Incomplete cast copper alloy fragment of unknown function and date. The fragment seems to be a looped terminal off set at 90 degrees on a sub-rectangular bar. The bar is broken near the terminal and the break is relatively recent and unpatinated. The rectangular bar is faceted being broadly D shaped in cross section. The looped terminal has a cast and slightly recessed hole through it; this is oval in shape and does not seem to be worn. No parallel of any form or date has yet been found. On the balance of probabilities the fragment is more likely to be Roman than any other date howeve…

Cast copper alloy fragment of unknown function or date. The fragment is broadly square in plan with an irregular cast triangular shaped hole through the centre. From the upper edge a sub-rectangular shaped shank extends which is broken and badly abraded. The fragment is a mid green colour with a polished but badly abraded patina. No direct parallel for this artefact has been found. It is possible that it may be the looped terminal from a medieval padlock key but the slight nature of this artefact might preclude this. The artefact measures 12.8mm length, is 12.1mm width and 2.3mm…

Cast copper alloy fragment of an unknown object. It is broadly foot (L) shaped but may well be a fragment of a large thick buckle. Due to the fragmentary nature of the find, it is difficult to date. A parallel has not been found. It is a mid green colour with a heavy polished patina. Other finds in the area would suggest a Roman date. The fragment measures 25.3mm length, 22.9mm width, is 8.0mm thick and weighs 12.9 grams.
