Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead spindle-whorl probably of late medieval to post medieval date The spindle-whorl is of rounded biconical form with a diameter of 18.3mm and a height of 10.2mm. The central perforation has a diameter of 8.5mm and the spindle-whorl weighs 13.0g. No decoration is evident on the whorl, although the surface is eroded. The central ridge has a raised knop, which is likely to be the remnants of the casting. Spindle whorls of biconical form can be difficult to date once removed from their archaeological context and remained similar from the Romano-British period to the early post medieva…

Object type: PALSTAVE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete cast copper alloy looped palstave of possible South Western type dating to the Taunton/Penard metalworking phase (c. 1400-1100 BC). The palstave has an incomplete length of 130.3mm and a weight of 394.5g. A transverse break at the butt end of the flanges means that the butt is missing but can be assumed to have been relatively narrow- the width at the break is 23.1mm, tapering slightly from the maximum width at the flanges of 28.1mm (not including the side loop). The sides are slightly convex as far as the high point of the stop and are then straight and slightly fa…

The number of pellets varies- one side has only single (or no) pellets between the ribs, while the other has one, two, or three pellets between each rib. The metal has white patina with patches of grey metallic lead showing through in places.

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete cast copper alloy vessel foot of Roman date. The object is crudely pelta shaped, with a central triangular projection and flanking lobes on one edge, the other being convex. The object is covered by soil, with areas of corrosion disrupting the dark green patinated surface. One end of the object is broken, leading to a reduced length. Pelta shaped vessel feet are well documented, with many examples recorded on the PAS database (e.g. PUBLIC-749A73 and ESS-8C8A14), and excavated from Roman contexts such as in Caerleon (Brewer, 1986, pg. 173). They are believed to have…

Object type: PENANNULAR RING
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
A copper alloy penannular ring or ring core of probable Bronze Age date (c. 1300-800BC). The ring is made from a circular sectioned loop. The original surface is missing, and green and brown copper corrosion products cover the ring. The blue corrosion product is likely azurite. Objects such as this are often termed “ring money” or “hair rings” but are most likely a form of personal adornment worn on the nose or ears. Typically dated to the Ewart Park phase of the Late Bronze Age, it is suggested in NMGW-04216C that they in fact originate in the Middle bronze age and continue …

A complete cast copper alloy strap slide with internal projections of medieval date (c.1150-1400 AD). The object is slightly trapezoidal (17.6mm wide at the inside edge compared to 19.3mm at the outside). The object is undecorated. Two opposed internal projections near the inside edge. The maximum width for a strap through the base would have been 14.3mm. No.1258 (pg 233-234, fig. 149) is a similar example in Egan and Pritchard (2002).

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL

A cast copper alloy and glass finger ring of Medieval date. The Ring has a four clawed setting at the bezel holding a worn white gem, likely made of glass. The bezel is 8.9mm wide, 10.1mm long and 5mm thick. The setting is placed slightly off centre on the bezel, so projects perpendicular to the hoop by around 2mm. The hoop is roughly plano-convex in section and of uneven width, partially due to damage. The widest part of the hoop is to one side of the bezel (7.3mm), and the thickness is variable and uneven, being c. 1.6mm at the sides of the hoop and 2mm at the back. The internal dia…
