Copper alloy Spanish 8 Maravedis coin of either Philip II, III or IV dating from the post Medieval period, that is c 1500-1700. The obverse description is a crowned shield with the monogram RX inside with the value VIII to the R of the shield. The reverse description is a crowned shield containing a rampart lion with a large T to the R of shield. Below the T it is possible to make out a number 2 which will be part of the date. It could be possible that the T is a later counter stamp as it was common to counter stamp Philip Maravedis coins.

Cast copper alloy knife cap or knife end dating from the early post-medieval period that is c. AD1500-1600.

An end-cap of similar form, but with four grooves, can be seen on this database at SF-CD6F27 and there is a good parallel to this LANCUM example from Wiltsh…

Object type: ARMOUR
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy unknown object, possibly a fragment of a Roman or later armour. The fragment is crescent-shaped/semi-circular and very thin. It has three perforations at the top, two of which are cracked but not broken. Is it slightly curved, with the concave side being the inner and the convex the outer side. It is undecorated. It is in very good state of preservation which suggests that it may be of post-medieval or later date. However, then it would not be an armour plate because medieval and modern armoury parts were more often made from iron rather than copper-alloy.

Cast copper-alloy trumpet brooch dating from the early Roman period, that is c. AD75-175. The brooch is incomplete and very worn with pin, pin rest and spring missing.

Even though very worn it is still identifiable: the middle of the bow was decor…
