecorated. There are number of Polden Hill brooches recorded on the PAS database that have a predominantly Midlands distribution extending along the Severn Valley. Parallels include WMID-825322 discovered in Worcestershire and WMID-4FEC52 discovered in Shropshire. The brooch measures 20.4 mm in length, 23.5 mm wide and 7.9 mm thick across the head. It weighs 2.7 grams. The object has a mid-green coloured patina across all surfaces. Mackreth, D.F. (2011) Brooches in Late Iron Age and Roman Britain. Oxford: Oxbow Books.

An incomplete copper alloy Roman Trumpet brooch, of Roman dating (75 AD to 175 AD). Approximately 25% of the brooch is present, consisting of the top of the bow. The head loop, the foot, catch plate, spring and pin are all missing. The top of the brooch consists of an angular bow descending from a plate below a head loop (now missing). The head of the brooch is complete, semi circular in plan, and tapers into the bow. Two diagonal ridges are present on either side of the head. The bow is D-shaped in cross section. At the shoulder (midway) point of the bow, there is a circular collar and then beneath that an arcanthus moulding. The bow terminates below the moulding. Otherwise the bow is plain and undecorated. The reverse of the head has the the remains of the axis bar, used to hold the hinged pin in place. It measures 32.9 mm in length, 21.2 mm wide and 13.2 mm thick. It weighs 6.9 grams. The brooch is a mid grey 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 surface detail.

WMID-9D5F3B: COSMETIC MORTAR
An incomplete copper alloy cosmetic mortar of Late Iron Age to Early Roman dating (c. 100 BC to 200 AD). Around 75% of the cosmetic mortar is present, with the centre loop incomplete and one terminal missing. The mortar has a plain, relatively shallowed bowed profile, with the suspension loop situated at the centre, with a collar base. The loop is incomplete. One end of the mortar is incomplete, with the tip broken post depositionally. The other end tapers to a blunt point. The mortar itself has a shallow U shaped cross section. The interior (grinding surface) is smooth. The mortar measures 41.2 mm in length, 9.4 mm width and 19.4 mm high. The grinding surface is 5.4 mm wide and 1.8 mm deep. It weighs 9.7 grams. The cosmetic mortar is dark green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Cosmetic mortars can be otherwise known as woad or cosmetic grinders. They come as part of a set of two artefacts, the mortar and the pestle. Ralph Jackson published a corpus of known examples in 1985. Several similar centre looped mortars have been recorded on the PAS database. These include: WMID5165; WMID-9AA734; WMID-5BB314 and WMID-D18931.

WMID-DF7CA6: PIN
A complete copper alloy pin, probably of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410). The pin has a circular cross section, and it tapers towards a sharp tip. The head is complete. It is square in shape, with bevelled corners, creating a diamond shaped face on two sides. These diamond shaped faces have four circular pits drilled into them with a diameter of 0.6 mm. On one face, these pits are arranged in a diamond pattern, on the other, they are more irregularly placed. Circular pits are placed in the upper and lower bevelled corners. A circular transverse perforation is present through the head, with an internal diameter of 2.5 mm. No collar is present. The shank is swollen at the top, with a diameter of 4.6 mm and gradually tapers down to a diameter of 1.6 mm at the tip. It measures 103.0 mm in length with a maximum diameter of 4.6 mm. The head measures 5.6 mm wide, 6.1 mm long and is 4.8 mm thick. It weighs 9.9 g. The pin is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. The pin was probably originally used as a hair pin, but it is possible that it was used to fasten items of clothing. The absence of a collar would suggest Roman dating. A couple of similar pins, with transverse perforations have been recorded on the PAS database as WAW-9B25B6 and HESH-0E75C0. These are also considered to be Roman in dating.

WMID-29563D: BROOCH
A fragment of a Roman copper alloy brooch, probably a T shaped type dating to AD 43 - 200 or Trumpet type brooch dating to AD 75 - 175. The majority of the brooch is missing and only the lower part of the bow and part of catch plate remains. The lower part of the bow is broadly an inverted triangle in profile and tapers to a rounded knobbed foot, with a collar above. The front of the bow is smooth and rounded. At the back, the edge curves upwards with several horizontal notches. The fragment measures 27.4 mm in length, 12.5 mm in width, 14.0 mm in thickness. It weighs 10.8 grams. The fragment has a mid-green coloured patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the surface detail.

An incomplete copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch dating to c.AD 110-350. See Mackreth (2011) TR 2.2d Plate 87 no.9991. The brooch is comprised of a triangular sectioned head that is marked by a central arris which spreads to form a shallow head. Integral to the top of the head is a complete circular headloop that is 6.2mm in internal diameter. Below the headloop on the reverse is the double lug for pin attachment. Only one lug remains, projecting 3.4 mm from the reverse of the head. The front tapers into a narrow bow. No surface decoration is visible. The bow terminates just below a horizontal ridge. It measures 33.7 mm in length, 20.3 mm wide and 14.1 mm thick. It weighs 5.2 g. The brooch is a mid green colour, with an even surface patina. Several similar brooches have been recorded on the PAS database, including LVPL-4037C8. Similar ones have been classified as TR 2.2d by Mackreth as part of his Trumpet brooch double lug group.

WMID-12594A: HARNESS FITTING
An incomplete harness fitting: skirted terret type of Roman (AD mid-1st century and mid-2nd century) dating. The terret ring is incomplete with the skirt being incomplete. The upper loop is complete with a D shaped cross section. The base of the loop expands and in width and sits on an integral skirt. The skirt on such terret rings are normally lozenge shape in plan with the two terminal corners being upturned, and the side corners are downturned. However on the recorded example only one downturned corner remains. The edges of the break are patinated. The underside of the skirt is hollow but protruding from each terminal there is a rectangular loop which is oval in section. The terret ring measures 38.3 mm wide, 49.4 mm tall and 18.9 mm thick at the skirt. It weighs 30.5 g. The terret ring is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Lewis (2015) classifies this terret as a skirted type (Figure 4 xx) and dates (ibid, 126) this type the mid first to at least the mid 2nd century. A similar skirted terret ring has been recorded as WAW-BB87BC.

An incomplete copper alloy Colchester Derivative, Polden Hill type brooch of The Eastern Group (Mackreth 2011, 78-80) dating to the Roman period (c. AD 80-120). The brooch consists of the head complete with wings and coiled spring in place with the spring chord running through the loop on the top of the head. The spring has eight coils. Iron corrosion products cover the spring and top of the head, suggesting the axis bar is iron. The wings are decorated with a rope-like design with two lines either side of the bow running at an angle mirroring the slope of the bow and two lines running vertically around the wing tips. The loop on top of the head accommodating the spring chord extends down the head and along the top of the bow forming a ridge before tapering out as the curve of the bow runs down to the foot. A series of incised horizontal lines decorate this ridge. The bow tapers to a narrow point terminating with a small foot. The catch plate is complete and has fretted openwork decoration. Only the pin is missing from the brooch. The lower third of the brooch has been bent around 30 degrees to the right. It measures 61.5 mm in length, 20.2 mm wide (across the wings) and 17.8 mm thick. It weighs 12.4 g. The brooch is a dark green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. Similar examples have been illustrated in Hattatt (2012: 300, fig. 159 nos 374 and 895); and Manning (1995: 76 nos 28 and 29). A similar brooch has been recorded on the PAS database as WMID-F56B17.

An incomplete copper alloy Roman brooch of Colchester derivative, Polden Hill (Mackreth 2011, Part 3, Group 4j,), c.f. Mackreth Type 4.j. Plate 48, AD c. 70-175 Around 50% of the brooch is present, consisting of both wings, head and bow. The brooch has two semi-cylindrical wings, which are short and undecorated. The bowhead is angular in profile and the bow is decorated with a double vertical rectangular, ridged panel. A rearward facing hook is present on the top of the head, this would have held part of the spring. A cylindrical groove is visible on the reverse of the head, this would have held the spring. The clay casting core is visible. A vertical ridge on the back of the lower bow is all that remains of the catch plate. It measures 40.7 mm in length, 16.8 mm in width and 8.7 mm thick. It weighs 4.4 g. The surface of the brooch has a dark green patina. Abrasion, caused by the movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. The brooch is a Polden Hill type, Bayley and Butcher (2004:160) comment that the distribution of Polden Hill brooches are concentrated in the West Midlands and suggest they date to AD 80 to 120. Mackreth (2011) classifies this type as a Type 4j and dates these brooches broadly to c. 70 to 175. A similar brooch has been recorded on the PAS database as WAW-9695A3.

An incomplete copper alloy Roman brooch of Colchester derivative, Polden Hill (Mackreth 2011, Part 3, Group 4j,), c.f. Mackreth Type 4.j. Plate 48, AD c. 70-175. Around 50% of the brooch is present, consisting of one wing, the bow and the foot knop. The brooch has a semi-cylindrical wing which is short and undecorated. The bowhead is angular in profile and the bow is decorated with a a column of lentoid mouldings either side of a vertical rectangular, ridged panel. A flattened spherical foot knop is present at the foot of the bow. The catch plate is missing. It measures 37.3 mm in length, 15.0 mm in width and 11.3 mm thick. It weighs 5.7 g. The surface of the brooch has a dark green patina. Abrasion, caused by the movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. The brooch is a Polden Hill type, Bayley and Butcher (2004:160) comment that the distribution of Polden Hill brooches are concentrated in the West Midlands and suggest they date to AD 80 to 120. Mackreth (2011) classifies this type as a Type 4j and dates these brooches broadly to c. 70 to 175. A similar brooch has been recorded on the PAS database as WAW-9695A3.

WMID-7ED551: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy trumpet brooch, of Roman dating (AD 75 to AD 175). Approximately less than 25% of the brooch is present, consisting only of the head and an incomplete spring lug. The rest of the brooch (bow, foot, spring and pin) are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The head of the brooch is oval in plan, and tapers into the bow. Blue enamel is present in probable symmetrical curvi-linear cells to either side of the head. The back of the head is concave and has a vertical integrally cast attachment lug. This attachment lug would have originally held the spring. The brooch is broken across the bow. The brooch fragment measures 20.5 mm in length, 12.5 mm wide and 9.8 mm thick. It weighs 3.1 g. The brooch is a mid green to mid brown 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 surface detail and enamel.

WMID-7EBC2A: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman decorated trumpet brooch, dating to circa AD 100-250. The brooch is almost complete apart from the missing pin and spring mechanism. The brooch is an inverted 'L' shape in profile and the bow tapers from an oval head to a circular foot knop. At the reverse of the head are the remains of a perforated lug that would have held the spring in place. The reverse of the head is broadly oval. At the reverse of the lower bow are the remains of the catch plate that extend from the upper moulded collar to the lower moulded collar above the foot knop. The pin-rest is lost. The foot of the bow terminates in a rounded foot knop which has a large circular pellet moulded in relief. The head is decorated with a central rib that is an inverted triangle shape in form. Either side of this rib are two curvi-linear lines that curve back round to the central rib. At the base of the head where the head meets the collar is a single circular pellet. Located just below the head at the upper part of the bow is a triple moulded rib that extends around the front of the bow and to the reverse. The moulding at the centre is more pronounced than the one above and below. The lower half of the bow has an integrally cast decoration consisting of a chevron (zig zag) design which extends vertically either side of a vertical pronounced rib. Below the chevron design is a further moulding above the foot. This consists of just one moulded rib that also extends to the reverse of the brooch, although here it is less pronounced. The brooch measures 50.5 mm in length, 16.0 mm wide across the head and 9.4 mm thick at the moulded collar. It weighs 13.8 grams. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Mackreth (2011) illustrates a similar example no 12350, plate 79, although this illustrated example does not have a circular pellet above the collar. Mackreth classifies this type as a standard Trumpet type 1, then 1.2 are further defined by their decorated heads, 1.2a are inlaid with another metal or alloy to offer a two tone effect. It is uncertain if this example from Staffordshire had the same detail as the original surface is worn and has developed a patina. Other examples of 1.2a type have been recorded on the database, LVPL-B3EDBB discovered in Cheshire West and LVPL-2D1AF4 discovered in Wrexham. Mackreth suggests the 1.2a type is mainly discovered in the Western side of England and also in Wales. Ref: Mackreth, D.F., (2011) Brooches in Late Iron Age and Roman Britain. Oxford, Oxbow Books.

A fragment of a copper alloy brooch of Roman date, possibly a Colchester Derivative dating to circa AD 43-200. The fragment consists of the upper part of the bow and the head. The object is broadly an inverted triangle in form. It is broad at the top and narrows to broken lower terminal. At the rear of the head of the brooch is a heavily corroded coiled spring and the remains of the pin. Visible iron staining suggests the coil was formed from iron. The brooch fragment measures 17.0 mm in length, 11.3 mm wide, and 5.6 mm thick at the head. It weighs 2.4 g. The object has a green/brown coloured patina.

WMID-01EFD4: HARNESS FITTING
A fragment (approx 5%) of a copper alloy probable harness ring (terret), probably Roman, probably 1st - 2nd century C.E. A solid, generally curved, comma-shaped copper alloy object, with a generally oval cross-section, which is probably a portion of a terret ring. The bow has a moulded knob projecting 7.2 mm transversely above an oval flat platform. The reverse is triangular in shape, and concave. Both ends of the fragment appear to have been broken: the breaks are worn. It measures 14.0 mm in length, 10.5 mm wide and 11.3 mm thick. It weighs 3.4 g. The fragment is a dark green colour with an even surface patina. If the object is interpreted as a part of a complete terret it could be described according to Lewis (2015, 91) as a terret having triple projections: a platformed knob at the apex of the terret with two transverse wings at the shoulders. This type of terret is described as restricted, in Britain, to Roman contexts of the first or second century (See Lewis, 2015, 80, x: Terret with triple projections) .

WMID-3BF6CE: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy with silver inlay trumpet style brooch, of Roman dating ( AD 75 to AD 175). Around 50% of the brooch is present, consisting of the head and part of the bow. The rest is missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The base of a head loop is visible at the top of the head. The head is angular in shape, and curves downwards into a circular cross sectioned bow. On either side of the head are curvilinear lines, some still with silver inlay in situ. The bow has several horizontal mouldings, mostly grooves but probably imitating the arcanthus style moulding found on some trumpet brooches. On the back of the head, a horizontal groove is present, with a vertical groove transecting it, indicating that the pin was hinged with an axis bar as opposed to sprung. The foot is missing. It measures 36.5 mm in length, 13.4 mm wide and 14.8 mm thick. It weighs 14.3 g. The brooch 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 surface detail. Some silver inlay is present, in the recesses of the design. As this inlay will not survive intact away from the brooch, unlike a silver rivet, it is not classified as potential treasure, under the association rule. No direct parallels to the shape of the head or the design of the brooch. Looking at it, it is a trumpet derivative style brooch and should therefore be classified as such and of a similar date, AD 75 to AD 175.

WMID-45F64C: FINGER RING
An incomplete copper alloy possible snake style finger ring, of possible Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410). The possible finger ring is shallowly plano-convex and terminates with a worn, snake head as seen from above. The features are worn, but the overall appearance is clearly Roman in style and finds many parallels in the literature. The shank tapers to the break; it is now bent over. It measures 28.7 mm in length, 6.0 mm wide and 1.7 mm thick. It weighs 2.1 g. The possible finger ring is a mid green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. A probable snake style finger ring has been recorded on the PAS database as LIN-4AFB22. Jewellery in the form of a serpent was popular during the Roman period, although they were generally more realistic in depiction than abstract. This identification has been suggested as a possibility as the artefact fulfills some of the snake finger ring characteristics but it is not definite.

WMID-3723DB: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy brooch of uncertain type, of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 200). Less than 25% of the brooch is present, consisting only of the catch plate. The bow, wings, head, spring and pin are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The brooch fragment is sub triangular in plan. The catch plate is triangular with folded edge to retain the pin. No foot knop present. It measures 19.8 mm in length, 7.7 mm wide and 2.8 mm thick. It weighs 0.9 g. Triangular catch plates are found on several types of Roman brooches, including Hod Hill, Trumpet and T shaped brooches, so it is not possible to classify this brooch fragment to a specific type.

WMID-B3D3B9: BRACELET
An incomplete copper alloy possible bracelet of possible Roman dating (AD 250 to AD 410). The possible bracelet fragment is rectangular in shape, with a D shaped cross section. The top edges are bevelled. Both short ends appear incomplete, with well patinated breaks. Both ends are flattened, whereas the central section is curved. One end demonstrated ridged decoration, possibly an devolved animal head. It measures 72.2 mm in length, 8.0 mm wide and 3.2 mm thick. It weighs 8.3 g. The possible bracelet is dark brown in colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. A definite identification has not been possible at the time of recording. It is similar to strip bracelets of Roman dating but no direct parallel has been found.

WMID-B09017: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy brooch of Colchester derivative Polden Hill (Mackreth Group 4, flat wing ends), Mackreth 2011, 4.a. Plate 46, of Roman date (AD 80 to AD 120). Approximately 50% of the brooch is present, with the pin, spring and foot missing. In plan, the brooch is almost T-shaped, and D-shaped in cross section. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile, with cylindrical wings projecting from either side at the top. Each wing has a semi circular pierced wing cap. A rearward facing hook is located at the back of the head. The bow is undecorated. The back of the brooch is undecorated. A cylindrical groove is present behind the wings. The foot is missing but a triangular catch plate extends from the back of the bow. The edge is folded over to retain the pin. The lower third of the brooch has been bent at a right angle towards the left. The brooch measures 47.7 mm length, is 17.7 mm wide across wings and 17.1 mm thick. It weighs 13.1 g. The brooch is a dark green colour, with an even patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface. Similar brooches can be seen in Richard Hattatt's Visual Guide to Ancient brooches (p 300, fig 159). Similar brooches have also been classified by Mackreth 2011 as a Colchester Derivative (Polden Hill), Part 3, 4.a. Plate 46.

WMID-B03736: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy zoomorphic (duck) brooch of Roman dating (Late 2nd Century AD). Around 50 % of the brooch is present, consisting of the head and part of the wings. The pin and tail are missing. The head of the duck is upright and facing forwards. The beak is flat, with a blunt end. The head is rounded. The body is openwork, with the wings curving round, extending to either side. Underneath the body is concave and the remains of the hook to retain the pin is present. No enamel is present. It measures 19.1 mm in height, 23.1 mm wide and 21.4 mm thick. It weighs 5.2 g. The duck brooch is a mid green colour, with an even surface patina. The closest parallel for this style of duck brooch is that illustrated as no 8026, Plate 126, (Mackreth 2011) and classified as an Object, type 4.b2 Animal kingdom brooch. That example has been dated to the Late 2nd Century AD. It is reasonable to assume that this brooch is of a similar date.

WMID-AF4C1D: BRACELET
An incomplete copper alloy, probable bracelet, of probable Roman dating (c. AD 250 to AD 410). Around 25% of the bracelet is present. The bracelet is broadly rectangular, with one end wider than the other. The sides taper downwards from the wide end to the thin end. Both ends are blunt with rounded corners. It has a flat cross section. Traces of decoration can be visible. The wide end has a central row of recessed pellets. A repeating series of diagonal notches run along the long edges. From the side view, the bracelet fragment is curved and is semi-circular in shape. It measures 52.9 mm in length, 6.5 mm wide (max), 3.8 mm wide (min) and 1.6 mm thick. It weighs 3.1 g. The bracelet fragment is a dark brown colour with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. Strip bracelets tend to be late Roman in date, 3rd to 4th Centuries AD. Similar probable bracelets have been recorded as BH-61AEF8. Due to the level of abrasion, it is probable that this is a part of a strip bracelet but it is not definite.

WMID-88BF3E: PIN
A complete copper alloy pin of probable Roman to Early Medieval (c. AD 200 to c. AD 900). The head is circular in plan and biconical in form. A spiral groove runs around the head.

WMID-5AF2C3: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Colchester derivative Polden Hill brooch, of Roman dating (AD 75 to AD 175). Around 25% present, consisting of the bow. The bow is an angular hump like shape, with a central vertical ridge. Shoulder ridges are present. The ceramic casting core is visible on the reverse of the brooch. The brooch fragment measures 26.4 mm in length, 14.4 mm wide and 10.5 mm thick. It weighs 6.4 g. The brooch fragment is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. This brooch fragment is similar to that published by Mackreth (2011), p 52, no 1656. This has been classified as a Polden Hill 6b3.

WMID-5AD8AD: BROOCH
An incomplete trumpet brooch of early Roman dating (AD 75 to AD 175). Around 25% of the brooch is present. This consists of the base of the head loop and the tope of the bow. It has a wide head which tapers into a thin bow. Two D shaped lugs are present on the back to retain the spring. It measures 20.4 mm in length, 261. mm wide and 18.4 mm thick. It weighs 10.5 g. The brooch fragment is a dark green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. A similar brooch has been published by Mackreth 2011,as no 5339 (plate 84), and has been classified as a Double lugged Trumpet, 2.2a.

WMID-C425DA: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Polden Hill type brooch, typically dating to between AD 75 to AD 175 AD. Around 50% of the brooch is present, consisting of the bow and the wings. The pin, spring and catchplate are all missing. The brooch has circular wings and a flatish bow. The bow has a central vertical ridge. The remains of a rearward facing hook are present at the top of the bow, with a groove beneath it. It measures 22.2 mm in length, 20.1 mm wide and 6.3 mm thick. It weighs 3.0 g. The brooch is a mid green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.

WMID-63C7C6: STYLUS
A complete but bent copper alloy probable stylus of uncertain dating, but probably Roman to Early Medieval (AD 43 to AD 850). The probable stylus has a flattened triangular terminal. This extends into a circular sectioned shank, which terminated with a blunt point. A vertical slot was positioned above the lower end. The stylus has been bent into an almost oval loop. The top of the vertical slot has broken when the probable stylus was bent. It currently measures 50.7 mm in length, 25.6 mm wide and 3.5 mm thick. The shank has a diameter of 3.4 mm. The triangular terminal has a width of 10.8 mm. It was originally 114 mm in length. It weighs 6.8 g. The stylus is mid green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. The shape and style of this probable stylus is similar to that of PUBLIC-AA4525, LANCUM-5FA92D and WILT-14E437. These range in date from Roman through to Early Medieval. It is reasonable to assume that this example is of similar date.

WMID-62AAC5: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER
A complete copper alloy button and loop fastener, of Early Roman dating (AD 50 to AD 175). The head is circular. The upper surface is domed, A protruding circular boss is present towards the back of the head. This appears to have a triskele (three pointed design) on it. A domed crescent covers the rest of the surface. Another small circular boss, formed of a raised crescent, with a pellet between the points is positioned on the outside of the head. The loop is triangular in shape, and springs from the top of the head's hollow reverse, extending horizontally backwards before angling upwards at 90 degrees. It measures 28.5 mm in length, 17.1 mm wide and 9.7 mm thick. It weighs 12.5 g. The fastener is a dark green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. This is probably a variation of Wild's Class III fasteners (1970: 138 - 140), which, at the time of writing, was the most common of all the classes. Most of the excavated examples of button-and-loop fasteners have come from military sites. Unlike classes I and II, which have pre-conquest origins, Wild believes Class III fasteners to have originated in the second half of the 1st century AD, with the majority probably belonging to the middle part of the 2nd century (ibid. 146). Several similar button and loop fasteners have been recorded on the PAS database including: SWYOR-D68398; BH-1284F4; NCL-62CF78; SUR-FFB614; WAW-DE8986; SWYOR-1AA8A7; DUR-937C13; SWYOR-061401 and NLM-610627.

WMID-98E42F: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy brooch of uncertain type, of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 200). Less than 25% of the brooch is present, consisting only of the lower part of the bow and catch plate. The bow, wings, head, spring and pin are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The brooch fragment is sub triangular in plan. The front of the bow is bevelled. The catch plate is triangular with folded edge to retain the pin. A rounded foot knop is present. It measures 38.7 mm in length, 8.5 mm wide and 18.4 mm thick. It weighs 8.8 g. Triangular catch plates are found on several types of Roman brooches, including Hod Hill, Trumpet and T shaped brooches, so it is not possible to classify this brooch fragment to a specific type.

An incomplete copper alloy trumpet brooch, of Roman dating (AD 75 to AD 175). Approximately less than 25% of the brooch is present, consisting only of the head, part of the head plate and an incomplete spring lug. The rest of the brooch (bow, foot, spring and pin) are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The head of the brooch is oval in plan, and tapers into the bow. A semi circular head plate extends vertically from the top of the head. The edges are incomplete. Two circular recesses are present on either side of the bow, by the head plate. The back of the head is concave and has a vertical integrally cast attachment lug. This attachment lug would have originally held the spring. Iron corrosion products cover the attachment lug, indicating that part of the spring or pin was originally made from iron. The brooch is broken across the bow. The brooch fragment measures 15.4 mm in length, 13.1 mm wide and 19.8 mm thick. It weighs 7.1 g. The brooch is a mid green to mid brown 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 surface detail and enamel.

WMID-97AF41: STATUE
An incomplete fragment from the head of a statue or bust, of probable Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410). The fragment consists of a left ear and some hair. The ear is quite accurately modelled with an attached ear lobe at the base and the upper external lobe curving upwards. The hair modeled represents relatively short hair. The reverse is concave. It measures 63.5 mm in length, 35.1 mm wide and 10.6 mm thick. It weighs 36.3 g. The ear is a dark green colour, with a mostly even surface patina. Another statue ear has been recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme from Brompton-on-Swale, Yorkshire (YORYM-08CBC4). That statue ear was a right ear. Ralph Jackson (Roman Curator, British Museum) commented on that example that the hairstyle was consistent with a 2nd to 4th Century date. It is reasonable to assume that this example would be of a similar date.

WMID-8116F1: COIN HOARD
A scattered group of 11 silver coins. The coins are all early Roman silver denarii dating from the Republican period (earliest coin dated 138 BC) to the reign of Domitian (latest coin partly illegible but dated between AD 90 and 92). A late first century deposition date is therefore likely, although coins of Mark Antony are found in hoards deposited well into the next century. Summary Republic and imperatorial 6 (including 2 of Mark Antony) Augustus (27 BC – AD 14) 1 Nero (AD 54-68) 1 Vespasian (AD 69-79) 2 Domitian (AD 81-96) 1 (dated c. AD 90 – 92) Total 11

WMID-C8BF8B: COSMETIC MORTAR
An incomplete copper alloy end looped cosmetic mortar, typically of Late Iron Age to the Early Roman dating (1st to 2nd Centuries AD). The mortar has a plain, relatively shallowed bowed profile, with the suspension loop situated at one end. The loop is incomplete. The loop would have originally curled back on itself, forming a triangular knop. The opposing end of the mortar is complete with a rounded terminal. The mortar itself has a shallow U shaped cross section. The interior (grinding surface) is smooth. The mortar measures 59.4 mm in length, 10.6 mm width and 17.5 mm high. The grinding surface is 6.4 mm wide and 3.8 mm deep. It weighs 21.3 grams. The cosmetic mortar is dark green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Cosmetic mortars can be otherwise known as woad or cosmetic grinders. They come as part of a set of two artefacts, the mortar and the pestle. Ralph Jackson published a corpus of known examples in 1985, of which two are similar to this example. No. 20 from Thistleton, Leicestershire (Jackson, 1985, p179) and no. 30 from Colchester, Essex (Jackson, 1985, p.181). Over 187 examples have been recorded on the PAS database.

An incomplete Colchester derivative, Polden Hill type brooch of Roman dating (Mackreth 2011, Part 3, Group 4.a-4.b, Plate 46, AD c. 50-400). The copper alloy brooch has semi-cylindrical wings with perforated wing caps which are wider than the wings. The wings are undecorated. The axis bar, spring and pin are missing. At the centre of the upper edge of the wings/bow head there is a hook supporting the chord. The bowhead is hump-like in profile with a moulding on either side. The head and bow is undecorated. The bow is semi-circular in section and tapers to an incomplete foot. It measures 27.4 mm in length, 23.6 mm wide and 12.9 mm thick. It weighs 10.8 g The surface of the brooch has a mid green patina. The brooch is a Polden Hill type, Bayley and Butcher (2004:160) comment that the distribution of Polden Hill brooches are concentrated in the West Midlands.

WMID-62398A: HARNESS FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy and iron lipped terret, of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 200). This terret fragment is the other half of WMID-3BAF15. The join is on the broken side of the lipped projection. Around 25% of the terret is present, consisting of one of the sides. The base is hollow. It measures 34.3 mm tall, 26.7 mm wide and 17.6 mm thick. It weighs 18.4 g. The terret is a mid green to brown colour, with iron staining around the side. Some of the original surface still remains in the inward curve of the arm. This terret fragment is similar to those recorded on the PAS database as NCL-AD9E11 and WMID-BF6C0E, classified as an Early Roman Massive Donside terret. It is similar to an example from Chesters, Northumberland, illustrated in Jope 2000, 309, 291e and MacGregor 1976, 113. Dating is likely to be from the late 1st to mid 3rd century AD. This style is often referred to as Massive or Donside terret, due to their size and initial identification in the Donside area of north-eastern Scotland.

WMID-CDB8D4: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy brooch of uncertain type, of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 200). Less than 25% of the brooch is present, consisting only of the catch plate. The bow, wings, head, spring and pin are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The brooch fragment is sub triangular in plan, with an incomplete edge along one side. The opposite side has a rounded edge. The foot is incomplete. It measures 37.0 mm in length, 4.5 mm wide and 12.0 mm thick. It weighs 3.6 g. Triangular catch plates are found on several types of Roman brooches, including Polden Hill, Trumpet and T shaped brooches, so it is not possible to classify this brooch fragment to a specific type.

WMID-CD9327: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman brooch of Colchester derivative, Polden Hill of Roman dating AD 80 to AD120. Around 50% of the brooch is present, consisting of the bow and wings.

A rearward facing hook is present on the head of the bow, still holding some of the spring. The spring is held in a half cylindrical recess behind the wings. Eight coils of the spring are present. Iron corrosion products are visible between some of the spring coils, indicating that the axle bar was made from iron. The front of the bow has been decorated with a central beaded ridge, down the upper part, terminating by two lenticular bosses which form a shallow V across. The foot is incomplete. It measures 46.5 mm in length, 20.0 mm wide and 13.4 mm thick. It weighs 10.7 g. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina.

WMID-978DC4: BROOCH
An incomplete rear hook colchester derivative style brooch of Roman dating (1st Century AD). Around 50% of the brooch is present, consisting of the head, rear hook, spring, wings and part of the bow. The foot, pin and catch plate are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The wings are cylindrical with an open back, so the spring is visible. There are four coils to each side of the pin. The wing caps are circular with a hole to hold the axis bar. A rearward facing hook is present on the head, still containing part of the spring. The front of the wings have been decorated with bead and reel decoration (central groove, with a ridge to either side). The bow appears to be undecorated but the surface has been damaged. The brooch measures 20.5 mm in length, 19.9 mm wide and 9.7 mm thick. It weighs 4.8 g. The brooch is a mid green colour, with an even surface patina. A similar brooch has been illustrated as no 11989 in Hattatt, 2011, vol 2, plate 39. Hattatt has classified it as a Colchester derivative Rearhook 1.i. consistent with 1st Century AD dating.

An incomplete copper alloy, Wirral variant type bow brooch, of Roman dating (AD 75 to AD 175). Approximately 75% of the brooch is present. The pin and head loop are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The bow is angular in shape, with a sub rectangular cross section. The top of the bow is decorated with a flat panel, not stepped, with the base of a head loop. Beneath is is a panel of three vertical bicolour enameled cells. The colours are arranged in a chequerboard type pattern. Only orange enamel is present. The other colour is missing. The enamelled panel terminates with a rounded raised end. The lower part of the bow is decorated with a series of vertical ridges, with occasional pellets, extending down into the foot knop, which has two raised circular knops. The back of the brooch extends into a vertical catch plate, with a folded rim to hold the pin in place. Behind the head, is the remains of the spring. The brooch measures 68.3 mm in length, 14.1 mm wide and 26.7 mm thick. It weighs 19.3 g. This brooch is probably a variant on the regional type known as a 'Wirral Brooch'. Wirral brooches are a regional bow brooch variant, with concentrations in the Wirral area and its surroundings. The typical features of a Wirral type brooch are that it has a head loop, a stepped head, a panel of three vertical bicolour enamelled cells and a stud at the mid point of the bow. It is reasonable to assume that this brooch is of a similar date to that of the Wirral Brooches (AD 75 to AD 175).

Several similar hare or hound brooches have been recorded on the PAS database, including: LIN-54F8E0; NLM-69A6B8; NMS-D15192; DOR-62564C; SWYOR-4F7166; LEIC-85B8E5 and HESH-D810F8. A similar brooch has been published by Mackreth as no 8062, originally found at Stanwix, Cumbria and has been dated to the 4th century in comparison with an example from the Nettleton shrine. Mackreth states that hares and hounds go together for sporting purposes and it can be hard to distinguish a hare from a hound. The main differences are that hounds have longer tails and front legs. If a short front leg has a paw, then it is a hare and not a hound (Mackreth, 2011, p182). Therefore as the front legs appear incomplete, and there is a long tail, it is more likely to be a hound and not a hare. Hound and hare brooches are relatively widespread and are more related to huntin than to any religious devotion. Their presence may indicate where hare coursing was more common.

WMID-B03A14: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Colchester-derivative (Polden Hill) brooch of Roman dating (AD 80 - AD 120). Around 75% of the brooch is present, with the foot, catch plate, axis bar, spring and pin are missing. The wings are broadly semi- cylindrical in profile with some damage to the edges of both wing caps. The wing caps are flat, with a semi notch for the axis bar. A vertical rouletted ridge is present as decoration at the ends of each of the wings. The bow head is hump-like, and slightly angular (comma shaped) in profile. A rearward facing hook is present at the top of the bow, and still retains the top part of the pin. The bow tapers to a damaged terminal. The foot is missing along with part of the catch-plate and pin rest from the rear of the bow. The remains of the catch plate suggest that it was perforated. The brooch is decorated with a central rouletted moulded rib which takes form as part of the integral crest. This rib extends approximately half way along on the bow. The rib is decorated with a repeating pattern of horizontal linear incisions. It measures 44.6 mm in length, 20.3 mm wide and 11.5 mm thick. It weighs 6.4 g. The brooch is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. There are many similar examples on the database GLO-5A4E92, discovered in Gloucstershire and IOW-DD8496 discovered on The Isle of Wight both have the pierced crest on the head. Bayley and Butcher (2004:160) comment that the distribution of Polden Hill brooches is concentrated in the West Midlands. Similar brooches are illustrated by Bayley and Butcher (2004:p.88-89). They illustrate a similar brooch on page 159, No. T98 which features the pierced crest.

WMID-AC24D6: COSMETIC MORTAR
An incomplete copper alloy end looped cosmetic mortar, typically of Late Iron Age to the Early Roman dating (1st to 2nd Centuries AD). The mortar has a plain, relatively shallowed bowed profile, with the suspension loop situated at one end. The loop is incomplete. The opposing end of the mortar is incomplete. The mortar itself has a shallow U shaped cross section. The interior (grinding surface) is slightly pitted. The mortar measures 46.3 mm in length, 11.0 mm width and 4.1 mm high. The grinding surface is 7.2 mm wide and 1.1 mm deep. It weighs 5.8 grams. The cosmetic mortar is mid green colour, with an even brown surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Cosmetic mortars can be otherwise known as woad or cosmetic grinders. They come as part of a set of two artefacts, the mortar and the pestle. Ralph Jackson published a corpus of known examples in 1985, of which two are similar to this example. No. 20 from Thistleton, Leicestershire (Jackson, 1985, p179) and no. 30 from Colchester, Essex (Jackson, 1985, p.181). Over 187 examples have been recorded on the PAS database.

WMID-DE43F7: SPINDLE WHORL
A complete ceramic spindle whorl of probable Roman dating (AD 200 to AD 400). The spindle whorl is circular in shape with a flat cross section. The upper and lower surfaces are flat. The central hole has been set roughly centrally, and has an internal diameter of 8.0 mm. The shape of the spindle whorl would suggest that it has been specifically made and not created from a reused sherd of pottery. The spindle whorl has been made from an oxidised ceramic, with frequent fine grit inclusions. As surfaces are weathered, with no fresh break available, it is not possible to identify the specific ceramic type, but it is broadly consistent with oxidised wares found during the Romano-British period, such as Severn Valley ware. The spindle whorl has a diameter of 38.4 mm and is 17.6 mm thick. It weighs 22.4 g. The spindle whorl is a mid orange colour. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of the surface.

WMID-DC5D44: FINGER RING
An incomplete copper alloy finger ring, of late Roman dating (AD 200 to AD 400). Around 50% of the finger ring is present, consisting of the shoulders and the bezel. The hoop is missing. The hoop has a flat cross section, The shoulders have between four and five diagonal ridges, terminating in a horizontal bar with projecting square terminals. The bezel is circular in shape, with a raised border. Originally a gem would have been secured in the bezel, but only the white glue paste remains. It measures 17.4 mm in length, 8.8 mm wide and 1.5 mm thick. It weighs 1.2 g. The finger ring fragment is a dark green colour with an even surface patina.

WMID-DC00D2: FINGER RING
A complete copper alloy finger ring, of probable Roman dating (4th Century AD). The finger ring is polygonal in shape, with eight external facets (octagonal). The hoop has an circular cross section. The facets are flat. Each one is 10.8 m in length. No decoration is present on any facet. The finger ring has a 21.4 mm external diameter, 18.0 mm internally. The hoop is 2.2 mm thick and 1.6 mm wide. It weighs 0.9 g. The finger ring is a mid to dark green colour with an even surface patina. Similar polygonal finger rings have been recorded on the PAS database, including WILT-BDB6F9 and HAMP-D6BA2D. This is considered to be that of a Henig Type IX (Guiraud type 9a). Henig (1974, 50) suggests that polygonal rings are a third century type while Crummy (1983, 49, ref. 1788) notes that polygonal hoops tend to be fourth century in date.

WMID-CE050B: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy brooch of Colchester derivative, Polden Hill (Mackreth 2011, Part 3, Group 4, flat wing ends type), c.f. Mackreth 2011, 4.l.a. Plate 48, Roman date AD 80 to 120. Around 50% of the brooch is present, consisting of a wing, the bow and part of the spring. The rest is missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The surviving wing is broadly semi-cylindrical. On the reverse, half of the spring is still present, contained in the cylindrical recess behind the wing. At least six coils of the spring are present. The wing cap is flat, with a piercing for the iron axis bar of the spring to be positioned. The bow head is hump-like, and slightly angular (comma shaped) in profile. The bow tapers to a rounded damaged terminal with a well-developed patina. The remains of the perforated catch plate are present as a vertical ridge behind the bow. The bow is decorated on either side with a series of triangular cells, containing enamel. A total of four rows are present. The central two have been filled with orange enamel, and the outer rows alternate between blue and while enamel. The brooch measures 57.1 mm in length, 23.4 mm in width across the wings, 21.5 mm thick at the head of the bow and weighs 32.5 grams. The brooch is broadly a mid green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. There are many similar examples on the database that have been found across the West Midlands, one example was discovered in Bidford on Avon, Warwickshire (WAW-E3B44C) and (WMID-3A00DE) discovered in Staffordshire.

The spring, foot, catch plate and pin are missing, presumably lost in antiquity. In plan, the brooch is almost T-shaped, and D-shaped in cross section. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile, with cylindral wings projecting from either side at the top. A ridge is present at the junction between the bow and the wings. The wings have been decorated with three wide grooves. Each of the wings has a sub circular wing cap. The back of the brooch is undecorated. A cylindrical groove is present behind the wings. A vertical ridge is present towards the foot on the back of the bow, this is the remains of the catch plate. The brooch measures 48.8 mm length, is 32.7 mm wide across wings and 12.3 mm thick. It weighs 11.8 grams. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, with an even patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface. Similar brooches can be seen in Richard Hattatt's Visual Guide to Ancient brooches (p 300, fig 159).

WMID-73B751: HARNESS FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy 'miniature' knobbed terret ring of probable later Iron Age or early Roman dating (100 BC - AD 200). Approximately 50% of the terret survives, originally it would have been D shaped; it is now an irregular crescent (C shape). The cross section varies in shape along the length of the terret; for the majority it is oval / lentoid. At the base of the ring is a horizontal strap bar with an angular faceted triangular cross section. The strap bar itself is slight and much thinner than the ring. Underneath the strap bar, is a horizontal scar, probably the remains of a strap loop. The ring itself is thicker with distinct raised moulded lappet (circumferential swelling or collar) at the junction with the bar. Originally the ring would have had an angular arch; decorated with a series of evenly spaced knops. Only one of these knops survives, it is sub rectangular in shape being a raised knop that projects from the ring. The base of the knop is further decorated with a circumferential (basal) groove, at the point where it meets the harness ring. The ring thins after this external knop. The incomplete terret measures 34.6 mm in length and 43.9 mm wide. The ring is 5.4 mm wide and 5.0 mm thick. The surviving knop projects 3.3 mm and measures 4.8 mm long by 3.7 mm. The strap bar is 8.5 mm wide and 5.2 mmthick. The terret ring fragment weighs 12.1 grams. The terret is a mid green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. Similar shaped terret rings are known from both Iron Age and Roman contexts. A large number of similar sized terret rings can be seen in McGregor: Early Celtic Art in Northern Britain; however most of these have knops rather than raised platforms. All these are dated from either late Iron Age or early Roman contexts.

An incomplete copper alloy Colchester derivative (Polden Hill type) brooch, of Roman dating (AD 80-120). Approximately 75% of the brooch is present consisting of the bow and wings. The foot, spring and pin are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. In plan, the brooch is almost T-shaped, and D-shaped in cross section. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile, with cylindral wings projecting from either side at the top. The front of the bow has been decorated by two raised rouletted ridges, that converge two thirds of the length down the bow. The foot is missing. Each of the wings has a sub circular flat wing cap. The wings have been decorated with several vertical grooves, with smaller transverse grooves between them, creating a rope like effect. The back of the brooch is undecorated. Part of the catch plate is present but the folded edge is missing. A cylindral groove is present along the length of the back, between the two wings. This would have originally held the spring. The brooch measures 41.5 mm in length, 28.8 mm wide and 13.1 mm thick. It weighs 13.5 grams. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, and has an even surface patina. Colchester derivatives (Polden Hill type) brooches are one of the most frequently encountered Roman brooch types, with examples being recorded from the majority of England and Wales. Examples of this brooch type are very commonly known from sites in the west of Britain. Hattatt (2004) illustrated several examples of this style of brooch on page 300, figure 159. A couple of similar brooches have been recorded on the PAS database, including WMID-E63CDC and WMID-70F035. Reference: Hattatt, R. (2000) A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches.

WMID-4C9DDA: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy, modified Polden Hill brooch, of Roman dating (AD 75 to AD 175). Around 50% of the brooch is present, with the bow, foot and both wings present. The pin is missing. The brooch has been modified, by curling the foot back upwards towards the head and wings, creating an almost circular object. The wing casing is almost rectangular, with angular edges, a seam is present along the back, encasing the spring. The bow has a D shaped cross section, with a flat top. The front has been decorated with, originally, two vertical grooves flanking a central rouletted ridge. The edges of the bow are angular and flat. The foot gradually tapers to a point. Due to the modifications that have been made to this brooch, the original length and thickness can not be determined. The width (across the wings) is 32.0 mm. It has a current length of 23.7 mm and a current thickness of 20.5mm. It weighs 14.6 g. The internal circular space measures 7.9 mm by 10.4 mm. The brooch is dark brown colour, with an even surface patina. Finder has treated the surface with intralac or similar treatment method. Several similar modified brooches have been recorded on the PAS database, including: PUBLIC-C94E96; WILT-324EC3; SUSS-B45115; LVPL-1C3971. Suggestions are that they have been altered for use as finger rings, although this example would not fit easily or comfortably on a finger, unless it was a very small one. Other ideas is that they were ritually 'killed', either as a temple offering or at the death of the original owner.

WMID-7EF946: FIGURINE
An incomplete copper alloy male figurine of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410). Around 75% of the figurine is present. The head, hands and feet are missing, but the limbs and torso are present. The breaks are old and well patinated. The figurine is in a standing pose, with right leg slightly bent. The right arm is bent at almost 90 degrees. The left leg and left arm are held almost straight. The head is missing at the neck. The genitals survive as a small circular lump between the legs, indicating that the figurine was originally male. On the reverse, the buttocks are rounded. The figurine measures 60.5 mm tall, 27.9 mm wide and 13.1 mm thick. It weighs 49.6 g. The figurine is a mid green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of the majority of surface detail. The stance of the figurine suggests that it is likely to be a very 'pert-buttocked' Mercury.

WMID-6C6B01: BROOCH
A complete copper-alloy developed crossbow brooch of the Roman period dating from circa AD 320 - c. AD 400. The brooch is broadly 'P'-shaped in profile and 'T' shaped in plan, with a large 'onion' shaped knop on the head of the bow and on either ends of the crossbar. The knop at the head of the bow is onion shaped with a protruding rounded projection at the top. Behind the wings is a hollow circular tube which still retains the spring, with the pin extending downwards from the centre. The upper bow of the brooch is 'C' shaped in profile and is triangular in cross section. The upper bow has been decorated with a series of recessed triangles, creating a zig zag line between them.The triangles may have originally contained enamel. The lower half of the bow splays towards the foot and is rectangular in plan. At the rear of the lower bow there is a slot/catchplate which would have once held the pin in place. This slot has a right hand side opening. The lower bow has been decorated with ring and dot stamps. Two are present at the top, and four at the base. The brooch measures 69.3 mm in length and is 40.7 mm wide. It has a thickness of 17.8 mm at the bow, it is 6.3 mm thick at the wings and is 4.3 mm thick at the base of the brooch. It weighs 25.9 g. The brooch is a mid brown in colour with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. Bayley and Butcher (2004) illustrate a similar developed crossbow brooch with chevron chip carving on the lower sides of the bow (No.321). This particular example was discovered in Richborough in the inner stone fort ditch with a 'hoard of bracelets'. Bayley and Butcher discuss how the developed crossbow brooch always has knops on the end of the crossbar and the upper bow and are often 'onion' shaped. Sometimes the knops are separate pieces. There are other examples recorded on the database, however there have only been a small number recorded from the West Midlands region, for example WMID-5135E8 and WMID-DDA2BD. Subsequently this brooch has been noted as a find of note for the region. There is an example discovered in Kent (KENT-82C1C9) which had been silvered and (WMID-FC5D73) which was discovered in Staffordshire and this record notes that 'from the late third to fifth centuries AD, the Crossbow brooch was the only surviving bow brooch to continue in use until the end of the Roman period throughout the whole of the Roman Empire'.

WMID-C22743: COIN
A copper-alloy Roman sestertius of Trajan (AD 98-117), dating to the period AD 98-117 (Reece period 5). Uncertain reverse type, probably depicting an unclear seated female figure left? Mint of Rome. Diameter: 32.9 mm Thickness: 4.0 mm Weight: 16.3 g

WMID-C0F6E8: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Colchester derivative (Polden Hill type) brooch, of Roman dating (AD 80-120). Approximately 90% of the brooch is present consisting of the bow, foot, wings and part of the spring. The pin is missing, presumed lost in antiquity. In plan, the brooch is almost T-shaped, and D-shaped in cross section. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile, with cylindral wings projecting from either side at the top. The front of the bow has been decorated by four parallel grooves running down the length of the bow. The bow terminates in a globular collared foot knop. Each of the wings has a sub circular wing cap, with a perforation for the spring. The back of the brooch is undecorated. Part of the catch plate is present but the folded edge is missing. A cylindral groove is present along the length of the back, between the two wings and still contains the spring. The brooch measures 40.1 mm in length, 15.6 mm wide and 11.7 mm thick. It weighs 3.9 grams. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, and has an even surface patina. Colchester derivatives (Polden Hill type) brooches are one of the most frequently encountered Roman brooch types, with examples being recorded from the majority of England and Wales. Examples of this brooch type are very commonly known from sites in the west of Britain. Hattatt (2004) illustrated several examples of this style of brooch on page 300, figure 159. A couple of similar brooches have been recorded on the PAS database, including WMID-E63CDC and WMID-70F035. Reference: Hattatt, R. (2000) A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches.

WMID-AEAB17: VESSEL
A rimsherd of a wheel thrown ceramic vessel, of Roman dating (2nd to 4th Centuries AD). The sherd consists of a rimsherd, in a fabric is similar to that of local (unsourced) greyware, consistent with 2nd to 4th Century AD dating. The rim type is that of a rounded everted type, probably consistent with a storage bowl or jar. Not enough of the rim is present to allow an accurate determination of original rim diameter. The sherd is 7.1 mm thick and weighs 25.2 g. It has a length of 31.8 mm and is 67.5 mm wide. Sherd specific details: Fabric type: local (unsourced) greyware Sherd type: rimsherd Rim type: rounded everted Wall thickness: 7.1 mm Firing condition: unoxidised exterior, unoxidised core, unoxidised interior Hardness: hard Surface texture: Smooth Surface treatment: none Condition of sherds: slightly abraded. Sherd was photographed.

WMID-9912C5: BUCKLE
An incomplete possible dolphin headed copper alloy buckle, of late Roman dating (4th to 5th Centuries AD). The possible buckle exhibits two biting animal heads, possibly dolphins, grasping a ball or egg shaped object between their jaws. On either side of the animal heads is a circular attachment lug, with a circular hole positioned centrally. The hole has an internal diameter of 1.8 mm. Bevelled edges to these holes are only present up on the front of the object. Beneath the animal heads, is a T shaped perforation, made from several circular holes joined together. The cross bar is parallel to the animal heads. A circular hole is present to either side of the upright of the T. These holes have an internal diameter of 2.6 mm, and have bevelled edges from drilling on either side. The base of the possible buckle consists of two circular sectioned projections extending at an angle away from the plate. It is unclear whether these projections are complete or exhibit an old predepositional break at the terminal. The buckle plate is flat. The back of the possible buckle is undecorated. It measures 24.6 mm in length, 36.9 mm wide and 3.1 mm. It weighs 7.0 g. The possible buckle is a mid green to brown colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. Stuart Laycock comments that it is an interesting bit of metalwork, with no direct parallels. The beast heads and the globe are vaguely reminiscent of examples from the late Roman period. The openwork holes in the plate are similar in sort to some of the almost openwork 'faces' in some early Byzantine buckle plates. Though the similarity is probably coincidental. XRF analysis was carried out at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery conservation laboratory, using a Mistral Tabletop XRF machine. The results are below: Element Front (conc. %) Back (conc.%) Copper (Cu) 80.33 73.66 Zinc (Zn) 1.82 1.73 Tin (Sn) 0.39 0.62 Antimony (Sb) 0.29 0.29 Arsenic (As) 0.25 0.48 Lead (Pb) 10.31 17.04 Silver (Ag) 0.16 0.17 Gold (Au) 0.00 0.00 Iron (Fe) 6.46 6.01 Mercury (Hg) 0.00 0.00

WMID-8B1685: HARNESS FITTING
A complete copper alloy knobbed terret ring of probable later Iron Age or early Roman dating (100 BC - AD 200). It would have been D shaped. The cross section varies in shape along the length of the terret; for the majority it is oval / lentoid. At the base of the ring is a horizontal strap bar with an angular faceted lentoid cross section. The strap bar itself is slight and much thinner than the ring, it is also slightly offset. The ring itself is thicker with distinct raised moulded lappet (circumferential swelling or collar) at the junction with the bar. The ring has an angular arch; decorated with three evenly spaced knops. Each knop is lentoid in shape, with a raised central pellet. The knops bear a relation to platforms, as they have a flat base and the raised pellet. The terret measures 53.3 mm in length, 65.8 mm wide and 9.8 mm thick. It weighs 48.1 g. Similar shaped terret rings are known from both Iron Age and Roman contexts. Thanks are extended to Anna Lewis for her help with this artefact.

WMID-F11707: BRIDLE BIT
Two complete copper-alloy bridle bit cheekpieces (side plates), of Roman date (1st century AD). Both side plates are flat, with an irregular shape. They have a circular body, with a central circular perforation or hole. Two loops extend off the body, one is triangular in shape, the other is circular. On one of the artefacts, the triangular loop has spherical knops on each corner. Side plate 1 measures 64.8 mm in length, 47.6 mm wide and 4.4 mm thick. It weighs 34.3 g. The central circular hole has an internal diameter of 11.0 mm. The circular loop has an internal diameter of 6.7 mm. The triangular loop measures 14.3 mm in length, with a minimum width of 4.8 mm and a maximum width of 11.1 mm. This artefact is a mid green colour, with an even surface patina. Side plate 2 measures 61.9 mm in length, 59.5 mm wide and 3.9 mm thick. It weighs 37.1 g. The central circular hole has an internal diameter 13.2 mm. The circular loop has an internal diameter of 10.1 mm. The triangular loop measures 14.5 mm in length, with a minimum width of 5.0 mm and a maximum width of 13.3 mm. This artefact is a dark brown colour with patches of dark green. The colour could suggest a high iron content but this is uncertain without XRF analysis being carried out. Ralph Jackson (Curator of Romano-British Collections, British Museum) has confirmed that these two artefacts are bridle bit side plates, like numbers A25-A27, p2, fig 2, from Hod Hill (Brailsford, 1962), currently on display in the Weston Gallery of Roman British (Gallery 49) at the British Museum. One is slightly fancier but they are both of the same type as the heavily worn examples from Hod Hill. Reference: Brailsford, J. 1962, Hod Hill 1: Antiquities from Hod Hill in the Durden Collection.

An incomplete copper alloy end looped cosmetic mortar, typically of Late Iron Age to the Early Roman dating (1st to 2nd Centuries AD). The mortar has a plain, relatively shallowed bowed profile, with the suspension loop situated at one end. The loop is incomplete. The opposing end of the mortar is complete, with a rounded knop on the end, almost phallic in nature. The mortar itself has a shallow V shaped cross section. The interior (grinding surface) is smooth. The mortar measures 69.4 mm in length, 8.2 mm width and 10.6 mm high. The grinding surface is 3.5 mm wide and 1.6 mm deep. It weighs 19.7 grams. The cosmetic mortar is dark brown to black colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Cosmetic mortars can be otherwise known as woad or cosmetic grinders. They come as part of a set of two artefacts, the mortar and the pestle. Ralph Jackson published a corpus of known examples in 1985, of which two are similar to this example. No. 20 from Thistleton, Leicestershire (Jackson, 1985, p179) and no. 30 from Colchester, Essex (Jackson, 1985, p.181). Over 187 examples have been recorded on the PAS database.

WMID-7B1D15: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Colchester derivative Polden Hill brooch (Mackreth Group 4, flat wing ends type, West Midlands), Mackreth 2011, 4.j. Plate 48. of Roman dating (AD 80-120). Approximately 90% of the brooch is present consisting of the bow, foot, wings and part of the spring. The pin is missing, presumed lost in antiquity. In plan, the brooch is almost T-shaped, and D-shaped in cross section. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile, with cylindral wings projecting from either side at the top. A small rib is present at the junction between the bow and the wing caps. The front of the bow has been decorated by two parallel grooves running down the length of the bow. To either side of these ridges, is a column of small flanking diagonal ridges. The bow terminates in a globular collared foot knop. Each of the wings has a sub circular wing cap, with a perforation for the spring. The back of the brooch is undecorated. Part of the catch plate is present but the folded edge is missing. A cylindral groove is present along the length of the back, between the two wings and still contains part of the spring. Minor traces of silvering / tinning are present on the reverse of the brooch. The brooch measures 50.4 mm in length, 20.6 mm wide and 15.4 mm thick. It weighs 13.2 grams. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, and has an even surface patina. Colchester derivatives (Polden Hill type) brooches are one of the most frequently encountered Roman brooch types, with examples being recorded from the majority of England and Wales. Examples of this brooch type are very commonly known from sites in the west of Britain. Hattatt (2004) illustrated several examples of this style of brooch on page 300, figure 159. A couple of similar brooches have been recorded on the PAS database, including WMID-E63CDC and WMID-70F035. Reference: Hattatt, R. (2000) A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches.

WMID-7AF6A5: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Wroxeter type brooch, of Roman dating (AD 80 to AD 200). Approximately 75% of the brooch is present, consisting of the bow, spring, foot and part of the catch plate. The pin is missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The remains of a rearward facing hook (to retain part of the spring) is present on the head of the brooch. To either side of the head, a semi circular wing extends, with a pierced wing cap. A cylindrial groove is present on the reverse, behind the wings. This still retains the spring. The pin is missing. The bow protrudes from the centre of the bow head and is sub rectangular in section and curved in profile. The upper section of the bows' outer face is decorated with two parallel vertical cells each filled with traces of enamel (orange). At the mid point of the bow, below the cells, a small stud is present. The bow gradually tapers towards a rounded foot knop. The catch plate is incomplete, located behind the front and consists of a vertical plate. The reverse of the bow is undecorated. The brooch measures 57.9 mm in length, 22.1 mm wide and 18.5 mm thick. It weighs 19.1 g. The brooch is a mid brown 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 surface detail. Bayley and Butcher (2004, p. 169) illustrate similar brooches, the 'Wroxeter' and 'Prestatyn' type brooches and separate these from the 'T' shaped examples. The recorded example is very similar to the 'Wroxeter' example and these date to late 1st century to the 2nd century (Bayley and Butcher: p. 169). These type of brooches are found commonly in North Wales and the Midlands (ibid). A similar brooch has been recorded on the PAS database as WMID-AC1675. Reference: Bayley, J. & Butcher, S. 2004.

WMID-A83105: BROOCH
An incomplete enamelled copper alloy brooch, of Roman dating (AD 100 to AD 300). Around 50% of the brooch is present, with the bow, wings and spring casing present. The pin, spring, catch plate and foot are all missing, presumed lost in antiquity. From the top of the brooch, the spring casing forms a hollow semi cylindrical tube. The spring is missing. The remains of a rearward facing hook is present on the top of brooch. The spring casing, also forms the wings, with semi circular wing caps present. The bow is flat, and consists of a diamond or lozenge shape, with a horizontal bend in the middle. The front of the brooch was originally enamelled, but minimal traces of the enamel are now present. The design consists of a triangle with a ring and dot in the centre. The lozenge has two triangle cells, positioned with the bases together, and apexs pointing away. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The remains of a vertical catch plate are present. It measures 30.5 mm in length, 16.3 mm wide and 9.5 mm thick. It weighs 5.9 g.

WMID-A7F701: STRAP END
An incomplete copper alloy strap end of probable Late Roman date, of Hawkes and Dunning's type V A (1961, fig. 23). Around 50% of the strap end is present, with the lower end missing and the top edge incomplete. The top of the strap end is split for attachment, with two incomplete rivet holes, which would have secured the strap end onto the strap. A circular-sectioned copper-alloy rivet is present in one of the rivet holes. Below the split top, the strap end widens into a plate. The front has been decorated. A curved border is present, consisting of a groove with a row of punched dots in its base. A second outer groove with dots is present at the top of the panel of decoration and may originally have run all the way around, now being almost completely worn away. Inside the border are two relief peltas or C-scrolls with central stems; these look like mushrooms with spiralled ends, and are positioned one above the other within a surrounding sunken area. There are traces of a black coating or lacquer on both the front and reverse of the strap end. The reverse is flat and undecorated. It measures 42.9 mm in length, a maximum width of 23.2 mm and a minimum of 17.9 mm. It is 4.5 mm thick. It weighs 13.0 g. The strap end is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Compare an example from Leicester (Hawkes and Dunningn 1961, 63 no. 2, fig. 23a) and LVPL-91B063, both of which have similar decoration. They appear to be derived from the earlier amphora-shaped strap-end, and are thought to have been made on the Continent, perhaps in northern Gaul, the Rhineland and the Danube areas. They are dated to the early to mid 5th century and due to this very late date occasionally turn up in early Anglo-Saxon contexts.

WMID-96FC31: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Trumpet brooch, of Roman dating (75 AD to 175 AD). Approximately 25% of the brooch is present, consisting of the top of the bow and part of the head plate. The rest of the brooch (foot, catch plate, spring and pin) are all missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The top of the brooch consists of an angular bow descending from a plate below a head plate (now incomplete). The headplate is incomplete and consists of an incomplete flat rectangular plate. A horizontal groove is present just below the incomplete loop. The head of the brooch is complete, semi circular in plan, and tapers into the bow. Three vertical grooves are present at the head as decoration. The bow is D-shaped in cross section. At the shoulder (midway) point of the bow, there are three raised ridges, with a deep groove inbetween. A sub circular concavity is present in the back of the head, with part of the clay casting core visible. This concavity would have originally retained the spring. Parts of the attachment lugs for the axis bar are still present to either side of the concavity. The reverse of the brooch is flat and undecorated. It measures 27.1 mm in length, 13.6 mm wide and 10.3 mm thick. It weighs 4.2 grams. The brooch is a mid 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 surface detail. Hattatt published a similar but more complete brooch, from Wall, Staffordshire (2000, p328, fig 187, #952) in his visual catalogue of Ancient Brooches, and dated that example to 1st to 2nd Centuries AD.

WMID-6FA7CA: MINIATURE OBJECT
A complete copper alloy probable miniature sword, probably of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410). The probable miniature sword probably imitates that of a gladius and can be described like a sword. The pommel is sub oval in shape, with bevelled edges top and bottom. The handle is sub triangular, with a V shaped groove positioned near the top on both the front and back. The blade is sub triangular in shape, with a square cross section. It gradually tapers to a blunt point. It measures 34.1 mm in length, 6.7 mm wide and 4.5 mm thick. It weighs 2.2 g. The sword is a mid green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. Several similar miniature swords have been recorded on the PAS database, including: LEIC-7B9381; WAW-869A75; NMS-F2D1B2; SWYOR-5B6555; GLO-F52980 and LIN-BFF2F2. It is probable that this miniature sword is of similar dating. Miniature artefacts are often thought be votive in nature.

WMID-6F570A: MINIATURE OBJECT
An incomplete copper alloy miniature socketed axehead, of uncertain dating, but probable Late Bronze Age to Roman (1150 BC to AD 410). The axe is rectangular in plan with slightly concave parallel sides. The blade edge and blade tips are rounded, but not flared. The socket mouth has a rectangular internal edge, the exterior forms a asymmetrical rectangle with convex edges, particularly on narrow edge. In profile the axe an elongated triangle. No casting seam is visible. One profile face has a sub circular loop. This loop measures 7.5 mm in length, 4.4 mm wide and 2.2 mm thick. The hole has an internal diameter of 2.3 mm. The axe measures 18.6 mm long, 12.6 mm wide and 8.3 mm thick. It weighs 4.7g. The interior of the mouth socket measures 3.7 mm long and 4.0 mm wide. The socket is 4.0 mm deep. The blade is 1.2 mm thick. The dating of miniature axeheads is from the Late Bronze Age to the Roman period, although they are more common from the Roman period. Their function is probably as an amulet or votive. This example is more faithful to Late Bronze Age socketed axeheads than miniature axeheads usually are, and the heavy patina supports this. But Kiernan (Kiernan, P. 2009 Miniature Votive Offerings in the Roman North West Verlag p. 145-7) highlights the possible link between the 're-use of prehistoric axes in Roman period sanctuaries, and the dedication of miniature axes.' He lists Roman sanctuary sites which have produced prehistoric axes, some of which include miniautes axes as Richborough, Nettleton, Wycomb, and Silchester (ibid: 146). Several similar votive axeheads have been recorded on the PAS database, including: WAW-80FB93; IOW-E2E708; DOR-67F865 and DUR-35C6C8.

WMID-6F202E: BROOCH
An incomplete enamelled copper alloy Headstud style brooch, of Roman dating (AD 75 - AD 200). Approximately 95% of the brooch is present consisting of the bow, headloops, wings, foot, pin and hinge. The pin and catch plate are incomplete. In plan, the brooch is almost T-shaped, and rectangular in cross section. The bow head is angular (comma shaped) in profile. The headloop at the top of the brooch is complete, and is circular in nature. The bow is decorated by a circular decorative headstud, comprising two concentric circles. Below the headstud, the bow has been decorated by a column of lozenges running vertically down the bow. Traces of blue enamel are present within the recessed cells. Two horizontal ribs are present at the base of the bow, just above the foot. The wings have been decorated with a vertical rouletted rib. The original hinge fitting for the pin are present, consisting of the axis bar. Iron corrosion products are present, indicating that the axis bar is made from iron. The back of the brooch is undecorated. The catch plate is mostly complete, consisting of a triangular projection. The fold, that formed the pin rest, is missing.

An incomplete copper alloy brooch of Colchester derivative Polden Hill (Mackreth Group 4, flat wing ends type, West Midlands), Mackreth 2011, 4.a-4.b, 4c, Plate 46. Roman date (AD 80 to AD 120). Approximately 50% of the brooch is present, with the pin, catch plate and foot missing, presumed lost in antiquity. In plan, the brooch is almost T-shaped, and D-shaped in cross section. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile, with cylindral wings projecting from either side at the top. The base of a rearward facing hook is present at the top of bow, this would have held part of the spring. No decoration is present on the bow. A ridge is present at the shoulders between the bow and the wings. Each of the wings has a sub circular wing cap, probably pierced. The back of the brooch is plain and undecorated. A cylindrical groove is present behind the wings, this would have originally held the spring. The spring is still present within the groove. Iron corrosion products have obscured details of the spring. The catch plate, foot knop and pin are missing. The brooch measures 33.8 mm length, is 20.0 mm wide across wings and 14.5 mm thick. It weighs 11.1 g. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, with an even patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface. Similar brooches can be seen in Richard Hattatt's Visual Guide to Ancient brooches (p 300, fig 159). A similar brooch has been recorded on the PAS database as WMID-081AE1. Reference: Hattatt, R.

The other end exhibits an old, post depositional break. A couple of small U shaped grooves are present towards the triangular end. It measures 47.6 mm in length, 8.6 mm wide and 4.9 mm thick. It weighs 5.1 g. The artefact is a mid brown colour, with an even surface patina. The artefact bears a resemblance to a stylus, but it is not consistent with that as an identification. A similar possible stylus or possible cosmetic spoon has been recorded on the PAS database as SUSS-487895.

WMID-D0D9BD: FINGER RING
An incomplete copper alloy finger ring, of Roman dating (1st to 2nd Century AD). Around 50% of the finger ring is present, consisting of the bezel and the shoulders. The rest of the hoop is missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The shoulders widen evenly and thicken slightly from the broken ends to the oval bezel and are D-shaped in section with a flat inner side and shallowly convex outer side. The design on the shoulders is unclear, but it is either a foliate design or a Y shaped ridge, with the forked end reaching up to the bezel. On the bezel, taking up almost the entire width and length with a circular collar, is an integral raised oval boss. The boss has convex rounded sides (in plan and cross section) and a flat top. The top is decorated with a cupid shooting a bow and arrow. The bezel measures 11.5 mm in length by 11.4 mm wide. The finger ring measures 14.8 mm in length, 21.6 mm wide and 11.4 mm thick. It probably had an original diameter of 21.6 mm. It weighs 4.3 g. The finger ring is a dark green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the ploughsoil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Several similar style finger rings have been recorded on the PAS database, including: SOM-F15E1E; LVPL-4BBF02 and SOM-1C2529. They are similar to that of a Guiraud / Henig Type 2 (1974, fig 1), which are considered to be of 1st to 2nd Century AD in date.

WMID-CF8142: COSMETIC MORTAR
An incomplete copper alloy end looped cosmetic mortar, typically of Late Iron Age to the Early Roman dating (1st to 2nd Centuries AD). The mortar has a plain, relatively shallowed bowed profile, with the suspension loop situated at one end. The loop is incomplete. The opposing end of the mortar is incomplete, with the tip broken post depositionally. The mortar itself has a shallow U shaped cross section. The interior (grinding surface) is smooth. The mortar measures 47.5 mm in length, 7.9mm width and 12.2 mm high. The grinding surface is 5.0 mm wide and 1.5 mm deep. It weighs 11.6 grams. The cosmetic mortar is dark green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Cosmetic mortars can be otherwise known as woad or cosmetic grinders. They come as part of a set of two artefacts, the mortar and the pestle. Ralph Jackson published a corpus of known examples in 1985, of which two are similar to this example. No. 20 from Thistleton, Leicestershire (Jackson, 1985, p179) and no. 30 from Colchester, Essex (Jackson, 1985, p.181). Over 187 examples have been recorded on the PAS database.

WMID-172315: BRACELET
An incomplete copper alloy possible bracelet or armlet, of possible Roman dating (2nd to 4th Centuries AD). The bracelet is sub circular, with an oval cross section. No decoration is present on the bracelet. The bracelet is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. The bracelet measures 65.8 mm in length, 15.6 mm wide and 3.2 mm thick. The bracelet is 4.1 mm wide. It weighs 6.0 g. Similar plain armlets or bracelets, were found at the Butt Road cemetery side, and was dated to 2nd to c.450 AD (Crummy, 1983, 38, #1640-1651). This bracelet is closest in style to that of #1643-4, so it is possible that it is of similar dating, however without the clasp being present, identification of this as a bracelet is only a possibility. It could be a piece of thick Post medieval copper alloy wire that fulfilled a different function. Reference: Crummy, N. 1983. The Roman Small finds from excavations in Colchester 1971-9.

An incomplete copper alloy Roman Trumpet brooch, of Roman dating (75 AD to 175 AD). Approximately 25% of the brooch is present, consisting of the top of the bow and part of the head loop. The rest of the brooch (foot, catch plate, spring and pin) are all missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The top of the brooch consists of an angular bow descending from a plate below a head loop (now incomplete). The headloop is incomplete and consists of a flat rectangular plate, with the base of a circular loop. A horizontal groove is present just below the incomplete loop. The head of the brooch is complete, semi circular in plan, and tapers into the bow. The bow is D-shaped in cross section. At the shoulder (midway) point of the bow, there are two raised ridges, with a deep groove inbetween. Otherwise the bow is undecorated. A sub circular concavity is present in the back of the head, with part of the clay casting core visible. This concavity would have originally retained the spring. Parts of the attachment lugs for the axis bar are still present to either side of the concavity. The reverse of the brooch is flat and undecorated. It measures 34.5 mm in length, 14.9 mm wide and 15.6 mm thick. It weighs 5.6 grams. The brooch is a mid 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 surface detail. Hattatt published a similar but more complete brooch, from Wall, Staffordshire (2000, p328, fig 187, #952) in his visual catalogue of Ancient Brooches, and dated that example to 1st to 2nd Centuries AD.

An incomplete copper alloy T-shaped Wroxeter type, Hull 151 brooch, of Roman dating (1st to 2nd centuries AD). Approximately 75% of the brooch is present, consisting of the bow, and part of the foot and catch plate. The pin and spring are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The remains of a rearward facing hook (to retain part of the spring) is present on the head of the brooch. To either side of the head, a semi circular wing extends, with a pierced wing cap. A cylindrial groove is present on the reverse, behind the wings. This would have originally held the spring. The pin is missing. The bow protrudes from the centre of the bow head and is sub rectangular in section and curved in profile. The upper section of the bows' outer face is decorated with two parallel vertical cells each filled with traces of enamel (orange). At the mid point of the bow, below the cells, there is decorative moulding consisting of ribs with narrowing between. The bow gradually tapers towards an incomplete foot. The catch plate is incomplete, located behind the front and consists of a vertical plate. The reverse of the bow is plain and undecorated. The brooch measures 32.3 mm in length, 14.1 mm wide and 13.0 mm thick. It weighs 5.6 g. The brooch is a mid brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. These types of brooch can be considered to be a variation of the 'T' shaped brooch. Hattatt (2000. p. 331, fig 190) illustrates a similar brooch, No. 442 and dates these type of brooches to the 1st to 2nd centuries. However, Bayley and Butcher (2004, p. 169) illustrate similar brooches, the 'Wroxeter' and 'Prestatyn' type brooches and separate these from the 'T' shaped examples. The recorded example is very similar to the 'Wroxeter' example and these date to late 1st century to the 2nd century (Bayley and Butcher: p. 169). These type of brooches are found commonly in North Wales and the Midlands (ibid). Reference: Bayley, J. & Butcher, S. 2004.

Approximately 75% of the brooch is present, consisting of the head, bow, a wing, catchplate and foot. The other wing, spring and pin are missing, presumably lost in antiquity. In plan, the brooch is almost T-shaped, and D-shaped in cross section. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile, with cylindral wings projecting from either side at the top, only one now present. A rear ward facing hook is present at the head of the bow, this would held part of the spring. No decoration is present on the front of the bow or the wings. Each of the wings has a sub circular pierced wing cap. The back of the brooch is plain and undecorated. A cylindrical groove is present behind the wings, this would have originally held the spring (now missing). The catch plate is present at the base of the bow, consisting of a large triangular plate, with folded edge to retain the pin (now missing). The foot knop consists of a ridged circular collar at the base of the brooch. The brooch measures 55.8 mm length, is 16.9 mm wide across wings and 15.1 mm thick. It weighs 9.2 grams. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, with an even patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface. Similar brooches can be seen in Richard Hattatt's Visual Guide to Ancient brooches (p 300, fig 159). Similar brooches have been recorded on the PAS database as WMID-4A2F08 and WMID-081AE1.

WMID-FB2756: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy unusual Aesica brooch, of Early Roman dating (AD 43-65). Around 75% of the brooch is present, consisting of the back plate, lozenge boss, upper bow, a wing and an incomplete spring casing. The spring and pin are missing presumed lost in antiquity. The brooch is composite, being made of three separate parts: a back plate, a lozenge boss and the upper bow. The back plate is irregular in shape. The top of the plate consists of the wings and is sub rectangular in shape, with curved ends (26.2 mm wide). The reverse of this would have originally held the spring (now missing). Only one of the wings is now present. From the centre of the lower edge, a lozenge plate central section extends (39.4 mm wide) . This has ridges along the edges, and a central circular rivet hole on the reverse. This rivet hole contains the end of the curved upper bow. Below the lozenge section, is a sub triangular foot section (19.8 mm minimum width, 32.0 maximum width). The lower edge has sub triangular knops on each corner. Due to the level of abrasion, it is hard to determine if these are incomplete or not. The reverse of the foot plate has a vertical sub triangular incomplete catch plate. The catch plate has been perforated with two circular holes, 1.8 mm wide. The front of the foot plate bears raised decoration. This decoration consists of two circular ridges, set inside each other, with petal shaped ends. The outer petal ends have two circular dots, almost resembling 'eyes', the inner petal ends have one dot. A horizontal row of six circular perforations on the reverse corresponds with the 'eyes' on the front. The holes on the reverse have an internal diameter of 1.3 mm. The lozenge boss has been positioned in the centre of the lozenge section of the back plate. The boss is convex (domed) in shape, with a series of decorative perforations around the edge. The two lower edges have three triangular perforations, with a circular one to either side. Whereas the upper two edges (partially obscured from view by the curved bow) have a central triangular perforation with a circular one to either side. The curved bow starts from the wings, and continues through the boss into the back plate. The curved bow starts off as 21.2 mm wide, expands in width to 30.9 mm before shrinking in width to 8.5 mm at the boss. The bow has been decorated with two vertical grooves, with thickened edges. It measures 59.8 mm in length, 39.5 mm wide and 24.5 mm thick. It weighs 51.6 g. The brooch is a mid green to mid brown colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. Similar Aesica style brooches have been published by Hattatt (2000, p311, no 288-9) and Mackreth (2011, p 46-7, no 11880), although none of them have the same lozenge style bow and zoomorphic / petal decoration on the foot. It is possible that this brooch may have been part of a chatelaine due to the sub triangular knops at the edge of the foot. Similar brooches have been recorded on the PAS database as CAM-97D6C8 and BERK-218566. References: Hattatt, R. 2000. A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches. Oxbow books, Oxford.

An incomplete cast copper alloy symmetrical plate brooch, of Late Roman dating (3rd to 4th Centuries AD). Approximately 75% of the brooch is present, consisting of the plate, hinge and an incomplete catch plate. The gem and pin are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The brooch consists of an oval plate, with originally a centrally set conical paste or glass 'gem'. Black residue is present around the edge of the gem setting. Around the gem, are two concentric oval rings, with repeat punched decoration within. Gilding is present in the recesses of the concentric oval rings. The back of the brooch is plain and undecorated. The catch plate is present and consists of an incomplete rectangular asymmetrical lug, with an incomplete outer edge folded over to retain the tip of the pin. The hinge is present, and consists of an incomplete semi-circular lug on the opposing side of the brooch to the catch plate. The brooch measures 27.5 mm in length, 20.6 mm wide and 5.6 mm thick. It weighs 4.8 grams. The brooch is a dark green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. This type of symmetrical plate brooch has been classified as a Hull T271 (Bailey & Butcher, 2004, p 178 & p 240). Bailey and Butcher (2004, p 178) state that examples of the oval variant (such as this example) have been found from the Northern frontier, Yorkshire, East Midlands and the South and East. They believe to be a British product as relatively few examples are known from the continent. Bailey and Butcher consider them to date to the third, if not the fourth century AD. Several similar brooches have been recorded on the PAS database, including: WMID-E5C925 and WMID-D96326.

An incomplete copper alloy Roman Colchester derivative Polden Hill (Mackreth Group 4, flat wing ends), Mackreth 2011, 4.d. Plate 47, dating (AD 80 to AD 120). Approximately 75% of the brooch is present. The spring, foot and pin are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. A wing and the catch plate are incomplete. The wings of the brooch are semi-circular, with circular end caps, with a hole for the spring. The wings have been decorated with a series of horizontal lines. A rearward facing hook is present on the head of the brooch for the top of the spring. A semi circular recess is present behind the wings, on the reverse of the brooch. This recess would have originally held the spring. The front of the bow has been decorated with a recessed vertical panel running the length of the bow. Horizontal lines (or rouletting) is present inside this panel. . A ridge is present at the junction between the wings and the bow. The brooch measures 30.7 mm in length, 20.2 mm wide and 12.9 mm thick. It weighs 9.7 g. The brooch is a mid green colour, with an uneven surface. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. In a couple of areas, where the original surface has been removed, patches of a lighter green colour are present. These areas should be monitored for signs of active copper corrosion (bronze disease) occurring (a bright green powdery residue). To reduce this risk, the brooch should be stored in a sealed airtight dry box, such as a tupperware box lined with silica gel and acid free tissue paper.

An incomplete copper alloy lozenge-shaped plate brooch, of Roman dating (probably second century AD). Around 75% of the brooch is present, with just the pin missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The plate, hinge and catch plate are present. The plate is lozenge shaped with a rounded, collared knop at each angle. The hinged end of the brooch has a collar either side of the knop. There is a raised border running around the edge of the obverse of the brooch whilst, aside from the hinge and catchplate, the reverse of the brooch is flat. There is a central peforation which contains the remains of an iron shank from a rivet or stud. Traces of silvering are visible in the recessed field on the obverse. The hinge still contains remnants of an iron pin. The catch plate consists of a vertical plate, with an curved top, to retain the pin. Traces of silvering are present on the reverse. The brooch measures 48.9 mm long, 23.7 mm wide and 11.0 mm thick. The plate is 3.8 mm thick. It weighs 11.5 grams. The brooch is a mid green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the surface detail. Two similar brooches have been recorded on the PAS database (DENO-6C0CE1 & WMID-B369A6). Both examples are considered possibly to be of Gaulish origin, and that may also be a possibility with this one brooch.

An incomplete copper alloy brooch of uncertain type, of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 200). Less than 25% of the brooch is present, consisting only of the catch plate. The bow, wings, head, spring and pin are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The brooch fragment is sub triangular in plan, with an folded edge along one side. The opposite side has a rounded edge. File marks are present. It measures 21.8 mm in length, 5.5 mm wide and 10.1 mm thick. It weighs 3.1 g.

An incomplete copper alloy brooch of Colchester derivative Polden Hill (flat wing ends type, Western Group), cf. Mackreth 2011, 5.a2.a. Plate 49. Approximately 50% of the brooch is present, consisting of the head, bow, spring and wings. The foot, pin and catch plate are missing, presumably lost in antiquity. In plan, the brooch is almost T-shaped, and rectangular in cross section. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile, with cylindral wings projecting from either side at the top. A rearward facing hook is located at the head of the brooch, currently retaining a small section of the spring. The base of this hook extends down on the centre of the brooch, where the base tapers out. To either side of this are two vertical groove, with a flanking ridge to either side. Each of the wings has a sub circular wing cap, with a central piercing to hold the axis bar. The remains of a copper alloy circular sectioned wire spring is still present, coiled around the axis bar. The back of the brooch is plain and undecorated. The brooch measures 24.2 mm length, is 15.9 mm wide across wings and 9.7 mm thick. It weighs 3.4 grams.

An incomplete cast copper alloy Trumpet style brooch, of Roman (75 to 175 AD) dating. Approximately 50% of the brooch is present, with the pin, spring and part of the catch plate missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The rest of the brooch is intact. The head of the brooch is oval in plan, and tapers into the bow. The reverse of the head is concave, with a integrally cast rectangular lug. There is no evidence of a head loop or plate. The bow of the brooch is D shaped in cross section. The head has been decorated with a symmetrical raised curvilinear design. The design consists of a thin line with a curved end, with a sub teardrop shaped element, with a ring and dot at the top. The head of the brooch tapers into the body. Halfway down the length of the bow, are three semi-circular collar mouldings. Beneath the moulding, the lower part of the bow extends and tapers slightly. A symmetrical curvilinear design with the central line being straight and the other side wavy, is present as a recessed design down the length of the bow. The bow terminates in a foot knop, which is incomplete, but has a sub circular collar above it. The catch plate starts beneath the moulding on the back of the brooch and is sub triangular in shape. It is incomplete, missing the external edge, which formed the pin rest. The brooch measures 51.8 mm in length, 17.0 mm wide and 18.5 mm thick. It weighs 16.1 g. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Trumpet style brooches typically date from 75 to 175 AD. Hattatt (2000, p326, fig 185) published several similar examples, in particular #1529 from Castleford, West Yorkshire and #948 from Wall, Staffordshire.

WMID-97C952: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy zoomorphic strap fitting or apron pendant, of probable Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410). The strap fitting is in the form of a forwards facing eagle with incomplete head facing forwards, splayed wings, oval shaped body, and neatly rendered claws and tail that project downwards at the base of the plate. Decorative detailing has been applied to the front of the strap fitting, marking out feathers and claws. Remains of silvering/tinning to the surface is still present. A sub rectangular perforation (hole) is present between the two legs and may have been a rivet hole. Internal measurements of the hole are 4.4 mm by 3.6 mm. The reverse of the strap fitting is flat, apart from an incomplete rectangular projection in the centre of the reverse. Vertical filemarks are present across the reverse. It measures 21.8 mm in length, 24.3 mm wide and 6.6 mm thick. It weighs 4.5 g. Several similar strap fittings have been recorded on the PAS database as SF-BC5F01, SF-89C952 & WMID-4A4F76, which have been described as a decorative strap fitting, mount or slide in the form of a forwards facing eagle. No exact parallel has so far been identified, but its general form and appearance might indicate a date range in the Roman period, c.43-410 AD. A later date range cannot, however, be ruled out entirely.

WMID-5D4936: STRAP FITTING
A complete copper alloy strap fitting or strap slide, of Early Roman dating (1st to 3rd Century AD). The 'strap-slide' has a square-headed and thin platform/ head with slightly irregular and uneven edges. A thin inscribed line running around the edge is the only decoration on the front of the slide. Stratchmarks are present on the front. The underside of this platform is flat and undecorated. There is a large rectangular loop at the back of the artefact, where the strap would have originally passed through. This loop is undecorated and appears to be integral. It measures 22.6 mm in length, 18.0 mm wide and 11.3 mm thick. It weighs 8.9 g. The strap slide is a dark green colour with an even surface patina. Strap slides are not uncommon finds, but more frequently they have enamel decoration. This example is unusual being plain with minimal decoration. Other similar strap slides including: NMS-5305E6; NLM-F94ED7; LANCUM-589FD4 and WMID-1A1F11.

WMID-5CC482: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER
A complete copper alloy button and looped fastener, of Late Iron Age to Early Roman dating (100 BC to c. 150 AD). The front of the button and loop fastener is trefoil shaped. The head is formed by a number of beads: there are three larger beads in a rectangular formation with a smaller bead in the centre. The integral cast shank (loop) is attached in the centre of the rear of the head and offset at approximately 90° to the plain of the head before turning at a 90° right angle so that the loop would project in the same plain as the button head. The shank is sub-rectangular in plan, and oval in cross section. It expands to form a triangular attachment loop. It measures 35.0 mm in length, 13.9 mm wide and 18.7 mm thick. It weighs 9.1 g. The fastener is a mid brown colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the ploughsoil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. This fastener does not fit neatly into any of Wild's classifications (1970). It is however, quite similar to another example recorded on this database (HESH-4C6224), which was also considered typologically problematic. Three broadly comparable examples are recorded on this database (WMID-07E690, WMID-D2AFD6 and WMID-BF8D50). Intriguingly, all of these broadly comparable examples have a West Midlands distribution, perhaps reflecting a regional type which would be worthy of further study. Wild (1970, 145) notes that the purpose of these fasteners was 'to hold together two pieces of fabric, leather or woven textile. The shank or loop was either sewn to a fabric base or attached to it by a thong.....The head of the fastener was probably inserted through a slit or loop in another section of fabric. There is no evidence to suggest that the head was fitted through a metal ring.' Additionally, Wild states that the only item of Roman clothing where the fasteners could have been used is the civilian and military cape, although there is little evidence to support this suggestion. The fasteners could have aslo been used as harness fittings. Reference: Wild, JP. 1970. Button-and-loop fasteners in the Roman provinces, Britannia, Vol. 1,137-155.

WMID-4D2C07: BROOCH
An incomplete enamelled copper alloy plate / disc brooch of Roman dating (AD 80 to AD 250). Approximately 90% of the brooch is present, consisting of the front plate, incomplete spring and catch plate. The pin is missing, presumably lost in antiquity. The brooch consists of a circular disc, with enamel decoration on the front, with a the remains of a sprung pin attached on the back. The enamelled decoration consists of a six pointed red star with a central circular hole. Blue triangular enamelled cells are present between each of the points of the star. The back of the brooch is undecorated. The remains of the catc plate is present, opposite the remnants of the spring. The incomplete spring consists of an internal chord (passing under the pin), and two coils on one side of the attachment point and one coil on the other. The brooch measures 21.4 mm in diameter and 5.9 mm thick. It weighs 2.9 grams. The brooch is a dark green colour, with red and blue enamel still present. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Roman brooches of this type are frequently encountered. Due to their size, it is doubtful that they were of practical use (dress fasteners) but more decorative in nature. Similar brooches can be seen in Richard Hattatt's Visual Guide to Ancient brooches (p 344, fig 203, #1029 & #1030) and are considered to be of 1st to 2nd Century AD dating. Reference: Hattatt, R.

WMID-4CEB20: HARNESS FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy stud or mount, probably from a horse's chamfron (face guard), of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410). The mount is in the form of a forward facing human head which is concave. It is sub-oval in plan and semi-circular in side view and cross-section. The head piece takes the form of a high cap with its peak falling forward, representing a 'Phrygian' cap of a type used in Roman art as a signifier of diverse eastern ethnic groups, as well as of certain gods and heroes, including inter alios Ganymede, Attis, Ascanius and Mithras. Between the cap and the face there is a fringe formed of curls. The facial features are well defined. The eyes are almond-shaped, the nose triangular and the mouth is a horizontal groove with a circular depression at each end. Between the nose and the mouth there is a small circular depression which is similar to those on the cap. The chin is rounded and on its underside there is a circular depression. The rear surface is uneven and corroded. At the centre an integal copper alloy attachment spike is present. It has a circular cross section (5.2 mm diameter) and is incomplete, with the end missing. It measures 20.7 mm in length, 22.0 mm wide and 10.2 mm thick. The sides are 1.8 mm thick. It weighs 6.4 g. The mount is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the ploughsoil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. A similar mount has been recorded on the PAS database as IOW-60FC80. Another similar mount was found during recent excavations at the Roman fortress in Caerleon and is believed to be part of a cavalry chamfron (face guard).

The brooch is approximately 75% complete, with just the pin and some enamel missing. The front of the brooch has been separated into two separate areas: a central oval and an outer oval border. The areas are delimited by a raised flat border. The outer border (which also functions as a rim for the brooch) is 1.9 mm wide. Remains of blue enamel inlay are present in the outer border. A central red paste intaglio is present in the central oval. The intaglio is oval and held in place by an setting of copper alloy. The device on the intaglio is hard to determine, it is possibly a fish, or a fish or a head and shoulders. The back of the brooch is plain and undecorated. The catch plate is incomplete and consists of an incomplete rectangular asymmetrical lug. The hinge is present, formed from a semi-circular lug on the opposing side of the brooch to the catch plate. A small amount of iron oxide corrosion product present on the hinge indicates that the base of the pin is present, and it was made from iron. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the ploughsoil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. The brooch measures 26.4 mm in length, 21.1 mm wide and 11.2 mm thick. The intaglio measures 11.7 mm in length by 8.7 mm wide. It weighs 8.2 grams. Several similar disc brooches have been recorded on the PAS database including: LVPL-9E0A66; WILT-110FA5; CAM-D88912; HESH-D7D585; LANCUM-591F32 and LIN-C14581. All are consistent with late Roman dating (c. AD 200 to c. AD 350).

WMID-4BC712: FINGER RING
A complete silver finger ring, of Roman dating (AD 100 to AD 300). The finger ring has a rectangular shaped bezel, with a couple of semi circular notches removed from each side. The shoulders are triangular and flattened, with five sets of incised lines that expand from the loop outwards towards the bezel. The hoop at the back is triangular in cross section and is 4.7 mm thick and 3.9 mm wide. The bezel measures 21.6 mm in length and is 18.4 mm wide. The shoulders have a maximum width of 18.4 mm and are 1.4 mm thick. Internally, the finger ring measures 20.3 mm wide and 16.6 mm in length. Externally, it measures 21.4 mm in length, by 23.0 mm wide, and 18.3 mm thick. It weighs 8.1 g. The finger ring is a light grey colour, with an even surface patina. This is a version of the standard 3rd century keeled finger-ring with triangular carinated shoulders, Henig Type VIII. Several similar finger rings have been recorded on the PAS database including SOM-BBE0E6; GLO-EC8251; HAMP-6125A6 and LIN-7B2797. As this example was found prior to 1996, despite it being older than 300 years with a precious metal content of greater than 10%, it is not classified under the requirements of the Treasure Act 1996 and is not treasure.

WMID-4B55B0: BROOCH
An incomplete enamelled copper alloy umbonate plate brooch, of Roman dating (AD 100 to AD 250). Approximately 75% of the brooch is present, with only the pin and part of the catch plate missing, presumably lost in antiquity. The brooch is sub circular in shape, with three (3) surviving projecting knops and is domed (convex) in cross section. The front consists of a domed boss, with two concentric circles of triangular enamelled cells, arranged around a central circular cell. Both the inner and outer circles have been made up of fourteen cells, with alternating red and blue enamel. A thin rim is present around the edge of the outermost circle. It is to this rim that the projecting knops are attached at the cardinal points. Two of the projecting knops consist of the hinge and catch plate for the pin on the reverse. The back of the brooch is plain and undecorated. It is concave. The base of the catch plate are still present on one side of the brooch, and the majority of the hinge on the other. The pin is missing. The brooch measures 33.9 mm in length, 25.2 mm wide and 11.7 mm thick. It weighs 9.2 grams. The brooch is a green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the ploughsoil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Umbonate brooches of this type are frequently encountered finds. Hattatt (2000) dates one from Owmby, Lincolnshire (p. 350, fig 209, #128) to the 2nd Century. Other comparative examples recorded on the PAS database include BERK-356282 from Oxfordshire, SF-F7D194 from Suffolk, DENO-60F478 from Nottinghamshire, and HAMP-7EAF20 from Hampshire.

WMID-4A4F76: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy strap fitting or apron pendant, of probable Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410). The strap fitting is in the form of a forwards facing eagle with head turned to right, splayed wings, oval shaped body, and neatly rendered claws and tail that project downwards at the base of the plate. Below the claws, the eagle is standing on a ball. Decorative detailing has been applied to the front of the strap fitting, marking out feathers and claws. A circular perforation (hole) is present between the two legs and may have been a rivet hole. It has an internal diameter of 2.4 mm. An incomplete suspension loop is present above the eagle's head. The reverse of the strap fitting is plain and undecorated. Horizontal filemarks are present across the reverse. It measures 34.6 mm in length, 17.4 mm wide and 6.6 mm thick. It weighs 5.5 g. A similar strap fitting has been recorded on the PAS database as SF-BC5F01, which has been described as a decorative strap fitting, mount or slide in the form of a forwards facing eagle. No exact parallel has so far been identified, but its general form and appearance might indicate a date range in the Roman period, c.43-410 AD. A later date range cannot, however, be ruled out entirely.

WMID-49EBA7: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete enamelled copper alloy, belt plate of Roman dating (AD 100 to AD 300). The plate is sub rectangular in shape, but has abraded and incomplete corners. The edges are rounded. The front of the plate carries an elaborate panel of decoration, originally filled with enamel. The main, central element of the design comprises a rectangular block of leaf ornament, this panel is flanked by a border of copper alloy with small triple lobed projections towards te edge of the plate. The border has been infilled with red enamel, the central panel possibly blue enamel (now decayed to an off white/green colour). The reverse of the plate has an incomplete knop, this may have originally been part of an attachment loop. It measures 18.3 mm in length, 14.8 mm wide and 4.1 mm thick. It weighs 1.6 g. The plate is a dark brown colour, with an even surface patina. A similar example is illustrated in Chapman (Chapman, E. 2005 A Catalogue of Roman Military Equipment in the National Museum of Wales B.A.R. 388, p111) Nos. Sd01, Sd02, Sd05, Sd06 and Sd12. which is described as a buckle plate dating to the early second century. If the object is not a buckle plate, is is highly probable it is a type of strap fitting of this date as Chapman comments (2005: 111) that enamelled belt plates were popular in the 2nd to 3rd centuries.

WMID-37CDE1: BROOCH
An incomplete dragonesque plate brooch of Roman dating (AD 75 to AD 175). Around 75% of the brooch survives, with only the head, body and part of the pin present. The tail and rest of the pin are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The brooch has a backwards S-shaped body, with originally two terminals which take the form of a head with a snout and curved protrusions and rounded terminals with small circular depressions, which may represent ears or eyes. Around the neck of the upper terminal is a wound copper alloy ring, with an incomplete projection. This is the pin, used to secure the brooch to a garment. The reverse is concave. The front has been decorated with punched ring and dots. The lower terminal is missing. It measures 40.8 mm in length, 19.6 mm wide and 2.1 mm thick. The brooch is a dark brown 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 surface detail.

WMID-36D4E1: HARNESS FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy horse harness fitting, of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410). Approximately 95% of the fitting is present, with one of the square rivet lugs missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The rest is complete. The fitting comprises a central semi circular ridge with a double groove decoration running around the length of the ridge. To either side of this ridge, is a sub semi circular flat plate, with three square rivet lugs located at the cardinal points. In the centre of each of these plates is a circular perforation (hole), with an internal diameter of 2.4 mm. A circular recess surrounds this hole. Four of the surviving five rivet lugs still contain a copper alloy circular sectioned rivet. The remaining hole is empty, with a circular perforation with an internal diameter of 1.9 mm. It measures 42.5 mm in length, 18.7 mm wide and 10.7 mm thick ( plate is 2.4 mm thick). It weighs 9.4 g. The fitting is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Sally Worrell (NFA Prehistoric & Roman Artefacts) comments that this artefact has similarities with military strap terminals such as Chapman 2005, 136-7, Tf01 and harness mounts Tg14 which are quite close.

WMID-345F27: WEIGHT
An incomplete lead or lead alloy steelyard weight, of probable Roman dating (1st to 2nd Century AD). The weight is hemispherical (flat top, domed base) in shape. The remains of an iron suspension loop are running through the length of the weight. It measures 35.2 mm tall, with a maximum diameter of 42.7 mm. It weighs 395.3 g (13.94 oz). The weight is a light grey to off white colour, with an even surface patina. Similar biconical weights have been found associated with Roman steelyards, such as WMID-184456 and WMID-049777 and can be dated from 1st to 2nd Centuries AD. However lead weights due to being a functional artefact, can continue being used until the Late Medieval period.

An incomplete copper alloy probable Colchester Derivative (Dolphin Hinged) type, probably of Roman dating (AD 55 to AD 100). Approximately 45% of the brooch is present, consisting of bow, wings, incomplete catch plate, partial head and hinge. The rest is missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The bow is D-shaped, with an angled head. The back of the bow exhibits an unusual U shaped groove down the length, approximately 0.4 mm deep. At the base of the bow, an incomplete catch plate is present. The head exhibits two incomplete cylindrical tubes, forming the incomplete wings. This tube would have originally held the axis bar for the hinged pin. A rectangular slot is present between the two cylindrical tubes, this is where the hinged pin would have been located. It measures 36.3 mm in length, 19.0 mm wide and 11.3 mm thick. It weighs 7.0 g. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, with an uneven patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of the original surface detail. This has the result that it is hard to see if the brooch was originally decorated or not. Similar brooches have been recorded on the PAS database, including: WMID-F92563 and LIN-2E5FE0.

An incomplete copper alloy Colchester derivative (double-pierced lug) brooch, of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 100). Approximately 50% of the brooch is present, consisting of the bow, wings, head, and an incomplete catch plate. The pin and spring are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. In plan, the brooch is almost T-shaped, and D-shaped in cross section. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile, with flat rectangular wings projecting from either side at the top. An incomplete triangular catch plate extends from the reverse of the foot of the bow. The back of the brooch is plain and undecorated. The wings are plain and undecorated. Behind the head, on the reverse of the brooch, is a double pierced lug, which would have retained the spring. The brooch measures 40.9 mm in length, 14.3 mm wide and 16.2 mm thick. It weighs 4.0 grams. The brooch is a mid green colour, and has an even surface patina. Several similar brooches have been recorded on the PAS database including WMID-CD10F2 and WMID-3A4702.

WMID-8F76B5: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy knee brooch, of Roman dating (AD 150 to AD 250). Around 25% of the brooch is present, consisting of the head plate and the top of the bow. The rest is missing, presumed lost in antiquity. Instead of wings there is a vertical semi-circular head plate with the straight edge forming the lower edge. On the reverse of the head plate there are two vertical semi-circular perforated lugs which would have originally held a copper alloy axis bar for the spring. The spring and the axis bar are no longer present. The bow extends in an accentuated curve and is semi-circular in section. It measures 16.6 mm in length, 20.3 mm wide and 15.2 mm thick. It weighs 3.9 g. The brooch is a light green colour, with an even surface patina. Several similar knee brooches have been recorded on the PAS database, including: SUR-5599F3; LIN-B37745; SWYOR-AFB0C6; YORYM-3D9318 and WAW-5C0948. Bayley and Butcher (2004, 179) note that after a period of perhaps a century where locally produced brooches supplied the British market, knee brooches are the first of the more general continental types seen in Britain.

WMID-27A777: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER
A complete copper alloy button and loop fastener, of Early Roman dating (AD 50 to AD 175). The head is inverted drop shaped (petal or tear drop), its upper surface largely occupied by a protruding boss with circumferential groove. The area beneath is of triangular section, tapering towards the basal point. The loop is triangular in shape, and springs from the top of the head's hollow reverse, extending horizontally backwards before angling upwards at 90 degrees. It measures 24.2 mm in length, 16.2 mm wide and 11.5 mm thick. It weighs 6.3 g. The fastener is a dark brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. This is an example of Wild's Class III fasteners (1970: 138 - 140), which, at the time of writing, was the most common of all the classes. Most of the excavated examples of button-and-loop fasteners have come from military sites. Unlike classes I and II, which have pre-conquest origins, Wild believes Class III fasteners to have originated in the second half of the 1st century AD, with the majority probably belonging to the middle part of the 2nd century (ibid. 146). Several similar button and loop fasteners have been recorded on the PAS database including: SWYOR-D68398; BH-1284F4; NCL-62CF78; SUR-FFB614; WAW-DE8986; SWYOR-1AA8A7; DUR-937C13; and NLM-610627.

WMID-D32D94: BROOCH
An incomplete enamelled cast copper alloy trumpet brooch, of Roman dating (AD 75 to AD 175). Approximately less than 25% of the brooch is present, consisting only of the enamelled head and an incomplete spring lug. The rest of the brooch (bow, foot, spring and pin) are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The head of the brooch is oval in plan, and tapers into the bow. The back of the head is concave and has a vertical integrally cast attachment lug, with an incomplete circular perforation (internal diameter 3.3 mm). This attachment lug would have originally held the spring. The brooch head has been decorated with three oval recessed cells, some still containing enamel. All still retain blue enamel. The brooch is broken across the bow. The brooch fragment measures 18.0 mm in length, 11.8 mm wide and 15.2 mm thick. It weighs 2.7 g. The brooch is a mid green to mid brown 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 surface detail and enamel. Similar enamelled trumpet brooches have been recorded on the PAS database as WMID-92F942, WMID-116B22, WMID-905580 and WMID-472996.

The brooch measures 34.1 mm in length, 20.0 mm wide and 12.1 mm thick. It weighs 7.4 g. The brooch is a mid green colour, with an uneven surface. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.

WMID-178D25: LAVER
An incomplete copper alloy possible zoomorphic (lion) laver spount or mount, of probable Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410). The mount is sub-circular in shape and has been cast in relief to form a probable lion head on the front convex surface; the reverse is rough cast and is concave. The facial features are depicted by moulded decoration. The hair is depicted around the edge of the mount by a series of curvilinear ridges and curls. The forehead is furrowed slightly with two ridges present between the eyes. The eyebrows are semi circular. The eyes are recessed slightly and shown as three smaller semi circular ridges, in the opposite direction to the eye brows. The nose is flattenened and triangular. A circular hole, with an internal diameter of 5.5 mm is present in the centre of the mouth. The mouth is sub oval in shape, with the corners of the mouth recessed.

WMID-84CA97: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Trumpet style brooch, of Roman (75 to 175 AD) dating. Approximately 50% of the brooch is present, with the pin, foot and spring missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The rest of the brooch is intact. The head of the brooch is oval in plan, and tapers into the bow. The reverse of the head is flat, with a integrally cast rectangular lug. There is no evidence of a head loop or plate. The bow of the brooch is D shaped in cross section. The head of the brooch tapers into the body. Halfway down the length of the bow, is an spherical moulding. Beneath the moulding, the lower part of the bow extends and tapers slightly. Traces of blue enamel in a curvilinear design are still present on the lower part of the bow. The curvilinear design is also present on the sides of the head and the upper part of the bow. The foot and catch plate are missing. The brooch is a dark brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of the original surface in place and removal of some of the decorative detail. The brooch measures 45.3 mm in length, 11.9 mm wide and 17.2 mm thick. It weighs 10.2 grams. Trumpet style brooches typically date from 75 to 175 AD. Hattatt (2000, p326, fig 185) published several similar examples, in particular #1529 from Castleford, West Yorkshire and #948 from Wall, Staffordshire. Reference: Hattatt, R. 2000.

WMID-5AC677: COSMETIC PESTLE
An incomplete copper alloy probable pestle from a Cosmetic Set, of Late Iron Age to Early Roman dating (100 BC to AD 200). Around 75% of the probable pestle is present, the loop is incomplete. The probable pestle iwas originally end looped. The probable pestle has an oval cross section, curved and gradually tapers to the tip. It measures 51.3 mm in length, 16.1 mm wide and 6.7 mm thick. It weighs 16.1 g. The probable pestle is a mid green colour. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface. Cosmetic pestles are part of a cosmetic set, comprising a curved mortar and pestle. These artefacts are tend to be found in Britain, with relatively few examples found on the continent (Jackson, 2010). All are considered to be Late Iron Age to Early Roman in dating (100 BC to AD 200). A similar example with a recurved end loop has been illustrated as no 520 (Jackson, 2010, 198). Two similar pestles have been recorded on the PAS database as GLo-7A6033 and SWYOR-ECAC13. Reference: Jackson, R. 2010. Cosmetic Sets of Late Iron Age to Early Roman Britain.

WMID-1B6884: HARNESS FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy 'miniature' knobbed terret ring of probable later Iron Age or early Roman dating (100 BC - AD 200). Approximately 50% of the terret survives, originally it would have been D shaped in plan; it is now an irregular crescent (C shape). The terret is poorly cast, with multiple air bubbles present. The cross section varies in shape along the length of the terret; for the majority it is oval / lentoid. At the base of the ring is a horizontal strap bar with an angular faceted lentoid cross section. This bar is incomplete; all that remains is a short section and scar at one end. The strap bar itself is slight and much thinner than the ring, it is also slightly offset. The ring itself is thicker with distinct raised moulded lappet (circumferential swelling or collar) at the junction with the bar. Originally the ring would have had an angular arch; decorated with a series of evenly spaced knops. Only one of these knops survives, it is sub rectangular in shape being a raised knop that projects from the ring. The upper part of this knop terminates in a flat platform. The base of the knop is further decorated with a circumferential (basal) groove, at the point where it meets the harness ring. The ring thins after this external knop. It is possible that it may also have been thinned by wear - but the condition does not allow this interpretation. The incomplete terret measures 30.3 mm in length and 26.1 mm wide. The ring is 6.7mm wide and 5.5 mm thick. The surviving knop projects 5.9 mm and measures 11.7 mm long by 7.5 mm. The strap bar is 5.1 mm wide and 4.6 mm thick. The terret ring fragment weighs 7.0 grams. Similar shaped terret rings are known from both Iron Age and Roman contexts. A large number of similar sized terret rings can be seen in McGregor: Early Celtic Art in Northern Britain; however most of these have knops rather than raised platforms. All these are dated from either late Iron Age or early Roman contexts. Several similar knobbed terret rings have been recorded on the PAS database including: NLM-B907F0, HESH-8B4982, IOW-464A93 and ESS-299441.

An incomplete enamelled dragonesque plate brooch of Roman dating (AD 75 to AD 175). Around 50% of the brooch survives, with only the body present. The head, tail and pin are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The brooch is flat and S shaped. The reverse is concave. The front has been decorated with a series of enamel cells, most still containing the original enamel. The enamelled design consists of a central rectangular panel with three lozenge cells filled with yellow enamel. The resulting triangular cells between these two elements are filled with red enamel. The panels to either side of the rectangular element are decorated with scroll or wave type designs again infilled with blue enamel. Red enamel fills in the background behind the scroll or wave design. Two circular cells are present, filled with yellow enamel, within the curves of the scroll. It measures 27.2 mm in length, 15.6 mm wide and 3.9 mm thick. It weighs 3.8 g. Several dragonesque brooches with a similar style of enamelled decoration have been recorded on the PAS database including: YORYM-88C455, YORYM-061D36, LANCUM-6E1D53 and SWYOR-EAC594.

An incomplete copper alloy brooch of Colchester derivative Polden Hill (Mackreth Group 4, flat wing ends type, West Midlands), Mackreth 2011, 4.a-4.b, 4c, Plate 46, Roman dating (AD 80-120.

A Roman incomplete copper alloy enamelled zoomorphic plate brooch in the shape of a sitting cockerel dating from the 2nd Century AD. It is piriform in plan, rounded at the front and slightly pointed at the back with a domed upper surface and is hollow on the underside. The head is above the rounded end and the tail is above the pointed end. The head is flat and sub-circular in profile and has an incomplete comb on top but with no defining points; the beak is triangular in shape. The eyes are made from a punched ring-and-dot motif, with a cell for enamel around the outside. The bird's rounded front is undecorated. Each side of the bird's back has three possible linear cells, some angled back like feathers. These would have been inlaid with enamel and there is a small amount of blue enamel surviving on one side. The sickle type tail is largely missing due to an old break but the remaining stub has a circular perforation. Below the tail, on the underside of the body, there is a double circular pin lug with iron axis bar still surviving, and the remains of the catch plate. The pin is missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The brooch measures 32.70 mm in length, 18.40 mm wide and 23.75 mm high. It weighs 7.7 grams. It is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. The majority of the enamel is no longer present. A similar brooch can be found illustrated in Hattatt (2000, 360; ref. 167), with a couple of other similar examples recorded on this database: IOW-E88B94 and WMID-F66333.
