Five small and abraded sherds of wheelmade medieval pottery. Four of the sherds are body sherds. The fifth is a rim sherd. One of the body sherds has traces of the characteristic green lead glaze on the external surface of the sherd. The sherds are otherwise all fairly undiagnostic. The sherds all have a high mica content within the clay. These sherds date to the 13th - 14th century. They probably represent part of a manuring scatter. Collective weight: 47g.

An incomplete late Iron Age -early Roman copper-alloy Colchester brooch with a date range from 25-60AD. The spring of eight turns is secured by passing the external chord under a forward-facing hook which folds down onto the top of the bow. The short wings are relatively flat in section, are wider nearer to the bow and measure 15.3mm in width. The surface of the wings is pitted and so it is not possible to say if there was any decoration. The spring has been badly bent out of position. The bow is plain below this point and is D-shaped in section. The foot is slightly pointed. The catc…

A cast copper alloy, pouring spout from a 15th – 16th century vessel. The spout depicts a dogs head with a pipe in his mouth, acting as the spout. The dog has closed eyes and long, floppy ears. The spout is otherwise undecorated. The break (where the spout has become detached from the vessel) look worn, but the break is a clear break where the two components have parted company. The spout has the characteristic robust construction that survives well in the ground. Similar spout can be seen in Bailey, G. Detector Finds 3. pg 57-8.

The knop is simply the thin tapered terminal of the stem (this has also been bent out of place). The section of the stem is circular. A tiny fragment of the rest of spoon's bowl was found near to the main part of the spoon. It weights only 0.38g. The spoon is a dark jadish-green colour, though it…

Spaced around the frame are a number of decorative features. The features alternate between a collar around the frame and a flat, circular disc, which is mounted on top of the frame. There are three discs and four ‘collars’. The discs have been …

A small copper alloy thimble. This artefact has been cast, then turned on a lathe. It has straight sides with a single rim, and a rounded but not overly-rounded top. Finally, it was probably punched with ten rows of dots on the sides, also while on the lathe, judging by the regularity of the dots; there is no ‘seam’ in the spacing of the dots. The end of the thimble has a pattern of punched square dots. This thimble was clearly manufactured. Curiously, its size shows that it was either a toy or a thimble for a child- was this for a workhouse or mill-working child? The regular natur…

A cast copper alloy buckle frame. The frame has one loop and a pin bar, but is likely to have originally had a second loop. The surviving loop is D-shaped, with a wide frame of constant width. The frame is decorated with rosettes at the ends of the pin bar and at the centre of the loop; between these there are transverse bands. The reverse is undecorated. The pin is missing. The whole artefact is very corroded and worn, and so it is not possible to say for certain whether there was a second loop. The surface is pale green and slightly pitted. This buckle dates to the post-medieval period.

Lead weight, with an iron eye. The iron eye was wrought, like a nail with a circular end, and then cast into a cone of lead. The lead part has an outer surface which is dented and marked in the same way as clay; this suggests that clay was involved in the moulding process: it is possible that the mould was made of damp clay, by making the form with a shaped piece of wood, the molten lead then being poured into the hole, and the iron held in place. The artefact is complete, and in fairly good condition; the lead is well preserved, with fine preservation of the surface; the iron is rathe…

Copper alloy buckle, with a single rectangular loop, and a surviving iron pin. The buckle frame has rounded corners, and flat faces on the obverse, with a pin bar that is set back, so the strap can pass straight over it. There is a small notch for the pin in the frame. The reverse has rounded faces, and the raised pin bar. The wrought iron pin is badly corroded, but still moves; it has, however, lost its end portion. This is likely to be a horse harness fitting, and probably dates to around the 17th century.
