A complete Late Iron Age to Early Roman period copper alloy skirted terret, dating to c 50BC - AD 200. It is made up of a stout oval cross section ring, now a little distorted, integral to a collar and short neck with a flange below - the skirt -  which flares outwards and down, partly covering an oval loop on the underside. The upper ring shows action from the reins, very much thinner on one side, particularly the lower quarter, than the other. The lower loop may have been forged separately in manufacture and also shows wear, presumably from its attachment to the yoke. …

A complete but bent Medieval copper alloy finger ring, probably dating to c. AD 1200 - 1450. The find has a sub circular bezel in which there is an irregular, sub oval, slightly purple coloured setting- possibly a gem, which stands proud of the bezel. There is a faint legend around the outside, which is rather illegible but appears to read, (+) (N/Z)_A_ENO(R/N) or +D(N/Z)_A_ENO(R/N)C. This may be a nonsensical legend and was only discernible when the find was damp, when initially found. The bezel itself sits proud of the hoop, but is integral with it.…

A fragment of a Medieval copper alloy vessel foot from a cooking or serving pot, dating perhaps to c AD 1250 - 1500. What is extant is the flat trapezoidal base of the foot and a very short section of the leg, above which is an early break.
