An incomplete copper-alloy Fob or 'Dangler' of late Iron Age to early Roman date (50 BC - AD 100), although the date range of such objects is a subject of some debate. The fob is a openwork trefoil or triskele of three loops that has a plate in the centre that would have extended into a shank which would project on the reverse of the dangler terminating in a loop, but the shank is missing on this example, leaving just a scar at the centre. Each of the three arms has a knop on the outer perimeter, then curves in an S shape before the tail spirals into the cen…

An incomplete copper-alloy probable cruciform bead from a beaded torc of Iron Age date, about 50 BC – AD 150. It is flat, thick and is a quatrefoil in plan. There is a central, rectangular perforation for it to be threaded onto the iron rod.

A complete Iron Age coin. Though originally suggested to be a gold plated contemporary copy of a gold stater of the North Eastern region / Corieltavi with a copper core (Esuprasu type dating from about AD 40 - 47), it is also suggested that this might be a coin with an unusual level of copper mixed with gold (as those with copper cores tend to weigh less). The coin is 20.1mm in diameter, 3.0mm thick and weighs 5.47g.

An incomplete copper alloy strap fitting, a probable terret of Iron Age to Roman date, 200 BC - AD 200. Only the bar survives so it is not possible to assign it to a Lewis (2015) type.

A possible silver Iron Age coin; an uninscribed North Eastern (Corieltauvi) silver unit or half unit, possibly a Boar/Horse type, phase 6, dating from about 50 - 10 BC. Compare ABC 1812 or 1836. The boar face is obliterated and is almost flat. The horse face has possible traces of a horse left with outline upper legs and pellet joints. The rest of the coin is indistinct. The feature casting most doubt on identification as a coin, is that the edge appears to have a groove most of the way round, suggesting the object is made of two discs. Measurements, diameter 12.6mm, thi…
