Record ID: CPAT-FAE633
Object type: COIN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A medieval hammered silver penny of Edward I (1272-1307AD). This coin is from the 'new coinage' beginning in 1279AD with the non-voided long cross to the reverse. The obverse has the crowned bust facing with a rose on the chest and no double bar to the 'N', indicative of a class 7a thus further refining the date to 1290 - 1293AD. The reverse has the long cross pattée with three pellets in each angle.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead bi-conical spindle whorl of probable medieval to post medieval date. As ever, always difficult to be precise on date with no other evidence, thus it is possible that the date range may go back to the Roman. The whorl is undecorated and has a central hole diameter of 10.15mm. The surface is covered with a pale cream oxidation.

Record ID: CPAT-08F4E1
Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead weight of unusual form but probable post medieval origin. The form is that of a thimble and the pitting to the narrow topmost section is indicative of this having been cast within perhaps a copper alloy thimble. There are neither fixing points nor holes to suggest use other than as a simple weight. The diameter decreases to 12.8mm from 16.37mm. The surface has the typical pale cream patina further discoloured by the reddish soil adhered to the surface.

A lead bi-conical spindle whorl of probable medieval to post medieval origin. The whorl is poorly cast with no decoration and just about qualifies for the bi-conical form but the intent is clear. The central hole is 11.65mm and the surface is now pitted and marked and covered with the typical pale cream patina further discoloured by the reddish soil adhered to the surface.

Record ID: CPAT-08C3E3
Object type: COIN
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy Roman nummi of indeterminate ruler but probable late 4th century origin. With no identifiable features beyond a rudimentary bust to the obverse and just the hint of a legend on the reverse, no further ID can be suggested. The condition of the coin is very poor and may therefore be typical of the many contemporary forgeries of that time.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A hefty lump of cast lead of unknown use but most likely a weight, probably dating from the post medieval but an earlier origin can not be ruled out. In form, it resembles wicker basket with a sub oval plan view and the rounded bottom with a central protruding 'handle'. The 'handle' has been drilled through to afford a fixing option. That 'handle section could be seen as the 'tenon' to form a joint with some other material/handle. As for use, it may be a weight; the lower face has numerous surface marks/dents that may indicate use as a form of pestle. It is now covered with the …

Object type: MINIATURE OBJECT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Published
A miniature object in the form of a cast copper alloy axehead of probable of 1st/4th century Roman origin. The axehead may well have been hafted via the cast hole (eye) to the top of the blade. The axe is probably a votive device and whilst it is presumed to be Roman, a later medieval origin cannot be ruled out. The surface has a rough dark brown/green corrosion.
