Cast, lead alloy toy handle possibly from a petronel gun, of post medieval date (AD 1700-1900). The handle is a dark grey in colour with some patches of corrosion. The object is curved and broken at potentially both ends. One end is very abruptly blunted and a rounded portion may have been broken off. The other end is hollow and would have been where the barrel of the toy attached. The handle does have some engraved decoration but is difficult to distinguish through wear and corrosion.

A complete, copper alloy swivel (strap fitting), probably from a harness, of Medieval date (AD 1100-1500). The swivel consists of two D shaped loops attached in the middle with a lug which is integral to one of half and passes through a perforation on the other. The loops are wider and rounded at their meeting point but the joined surfaces are flat. Both loops are decorated with small wings at the base and single ridges on each side.Both loops have green patina though one is of a darker colour than the other. This suggests the two halves were made of a different melt of copper alloy, …
