Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
Silver bezel of a finger ring containing an orangey-red, cornelian, intaglio. The edge of the bezel is decorated by a line of triangles running round its bottom edge and the back by an engraved floral pattern. The intaglio depicts a winged male figure, probably Cupid, a large bunch of grapes and an animal, probably a hare. The intaglio would appear to be Roman, depicting Cupid, a bunch of grapes and a hare. The same combination can be seen on an intaglio from Bath (Henig 1978, 200 no.113) where cupid is holding a bunch of grapes and a hare is jumping up to reach it. On the present int…

Ten copper halfpence of which seven certainly of William III (1694-1701) and the others probably the same reign. Two are dated 1698 and 1699; remaining dates illegible. All of these coins show a good deal of circulation wear and it is likely that the group was lost or deposited during the middle or later years of the eighteenth century.

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: STRAP END
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
Treasure 2008. Wales : 08.21 The strap-end is in the form of a moulded rod, expanding slightly to form a bifurcated shank. It is broken across the hole for the rivet that would have secured it to the end of a leather strap. Functionally strap-ends existed to reinforce the free ends of leather belts and straps, such as the end of a belt opposite from the buckle, and in some instances to provide some extra weight to help the strap or belt-end hang properly. However, there was also a strong decorative element to them. Similar strap-ends, made of copper alloy, have been found on Roman…

Iron hammer head, with a circular eye (diameter 22mm) set within a slight expansion of the head. The striking face, which is slightly rounded and burred, is rectangular and is balanced by a sub-rectangular cross-pane, which is also slightly burred. Length 116.5mm, maximum width 45mm, maximum thickness 33.5mm, dimensions of striking head 34mm x 34mm, dimensions of cross-pane 28mm x 29mm. The hammer head is uncertain. The form of craftsmen's tools remained constant from the late, pre-Roman Iron Age through to the early twentieth century. Consequently, unless recovered from a demonstrably…

Object type: AXE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of a probable iron axe, with an oval eye set within a notably wide expansion. Half of the eye, the poll and the end of the blade are missing. The front face of the surviving part of the blade is straight, while the rear, although initially straight, begins to curve back, presumably to form a wide cutting edge. Unfortunately, the loss of the front of the blade prevents confirmation of this suggestion. The thickness of the blade narrows towards the missing cutting edge suggesting that, when complete, the blade had a triangular longitudinal section. Surviving length 159mm, maximu…

The lower part of the stem has apparently sheared of c.22mm below the head of the stud. Surviving length 26mm. The date of the stud is uncertain. A comparable example was recovered from a pre-Flavian context a the Roman fortress at Usk (Manng, Price and Webster 1995, 273, no.2, fig.86); although it is possible that the stud could be of relatively recent date.
