Copper alloy wire. Two strands of thick [diameter 2.2mm] drawn wire, arranged to lie parallel to each other, with one strand tightly twisted around the other in four tight loops, and then hammered flat on one side. The protruding ends are flattened at one end, probably deliberately rather than as the result of snipping.

Copper alloy wire. Two strands of drawn copper alloy wire of diameter 2mm; on strand being wrapped tightly around the other, cut at one or both ends. This may simply be a sport involving two pieces of scrap, though the configuration might also be apt to a simple electrical function. The diameter of the wire appears to respect the metric system, it may therefore be of recent date. Suggested date: Modern, 1900-1950 Length: 41.6mm, Diameter (as found): 6.9mm, Weight: 6.45gms

A copper alloy fragment of a coiled wire of possible Roman date (AD 320 - 450). The object is composed of one strand tightly coiled around itself looped back as a central strand. The individual strand has a circular cross section of 1.34 mm diameter. The fragment has two links present, connected by two (non-detachable) loops of copper-alloy wire. One loop is small and circular, the other larger, elongated and drop-shaped. The breaks at the end of each link are old and worn. There are some similarities to the wire in Crummy, 39, 1610. Length: 45.93 mm. Thickness: 5.05 mm. Weight 2.4 g

Copper alloy wire. A length of drawn wire with angled sheared ends. The finder kindly suggests this to be a post-medieval clasp, citing Read 2008 page 142 nos 557-558, though this reporter would rather see it as, at best, an improvised version rather than one of these more neatly 'knotted' forms. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1800 Length: 27.5mm, Width: 23.5mm, Thickness/Diameter of wire: 1.6mm, Weight: 3.25gms
