A damaged and incomplete copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle frame, missing most of one of its loops as well as its pin. The pin bar extends beyond the sides in thin lobes, with recesses to each side which emphasise them. The reverse and upper surfaces are flat, and the frame bevelled internally and externally on the upper surface, giving it a semicircular cross-section. On the front of the outer edge of the extant loop is a centrally located eight petalled rosette. The buckle has a dark-green patina.

An incomplete copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle dating to the period c. 1550-1650. The buckle is D-shaped in form, having lost a loop, and in cross-section. It has a circular knop at the centre of the outer edge of the surviving loop, possibly with small decorative radial moulded ridges, now unclear. The pin bar has a small, pointed moulded knop at either end. The pin consists of a separate copper-alloy thick sheet which has been bent around the pin bar. This has corroded to a light-green colour, compared to the dark-brown of the frame, and may represent a repair; the lo…

A copper-alloy annular brooch of medieval date (c. 13th century AD). It has a circular, cable decorated (twisted) frame seemingly formed of one single rotation, and thus falls into Deevy's Class 3a for which a 12th- to 14th-century date has been suggested (Deevy 1998, 17). It has a broadly circular cross-section. Around a pin constriction a cast pin with collar below the loop, surviving in situ. It is circular in cross-section and tapers to a point. It has been bent to one side as a result of old damage. Both brooch and pin have corroded to the same light-green colour. It measures …

A post-medieval copper-alloy square coin weight possibly for a half ('spur') ryal of James I, tariffed at XVIs, VId, indicating it related to coins of the revalued 2nd coinage, dating to 1612-1619. One side seemingly depicts a spur with central rose; the other a mark of value with a crown above: the 's' denoting shilling might be discernible. These weights were replaced by round ones with similar designs post-1632 (Withers and Withers 1995, 38). Highly corroded, the coin weight measures 15.2mm by 14.9mm, 3.8mm thick and weighs 5.32 grams (81.94 grains).

A fragment from a later medieval to early post-medieval copper-alloy foot from a cooking vessel. The object is broken across both large flat surfaces, and may have also suffered fire damage which has distorted the form. The foot has a splayed out base in the form of a simple, out-turned, pad-like foot of trapezoidal cross-section, significantly worn across the front. Any decoration on the front of the foot is obscured by corrosion product and losses. The breaks are irregular and old. The back is flat. At one of the back corners is an extrusion which may have resulted from fire damage.…

A medieval copper-alloy bar mount (strap fitting), small and sub-hemispherical in form. A convex, central lobe is crossed by five neatly incised transverse lines that create ridges. These ridges have also been finely incised longitudinally across the whole object to create a neat grid pattern. The two smaller perforated side lobes both retain their copper-alloy rivets. The object is similar to artefacts illustrated in Read (2001, 23; fig. 12) and Egan and Pritchard (1991, 214; fig. 134) which are dated to the second half of the fourteenth century. The object is 17.6mm long, 9.1mm w…

A medieval copper-alloy strap-fitting, now bent round at both ends. The object is formed of a rectangular sheet perforated in each corner for rivets, none of which survive. It is uncertain to what sort of composite strap-fitting this might have been applied, or whether it might have been applied directly to a strap. In its folded state it measures 23.0mm long by 14.9mm wide by 0.8mm thick. It weighs 3.10g.

A Roman copper-alloy Colchester derivative Polden Hill (flat wing ends type, Western Group) brooch (later 1st to mid-/late-2nd century AD). The brooch survives well, only having suffered some post-depositional damage and the loss of its pin. The head has curved wings with flat perforated end plates; one perforation has been broken through. The axis bar is missing although traces of corrosion product on the underside of the wings suggests that it might have been made of iron. There is a double transversely incised line at each terminal, with a groove beyond, followed by a second pair o…

A Late Iron Age/early Roman (AD20-80) copper-alloy Colchester two-piece brooch, incompletein so far as it is missing the elements of its catch-plate, and much of its pin. The wings are short, flat and rectangular. Behind the wings is a hook that curves upwards to retain the axis bar, and, above this, an integral hook curved back on itself to retain the chord. The spring mechanism survives intact, around its axis bar, the chord retained within the rearward hook. There are two coils to each side; on one side the innermost coil develops into the pin which has been truncated after only c.…

A post-medieval copper-alloy mount/strap-fitting of c. 17th-century date. The mount is sub-triangular, elaborate, with longitudinal symmetry. At one end it is finished in a triangle; the other has a trefoilate protrusion. This latter features grooves that define the fleurs. At the centre of the base of this terminal is a pellet on the upper surface. From each corner of the wider end of the main body of the mount (from the centre of which emerges the trefoil) a curved protrusion emerges which abuts the terminals of the side fleurs. From the wider end the main sub-triangular plate taper…

A medieval to post-medieval copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame incomplete only in so far as it is missing its pin. It is formed of two conjoined oval loops. The loops are bevelled externally on the upper surface, bevelling echoed internally on the reverse. The central bar pin bar is narrowed and triangular in cross-section which is 2.4mm thick. The outer edges of the loops have 'cusped' (or 'serrated') outer edges. Each loop has four filed grooves at the centre of moulded bifid knops, giving the outer edge of the loop its cusped appearance; the gaps between the central knops act …
