Copper alloy knob handle probably from the Post-medieval or modern periods. The weight is spherical with 2 small protrusions, one at each end. The top protrusion is rectangular in section. The lower one is circular. Both appear broken- it is not known what they were attached to. The top half of the main body of the weight is separated from the lower half by medial raised line. A very similar example has been found in Middlesborough (Curmmy; 1988; 42), which has been dated to the late Post-medieval or modern periods.

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy Roman disc brooch dating to the mid 1st century to the late second century AD. The disc is not complete so it cannot be sure whether it was circular or oval. Some of the catchplate and pin mechanism remain but the pin is missing. The front of the brooch is decorated with a raised hexagonal pattern with a small disc at the end of each point. This could be derived from the Roman sunburst pattern. A similar brooch can be seen in Hattatt (1982; 138/9; no.118).
