Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead weight of uncertain date (c. AD 43 - 1800). The weight is broadly lentoid in shape, bulging at the middle and narrowing at each end. It has a rough, pitted surface with a white patina. It is 34.63mm in length and 14.09mm in width. It weighs 29.79g. This type of lead weight was crudely made and had multiple functions, including as fishing weights. Similar objects are known from the Roman to the post-medieval period and it is therefore not possible to assign a more precise range to this example

County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Broken copper-alloy pin of early medieval date (c. AD 700 - 900). Only the pinhead remains: this is polyhedral and slightly flattened in form with a collar at the neck, which terminates in a worn break. From the collar it appears that the shaft of the pin was circular in section. The two wide faces of the pin head are decorated: one side has a celtic knot in relief, the other a motif similar in form to a capital seriffed I with downturned ends, also in relief. Intriguingly, there seems to have been some attempt to drill into the three other faces, leaving a circular depression of irre…

County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper-alloy pendant in the form of a winged erect phallus of uncertain date (c. AD 43 - 1800). The shaft of the phallus curves slightly upwards and widens from a pair of wings above a pair of testicles. There is a suspension loop between the wings, which is pierced slightly off-centre. The object is detailed in its design: transverse grooves on the front of the wings give the impression of feathers and a pair of parallel grooves run along the bottom of the shaft, the head of which is picked out by curved parallel grooves across the top and sides. The object has a worn and chipped sur…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper-alloy horse harness pendant of medieval date (c. AD 1300 - 1400). The pendant is shield-shaped, with a circular suspension loop positioned centrally along the top edge. The front of the pendant has a heraldic design in relief: the shield is separated into three horizontal bands, the upper and lower of which are hachured, while the middle band contains three quatrefoils in a row. It is possible that the object was once enamelled, although no trace remains of this. However, interpolation from a similar pendant (Francois Xavier-Bon) allows us to suggest that it may be blazoned: Gul…

Object type: STRAP END

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper-alloy strap end of early medieval date (c. AD 750 - 900). The strap end is broadly rectangular, tapering at the bottom into a zoomorphic terminal. The animalistic quality of the terminal is formed by a raised section on the front face which is dissected by triangular notches and grooves to give the impression of eyes and a snout. The other end of the strap end is split for attachment and pierced centrally by a single copper-alloy rivet. The space between the two sheets possibly retains leather or textile. The edges of the attachment end are slightly fragmentary. The body of the…

Hoard of up to twenty-three silver denarii, dating from the reign of Vespasian to Marcus Aurelius.
