Probable silver ingot. Rectangular-sectioned with irregular but unbroken terminals and multiple shallow transverse hammer marks on the long faces. Measuring 13 x 6 x 5mm. Weight 1.77g / 27.4 grains. The weight of 27.4 grains corresponds very closely with 1 avoirdupois dram (27.3grains) although this is probably a coincidence. The hammer marks may indicate a Late Saxon date.

Undated but ancient copper alloy ingot. Slightly irregular rectangular-sectioned bar with chamfered corners (forming an octagonal-section with alternate wide and very narrow faces), cut at one end, with a more recent granular break at the other. There are file marks over most of the surface and cut end, but no hammer marks. Surviving length 17.5mm, width 7 x 7mm. Weight 6.6g (102.2gn).

Undated and unidentified fragment of silver or white metal, possibly an ingot. Sub-oval section, curved, with multiple hammer marks on the outer face, the ends damaged or deliberately burred over, with well-defined but irregular longitudinal grooves on the inner face. Length 12mm. Width 7mm. Weight 1.4g. This object cannot be securely identified or dated and therefore falls outside of the provisions of the Treasure Act (1996).

Possible Late Saxon ingot of flat ovoid form, i.e. with almost parallel straight sides, rounded ends and two broad faces. Of the latter one is almost level but with slight signs of transverse hammering, and the other is very slightly concave. Length 46.5mm. Width 20.5mm. Thickness 5.5mm. Weight 33.90g. It has been suggested that copper alloy ingots from Norfolk of bar-like form and with transverse hammering may belong to the Viking period (Geake, H. Medieval Archaeol. 2001, 242-3). This example bears no obvious relationship with the 25g/26g unit suggested from Viking-Age silver ingots…

Silver ingot. Irregular rectangular-section (each face is a different width), with an ancient break at one end and one side curving inwards towards the unbroken end. Three faces are stamped with pairs of opposed, single-pelleted triangles or angular figures-of-eight; 5 broken across a 6th on one face, 2, and 6 possibly broken across a 7th. Worn transverse lines or notches on one edge are too slight to be certainly deliberate and there are no hammer marks. The stamp is a decorative motif and typically occurs on jewellery of the Viking period, e.g. a fragment of a silver arm-ring and…

Probably Late Saxon/Viking period ingot. Oval-sectioned silver bar, one face flattened, cut at an angle at both ends with an incomplete cut mark next to one edge. The weight of this object corresponds with twice a suggested Anglo-Saxon weight unit of 3.1 grams (Kruse, 1992, 86 - 87). Probably Late Saxon/Viking, 9th-11th .century. Length 13mm. Width 13mm. Thickness 6mm.Weight 6.2g.

Description: An ingot, analysed and found to be a high-tin pewter. Cast metal bar, one end rounded, the other distorted and broken. The section is plano-convex, tending to trapezoidal near the broken end. The surface of the curved face is uneven with numerous longitudinal striations, that of the straight face smooth. Near the very rough fracture the object has been bent, and there is transverse concavity, probably caused by pressure on the convex face. Small cracks on the convex surface are probably the result of post-depositional damage.The ingot weighs 113.62g. Analysis: Non-de…

County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Discoidal silver ingot with rather poorly defined facets on parts of side as a result of hammering. There are a pair of small hollows near one edge of one face and short radial and oblique grooves at the edge of the other. The latter were probably cut to test the quality of the metal. The form, however, is quite unlike bar ingots that were the norm in the late 9th century. Possibly Late Saxon. Diameter 15 - 16mm, thickness 3 - 3.5mm, weighing 6.18g / 95.4grains, perhaps for a 1/4 of an eyrir, the Viking-Age unit of weight of 25g/26g.
