Object type: BELL
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy bell of Early-Medieval date. Most of the bell chamber survives with just the bottom edges being uneven due to breaks. It is faceted and tapers towards the top, where there should be a loop but this is now missing. The artefact is heavily corroded. A similar bell was found at Meols, Cheshire (Griffiths et al 2007: 69/pl. 75, no. 390). They are increasingly thought to be characteristic of the Danelaw in the 10th century (for further discussion, see Griffiths et al 69-70).
