Copper alloy weight of uncertain date, possibly Medieval The weight is circular (with a diameter of 25.1mm) and with sides that converge slightly towards the base (of 24.0mm diameter), producing a trapezoidal section (7.6mm - 8.0mm thick). The face has an incised inscription: XOX The surface has a pale green surface patina. The weight is 29.3g, equivalent to 1.0335oz and 18.776 dwt. The weight corresponds closely to one ounce weights of the Mercantile systems and the Tower system (all 29.2g) current in the medieval period but is also consistent with a modern ounce. The 'XOX…

Lead pan weight of uncertain date, possibly medieval The weight is sub-circular (with a diameter of 31.9mm - 33.3mm) and of rectangular section (with a thickness of 8.2mm). There is the suggestion of a lip around the top face but no decoration is discernible on the weight. The weight weighs 58.2g which equates to 2.053ounces. The weight closely corresponds to a 2 ounce weight (allowing for slight corrosion) of the medieval mercantile system (in use pre-1300) and the Tower System in use from 1250 both of which equate to 1.993 ounces.

Roman copper alloy vessel spout The spout appears to be near-complete (with a weight of 42.5g), suggesting it is from a vessel constructed from composite parts. The component piece is of a sub-triangular form with two convex sides and projecting points at the top corners (producing a width of 52.1mm, a length of 45.8mm and a depth of 30mm). The top face is slightly concave and is decorated with three moulded ribs either side of an open triangle (11.2mm x 9.2mm). The side faces are gently convex across their lengths and concave across their widths, towards the spout (where the walls h…

Copper alloy looped fitting, probably from a vessel of uncertain date. The loop is cast and is complete (with an overall length of 31.2mm and a weight of 25.2g). The loop is oval (with a height of 26.4mm and a width of 30.6mm; 13.9mm x 17.4mm internal) and is comparatively substantial with a sub-oval section (7.9mm wide and 6.7mm thick). Wear facets are now difficult to discern on the interior of the loop. The loop was attached by an integral rivet, which has been peened-over on the face. The inside end of the rivet also has a linear incised line, perpendicular to the axis of the lo…

Roman glass sherd from a vessel The sherd is from the rim of a vessel with no curvature in either its width or height, suggesting a square vase or similar (with a surviving length of 44.0mm, a surviving height of 24.7mm and a weight of 6.3g). The sherd thickens slightly towards the rim (with a thickness of 2.6 - 3.4mm). The glass has a blue-green colour and the rim is bevelled towards one face (with a maximum thickness of 5.5mm).

The foot is of sub-rectangular section (8.2mm thick). The circumference arc of the outside edge would suggest that the vessel had a radius at the base of 45mm. The foot is enhanced on one side with an incised border next to the edge and the face has a groove at the centre of each of the ends. The vessel foot has a dark green surface patina, where it surv…

The strip has border of raised chevrons around three of the sides. At one end is a raised cross with expanded, triangular terminals and at the broken end is a raised square. It is now difficult to determine what the strip may be derived from, possibly binding or from a box or casket of medieval to post medieval date.

Copper / lead alloy fitting of uncertain date The fitting appears to be complete or near complete (with a length of 20.1mm, a width of 18.8mm, a thickness of 7.3mm and a weight of 6.6g). The fitting is slightly convex across its width and the sides are straight and near-parallel. The face is ribbed and probably formed three central circular holes, only one of which survives (of 4.5mm diameter). The rear is flat and has two stubs on one side, possibly the remnants of loop. The surface is a pale-green to grey, implying a lead-rich alloy. It is unclear what the fitting is from or fr…

The fragment appears to comprise an integral loop (of approximately 20mm diameter) and base, or similar. The separation of the two integral components is defined by an applied groove. There is the beginning of an angular projection below the loop on one side. The underside of the fragment has a narrow slot. The surface is worn and slightly pitted with a pale green patina.…

Utilised animal bone of uncertain date The bone is incomplete, missing the proximal end (with a surviving length of 216mm and a weight of 333.6g) and is a metatarsal from a large bovine, probably an auroch. The damaged end of the bone is heavily eroded and worn, with a number of worn abrasions near the end, suggestive of animal gnawing. There is a circular perforation (9.5mm diameter) near the distal end, positioned at the centre and adjacent to the medial trochlea. The perforation is regular and parallel-sided, suggesting it was drilled with a metal bit. Other than the perforation,…
