Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation

The bell is misses part of the base. There is an integral rectangular suspension loop at the apex, it is pierced. The metal is pitted and is a mid greenish-brown in colour. It is probably early-medieval in date, 10th - 11th century. A similarly shaped one was found in a late 10th century deposit from York (Mainman and Rogers; 2000; 2599). Similar to YORYM-7EA6F8 and YORYM-D84BF5 both found at Snape with Thorpe (North Yorkhire).

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete small cast copper alloy single looped D-shaped buckle. The buckle has a narrowed and off-set strap bar, which has broken at either end and is now missing. The outer edge of the frame is wide and rounded. The frame is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The pin is missing. The terminals of the D-shaped frame are rounded. The metal has lost most of its original surface and the metal is a light greyish-green colour and is heavily pitted. This type of buckle dates from the early-medieval period. It probably dates to the late 8th – 12th century.

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a cast copper alloy strap end or buckle-type fitting. Only the terminal of the object survives and the breaks are irregular. This has therefore resulted in the loss of most of the object. The terminal is raised and finishes with a zoomorphic head. The head features the ears, eyes, nose and mouth of a creature. Extending out from the back of the animals head are the remains of the rest of the object. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour; it is pitted and slightly corroded. This object probably dates from the late 8th - 11th century.
