The weight is of irregular, sub-circular section and is widest around its midsection (with a diameter of 40.3mm - 44.3mm).

Copper alloy blade fragment of uncertain date
The blade is fragmentary, broken at one end (with a surviving length of 51.9mm and a weight of 6.0g). The blade is of oval section (with a width of 9.8mm and a thickness of 2.7mm at the break) and subtle midrib flanked by gently concave blade edges. Both sides are edged and one side is subtly concave, while the opposite side is very gently convex, although it is unclear whether the form is through design or differential wear. The end of the blade is flat, rather than pointed (with a width of 7.7mm), defined by sub-triangular facets on b…

Roman copper alloy bow brooch probably of Aucissa, or allied type and of 1st century AD date
The brooch is incomplete, missing the head and catch (with a surviving length of 49.5mm, a surviving depth of 14.0mm and a weight of 1.6g). The bow has broken before the head (with a maximum width of 6.0mm and a thickness of 0.8mm), which was likely to have been of rolled form. There is an indentation at the centre of the break, possibly representing the end of the slot to accommodate the pin, although the bow is not widened, as is common at the head of Aucissa brooches. The bow is of sheet…
