Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
Workflow stage: Published
Flat, figurative copper alloy mount with two integral rivets. The mount is asymmetrical and incorporates a tripartite motif, a central circular boss and an incomplete, slightly raised, possibly tripartite motif. The rivets are broken. Corrosion prevents the identification of any embellishing decoration on the mount. Although heavily corroded the surface of the mount has a tinned or silvered appearance. Length (minimum) 33mm, width 15mm.

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Newport
Workflow stage: Published
Blade end fragment of a Late Bronze Age socketed axe. The absence of the socket and loop end precludes a precise ascription to type; however, the presence of three parallel ribs on both faces of the axe suggests that it is either of South Wales/Stogursey Type (Needham 1981) or of related hybrid type. The axe fragment is misshapen, apparently through impact with a blunted object in antiquity. Both faces have been struck, leading to marked denting at the upper end of the fragment. The artefact has a light green patina and a well worn surface, possibly representing damage through long…

Flat bow of small curvature expanding towards the missing foot. The bow is decorated with fluted reeding, which runs along its entire length and terminates at the moulded transverse rib located at the bow’s junction with the spring-cover. The catch plate is deformed and partly missing but contained a single perforation of indeterminate shape. The cylindrical spring-cover is open along a slit on the back of the brooch and at either end. Only two incomplete fragments of the brooch survive. The bow has been bent through ninety degrees, although it is uncertain whether this occurred…

Object type: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Newport
Workflow stage: Published
Small plain socketed axe, which is faceted, has six faces, and exhibits a hexagonal cross section mid way down the blade. A high placed loop extends from the underside of a flattened collar, which is 7mm in width. The axe has an ovoid to circular shaped socket mouth, which is characteristic of this type of axe. The sides of the axes are concave and divergent, splaying out towards the blade end, but with no marked recurving of the blade edge. One of the axe faces has an uneven surface, probably the result of a slight casting imperfection. A series of striations running parallel wit…

Small and slender South Wales or Stougursey Type socketed axe, which exhibits the characteristic features of the type: namely evidence for a four runner casting technology, a thin and inwards curving mouth moulding, a high placed loop extending from the moulding, and a three rib decorative motif extending from the moulding down the faces of the axe. The four runners on this axe are well filed and the ribs down each face are rather worn. The axe has a sub-rectangular socket and sides which only diverge very slightly at the blade end, the blade being expanded and showing some recurving…

County: Newport
Workflow stage: Published
Long slender socketed axe of 'hybrid' three-rib type, which may be associated generally with the South Wales/Stougursey tradition. This axe is, however different to the latter type in a number of ways. Firstly, it does not display a four runner casting technology, instead, the excess molten bronze has projected above the mould all of the way around the mouth. Secondly, the loop extends from the underside of the mouth moulding, rather than from within it. Finally, the axe has concave rather than straight sides, giving it a slender curved shape. The axe does however have three mould…

Workflow stage: Published
Two fragments of a socketed axe of the 'hybrid' three-rib type, which may be associated with the South Wales/Stougursey tradition. The larger fragment is part of the looped mouth end, while the smaller fragment is undiagnostic and probably from the middle part of the axe. The fragments do not join. The axe differs from the South Wales Type in two visible ways. Firstly, it was not cast using a four runner casting technology; instead, the molten bronze projected above the mould, apparently all around the mouth. Secondly, the loop rises from the underside of the unpronounced moulded …

Long slender socketed axe of South Wales/Stougursey Type. The axe exhibits most of the characteristic features of the type: namely evidence for a four runner casting technology, a high placed loop extending from within the moulding of the mouth of the axe, and a three rib decorative motif extending from the moulding down both faces of the axe. At least three runners are visible and prominent on this axe, and flash marks have been coarsely filed down. The loop is unusually thick and crudely shaped. The axe has a sub-rectangular, but curved, internal socket and external mouth shape. …

Small socketed axe of a 'hybrid' three ribbed type which has affinities with both Facetted Axe and South Wales/Stogursey axe Types. The axe does not have evidence of a four runner casting technology (a diagnostic feature of the South Wales/Stogursey Type), having no runner scars on its mouth. Like the facetted axes, it has a nearly circular internal socket shape, although its external mouth is sub-rectangular in shape. Its size and proportions are similar to those of the Facetted Axe Type, although the axe has no facets. The axe has straight but divergent sides, which also curve ou…
