'Cogwheel' brooch, basically circular in outline with a zigzag edge comprising 18 V-shaped projections. Within the zigzag edge there is a grooved border, and then there are four roughly D-shaped perforations forming a cross shape.

Middle or late Anglo-Saxon strap-end made of very dark brown copper alloy. The back half of the split end is broken off and the 2 original rivets at the end have been joined by a third inserted through the fan-shaped motif, probably an attempt at repair. The end is shaped and the fan motif is a simple fan-shaped groove. The rivets are all either iron or the same brown copper alloy; only their heads survive. Between the rivets and the animal-head terminal, the sides of the strap-end are scalloped - 4 on each side - with a bold curved groove in each one. Between is a rectangular panel o…

Possibly part of a chatelaine. A circular-section copper-alloy rod 3 mm in diameter, with each end flattened and pierced. The centre is also flattened and pierced. Although the rod is now bent out of shape, it appears that there was an original sharp bend down to each flattened pierced part. One half is now bent round in a circle, and the other half is straightened out. If the rod is turned on its side (looking at the flat parts in section) decoration can be seen, consisting of a transverse groove with three oblique grooves to either side. This motif occurs three times, twice …
