Object type: NAIL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two iron nails of uncertain date. The shafts have rectangular cross-sections and narrow away from the head, they are both broken before the terminals. The heads are both broken on most edges but it seems they would have been square/rectangular in plan originally. Length of shafts- 45.6mm and 39.92mm, width of heads- 30.25mm and 33.27mm

Record ID: DUR-6D49C4
Object type: TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron blade, probably a knife, most likely Post Medieval in date. The knife begins to curve around half way down the blade. At this point it also narrows (from 20.46mm to 7.57mm). It seems to have a rectangular cross section. It is very corroded and so little detail can be seen on it. Iron tools such as this take a similar form over many centuries and so stray finds such as this are difficult to date precisely. Due to corrosion levels in the area it is unlikely this is pre the Post Medieval period as it would probably not have survived.

Object type: STUD
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Circular iron domed stud, with remains of broad circular-sectioned shank/pin on the reverse, now broken. It is possible that this object might have originally had a copper alloy exterior, but there is no trace of this now. Parallels: It is impossible to be certain of the date or function of this object. There are no parallels from the related 1843 hoard. Measurements: Thickness: 10.5mm; diameter: 19.4mm; weight: 7.2g
