The outside surface of the ring is decorated with lines which make a zig-zag pattern and a dot in each triangle. The inside surface is plain and smooth. It is D-shaped in section. The ring has been cast but the decoration appears to have been added after casting. Cast copper alloy finger rings were found in London dating to the medieval period (Egan and Pritchard; 1991; 331-2).

Roman bow brooch with some blue and orange enamel remaining. A derivative of a Wirral/ trumpet type bow brooch. This is an unusual variation and has some nice detail remaining. The bow is very pronounced and the body of the brooch is quite short. The main body of the brooch is complete although it has broken before the foot. The pin was on a spring of 4 turns and this still reamins although the pin is now missing. Some of the catchplate is present. The head plate takes the form of 3 steps which are enamelled with orange. There could have been a loop at the top as there is a broken edge there, but this is not certain. All the way down the bow are triangular cells, one row on each side, which are filled with blue enamel. The lozenges in between the triangles are just metal. In the middle of the bow is a hexagonal boss which has been marked with a cross. This could have contained enamel but none remains.

This type of jetton dates from the 16th through to the 17th century and are popularly called stock jettons (ibid).
The obverse is completely worn/corroded away. The reverse has a double trilobe which contains a reichsapfel (imperial orb- an orb with a cross on the top). None of the inscription can be seen on either side as it has totally worn away. A similar example can be seen on page 259, no. 264 (Mernick and Algar; 2001).
This jetton has been pierced, perhaps for use as a pendant.

It is most likely to be a decorative handle. The object consists of 2 parts which have been combined to make the handle. The piece which attaches to the furniture is a screw which leads to a circular disc (which would have been flat against the surface of the piece of furniture) at the top of a cylinder. This cylinder is then attached to a large circular disc. The disc is concave on the outside face. In this concave section is the face of a lion which was cast as part of the disc. This would have been the face visible when the handle was on the drawer.

An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Dragonesque brooch. This type of brooch is essentially Celtic in design but is Roman made and continued to be made until the middle of teh 2nd century AD. They are an entirely British type of brooch (Hattatt; 1982; 152). The brooch has a raised surface and a flat back. Two of the heads remain, there would have been three originally. Both the heads are broken, the hole (which represents the eye) is incomplete on both. The semi-circle central part of the brooch represents the body of the dragon and has a circular perforation.

Stone axe-hammer head dating from the final phases of the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age.
The axe head has been damaged, most likely by a plough, there are scratch marks on the sides and at the butt end some chunks have been broken off. Overall the axe head is sub-triangular in plan, with the butt having rounded corners and the blade not being central. The shafthole is midway between the blade and butt but is not equi-distant from the sides. It is circular and smooth all the way through. The axe is made from a hard, grey, igenous stone.
Using Roe's typology this is a Class 2 as the blade and butt are fairly equal in thickness (1979; P30-32). Their use is not certain but some possibilities include a form of primitive plough or hammer.

Copper alloy lozenge shaped plate brooch from the Roman period. The main body of the brooch is complete but the pin is missing. The brooch is lozenge shaped with a lug at each corner. The front face has a hollow central lozenge shaped boss which would have been filled with enamel as decoration. The boss is surrounded by a raised edge. The lugs have been cast integrally with the brooch and are pointed and collared. Two have the remains of the pin mechanism and the catchplate on the back. The back of the brooch is plain. This type of brooch dates from the end of the first century through to the second century AD.

Copper alloy cast reversed fantail type of Roman bow brooch. The bow of the brooch is complete and the catchplate is still present. The pin was on a spring mechanism held by a rearward hook over the chord. The hook is still present but the pin and the spring are missing. The back of the bow is flat and the front decoration is moulded. The top half of the bow is made up of two domes. The bow then widens to the lower bow which is almost lozenge shaped. The lower bow has an X on the top part. The foot knob is semi-spherical. Hatatt dated this type of brooch to the mid first century AD. A very similar example can be seen in Hatatt's book on page 62, no. 813 (1994).
