Described from photographs. Elaborate cast looped handle attachment for a vessel: a female bust in high relief with centre-parted hairstyle with grooves and / or ribs indicating the hair, and simple facial features consisting of oval eyes (possibly with pellets), raised nose, and a single groove forming the smiling mouth. A collar or ruff with a zig-zag line runs under the chin and meets the hair on either side. Above the head is a loop for the handle, and to either side a convex, pointed projection. Below the collar is a large flange formed from 9 foils separated by grooves. The f…

Fragment, of Roman lead vessel, perhaps a font. Now sub-rectangular, with two intersecting moulded cabled ribs and an area of roughly crosshatched scratched lines and small patches of iron corrosion on one face. The inner face is plain. There is no original edge, and although three sides have been fairly neatly cut, one is irregular with multiple cut and hack marks. For similar vessels see LIN-E8F806, WMID-7FF438. Surviving dimensions 150 x 95mm. Thickness7mm.

Probably Roman, fragment of unidentified object: >1mm thick, probably cast plate, broken at both ends but with apparently original curving inner and outer edges. 12mm wide at both breaks, it widens towards the centre where there is round perforation (diammeter 6mm) and, on the outer edge, a sub-square, thickened lug. If the complete object was annular and had an opposing lug, it would have measured c.70mm, with an internal diameter of c.30mm.

Fragment of gold sheet from an unidentified object. The sheet is folded forming a front and back-plate the edges of which are torn, except for the lower edge of the back-plate which appears neatly cut, and the straight folded edge. The front-plate is decorated with a row of stamped dots above a row of repoussé pellets parallel with the folded edge, the lower edge possibly torn along a third row of pellets or dots. Surviving dimensions 12 x 7mm. Weight 0.4g. Although ancient (over 300 years old) the decoration would be consistent with a Bronze Age, Roman or Early Medieval date, and…

Incomplete copper alloy Roman object, perhaps an unusual button-and-loop fastener, handle, or unidentified object. Rectangular boss, flat on the reverse, with cusped or concave sides rising to form a central rectangular socket which is now partially filled by iron corrosion. The upper edges of the socket are broken. Projecting from the side and reverse of one short edge is a short, rounded projection, perhaps broken on the underside, which may represent the remains of the shank of a button-and-loop fastener. There are no apparent breaks or scars on any of the other edges, so this does…

Unidentified object. Copper alloy flat disc stamped on one face with 12 triangles in a circle, points facing inwards, around a very slightly raised circular moulding around a central rectangular hole. Plain on the reverse. There is a very small amount of possible decayed enamel on one triangle. The edges of the disc are certainly complete around most of the circumference but there are abraded patches which may be breaks. Diameter 20mm. Thickness 1.5mm. Weight 2.76g. Probably Roman, perhaps part of a brooch. See for example Hattatt, 2000, 351, fig.210, no.1062. Also similar to a button…

Roman copper alloy mount of Boucher's (2008) Type B5 dating to the period c. AD 80 - 250. Openwork circular terminals (one broken) with short projections to either side before a central, raised rectangular plate. The circular terminals each has a crescent-shaped cell retaining corroded blue enamel or glass, and the outer edge of the complete circle may be damaged, suggesting a possible further elemnet sucha as a knop has broken off. There is a circular hole through the rectangular plate now filled with corroded iron and surounded by a circular collar or rove on the reverse. There are …

Possible Late Roman unusual amphora-shaped strap-end, or unidentified object. Consisting of a flat-sectioned plate (now triangular) with a straight, original edge uppermost, and a single circular piercing (probably a rivet hole) at the point of the triangle, after which the plate begins to expand shortly before a transverse break (at the neck, if a strap-end). To either side of the plate there are projections forming a triangular aperture above an oval or circular aperture or loop, all of which are broken. The more complete loop or projection terminates in, or is broken accross, a pos…
