Lead alloy weight, probably a spindle whorl dating from the 13th-15th century AD. The weight is circular in shape awith a central hole for the spindle. It is roughly rectangular in cross-section, with very worn surfaces. It was decorated with a very untidy moulded line and dot decoration.

Probably a very worn Roman copper-alloy folding knife handle dating from the 1st-4th century AD. The object is extremely worn with a much abraded and worn surface overall. None of the detailed mouldings survive on the surface. Comparing this fragment to other knife handles recorded on the database it is possible that the lower two thirds of the handle take the form of a stylised, three-dimensional feline figure, the body, neck and head of which together form an 'S' shape. The head faces forwards and would have had well moulded features, including an open mouth, pointed-oval eyes,…
