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.

Fragment of medieval silver, gilded finger ring. The band is faceted externally to form concave lozengiform fields with smaller triangular fields between, rising to form a point where the corners of four fields meet. The surviving triangular fields are plain, the lozengiform fields engraved with four lines forming a border around a star or sunburst formed from radiating engraved lines. Plain internally. The surviving fragment consists of one complete lozengiform field and two incomplete.
Width of band 6mm. Weight 0.6g. Not enough survives to estimate the original diameter.
For broadly similar but more complete examples see Oman (1974, pl. 21, B and Pl. 66C) and NMS-9F1A05 (Norfolk HER28924) which has plain facets on the hoop and a bezel. Circa 15th century.

Description: Anglo-Saxon silver and copper-alloy boss from unidentified object. Domed, formed from three layers; an upper silver decorated dome over a layer of corroded copper alloy before a further silver layer. Parts of the edge of the upper silver dome may be original, but the lower two layers have no original surviving edge. Decorated with a triquetra in very low relief within a border defined by engraved lines, with gilding surviving between the raised lines.
Dimensions: Surviving diameter 14-16mm. Height at least 9mm. Weight 5.2g.
Discussion: The function and identity of this object is unknown, but it appears to derive from a larger composite artefact. For a similar but much smaller boss with a different design, also from an unidentified object, dated to the 9th to 11th centuries, see KENT-5DEF18. Two much larger silver domed mounts (LEIC-15A132 and LANCUM-A21744) are dated to the 8th and 9th centuries respectively, both on art-historical grounds. The triquetra is a long-lived motif; see a 7th century pyramidal mount with a simpler triquetra design on each face from Roughton, Norfolk (HER37313), NMS-1E5834.
Date: c. 700-1000 AD.

Post-medieval silver composite dress hook. Trefoil back-plate cusped around the edge supporting three hemispherical bosses with engraved angled lines either side of a median line to indicate a leaf on the flange between each boss. Each boss has two large filigree wire circles with pellets within and between and at the apex of each dome. A separate silver sexfoil sheet at the centre of the three bosses is secured through the back-plate by a dome-headed butterfly clip. There is a separate rectangular sectioned rectangular loop for attachment and an incomplete hook soldered to the reverse. There are only very slight traces of gilding surviving.
Width 21mm. Length (excluding remains of hook) 19mm. Height excluding reverse fittings 17mm. Weight 5.3g.

Update: a further socketed axehead was recovered from the same area in January 2018 and reported as 2018T593 (NMS-D74E8B). This was joined by seven further fragments found in November 2018 to give a total of eight items in 2018T593.
In 2022 it was realised that two more fragments of socketed axe (found October 2016) were also part of this hoard, and they have been recorded at NMS-141277 (Treasure number to come).

Neolithic unpatinated black flake, appears to be a possible sub-triangular arrowhead with transverse bending fractures to both the distal and proximal ends, this is usual damage for an arrow that has hit a hard surface. It is manufactured quickly from a flat secondary flake with a small patch of weathered cortex on the dorsal face towards the distal end and is only slightly retouched in places to correct the curvature and improve symmetry. 26 x 18 x 3 mm.
