Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This small ring is formed of a simple plaited band. It is likely to be post-medieval in date, but in the absence of any parallels in the British Museum, there is no evidence to confirm that it is more than 300 years old. Consequently, as the ring cannot be securely dated to pre-1706 it falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.

Fragment of gold bar. Probable Viking hack gold. A gold bar, 9mm thick, 12mm long and 4.5mm wide has been broken from a larger object or bar at both ends. There is no decoration or stamping visible. Gareth Williams has stated that: "(The Vikings had) what is known as a bullion economy, in which the weight and the purity of the precious metal are what is important, not what form the metal takes. Far and away the most common metal in the economy was silver, although gold was also used".

A very worn and damaged medieval gold quarter noble of Edward III. Most of the coin is illegible, but the letter E at the beginning of the obverse legend allows the ruler to be identified as Edward III. As it is so damaged, it has not been possible to date the coin more closely than to the broad dates of Edward's reign, from 1327 to 1377.
