Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A heavily worn and incomplete Bronze Age palstave axe head. Extensive surface loss has occurred along the edges and surfaces of the find, giving the axe and thin irregular form. The butt end is sub-square, and is slightly more truncated to one side. From the butt, the sides flare slightly. The side flanges are missing; however, the stop ridge is still prominently visible, especially on one side. From the stop ridge, the blade tapers slightly (due to surface loss) before flaring marginally to the cutting edge which is heavily truncated and rounded. A partial rib is visible on one face…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN

A copper alloy finger ring. The ring has an oval hoop which is roughly oval in cross section with a convex outer surface and a convex, although slightly flatter inner surface. The hoop is truncated. The bezel is sub-oval in shape and appears flat with no evidence for a lip (if it had a lip, this would have held the gemstone). It’s possible this ring did have a lip, but it has been lost due to wear.   While it can’t be proven to be Roman, given the distribution of Roman finds within the area, coupled with similarities to other rings recorded on the PAS databa…

Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Isle of Anglesey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A silver finger ring. The ring is sub-oval, slightly squashed in form, and formed from a single thin sheet of silver. The ring has decoration in the form of two thin incisions along part of its face. There is no hallmark, and the rest of the ring is plain. The ring is difficult to date and while there have been a number of Roman finds within the vicinity, the ring does not appear to be of obvious Roman form. The ring could be much later, possibly medieval, post medieval or modern.

A tapering bow brooch of Roman date. The brooch has a sub-rectangular truncated head and two opposing wings.

Broad period: UNKNOWN

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead weight. The weight is circular in form and engraved with ‘IIII’ on one face. The reverse has a single linear line running across the face but is otherwise plain. It has been suggested that leads weights incised with a form of number may represent the weight of the weight in ounces. If this example was meant to be four ounces, it is underweight at 3.6 ounces. Illegal lead weights are notoriously difficult to date as they bear no official mark.

Object type: KEY (LOCKING)
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy rotary key. The key consists of a triangular bow, an oval in section solid stem, and a sub-rectangular bit with multiple wards and clefts projecting.  An incised X is visible on the stem as it tapers outwards at the bow. No direct comparable examples could be found. The key is too big to be identified as a casket key, and could therefore be suggested to have been a door key. While the key doesn’t fit stylistically with any compared examples, it can be suggested to be of late medieval to post medieval date.
