A post medieval (AD 1540-1900) ceramic cone-shaped stoneware object which looks similar in shape to tegula mammata from a Roman cavity wall. It has been suggested that this may be the stopper for an acid bottle. The object has some slight damage to the sides of the base. It is generally conical in shape but towards the tip the profile is slightly flatter and it terminates in a blunt point. It is beige stone in colour with a brown glaze. The glaze is uneven, it is not clear whether this is from wear or the effects of the soil where it was found. One half of the object has a darke…

An unidentified copper alloy object, possibly medieval or post medieval dating to c AD 1400-1800. The object is incomplete. The object comprises a long sub triangular point which is uneven along the long edge suggesting that it is incomplete. Along the other long edge, the object turns at right angles and there is an irregular half moon shape which narrows towards the point. On the outside of the half moon shape is a rough raised rib. It may be that the object is part of another object and has been reused as a nail or cleat. The patina is mid green with small patches of light …

A copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date but probably post medieval dating to c AD 1540-1900. The object is incomplete. It appears that it originally comprised three legs with slightly raised projections which may have been part of the decoration. The legs are incomplete. The three legs meet at the top with a rounded knop. Between the three legs are the remnants of three hooks (only one is still attached, another has broken off and was found with the object and a third which is missing). Above the legs and the hooks but still below the knop are four flat strips of copper a…
