Copper alloy sheet fragment Semi-circular fragment of copper-alloy sheet. The curved edge appears to be original, but the straighter edge is broken. The presence of iron corrosion hints at the possibility that this could once have formed part of a chain mail fastener or fitting, but it is impossible to ascertain its function with certainty.

Copper alloy fragment, probably from a Medieval chafing dish. It is a W shape in plan with both ends being broken, they would probably have extended upwards to form a loop, this would then have attached onto the dish. The fragment is square in cross-section with slightly bevelled edges and file marks can be seen on the surface. Chafing dishes were domestic utensils made of metal or earthenware for holding burning charcoal or other combustible material. This was then used to cook food or keep it hot at the table.

Small piece of sheet metal with raised decoration on one side of unknown date. It is sub-rectangular in plan and appears to be broken on 3 sides. The top edge appears complete and it is possible this is a rim. There is raised decoration in the form of a horizontal line around half way up the item and above that some further pattern in a linear layout. This could be a decorative fragment from furniture, dress accessory or other item such as a book clasp but so little remains it is difficult to tell. From the patina its date is likely to be Medieval- Post Medieval.

Cast copper alloy object of uncertain function, Post Medieval in date. It is incomplete having broken at the lower end. It consists of a sub-rectangluar lower section which is slightly concave on both faces. At the top is a figure, possibly a long-necked bird which appears to be sat down. Detail picks out a possible beak and eye and also the tail. The design is the same on both faces. This is an unusual item and could be some sort of furniture decoration or possibly a personal item.
