Two fragments of Pewter or copper alloy- one possible vessel rim. Little diagnostic but maybe a medieval or post medieval vessel.
A fragment 46.4mm long, 19.8mmwide and a maximum of 1.5mm thick, weighs 5.07g. The fragment has a channel beaten in lengthways with flanking ridges. One long edge is thinner that the other- 0.9mm vs 1.3mm. Possible vessel rim, but every edge is a break, and no other diagnostic features. Form of the sheet gives little indication as to shape due to distortion.
A fragment 33mm long, 19.1mm wide, maximum 2.7mm thick, weighs 6.42g. Every edge is a b…

A leg fragment from a large cast copper alloy vessel, probably a cauldron, posnet or skillet likely of 16th century date, but potentially of late Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. 1300-1700 AD). The fragment is incomplete, with the end of the leg missing and the upper portion ending in a break where it joined the body of the vessel.
The leg has a surviving length of 93.6mm, width of 60.3mm, and thickness of 28mm, and weighs 293.6g. The surviving portion of leg has a sub-rectangular section excepting the robust 12.3mm wide midrib running down the centre of the flat front face. …

An incomplete cast copper alloy vessel handle of probable Late Iron Age or Roman date (1st century BC-1st century AD). The head is flat and sub-oval (14.3mm x 15.3mm, 2.5mm thick) with a sub-oval perforation (7mm x 5.8mm). The shaft is 7.0mm wide and 2.5mm thick at the bottom of the head and gradually extends to the break where it reaches a width of 11.9mm and 3.7mm thick. The shaft is bent 15.7mm down from the head giving the object an overall distorted length of 62.5mm. Some filing marks are visible on the reverse. The object is a medium green patina with patches of bright green bron…

Copper alloy escutcheon or pendant probably of medieval date
The delicate fitting appears to be near-complete (with a length of 24.6mm and a weight of 1.0g) and was suspended by an integral loop (8.4mm long, 2.9mm wide and 4.2mm deep), which has been coiled inwards to form the loop and projects to the front. The mount is shield-shaped (16.7mm long, 10.0mm wide and 1.2mm thick), now truncated at the base. At the centre of the mount is a circular perforation (3.0mm diameter) probably for attachment. The face is faceted where the loop enters the mount and the upper part of the mount h…

A fragmentary cast copper alloy fragment, possibly of Late Medieval date (c.15th-16th century AD). The fragment is a piece of a rim from a large cauldron measuring 11.6mm long x 7.9mm wide x 27.4mm-25.4mm thick. The rim has a very slightly expanded lip on the inside surface before tapering slightly to the edge and the outer surface is flat with no traces of decoration surviving. Two rivets hold a sheet of copper alloy in place (surviving length 27.1mm, max surviving width 15.6mm) likely repairing a crack on the inside surface of the cauldron. These types of rivets are common in Medieva…

A fragmentary Post Medieval ceramic sherd from a vessel base, probably a handled cup/mug (‘tyg’) or jar, of 17th century AD date. The fragment is black glazed red ‘Cistercian’ ware with a surviving height of 21.0mm and width of 33.7mm. A sharp fragment is adhered to the inside surface of the base indicating an explosion in the kiln or misfire likely damaged this vessel beyond repair.
The fragment has a smooth black glaze with a reddish fabric and weighs 8.85g. A similar fragment can be seen Gloucester pottery fabric type series (potsherd.net)

Carefully constructed cast copper alloy decorative vessel escutcheon or mount in the form of a boar. The boar has its front legs extending forward beneath its mouth forming a V-shape, the mouth is open and contains a small circular hole. The snout end has signs of wear and is perforated through the side before a moulded tusk, possibly to house a ring attached to a handle. The hole in the mouth and the perforation through the snout do not meet. The eyes are incised and lentoid in form. The crest is erect and carries incised and possibly punched decoration to depict the hair. The crest a…

Copper alloy looped swivel of uncertain date, possibly Roman
The fitting comprises two parts (with an overall length of 42.0mm and a weight of 20.2g), a looped peg inside a double-hooked frame with socket. The loop is circular (with a diameter of 19.2mm and an internal diameter of 12.4mm) and is of eroded sub-square section. Beneath the loop is a tapering plug, seemingly cast within a circular socket and is held by two strips, which engage with grooves in the plug. Each side of the socket has an integral hook (with a width of 39.3mm and a depth of 21.1mm). There is a decorative groove…

Sheet copper alloy strip, broken or cut along three of its sides, with one of the ends being bent prior to breaking. The outer complete edge exhibits a slight curvature and suggests the strip may have been curved. The piece is crudely decorated with a series of linear chisel marks forming two lines running along the strip. There is a further more continuous linear depression running along the broken or cut side.

Copper alloy decorative terminal, possibly from a pin of Roman date
The object is fragmentary, represented by the damaged terminal; a shaft fragment (with a surviving length of 33.4mm and a weight of 3.4g). The top of the terminal was conical (with a basal diameter of 7.0mm) and is heavily corroded, with a differential corrosion, beneath which the terminal is of faceted-globular form before a moulding above the top of the shaft. The shaft is circular sectioned and gradually widens (from a diameter of 2.8mm to 5.0mm) before narrowing slightly towards the break. The surface has a d…

The terminal is in the form of a human head and has broken across the neck (with a surviving length of 18.6mm, a maximum width of 8.6mm, a maximum thickness of 10.4mm and a weight of 7.5g). The terminal is heavily-corroded and the corrosion has removed much of the detail, there are depressions depicting the eyes and a central ridge is evident indicating the position of the nose. Another depression surviving on one side only is likely to depict a ear. The surviving form and style would indicate a comparatively naturalistic de…

Copper alloy object, possibly a surgical implement of Roman date
The object is fragmentary, broken or cut on one end and is slightly distorted (with a distorted length of 118.6mm and a weight of 2.4g). Approximately half of the abject is circular-sectioned (1.6mm diameter) and the other half is flattened with a subtle midrib on one face and flat on the opposite face (with a width of 2.7mm and a thickness of 1.2mm). The midrib ends before the break, where the object is slightly thicker (at 1.9mm) possibly because of cutting with a pliers or similar tool. The surface has been strip…

A fragmentary copper alloy object of unknown function, purpose, and date, although a Roman origin is suspected. The object is made from a single piece of copper alloy, sub rectangular in plan with convex sides and squared off ends, one tapering. In profile the object has curving, flattened S-shaped profile and is much thicker (c. 6mm) at one end than the other (c.2.3mm).
