Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Published
Bronze Age copper alloy spearhead fragment of side-looped type, dating to the Taunton-Penard metalworking phases (c.1400-1100 BC) of the Middle Bronze Age. The spearhead is broken at both ends and would have been short with a flame- or leaf-shaped blade. The circular socket becomes lozenge-shaped as it defines the central rib of the blade. The remnants of both loops are present at the base of the fragment and appear slight with a circular section.

Roman copper alloy bow brooch of unusual design, probably a derivative of a Headstud type and dating to the early 2nd century AD. The brooch employed a spring mechanism secured by lateral lugs at the end of very short wings, which would not have protruded much beyond the head. At the head is the remnant of a flat plate, possibly from a chain loop. The head is comparatively long and has a sub-rectangular section. The only decoration on the head is a short rectangular cast rib and a moulded oval at the junction with the bow, in place of the headstud. The Bow is at a right angle to the he…

Cast and wrought copper alloy open bracelet probably dating to either the Roman period or the late medieval / post-medieval periods (100-450 or 1450-1650 AD). The bracelet is formed from three lengths of oval sectioned copper alloy wire twisted together to form one ‘rope like’ length. The diameter of the individual wires is 2.1mm width x 1.8mm thickness. The two terminals of the bracelet are formed by joining the three ends of the wire together. The terminals are sub-rectangular and taper to rounded points. The bracelet is sub-oval in plan and measures 76.2mm length and 60.4mm widt…

The front of the mount is decorated with sinuous incised patterns, raised pellets, punched decoration and a lobed motif in relief which is unintelligible. There is a lump of copper alloy corrosion on the reverse which may be the remains of the attachment mechanism at one end of the mount; the other end is broken. The mount probably dates from the post-medieval period and may have been a harness decoration.

Cast lead alloy weight with integrally cast loop of probable medieval or post medieval date (1250 – 1700). The weight is broadly sub-rectangular in both plan and cross section. The loop is broken, and what remains of the hole is elliptical probably through wear. Along one edge of the weight a clear seam is present, this does not seem to be part of the casting residue from a mould; instead it seems to have been deliberately cut into the surface of the metal having a distinct U shaped profile.

Both the ends are broken although the breaks are worn and patinated suggesting the damage occurred in antiquity. At each break there is a slight circumferential incised line.

Cast copper alloy strap fitting (belt mount) of probable post-medieval date (1500-1700). The strap fitting is oval in plan with two sub-circular cast knops at either end. The body of the fitting is domed (convex) in profile and D shaped in cross-section; the edges are bevelled. The overall decorative design is that of an acorn with both the nut and cup being depicted. The decoration of the nut consists of vertical incised lines, whilst that on the cup is formed from a series of incised diagonal lines forming cross hatching. Small traces of an applied tinned finish are present on the f…

A Post Medieval cast copper alloy dress hook, also known as a dress clasp or clothes fastener of lantern type (1500-1650 AD). The dress hook is made of a single piece of cast copper alloy. The reverse plate of dress hook is missing. The body of the dress hook is an elongated trapezoid in plan. In section the body is semi-circular with slide flanges. The outer face of the dress hook body has a moulded lattice / criss-cross design. There is no evidence of an applied surface / tinning, however much of the outer surface is lost through abrasion. The reverse of the body is concave with an …

The presence of cortex suggests that the core is relatively new as this is usually removed in the first phases of working. The striking platform for the blade is lost suggesting that this is from the bottom section of a much longer blade. The upper / dorsal face exhibits several long facets / blade sh…

Lead alloy terminal consisting of three rounded rings in a row, increasing in diameter from a rounded point. Between the first two rings is a flat band. On the base is the scar of a shaft. In profile the artifact is slightly oval. Length 26.0mm, Width 12.8mm, Weight 13.4g Peter Reavill FLO: The top of this artefact is possibly an acorn knop and the scar at teh base is wide enough to match a stem of a post medieval lead alloy (pewter) spoon. The artefact is erroded and the surface patina unsound: this identification is very tentative.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible, incomplete cast lead alloy (pewter?), disc brooch of Weetch type 5 and early medieval date (10th century AD). There is some debate as to whether this is actually part of a brooch or possibly a post medieval lead token; due to significant areas of damage it is impossible to be certain of the identification. However, it is the recorders assessment that the diagnostic elements of design and potential fittings on the reverse suggest that this is a brooch. If the artefact is a brooch it would have originally been circular, however due to abrasion and plough damage, it is now…
