Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Annular copper alloy bracelet, rather bent out of shape. It measures 75.6x56.9mm and weighs 23.40g. Originally it would have been c.75.6mm in diameter (internal 66.4mm). The bracelet in circular in section and is rather thinner on one side than the other (3.3mm diameter to 5mm diameter). Possibly this is through wear. The bracelet is rather crude in construstion - part of the bracelet has an edge and a faceted appearance. Beneath brown corrosion is a dark green patina. Perhaps this is not a bracelet at all but a suspension ring, which would explain the wear. However it may also b…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An undatable (but possibly Late Iron Age/ Roman) copper alloy ring, measuring 19-21mm in diameter (internal 12-14mm) and weighing 3.4g. The ring is circular in cross-section and the surface is very pitted. Rings like these are mult-purpose, perhaops for harness or for hanging keys or a belt on. The look of the metal, coupled with other finds from close by, suggest it may date to the Late Iron Age or Roman period.

An incomplete, copper alloy unidentified object, possibly Late Iron Age or Roman in date given the blue-green patination of the metal. The object comprises two linked pieces of flat wire, c.3mm wide and between 1.77 and 1.87mm thick, both of similar length (23.76 and 22.51mm, bent. Unbent, c.43mm and c.46mm).

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of copper alloy openwork unidentified object, of uncertain date (but probably Roman to Post-Medieval, AD 43-1800). It is curving in profile and measures 28.41x14.25x5.44mm. It weighs 5.6g. One edge consists of a rib, D-shaped in section and being flat to the inside of the curve, to the side of which extends three cross-shaped extensions. One of these has broken and only a stub survives. At the centre of the other two is a lozenge. Breaks beyond these as well as breaks at either end of the D-sectioned rod, suggest this is only a small fragment of a larger object. However t…

The patina is smooth, shiny and dark brown in colour, in particular on the inside surface, suggesting it has rubbed against a leather strap.. Rings like these are numerous and would have been multi-purpose, eg.for hanging keys from a belt etc.
