A cast copper alloy fragment probably from a stacking weight of Post Medieval date, circa AD1600-1800. The fragment would have been part of a set of circular weights which would have stacked inside each other. The fragment was broken in antiquity. The surfaces of the fragment are heavily worn due to movement in the plough soil. Part of a thickened, raised circular edge survives. A rim chart indicates that originally the weight would have had a diameter of approximately 7cm. The surviving upper and lower faces of the weight are plain and flat. Originally, the weight may have been stamp…

An incomplete copper alloy posnet handle of Medieval date, circa AD1250-1600. Posnets were a common Medieval cooking vessel resembling a small cauldron with long handles instead of lugs. The handle fragment is sub-rectangular in plan with its widest point at the broken edge and gradually narrowing to the attachment end. The underside of the handle is chamfered along both edges creating a trapezoidal section. The handle curves 90 degrees, narrows and then flares out at the attachment terminal. The upper surface of the handle is decorated with a stamped and punched ring and dot mot…

A probable vessel repair (pot mend) made of cast copper alloy. The date is uncertain but probably dates from the Medieval to Post Medieval period, circa 1450 to 1650. The repair does not have any remnants of the pottery and so the date cannot be refined further. The repair comprises of a thin disk (maximum diameter 13.68mm) with an attached shaft. The repair has a green/light brown patina. There are patches of white chalk residue on the repair. Dimensions: 23.58mm x 12.87mm x 6.10mm. Weight: 4.38g.

An unidentified copper alloy object probably dating to the Medieval period, circa 1200-1500 AD. The object has been cut from a copper alloy sheet. In plan, the object has a trefoil terminus leading to a rectangular lug with a broken end. The object has an irregualar section. Within the trefoil terminus survives 4 evenly spaced circular perforations which have been punched. The holes have an internal diameter of approximately 7.1mm. The position of the perforations and the lack of wear suggest they are only decorative. The sides of the object begin to taper away from the terminus and e…

A cast copper alloy unidentified object. The date of the object is uncertain but it is probably Post-Medieval to Modern. The object is distorted and there is a break on one side but the damage is not new. Originally, the object would have been a flat frame creating a sub-rectangular aperture approximately 12mm x 60mm. Although the frame is quite narrow it has a protruding knop to one side. Originally, the object would have had a maximum length and width of approximately 92mm x 27mm. The object is now bent and twisted out of shape, resulting in the frame no longer being on a single pla…

An incomplete cast copper alloy vessel lid or stopper from a tobacco jar dating from the late Medieval to early Post Medieval period, circa AD1600-1850. In plan, the top of the lid had a flower head design with a central knop surrounded by 8 petals. The lid is damaged and it is likely that there were originally 9 petals. The petals are defined by a shallow groove and the end of each petal is slightly rounded. The edge of the flower lid was probably originally sub-lozenge shape in form. The reverse of the lid is plain and is now contorted although it was probably originally flat. At th…

A cast copper alloy thimble of late Post Medieval date, circa 1650 - 1800AD. At first glance this would appear to be an open topped thimble. However, the uneven top edge of the thimble suggests that this is a closed thimble with the top missing due to old damage. The base rim is ragged and misshaped. The base is slightly squashed and is sub-oval in plan view. The sides of the thimble taper towards the top. The top edge of the thimble is cracked and squashed to one side, making it D-shaped in plan view. The maximum diameter of the top of the thimble is 16.97mm. The surface of the thimb…
