An unidentified object which is a possible fragment from a lead vessel or pot of uncertain date. The fragment is irregular but broadly triangulat in shape and sub oval in plan. One surface is convex and the other slightly convex. It is slightly thicker at one end, with old and worn breaks on the non "rim" sides. The rim itself is thicker than the rest of the fragment suggesting that it comes from a curved vessel. The outer surface has a coarse surface with a grey coloration with occasional brown and lighter grey patches across the…

An incomplete, copper alloy object, possibly casting waste of unknown date (c. 2400 BC - AD 1900). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and sub-rectangular in cross section. On one side, there is a raised, triangular section that is 6.41mm thick, after which the thickness drops to 3.78mm. The object then gradually expands in thickness until it is 6.52mm thick on the other side. In the centre, there are two main oblique, transverse grooves that run across the width of the object, with two sub-triangular indentations between them on the right-hand side. The reverse is largely flat, exc…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast, lead probable weight of unknown date.  The object is circular in plan, the upper surface is slightly convex, the reverse side is flat and it is D-shaped in cross section. There is pitting and scratches on the upper surface.  The object has a mid-grey patina. The diameter of the weight is 73.26mm, it is 16.01mm thick and it weighs 456 grams (1lb). Lead weights are difficult to date and the weight could date because they are found in contexts from the Roman to Post-Medieval period.

Unidentified copper alloy object of unknown date.  The artefact comprises a sub-rectangular solid copper-alloy strip with tapering sides and curved ends. Both faces are undecorated. The artefact has a sub-rectangular cross section. It has a brown patina with patches of green copper corrosion and significant surface pitting. The overall shape and form resembles an Early Medieval strap end, but the artefact lacks a bifurcated end or another method of attachment, like rivets or suspension loops.
