A medieval copper alloy harness pendant with an offset suspension loop. The pendant is a Type 5 with open work, with a cross which has bifurcated ends. The pendant has a complete and offset suspension loop. The open work of the cross is not adjacent to the suspension loop. The pendant appears to be plain and not gilded or tinned. Nick Griffiths (1986) comments that poorer quality manufacturing of pendants (including heraldic types) suggests that they were not made for dispay on horses for the nobility. It is more likely they were used by trappings, for the horses of retainers, bail…

An incomplete cast copper alloy D shaped single loop buckle dating to the period AD c.1250-AD c.1450 The frame of the buckle does not taper, and stays the same width and thickness. The pin does move freely 180 degrees from the buckle and its attachment. The entire buckle remains undecorated, but the frame uniquely dips itself inwards at the back and then protruded outwards to create the pin bar. Only a fragment of the pin survives, but it is evident that in order to stay intact, the material was wrapped around the back bar. Despite this, the pin does freely move across the bar, and…

A fragment of a medieval coarse ware tile, dating to the period AD 1250 - AD 1300 The fragments manufactured with an evident grog temperate with very little inclusions. The fragment has oxidised well as the dominant colour is orange, but there is also a visible reduced dark grey core. The design of the tile is inlaid, and it can be suggested that this was most likely achieved when the clay was in a plastic state. The design is the lower part of a breed of bird. The lower part of the birds body is visible, and there are two legs, one of which is higher than the other, mostly like…
