Three sherds of pottery of possible Early Medieval date. The pottery appears to be hand-made, but the surfaces are incomplete due to old and more recent breaks. The fabric has small white grit tempering, and occasional larger white quartzite particles, with some mica. It is grey-brown in colour, with the outer surface smoothed. The combined weight of the three sherds is 12.04g and it is likely that they formed part of the same vessel.

A copper alloy fragment from an Early Medieval stirrup-strap mount. It is the base part of a Williams Type 11A sub-triangular mount, the rest is missing due to old breaks. The base has a shallow flange on the reverse which projects at right angles. It has two perforations for rivets for attachment. Part of the rivets remain in situ, within a patch of iron corrosion, also on the reverse. On the front face there is a narrow frame of c.4mm, enclosing the depiction of a lion facing left, with a raised front paw and tail curled forward and upward over its back.

An Early Medieval copper alloy stirrup terminal, with a trefoil shape. The terminal is hollow-backed with a U-shaped profile in which traces of lead can be seen. This would have been the solder used to attach the terminal to the lower stirrup arm and foot plate. The outer face of the terminal has a devolved zoomorphic shape, with the animal 'face' reduced to triangular shapes outlined by incised lines within the trefoil. The two outward-turning 'eyes' lie in the foils to either side, and an elongated triangular 'nose' extends along the central foil. There is a collar above the trefoil…
