Record ID: NMS-3F5D28
Object type: PADLOCK
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of early-medieval or medieval iron padlock case with brazed copper-alloy coating on the exterior. The fragment is small (28 x 24mm) and flat so it is difficult to work out which part of the padlock it comes from. Across one end of the fragment is a broad low ridge of copper alloy, possibly a reinforcement around one end. There is a second similar ridge running at an angle to this. These padlocks appear to date from the late 10th century to at least the mid 13th century. Maximum thickness 4mm, weight 5.76g.

Record ID: NMS-C77FEB
Object type: PADLOCK
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Circular end-plate from an iron padlock case with no obvious coating of copper alloy. It is the end-plate from the bolt, 36mm in diameter and 5-6mm thick. Two spines are fixed through this end-plate, each about 6mm square, close to one edge of the end-plate. These protrude about 7mm from one face and are visible as bumps on the other. The total length of the longest spine is 13.5mm. It weighs 28.77g.
These padlocks appear to date from c. 950-c. 1250 AD.

Record ID: SF8839
Object type: PADLOCK
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of curved sheet, made from corroded iron interleaved with copper alloy. On the outside of the sheet are two copper-alloy bands running around the curve, one 4 mm wide and one tapering from 7 mm to 5 mm wide. The proportions and degree of curvature are right for this to be part of the case of an iron padlock which has been brazed together and coated with copper-alloy. The copper-alloy strips are unusual, but may be for reinforcing or purely decorative. Iron and copper-alloy padlocks date to the medieval period.

Record ID: SF7243
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Iron arrowhead. Although it was probably originally socketed, the socket is now missing leaving only a relatively long solid tapering cylindrical neck below the blade. This neck is 10 mm in diameter at its lowest surviving point. The blade has straight sides and may originally have had small barbs as the lower corners are also incomplete. The blade is a pointed oval in cross-section, 5.5 mm thick at most, and is a maximum of 14 mm wide. The total surviving length is 45 mm; the blade makes up 28 mm of this.

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Iron and copper alloy object, probably a copper-alloy mend from an iron vessel. The copper alloy forms a sheath, wrapping right around two faces of the rectangular-section iron fragment and coming a little way down a third (wide) face. At first sight it looks like a rim mend (cf. Egan 1998 fig. 135) but the wider faces are not curved along their length - instead, the complete shorter face is curved. It seems therefore more likely to be the flat handle of an iron skillet which has been largely encased (all apart from perhaps the bottom face) in copper alloy, and with one long side no…
