Copper alloy pin. A probably cast pin with an oval and perhaps misshapen or part-melted head, and a shank distinguished by five well-defined longitudinal flutes, which converge on a sharply pointed end. The prominent fluting may be decorative, but it would also facilitate the use of the object as a piercing tool for fine handicraft work in leather. A Roman date is possible in the light of accompanying finds. The surface is black and shiny overall, which is sometimes a feature of silver or plated objects, though a spot of yellow metal next to an abraded patch suggests the object to be …

Lead alloy pilgrim badge.

Lead unidentified object. A cast ball with deep curvilinear grooves wandering across its surface, and with a possibly drilled blind aperture of diameter 4mm sited between these grooves. The hollow was presumably where this object was attached to another. The metal retains a grey tint, suggesting a relatively recent date. The form resembles that of a massy head from a hair or hat pin, but the shallow socket would not assure its secure attachment.
