Two (2) conjoined sheets of heavily leaded copper-alloy of uncertain date. The fragments are irregularly shaped with worn breaks to all edges. No identifying features are present. The metal has a mid-green patina with shiny grey patches and is in fair condition. The object is 54.1mm long, 41mm wide, 9.6mm thick and weighs 63.8g. Due to a lack of diagnostic features it is not possible to identify these fragments with confidence. It was found in the same area as a number of fragments of a statue of Roman date though is thinner in section that any currently known pieces of this object.…

A complete copper-alloy ingot of uncertain date. The object is sub-rectangular with a D-shaped section, rounded corners and ends. Often referred to as ‘finger’ shaped. The object is fairly regular in form, suggesting it was cast, and no signs of hammering are present. The metal has a dark green/brown patina and is worn. The object is 54.7mm long, 15.4mm wide, 12.2mm thick and weighs 44.6g. Ingots of this general form in precious metals have been found associated with Early-Medieval hoards such as 2010 T373 (YORYM-CEE620) from Bedale, North Yorkshire. These however g…

Two (2) copper-alloy fragments of casting waste of uncertain date. The pieces are irregularly shaped globules of solidified molten metal. They are irregular in form and section with no identifying features. Cremation material of Early-Medieval date has also been found in this area. These pieces may represent further additions to this though the lack of identifiable features makes this difficult to ascertain.  1: Weight: 6g; Length: 35mm; Width: 20.1mm; Thickness: 5mm. 2: Weight: 1.4g; Length: 14.8mm; Width: 8.8mm; Thickness: 2.8mm.

A complete glass bead of uncertain date. The bead is circular in plan with a slightly off-central sub-circular perforation. The glass is a semi-translucent dark blue colour. The bead is 10.2mm in diameter, 4.9mm thick and weighs 0.5g. The perforation is 5.2mm in diameter. Glass beads are very difficult to date with any certainty. They are often thought to be Roman in date though blue glass beads were commonly for use in spangles on lace making bobbins in the 19th century. Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any …

A copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date and completeness. The object is a single strip of circular-sectioned copper-alloy which has been bent to created a loop. One end terminates after forming the loop and the other projects away from the loop before terminating. Both terminals are worn so it is not possible to determines if these are breaks or not. The metal has a mid green patina and is worn. The object is 33.17mm long, 14.75mm wide, 2.54mm thick and weighs 2.77g.

A fragment of a copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date. The fragment is a waisted elongated oval in plan and sub-rectangular in section. The waist in the centre of the fragment produces the appearance of a pair of ovals joined by a narrowed mid-area. One of these ovals terminates with a pair of worn projections, possibly the remains of an integrally cast loop. The other terminates with a circular sectioned projection with a worn break. The surface of the fragment is very worn, therefore any potential decoration is obscured or lost. The fragment has a worn dark-green …
