Cast copper alloy fragment from a locking buckle of probable later medieval or early post medieval date (1450-1600). The fragment consists of a small sub-rectangular bar with a clear deliberate bend. One edge is broken; this damage is unpatinated and relatively recent. The other end terminates in a sub oval shaped knop, which is decorated with diagonal cast grooves. The bar itself is an irregular hexagonal shape in cross-section (with distinct faceted edges). The fragment is a mid green colour with a polished patina which coves all surfaces. In form and shape the bar is similar to thos…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy coin of unknown date. The coin has been deliberately cut into two parts with a pair of heavy duty pliers (or similar) probably in antiquity as the two parts have similar corrosion on them. Thee detail of the coin is lost and it is most likely to be post medieval (post 1650 in date). No comparisons have been found

There is also a large amount of mica in the fabric. The fabric colour is a uniform light orange colour.
