Undecorated lengh of gold, now ring shaped but more twisted when first found. Eased into a ring shape by the finder! The marks at each end of the strip do not go right through. Thought to constitute a treasure item but on examination by Neil Wilkin and Gillian Varndell of the British Museum the object was considered to be undateable and so probably not 300 years old.

Fragment of gold. It is undiagnostic, and cannot be attributed to a specific period. Almost identical to WAW-97AC75 and very similar to ESS-043423 which have been assigned as unknown. Shares similarities with CAM-9461A7 also assigned as unknown and CORN-2BAA91 assigned to the Bronze Age on the basis of isotope analysis. Other gold fragments have been assigned as Viking hack gold NARC-88B423. This object could be Viking hack or more likely off a Bronze Age artefact but remains undiagnostic. The length is 16mm, width 11mm, weight 3.37g

TREASURE CASE 2014 T198: A complete gold finger ring of uncertain date. The finger ring is comprised of a plain circular band which is rectangular in section. The finger ring is undecorated and appears crudely made with the band being of varying irregular width along its circumference. Such simple plain rings cannot be readily dated due to a lack of diagnostic features. Dimensions: Dimensions: 17mm diameter external and 15mm internal, the band varies from 3.5-4mm wide and is 0.7-0.8mm thick, weight: 2.5g.

TREASURE CASE : 2014 T96. A complete gold finger ring of uncertain date. The finger ring is comprised of a plain circular band with pointed ovate section. The hoop has been distorted as a result of deposition and a slight compression is present to one side. The finger ring is undecorated and appears crudely made. Date: Uncertain Dimensions: Diameter: 22.2mm; Width: 5.4mm; Thickness: 1.1mm; Weight: 4.6g. Discussion: There is no evidence to securely date this ring, therefore as it is undiagnostic in nature it fall outside the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.

3 fragments of gold bar, flattened by hammering. Lengths 29, 25 and 9mm. 1 fragment of gold chopped from a thin round-sectioned bar, distorted to an 'S' shape, length 29mm. 1 very pitted and eroded gold fragment, length 15mm. 1 fragment of round-sectioned, tapering brass bar, length 30mm. Conclusion: The gold fragments could be ancient but diagnostic features are insufficient to attribute to any chronological or cultural context. Due to the undiagnostic nature of the objects they cannot be securely dated to pre-1713 and as such fall outside the provisions of the Treasure A…

TREASURE CASE : 2013 T587. Small gold-alloy ingot. The ingot is a flattened irregular oval, sub-rectangular in cross-section. It seems likely that it has been hammered to flatten it out, but surface irregularities remain. On one of the flattened surfaces, the metal has been heavily scratched. The pale yellowish colour suggests an alloy of gold and silver. The form of the ingot is not diagnostic to any particular period.

An amorphous glob of molten gold, now in two pieces that survives as evidence of goldworking of an uncertain date. The gold is very pure, with a slightly pitted surface of a solidified fluid. One end of the glob is larger and heavier with a long neck that has broken with a now separate almost fan-shaped terminal. The high purity, pitted surface and solidified fluid form confirms that this gold has been (re)worked rather than being an example of a naturally occurring nugget of gold ore. As the gold is undiagnostic and cannot be proven to be more than 300 years old, the object do…
