Copper alloy hilt guard probably of first century AD date. It is a plain example of Piggott (1950) Group IVB (crown) hilt, with a groove round its middle providing the only surface decoration. The closest parallels are an example from Newstead (Curle 1911, pl.XXXIV.10; MacGregor 1976, no.152) and a piece of unknown provenance in Perth Museum (MacGregor 1976, no.159). Although at 82mm long it is rather larger than most published examples, which in general do not exceed 60mm in length. There is, however, a piece of similar shape and size from Waddon Hill, Dorset, published as ‘the top …

Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: the Vale of Glamorgan
Workflow stage: Published
The object comprises the hilt and upper blade of an iron sword (overall length 235mm). The surviving blade length below the lower guard is 109mm; the blade is straight and two-edged, with a width of 52mm at top, tapering to 47mm at the break. To judge from the other blades (80-95cm long: Evison 1967, 189, Appendix), about 75% of its original length is missing. The blade profile cannot, therefore, help determine the form and date, which is reliant on the guard and pommel. The pommel is constructed in two sections, the upper pommel cap being of broad flat, trilobate form. It is fa…
