Unidentified object fragment. Brown copper alloy with gilding. The illustrator's database index describes this as 'Fragment of a harness mount with traces of gilding, ending in an animals head'. To this reporter [MF] the illustration - though not the dimensions - resembles the head plate of a small long brooch, especilly when compared with other illustrations of these in the same style. The record card offers another identification: as a strap end. Suggested date: Unknown, Early Medieval to Medieval, 500-1500 Length: 25.5mm, Width: 16.9mm, Thickness: 0.6mm, Weight: 3.37gms

A discoid, lead alloy artefact, probably a weight, probably dating from the Medieval to Post Medieval periods, about AD 1250-1900. Both faces are flat, one with a small central depression, the other with a worn raised line, which was possible once part of a marking. There is some wear and damage.  The sides are also undecorated and are slightly rounded.  It has a mid-grey patina and is 25.6mm in diameter and 6.6mm thick. It has a mass of 30.06g.
