DENO-A62A46: MOUNT
A complete cast copper alloy bar mount of medieval date, c. AD 1300-1400. The mount is a D-sectioned bar with a convex, hemispherical waist. The bar may be decorated with traverse bands, however the metal's surface is now very corroded obscuring possible detail. The arms of the bar taper to blunt points; one point appears to terminate in an old break. The bar's reverse is flat and undecorated, with no discernable traces of attachment holes or rivets. Length: 23 mm, width: 9 mm, thickness: 3 mm and weight: 1.6 g.

DENO-A5A93A: FINGER RING
A complete gold finger ring of post-medieval date, c. AD 1800-1830. The ring has a thin, undecorated D-sectioned band with no bezel. It bears an interior maker's mark, 'WH', which has been identified with Will Hunter or Will Hitchin, a London goldsmith working at the beginning of the 19th century. Diameter: 16 mm, thickness: 0.75 mm, width: 2 mm and weight 1 g.

DENO-A458DE: STRAP END

It is sub-rectangular in plan, with rounded corners and sides which taper to the upper edge which terminates in a small curved knop. The object is made from two thin sheets which are connected by a circular copper alloy rivet which remains in the upper centre of the sheets. The metal's surface has a smooth, dark green patina. Length: 13 mm, width: 6 mm, thickness: 1.5 mm and weight 0.7 mm.

DENO-A3EF54: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy small-long brooch of early medieval date (Anglo-Saxon), c. AD 410-600. The object comprises the broken head plate and part of the upper bow. The head plate is rectangular in plan and in section. Its left arm terminates in an irregular break immediately beyond the head plate. Its right arm is almost complete but has irregular, worn outer edges. The upper terminal is worn so that it appears as a half-circle above the rectangular plate. The head plate may have been decorated with stamped or incised decoration, but this is not currenty visible, as the metal's surface is heavily corroded. From the base of the rectangular head plate, the leg, which is D-shape in section, extends forward and sharply downwards before it terminates in a diagonal break. The reverse of the head plate retains a corroded stub, probably the remains of the hinged pin fixture. Length: 37 mm, width: 26, thickness 2 mm and weight: 9.3 g.

DENO-11CBE2: PLAQUE
An incomplete cast lead alloy possible plaque, of medieval to post-medieval date, c. AD 1400 -1600. In plan, the object appears as an inverted triangle with curved corners, and it is sub-oval in section. The obverse face is decorated with indistinct mouldings in low relief, including what appears as a horizontal propellor-shaped moulding in centre and two smilar vertical mouldings at the upper edge, which are truncated at their waists by the edge of the mount. At this edge, in the centre, there is a half-circle shaped piercing, and at the lower centre there is a full sub-circular piercing; both are probably to accomodate a nail or rivet. The reverse surface is flat and undecorated, with a few deep scratches. The mount's metal surface has a mid-grey patina. Length: 47 mm, width: 41mm, thickness: 6 mm and weight: 74.8 g.

DENO-E89764: COIN
A post medieval silver half groat of Elizabeth I (AD 1558 - 1603) dating from AD 1589 - 1592. Third coinage, hand initial mark. Tower of London mint. North (1991: 137) no. 2016. Diameter 17.39 mm, thickness 0.83 mm and weight 0.88 g.

DENO-E82177: STRAP END
A cast copper alloy strap end, possibly of early medieval date, with a moulded zoomorphic terminal (c. AD 900 - 1400). The strap end has a narrow, tapering plate, split to accommodate the strap and with a single rivet centrally placed at the rounded attachment edge still in situ. The upper surface of the plate appears to have incised decoration, now very abraded and indistinct, possibly a series of lozenges and lines. The upper plate has chamfered edges. The lower plate appears undecorated. It is corroded and has patches of glossy dark green patina. It is slightly chipped at the attachment edge. The terminal is unusual in that it has a moulded zoomorphic head rising on a 'neck' from the plate, and standing proud from the rest of the strap end. This head is of a reptilian beast, possibly a dragon or wyvern. The snout with nostrils is well defined, the maw is open, with visible tongue. Whilst the dragon-themed decoration is suggestive of an early medieval, Anglo-Scandinavian date, Rob Webley cautions against ascribing an early medieval date to zoomorphic terminals, pointing out there here are many medieval examples of zoomorphic terminals modelled in three dimensions, and cites an example in (Egan and Pritchard, 2002; pg. 132-133, fig. 86, no. 614) dated to the 14th century (Webley, 2019; https://finds.org.uk/counties/yorkshire/thin-up-north/). This strap end broadly conforms to the form identified by Webley (2019) as a possible type distributed in the North of England, with long, thin, tapering plate and a moulded, three-dimensional zoomorphic terminal. However, it differs in that the terminal is raised from the plate to form a prow-like structure. No exact parallel has been found on the database. Overall length 51 mm, width 8mm tapering to 4 mm, height 12 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 6.8 g.

DENO-E6E8A9: BROOCH

Reverse is flat and undecorated. Diameter 18 mm, thickness 2 mm and weight 3.1 g.

DENO-5502D1: WEIGHT
A cast lead lead alloy object, possibly a token but also possibly a weight of late medieval date, c. AD 1500 - 1600. The object is discoid, with both surfaces decorated. One face has an outer border of pellets, then within a solid circle, two initials possibly W A. The other surface has a similar border of pellets, then a circle enclosing design obscured by abrasion, possibly florate with interlaced letters. Diameter 24 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 11.3 g. Biggs and Withers (2000) illustrate a number of round, decorated weights. It is possible this object is a Tudor half-ounce 'Norwich' weight.

DENO-543CD9: SPINDLE WHORL
A post medieval crudely cast lead alloy object, probably intended for use as a loom weight or spindle whorl, dating to c. AD 1450 - 1600. The object broadly resembles Walton Rodgers form A1 or A2, being sub-circular in plan with one flat face and tapering curved sides. This creates an uneven cone, in plan it is assymetrical due to sprue on one side. The central perforation is countersunk on both faces, with a resulting constriction in diameter; 9 mm narrowing to 6 mm. There are traces of moulded decoration in the form of lines and chevrons on the upper surface. Probably this object is a mis-cast spindle whorl of post-medieval date (dated from decoration). Diameter 31 mm, thickness 6 mm and weight 31.2 g.

DENO-53EFC6: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead spindle whorl of the medieval to post medieval period, c. AD 1450 - 1550. It is a flattened cone in form, with one flat surface and one convex with a noticable median band.

DENO-53A9D3: SPINDLE WHORL
An early medieval lead alloy cast spindle whorl, dating to c. AD 500 - 1000. The whorl is discoidal in shape and D-shaped in cross section. The central hole is circular with an internal diameter of 6.5 mm, which narrows to 5 mm. Both faces bear evidence of decoration with lines and pellets but are highly abraded, with some chipping along one edge. The whorl is light-grey in colour with brow mottling. There are slight dents and bends, probably post-depositional. Diameter 31 mm, thickness 4 mm and weight 27.9 g. This form fits into Walton Rogers Form A1, with one flat surface, dating to c. AD 500 - 1000 (Walton Rogers, 1997, p.1738), although whorl forms were in use over a long period of time, and are notoriously hard to date.

DENO-535FA4: SPINDLE WHORL
An early medieval lead alloy cast spindle whorl of cylindrical Walton Rogers form B, dating to c. AD 43 - 900. With a central moulded aperture of 8.2 mm in diameter.

The button and loop fastener has a decorated square head and an integrally cast circular cross-sectioned shank extends at nearly 90 degrees from the back of the top of the head. The shank bends at approximately 90 degrees and splits into two arms to form a circular attachment loop. The square plate is pierced towards one edge by two square holes, with a raised semicircular section between and a red enamel incised line beneath. There are five sections of enamel along the opposite edge; two blue sections and three sections of uncertain colour, Overall length 39 mm, width 17 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 12.0 g.

DENO-5CBA32: FINGER RING
A complete copper alloy finger ring probably of post medieval date (c. AD 1600 - 1900). The ring has a thin, 3 mm broad, D-sectioned band, and a pyriform bezel, which may be intended as a shield or possible heart or tear drop, 9 mm tall and 7 mm wide. The bezel expands from the band and does not appear welded or affixed. The bezel is smooth and undecorated; there may be incised lines on the band either side of the bezel but this is uncertain due to corrosion. Several examples of copper alloy rings with drop-shaped or shield shaped bezels have been recorded on this database. These include LEIC-75EF8E, LVPL-27ACA4, DENO-08FC1D and WAW-CFEBD3. These all date to the post medieval period, largely from the 18th to 20th centuries. Internal diameter 14 mm, thickness 1mm and weight 1.4 g.

DENO-5C1EAA: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman enamelled plate brooch dating to the c. AD 350 - 375. The brooch is hexagonal in plan, with knops extending from each corner. The knops are blunt triangles with incised traverse grooves; one is larger and houses the hinge of the pin. There is a border of incised dots running around the outer edge of the plate The plate has a raised central cell mirroring the hexagon shape. Arranged within this are circular cells in each angle of the hexagon, containing blue enamel. In the centre is a larger circular cell containing red enamel. There is material in the space between cells which may be degraded enamel, the colour is not certain. The rear of the plate has a central circular cavity 8 mm diameter. The pin is missing, part of the hinge remains, and the base of the catch plate. Mackreath illustrates a brooch with similar decoration but larger knops; plate 118, 19a, no 5578.

DENO-D69D64: RAZOR
A copper alloy 'Hallstatt' razor dating from the Lyn Fawr phase of the late Bronze Age to the early Iron Age (c. 800 - 600 BC). The razor is a concave trapezoid in plan, there are two suspension loops with a crescent shaped strengthening bar or rib beneath them, extending beyond the edges of the blade. The rib suggests this is Unterstall or Poiseul type, although lacking the decorative perforations. Undecorated razors with trapezoidal blades, such as that described in record LVPL-EE11C2 are attributed to Type Endingen (Jockenhovel 1980: 171), but lack the strengthening rib. This object would therefore appear to have characteristics of both types. It has a smooth dark brown patina with patches of green. A similar example is described in BERK-3AA1B7. Length 49 mm, width 26 mm, thickness 4 mm, tappering to 1 mm and weight 13.4 g. Type Endinge razors have a primary distribution in the south of France with some small clusters along the Rhine and in central France (Jockenhovel 1980: Taf.55) Other examples, such as LVPL-EE11C2, have been designated of Regional Importance.

DENO-D58A4B: MOUNT
A corroded gilded copper alloy early medieval mount, dating to c. AD 500 - 600. The mount has a flat rectangular plate with tri-lobed projecting terminals at either end. The plate is corroded but has what appears to be a chip-carved zoomorphic motif of Salin style I. Within a raised border and between two columns or bars there are sinuous interlaced lines probably representing necks and limbs, but the corroded state of the plate makes identification of the design difficult. Traces of gilding remain on the front of the plate. The rear is undecorated with the stubs of two attachment spikes remaining, placed at either end of the plate. There are patches of corrosion material which may represent solder. Length 36 mm, width 12 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 4.1 g.

A uniface lead alloy token, probably of post medieval date (c. AD 1500 - 1750). The token is decorated with rows of raised pellets, arranged 1, 3 , 5, 3,1. This places it in Powell type 30, which includes groups of pellets. Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc, and are believed to have been locally produced Diameter 25 mm, thickness 1.3 mm and weight 5.35 g.

DENO-41CF36: STRAP FITTING
A complete cast copper alloy zoomorphic strap fitting or belt hook, dating to the post medieval period (c. AD 1550 - 1700). The fitting is S shaped and oval in cross-section. Moulded animal head terminals (possibly dragons, serpents or avians) are present at either end, curving in opposite directions. The heads have brow ridges and rounded snouts or beaks. At the centre of the S is a waisted area with a moulded double quatrefoil resembling the Tudor rose. One of the heads retains an oval section hoop around its neck, 2.9 mm thick, 12 mm diameter (exterior) with an open gap, without trace of solder or weld. Probably the original suspension loop. A similar form is illustrated in Read (2008, 230; No. 822-5), which possibly derives from a sword belt and for which suggests a post medieval date. Numerous similar artefacts are recorded on this database, including WMID-130F35, which also retains suspension loops. Length 38 mm, width 21 mm, thickness 4.5 mm and weight 13.5 g.

DENO-1B1D92: COIN

DENO-8665D8: COIN
A chipped and abraded post medieval coin, possibly a 'love token' (c. AD 1558 - 1702). Both faces are polished to the extent virtally no details can be seen, the faint outline of a square-topped shield can be discerned on the reverse. Edges are clipped, there is no sign of the bending often associated with love tokens. Dr Kevin Leahy notes in FAKL-A043BC: 'Love tokens' were made using coins dating from the time of Elizabeth I (AD 1558 - 1603) to the reign of Ann (AD 1702 - 1714) with some Georgian examples. They were particularly common in the reign of William III (AD 1694 - 1702). Diameter 15.9 mm, thickness 0.4 mm and weight 0.36 g.

DENO-862FEA: GAMING PIECE
A pierced post medieval gilt copper alloy milled imitation guinea depicting George III (AD 1760 - 1820), milled during the late 19th century (c. AD 1850 - 1900). Obverse: GEORGIVS·III DEI GRATIA·; George III, wearing a laureate wreath, facing right. Reverse: [...]·B·F·ET·H·REX·F·D·[...]ET·L·D·S·R·I·A·T·ET·[...]·1791·; Crowned spade shaped shield, with date of 1791 below. The shield bears four panels containing detailed rendering of rampant lions, harp and fleur de lys. The originals were nicknamed 'spade' guineas due to the shape of the shield. This object is broken into four fragments. There are peck marks on the obverse, possibly indicating the damage was deliberate. There also appears to be a piercing at the 12 o'clock position, directly above the King's head. Other spade guineas on the database have similar piercings, such as IOW-FBD3DB and YORYM-623E5C. Diameter ~ 25 mm, thickness 1.2 mm and weight 4.29 g. The Token Corresponding Society (https://thetokensociety.org.uk/imitation-spade-guineas/ - accessed 02/10/23) offers the following information on these imitations: There is an extensive series of over 1,000 different Imitation Spade Guineas, issued not in gold but in brass or bronze. Some are gilt which can make it look like gold and this does cause some confusion. They were mostly struck in the 1800's, during the reign of Queen Victoria, but to avoid the Counterfeit Laws they, usually, have the bust of King George III on the obverse and, usually, the reverse includes the spade shield, - hence the name "spade guinea". To qualify as an Imitation Spade Guinea a coin must have one or both of these aspects. Many coins are dated in the 1700's and not in the 1800's, to reinforce that they were not real currency guineas. The guineas range between 24 - 27mm diameter and the half guineas 20 - 22mm.

DENO-855C14: PENDANT
A copper alloy object, probably a harness pendant of medieval date (c. AD 1200 - 1500). The object is a disc shaped frame with recesses housing circular plates on each face. One plate is missing, traces of fixative may be seen within the recess. The other plate is in situ, it is abraded but comprises cells containing enamel arranged around an inner circle, which is itself divided into enamelled cells, with curving tendrils of wire creating a cloisonne effect. The enamel is much degraded but appears to be red and blue. A D-sectioned suspension loop, 4.5 mm wide, emerges from the rim of the frame and extends 14 mm before curving over at 90 degrees to the frame and terminating in an old break. Diameter is 23.4 mm, thickness 4.7 mm and weight 11.3 g.

DENO-846F7E: COIN
A gold, uninscribed Iron Age stater of the Catuvellauni, 'Middle Whaddon Chase, Big Wheel' type of the Eastern (North Thames) region; dating to the period c. 60 - 20 BC. Obverse: crossed wreaths, outline crescents back-to-back at centre. Reverse: horse right, wing motif above, wheel below. ABC p. 124, no. 2442, BMC nos. 331-335, VA 1487. Diameter 16.3 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 5.5 g.

DENO-5FF312: SPOON
A fragment of a copper alloy spoon of possible Roman date (c. AD 43 - 410). The fragment comprises most of the shallow bowl and a short length (8 mm) of the square sectioned stem.The bowl appears to be lozenge shaped, but the edge of one side and the tip are missing. There is no obvious weld or solder at the attachment, bowl and handle apparently formed as one piece. Overall length 29.4 mm, width 20.5 mm, thickness 1.2 mm and weight 2.4 g

DENO-5FA3A6: COIN
A Roman copper alloy nummus of Constans or Constantius II, dating to AD 348 - 351, Reece period 18. FEL TEMP REPARATIO reverse type, soldier spearing horseman. Mint unknown, the coin is worn. Diameter 13.7 mm, thickness 1.7 mm and weight 1 g.

DENO-5F682B: COIN
A Roman copper alloy sestertius of Antoninus Pious (AD 138 - 161). Reece period 9, unclear mint and moneyer. Obverse: ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P TR P COS III, laureate head right. Reverse: SALVS AVG S-C, Salus standing left, holding sceptre & extending patera to serpent rising from altar. Diameter 29.6 mm, thickness 3.7 mm, weight 21.2 g

DENO-5F37AA: AXEHEAD
A complete axe head of late neolithic date (c. 3000 - 2000 BC), hand knapped and pecked from a dark dense, probably igneous rock, although the original surface is hard to determine due to the abundance of peck marks. The axe is broadly a pointed oval in plan and is sub-oval (humped) in cross section. In plan the axe head tapers from a rounded cutting edge to a blunted point at the butt. In profile it is thickest at the mid-point and tapers towards the butt and cutting edge. The cutting edge is well formed, mostly intact except for small chips; the surface of the axe is pecked and rough in texture, but there is a more polished and smooth area around the front, extending from the cutting edge to strip extending along the 'hump' of the main body on both sides. It is not clear if this is a deliberate feature, or from handling and wear, or if the axe head is unfinished and abandoned prior to polishing. Length 117.9 mm, width 52.1 mm, thickness 31.1 mm and weight 318 g.

DENO-5DB533: FINGER RING
A complete cast copper alloy finger ring of probable Roman to early medieval date (c. AD 100 - 900). The hoop is broad and thick and flares to form a wide bezel which is decorated with numerous punched depressions. The overall effect is similar to that of early medieval finger rings such as that recorded as NMS-4F872C; however, on closer examination the decoration is not ring-and-dots, but simple hammered dots of varying size. There is no obvious weld or joint in the hoop, possibly the ring was cast as one object. The ring is complete but has been distorted into an elliptical shape. The original diameter was probably around 22 mm. Length 28.6 mm, width 17.55 mm, thickness 3.34 mm, height of bezel 14.25 mm and weight 12.81 g

DENO-5D1924: MOUNT
An incomplete cast copper alloy mount with enamel, of medieval date (c. AD 1200 - 1500). The mount is in the form of a heater shield shaped plaque with an heraldic blazon of chequers, five squares across and six deep. Traces of red enamel remain on alternate squares, the others may have been blue or possibly gilded. The back is undecorated and slightly concave. There is no obvious attachment, but each point of the shield has a corroded notch which may be the remains of rivet holes. The decoration may be related to the Arms of the Reynes family, which included chequy or and gules for family branches in Buckinghamshire, Nottinghamshire and possibly Yorkshire. It also occurs as part of the Arms of the Pierrepoint (variously spelled) and Bonet families of Kent and Sussex Length 35.1 mm, width 31.3 mm, thickness 2.5 mm and weight 8.75 g.

DENO-928921: STRAP FITTING
A cast, copper alloy strap slider, dating to the late Iron Age or Romano-British period (c. 100 BC - AD 100). The slider is in the form of a pointed oval, the decoration comprised of concentric circular grooves creating an eye motif. The outer ring was coated with red enamel and the centre with blue enamel; traces of the enamel survive. The surface has a mottled green patina, but there are areas of smooth, glossy surface suggesting plating or surface enrichments. On the back of the slider is an integral square sectioned rectangular loop measuring 27.6 mm by 10.6 mm high, rectangular in section, 3 mm thick. Overall length 29 mm, width 17 mm and weight 9.4 g.

DENO-815E06: KEY (LOCKING)
A complete lead alloy rotary key of probable post medieval date (c. AD 1500 - 1700). The key has a circular, D-sectioned openwork bow, 12 mm diameter, sub-rectangular shank, hollow at the end, and a T-shaped bit. There is an incised groove on the shank creating a collar below the bow. The size suggests this was a for a casket or similar locking container. Length 35 mm, width 6 mm, thickness 4 mm and weight 5.3 g.

DENO-80FCA9: COIN
An early medieval silver penny of Edward the Confessor (AD 1042-1066). Hammer Cross type, dating to c. AD 1059 - 1062. Uncertain moneyer, possibly York mint. North, volume I: 828. Diameter 18 mm, thickness 0.5 mm and weight 1.4 g.

DENO-BFBAC6: COIN
An early medieval silver penny of Archbishop Ceolnoth of Canterbury, (833-70), 'Inscribed Cross' type (aka 'Open Cross') dating to c.AD854-64, moneyer Hebeca, mint: Canterbury (North 245; Naismith C154). The coin is complete but cracked, the crack running along the line of the shoulders of the bust and the inner circle. Obverse: Tonsured bust facing. Reverse: Inscribed cross, letter in each angle. Diameter 19 mm, thickness 0.5 mm and weight 1.2 g. Pennies of Archbishop Ceolnoth are very rare as stray finds and this is only the third recorded by the PAS to date (March 2024; see KENT-EA792D and LEIC-D7641E). This is the first example of an 'Inscribed Cross' type penny of Ceolnoth recdorded by the PAS, and only the second of an issuer (see LON-55466F, a small hoard including an 'Inscribed Cross' type of Æthelberht of Wessex, 858-66).

DENO-6E93C3: THIMBLE
An incomplete copper alloy thimble, probably of late post-medieval date (c. AD 1750-1850). The thimble is made from a pressed sheet of copper alloy. It has a domed top and sides which taper gently to the base. The exterior is covered in successive rows of sub-oval-shaped pits that continue up the body of the thimble and across the top, and which probably have been machine-stamped. The thimble is damaged around the base, with a small piece missing, and does not appear to have a rim. The thimble is now distorted (slightly flattened), and the metal's surface has a smooth dark green patina. Diameter: 16 mm, height: 21 mm, thickness: 0.75 mm and weight: 3 g.

DENO-6E3679: SHOT
A complete cast lead alloy shot from a pistol or carbine, probably of post-medieval date (c. AD 1700-1850). The globular shot is well-cast but only partially trimmed, retaining some sprue around the casting seam; this shot, therefore, was probably not fired. The size indicates it was probably for use with a pistol or cavalry carbine, but it could also be used as a buck shot or large game shot. The metal's surface has a mid-grey patina with some very minor scratching and surface pitting. Diameter: 14 mm. and weight: 12 g.

DENO-6E18B3: GAMING PIECE
Two lead alloy discs, probably gaming pieces of post-medieval date (c. AD 1650-1850). Both of the discs are sub-circular in plan and uniface, decorated on one face with raised concentric circles around a central pellet. These discs were possibly tokens or tallies corresponding to Powell Type 31, but they also bear a resemblance to wooden game tokens used in draughts, Nine Men’s Morris, backgammon and other similar games and so could have been used as gaming pieces. The metal's surface on both has a mid-grey patina. Diameter: 18 mm, thickness: 2 mm and weight: 5.2 g (per each disc)

DENO-6DC674: MUSKET BALL
Two lead alloy musket balls of post-medieval date (c. AD 1650-1850). The balls are globular and well-formed. Each has had its sprue trimmed, leaving a slight stub. There are no obvious set up marks on the musket balls' surfaces, however both display deep dents, probably damage from animal grazing. Both musket balls are the same diameter and weight, and so possibly came from the same mould. The size of the shots suggests use with a short musket or carbine. The metal's surface for both shows a mid-grey patina. Diameter: 16 mm and weight: 23 g. (per each musket ball).

DENO-6DA25C: SHOT
A cast lead alloy object, probably a plug shot of post-medieval date (c. AD 1650-1850). The object comprises two semi-cylindrical slugs, each with one domed end and one flattened end, joined by a short sprue. Although co-joined double shots were used with muzzle loading fire arms, it is more likely this object represents two slugs that have not been trimmed and cleaned after casting. The semi-cylindrical, more bullet-like shape of the joined parts may indicate a later 18th to 19th century date for this object. The metal's surface has an irregular light grey and cream-coloured patina. Overall length: 27 mm, individual lengths: 13 mm, diameter: 14 mm and weight: 24.3 g.

DENO-6D6F39: TOKEN
A complete cast lead alloy disc, possibly a tally or token, or a gaming piece, which is probably post-medieval in date (c. AD 1600-1850). The disc is sub-circular in plan. One face is undecorated, and the other face has a shallow concave depression in centre from which radiate two deep scores, although these may be damage resulting from encounters with agricultural machinery in the plough soil. The metal's surface has a light-mid grey patina. Diameter: 21 mm, thickness: 3 mm and weight: 7.5 g.

DENO-6D4288: TOKEN
A complete cast lead alloy uniface token or tally of medieval to post-medieval date (c. AD 1500-1850), corresponding to Powell Type 7. It is sub-circular in plan with undecorated reverse face and obverse face decorated with a grided or cross-hatched pattern. The metal's surface is worn and has a light grey patina. Diameter: 21 mm, thickness: 3 mm and weight: 6.8 g.

DENO-6D2CA8: SHOT
A complete but distorted cast lead alloy capstan or 'bobbin' shot of post-medieval date (c. AD 1600-1800). The object is broadly circular in section and hourglass-shaped, with flattened terminals and a short, concave waist in centre. The object is slightly distorted, bent to one side, and has some small dents in its surface, probably due to chewing by grazing animals. The patina is a patchy white and grey colour. Length: 21 mm, diameter: 17 mm and weight: 35.5 g.

DENO-6CECE9: TOKEN
A complete cast lead alloy uniface token of post-medieval date (c. AD 1600-1850), corresponding to Powell Type 2. The token is circular in plan. The obverse face has a raised capital letter 'H' in the centre, which is surrounded by abraded pellets. The reverse is flat and undecorated. Diameter: 19 mm, thickness: 2.5 mm and weight 5.7 g.

DENO-6CABA2: COIN
A medieval silver half-groat of Henry VI (AD 1422 - 1461), first reign, annulet issue dating to AD 1422 - 1427. Minted in Calais. North 1429. Diameter 21 mm, thickness 0.4 mm weight 1.6 g

DENO-DAB250: COIN
A silver penny of William I (AD 1066 - 1087), dating to c. AD 1080 - 1083. Cross and Trefoil type. North 847. The coin seems unusually thick and coarse, with a waxy texture; possible modern copy. Diameter 19 mm, thickness 1 mm and weight 1.38 g.

DENO-D9AC7E: COIN
Gold quarter noble of Henry VI, Class C (N1420), dating AD 1422-1427. Obverse has a shield quartered with the arms of England and France, with a lis above, all within a tressure of eight arches. The legend reads hEnRIC DI GRA REX ANGL with trefoil stops and a lis after HENRIC. Reverse has a floriated cross with a lis at the end of each limb, in each angle a lion passant guardant, with a lis at the centre, all within a tressure of eight arches. The legend reads EXALTABITVR IN GLORIA with mullet and annulet stops. The coin is distorted by several dents and creases; these do not appear to be deliberate folds and are probably post-depositional damage.

DENO-9BA4C2: COIN
A silver Roman republican denarius, issued by moneyer P. Satrienus, dating to 77 BC (Reece period 1). Mint of Rome. Obverse shows helmeted head of Roma, test marks unclear but includes XXX. Reverse shows she-wolf left: ROMA//P.SATRIENVS. RRC p. 403, no. 388/1b Diameter 16.5mm and weight 3.4 g.

DENO-89C091: BELL
A copper alloy fragment of an everted rim of post medieval date (c. AD 1600 - 1800), possibly from a vessel but probably from a bell. The exterior is decorated with incised circumferential lines, one 5 mm up from the rim, and a pair 6 mm above that. The curvature of the fragment suggests a diameter of the mouth of the bell/vessel of approximately 80 mm. Length 88 mm, thickness 4 mm and weight 22.9 g.

DENO-77BCF5: COIN
A gold Iron Age coin. An uninscribed Lindsey Scyphate quarter stater, later Iron Age issue of Haselgrove Period 2 Phase 6 (c. 50 - 20 BC). ABC no. 1770. Considered as 'rare' by Rudd et al. 2010. Obverse description: Stylised boar right, with a double line of pellets for its bristling back, a pair of curved ladders for its body, and with a pellet-ended X below its body. Further pellets, similar to those considered as bristles, recur below the X. Reverse description: An S-shaped scroll enclosing a ring in each of its loops, an X with pellet ends joined by lines to right and three pellets to the left of the S, a partial border of pellets and a double pelleted curved motif around the outer perimeter of the flan. Diameter 20 mm, thickness 0.7 mm and weight 1.4 g.

DENO-74FFE1: BROOCH
A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman brooch, Colchester derivative (c. AD 45 - 100). The cylindrical wings enclose the spring mechanism, one wing is damaged exposing the corroded mechanism, the pin is missing, The head is bulbous and appears undecorated, although it is much abraded and has a thick, dusty brown patina. Only the upper part of the bow remains; D-sectioned and tapering, it terminates in an old break. Width 34 mm, length 22 mm, thickness 6 mm and weight 11.4 g.

DENO-74A1DA: TOKEN
A cast lead alloy uniface token of probable post medieval date (c. AD 1500 - 1800). The token is a disc with a moulded rim, and decoration in the form of a concentric circle, creating an outer band ~6 mm broad which is filled with outward pointing triangles, each containing a raised pellet, This may represent the rays of a solar disc or a star, Powell type 26, or the petals of a flower, Powell type 1. The segments between rays/petal each have a single pellet, except one which has three pellets arranged in an inverted triangle. The inner circle has a large, 4 mm diameter central pellet, surrounded by four inward pointing wedges creating a cruciform shape. The whole pattern is slightly off centre, but otherwise crisply cast. The abundant pellets and the border around a central motif may be echoing the design of coins such as groats or half groats, but the actual purpose of such tokens is unclear, with a wide variety of potential uses such as use as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. Those which carry stylised designs remain difficult to date but the majority are probably post medieval in date c. AD 1500 - 1800. (Powell, D (2012)The 18th century Sophistication of the Stock Design. Lead Token Telegraph Issue 86.) Diameter 35 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 16.8 g.

DENO-4E0CBD: BUTTON
A complete cast lead alloy button with integral lug, dating to the post medieval period (c. AD 1600 - 1700). The button is domed,w ith a pellet at the appex from which radiate ten spokes. At the approximate midpoint of the hemisphere is a circle, bisecting all spokes to form a possible water mill pattern. The reverse is flat, with a casting seam running across the diameter. Centrally placed is a U-shaped attachment lug, which is intact but bent over to one side. Buttons of similar form are illustrated in Read (2010) p.77-78, though with a variety of decorative styles. They are generally found in 16th to 17th century contexts. Diameter 21 mm, thickness 7 mm and weight 17.5 g.

DENO-4DAD18: COIN
An extremely worn, medieval, silver voided long cross cut farthing, probably of Henry III (AD 1216 - 1272). Uncertain class, dating to AD 1247 - 1279. Uncertain moneyer or mint. Length 9mm, width 9mm, thickness 0.5 mm and weight 0.23 g.

DENO-4CE4A7: TOKEN
A uniface cast lead alloy token of medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1400 - 1650). The decorated face shows an open hexafoil 'daisy wheel' design (Baylis type 16). The petals are slightly asymmetric, with one arc superimposing over others. The hexfoil is set within a border, the border has raised line markings possibly intended to simulate lettering. The disc has two neat circular perfoations, 2 mm diameter, either side of the centre of the hexfoil. These are currently blocked with debris but run through to the reverse, and were for attachment. The relatively large size, 32 mm diameter, and the two perforations, question whether this object is indeed a token, or if it is intended for use as a badge or button. The daisy wheel design was considered apotropaic, so use as a worn token or badge is possible. Fletcher (2003) notes that the open-petal 'daisy wheel' design persists for many centuries, but suggests that geometric patterns generally appear post AD 1400. It is 31.77 mm in diameter and 3.27 mm thick. It weighs 16.93 g.

DENO-4B9735: BUTTON
A complete cast lead alloy button likely dating to the medieval period (c. AD 1300 - 1500). The button has a circular head, the face of which presents a cruciform pattern formed by recessed quarters. A small triangle protrudes into each quarter from the outer edge. The reverse is undecorated and presents a raised rib through which a hole is pierced for attachment; this is slightly damaged and distorted. There is also a dent to the circumference. The object has a dark grey patina. Diameter 28 mm, thickness 5 mm and weight 22.6 g. Similar objects are described on the database such as, SWYOR-4BC21C and WMID-CAE4DF which cites DENO-6AA855 and WAW-7ECF06. They are considered to be late medieval in date.

DENO-4B5A01: BUCKLE
A copper alloy, double loop buckle of post medieval date (c. AD 1690 - 1720). It has a sub-rectangular frame with moulded decoration, divided into two D shaped loops by a separate, central iron bar which is now corroded. The bar is held in drilled holes in the frame. The remains of a pin and buckle plate (stud chape) are in place, the pin wrapped the bar. The plate is incomplete and the stud end has been snapped off. Length 22.7 mm, width 15.5 mm, thickness 5.0 mm and weight 3.4 g.

DENO-F92E5D: MEDALLION
Milled commemorative medallion, pierced at 12 o’clock, related to the career of Guiseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882). The object is in poor condition, corroded and with chips along the circumference. Obverse shows bust left, [-]L 23 JULY 1807 GARIBALDI. Reverse depicts laurel wreath enclosing indeterminate legend over two or more lines. A similar object in better condition is recorded as NLM-19B3F2, the description notes:- 'This token commemorates the birth of Garibaldi on 4th July 1807 and the independence of Italy in 1860 so presumably it dates from around this time. The following link gives more info including the correct inscription details Token - Garibaldi Nice - France – Numista.' Diameter 12 mm, thickness 0.3 mm, weight 0.5 g

DENO-CC9A06: SPINDLE WHORL

DENO-CC3F7F: SPINDLE WHORL
A complete lead weight or spindle whorl of medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1200 - 1750). The object is cylindrical, sub-circular in plan, with a circular central perforation 9 mm in diameter. Both upper and lower surfaces are flat and undecorated. The object has a cream coloured patina with some indentations, probably post depositional. Diameter 25 mm, height 9 mm and weight 32.1 g.

DENO-CBFA6A: WEIGHT
A cast lead alloy weight, probable spindle whorl of late medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1300 - 1700). The weight is an irregular hexagonal shape, with traces of an outer rim, which suggests the hexagonal shape is intentional rather than a casting error or denting. The weight has one flat and one convex face. The convex face may have had moulded decoration but is very abraded and damaged with dents and gouges, probably post-depositional, so this is difficult to confirm. There is a sub-circular, off centre perforation, 7 mm diameter. Diameter 23 mm, height 5.8 mm and weight 20.27 g. Hexagonal merchant weights are recorded on this database, cf YORYM-D21FA8, NLM-8B49B9 without a central perforation. It is possible this is a repurposed casting from such a mould.

A worn and clipped hammered silver coin. From the diameter (16 mm) it is possibly a half groat of Elizabeth I (AD 1558-1603), dating c. AD 1590 - 1592. Both surfaces appear to have been deliberately polished so that all details are removed. The obverse is completely obscured, on the reverse a flat-topped shield overlaid by a cross can be faintly seen, with some traces of lettering. Diameter 16 mm, thickness 0.8 mm and weight 0.7 g. It is possible that the coin was polished in preparation for use as a love-token, however there is no evidence of bending.

DENO-506272: THIMBLE
A cast lead alloy object. probably a leather-worker's palm guard dating from about AD 1600 - 1900. It is oval in plan, and although distorted by bending has a plano-convex section. There is a cast circumferential indentation on the flatter side, with an irregular exurge extending beyond. The other surface has two circular pits or indents, 11 mm diameter and 2 mm deep, these are characteristic of these palm guards; see SWYOR-0E1FDB and SWYOR-C2F9E6. There are several cracks running across the guard and through these indents. The object has a buff patina. Length 72.84 mm, width 52.41 mm, thickness 5.81 mm and weight 166.67 g.

DENO-50178D: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead musket ball of post medieval date (c. AD 1620 - 1750). The ball is well formed, the sprue and casting seam are very neatly trimmed. The ball has a thick dusty white patina and has some small grooves and scratches which may be post-depositional. There are no obvious set up marks, the ball does not appear to have been fired. The weight, 28.2 g, fits that of balls used in smooth bore muskets, Diameter 18.5 mm.

DENO-4F73F4: MUSKET BALL
A post medieval to early modern (c. AD 1620 - 1850 ) cast lead ball probably intended for use with a pistol, small calibre carbine or possibly as buck shot (large game shot). The shot still has the entire casting sprue attached, including several runs of casting spill bent and curled back over the sprue, and a pronounced casting seam. It would seem this ball was lost or discarded shortly after casting and the sprue and seam were never trimmed. The entire object has an off-white patina. Diameter 12 mm and weight 11.9 g.

DENO-4F584D: MUSKET BALL
A post medieval to early modern (c. AD 1620 - 1850) cast lead ball from a pistol or possibly used as buck shot (large game shot). The shot is well formed with a small sprue scar and a casting seam. There is some denting and gouging on the surface which may be 'set up marks', due to compaction against other shot or the barrel, but could also be post-depositional damage. Diameter 11 mm and weight 8 g.

DENO-4E503D: SPINDLE WHORL
An assemblage of four lead spindle whorls or loom weights of medieval to post medieval date, Walton Rogers Form B (c. AD 1100 - 1600). The spindle whorls are cylindrical, circular in plan, with a well-formed circular (9 mm diameter) perforation, in one case slightly off-centre. The whorls are undecorated. In one whorl there is a groove running from the central perforation towards the outer edge, it is not clear if this is accidental damage or wear indicating suspension. Diameter 27 -29 mm, with one whorl being noticeably smaller at 21 mm. Thickness is fairly consistent at ~ 4 mm and weight 10.9 g - 18. 7 g.

DENO-4E17D3: SPINDLE WHORL
A complete lead spindle whorl of medieval to post medieval date (c AD 1100 - 1600), Walton Rogers Form B. The spindle whorl is plano-convex, with a circular (9 mm diameter) central perforation running through it. Both surfaces appear undecorated but have a very thick powdery white patina which may obscure abraded decoration. There are several dents and gashes to the surfaces. Diameter 27 mm, thickness 6 mm and weight 21.7 g.

DENO-4D7F79: SPINDLE WHORL
A complete lead spindle whorl of medieval to post medieval date (c AD 1100 - 1600), Walton Rogers Form C. The spindle whorl is bi-conical with a circular (9 mm diameter) central perforation running through it. Both surfaces have moulded decoration, in the form of chevrons and pellets enclosed in lozenges. There is a thick, 5 mm, circumferential rim. The object has a thick white patina. Diameter 36 mm, thickness 9 mm and weight 45.9 g.

DENO-D1DBAB: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A cast lead alloy object of uncertain function and date. The object is comprised of two hollow cast sans serif letters R F, forming a square block. The edges are worn but the object appears complete. The letters are reversed, when viewed from the raised, convex side both R and F are facing backwards. The hole in the loop of the R perforates through the object. There is no substantial border but the edges are curved inwards, possibly the object formed a lid of some kind. The object has a dusty buff patina. Height 29 mm, width 28 mm, thickness 4 mm and weight 21 g.

DENO-D12D4B: NET SINKER
A complete lead alloy weight of medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1400 - 1700). The object is flat and asymmetrical, undecorated and with an elliptical off centre perforation. Probably used as a net weight or sinker. Length 35 mm, width 31 mm, thickness 4 mm and weight 26.7 g.

DENO-D069AA: WEIGHT
A lead alloy steelyard weight, probably of Roman date (c. AD 43 - 410). The object is roughly spherical but has several dents and deep gouges, and flattened facets probably due to post depositional damage. The iron wire suspension loop survives. The object weighs 216.4 g, comparable to the 219 g of the Bessis, 2/3 of a Roman pound. Diameter 31mm and height 39 mm.

DENO-CF9D61: TOKEN
A lead alloy token or weight of medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1450 - 1650). The object is a uniface disc of dark grey metal with a raised circumferential rim, decorated with two raised concentric circles and pellets. There is a large central pellet with smaller pellets arranged in a cruciform pattern. The pattern echoes the reverse of some Tudor base silver coins. Powell type 31. Diameter 29 mm, thickness 4 mm and weight 19.4 g.

DENO-9313EE: TOY
A complete but damaged post medieval lead alloy toy hornbook (c. AD 1600 - 1650). The object comprises a rectangular plaque of lead alloy with the alphabet laid out in raised lower case moulded letters arranged horizontally across four rows, with a raised line between each row. The middle of the the second row is abraded, but the letter J appears to be missing, this is common on early hornbooks of this type and is suggestive of a date earlier in the 17th century, when I was commonly used to represent J. The letter Z is also ommitted, with the last row ending with Y. The handle is present but bent back behind the plaque. It is approximately 24 mm in length and 6 mm wide, with a rectangular section, with a triangular terminal knop. The hornbook is dented and has a tear on the bottom edge. The hornbook measures 34 mm wide, 38 mm high, 3 mm thick, weighing 28.9 g. Hornbooks, originally made from horn, were used as teaching aids. It is suggested these small lead alloy versions were toys rather than serious tools for teaching literacy.

DENO-921A84: COIN

A complete medieval copper alloy harness pendant dating from c. AD 1189 - 1399. The pendant is a "heater" shield shaped type (flat top with sides sloping steeply to a point). There is a suspension lug rising from the top of the shield, with a drilled circular hole set at 90 degrees to the pendant. The front face of the pendant shows heraldic decoration, consisting of three passant lions left with paws raised. There are traces of red enamel in the background. In heraldic terms this blazon would be described as 'gules, three lions passant guardant'. The reverse is plain and undecorated. Length 44 mm, width 26 mm, thickness 2 mm and weight 10.7 g. This harness pendant depicts the Arms of England from the reign of Richard I to the establishment of the Lancastrian Dynasty in AD 1399.

DENO-27DD68: PADLOCK
An incomplete copper alloy spring padlock of medieval to post-medieval date (c. AD 1400-1600). It is sub-oval in overall plan. At one side is an elongated hollow case that is octagonal in section. The case is damaged and corroded, but there appear to be traces of raised rectilinear decoration on some facets. Part of the case is missing, revealing the internal double-leaf spring. There are single narrow arms projecting across from either end of this case, which have rectangular-sectioned shanks and are attached to hexagonal tubes. These smaller, hexagonal tubes accommodate a circular-sectioned bar which curves down and back upwards in a U-shape to attach to a bolt at the base of the octagonal case. The circular-section U-element bar has three small rectangular knobs projecting outwards at regular intervals. The padlock's key appears to be in situ, inserted into a hollow in the octagonal chamber. At the opposite end of the U-element, a narrow, circular-section loop projects from that end of the case. Overall length: 61 mm, width: 26 mm, thickness: 11 mm and weight: 24.5 g.

DENO-266E9E: COIN
A highly corroded disc of copper alloy, probably a contemporary copy of a Roman radiate or nummus dating c. AD 200 - 410. Uncertain ruler and mint. Diameter 17 mm, thickness 1 mm and weight 1.3 g.

DENO-2635B5: BROOCH
A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman bow and fantail brooch, dating to the period c. AD 75 - 150. The lower part of the bow, the fantail, and catchplate are missing. Part of the head remains, with short tubular wings housing the remnants of the axis bar and a loop of the pin, the major part of the pin is missing. From the top of the head a rectangular plate emerges which would have had an attachment loop, but now terminates in an old break. The front of the head tapers to a narrow D-sectioned bow, separated by a collar from a wide circular panel. The panel is decorated with a five spoked wheel at the centre of which is a separate rounded knop-headed rivet. To the reverse of the panel the corroded rivet can be seen. Worn rectangular projections are present to either side of the panel. The D-sectioned bow continues below the wheel panel, and would have flared into a fantail, but terminates in a break. Length 35 mm, width 17 mm, thickness 4 mm, weight 6.6 g A similar brooch is illustrated in Hattatt, fig 189, number 986.

DENO-FFE730: SEAL MATRIX
An incomplete seal matrix, probably of post medieval to modern date (c. AD 1750 - 1900). The object is of the pedestal type. The matrix itself is in the shape of a heater shield, the pedestal is swept back from this to form an irregular hexagonal shaft which terminates in a blunt, apparently unbroken stub. On either side of this stub is a circular indent with a central raised dot, indicating that some kind of hinge mechanism was attached at this point. So the surviving element is probably part of a fob arrangement, possibly attached to a gentleman's watch chain. The pedestal is carved from a dense, dark green stone, possible serpentenite or jade. The shield-shaped front is enclosed by a collar of yellow metal, probably gold, although there is no hallmark. The matrix itself is very intricate, the shield is divided into 18 square and sub-square areas or quarterings each containing heraldic arms. It is probable this is intended to represent families connected by marriage. Width 14 mm, length 21 mm, height 16 mm and weight 3.4 g.

DENO-FF0DF5: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman headstud brooch dating c. AD 75-200 and corresponding to Mackreth headstud type 5. On the outer surface, short stepped wings lie at either side of the head which is adorned with a cast raised annulet headstud. This annulet may have once been filled with enamel, but this is no longer visible. Below this annulet, the D-shape sectioned bow tapers gently to the stepped foot. The foot is preceeded by a series of half-round mouldings and terminates in a flat, half-round foot knob. Between the brooch's head and foot, the outer face is decorated with a verical row of lozenge-shaped mouldings with triangular recesses on either side containing enamel infill. These enamel fields are now damaged and discoloured. The lozege-shaped and triangular motifs are framed by two narrow longitudinal grooves down the length of the bow. On the brooch's inner face, behind the wings and head, the hinge mechanism is enclosed in a sub-cylindrical tube which has a central slot to accomodate the hinged pin. The pin is in place on the axis bar behind the head, but it is broken with most of the pin beyond the hinged portion now missing. The catchplate runs about half the length of the bow down to the base of the foot, although it is broken in a worn break, missing its return. The brooch is capped by an integrally-cast headloop which is also now broken and missing its upper half. The metal's surface has and irregular dark green/brown patina with some light patches of pale green corrosion. Length: 44 mm, width: 14.9 mm, thickness: 4 mm. and weight: 8.1 g. A similar example is illustrated in Mackreth, Plate 72, No 7298.

A complete cast copper alloy dress hook of post medieval date (c. AD 1500 - 1700). The dress hook is of Reads' Class E, Type 3. The dress hook is circular in plan with a rectangular attachment loop. The body of the dress hook has a central equal armed cross with a raised central pellet within a linear circle. Each quarter has openwork decoration in the form of a quatrefoil of circular holes. In one quarter the innermost hole is infilled, probably a casting error. The edge of the linear circle is beaded. The hook is intact and pointed, it curves backwards and is slightly distorted, being squeezed closed. Length 36 mm, width 16 mm, thickness 1.5 mm and weight 2.4 g. Read (2008: 90) no 370 is a close parallel and similar examples of this type on the database include OXON-528D35, OXON 50D844 and BERK-4F4421.

DENO-92B586: TOKEN
An incomplete cast lead alloy uniface token of late medieval to post-medieval date (c. AD 1400-1800). The token is discoid with a slightly uneven circumference. The design on its decorated obverse face is a six-spoked cartwheel with pellets on three of the spokes, which corresponds to Powell type 3c. There is a small triangular hole in one segment near the rim; it is not apparent if this is due to wear, mis-casting or a deliberate puncture post-manufacture. The reverse is undecorated and flat. The object has a mid-grey patina. Diameter 19.4 mm, thickness 1.8 mm and weight 1.8 g.

DENO-6BAB4B: PENCIL
A complete cast lead alloy stylus or pencil of medieval to post-medieval date (c. AD 1200-1600). The object has a rounded-hexagon section shape, and tapers to a rounded point at one end. Near to the other end, there appears to be a constriction of the shaft with an indentation or blind hole on one side; whether this is accidental damage or deliberately manufactured as a way to retain the stylus in some holder is unclear. The metal has an irregular light grey/cream-coloured patina. Length: 43.5 mm, diameter: 6 mm and weight: 16.7 g. Similar examples recorded on the PAS database include: HAMP-C8365B, LVPL-B6D0C3 and WMID-45D01C.

DENO-6B5D36: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman Colchester derivative brooch dating c. AD 75-175. The short, stepped, tubular wings are semi-circular in cross-section and capped with pierced 'wing plates' at either end to fix the axis bar in place. Behind the wings are the corroded remains of the Polden Hill style spring mechanism with at least nine turns of the spring visible. The squared head of the brooch extends out from the wings and tapers gently downwards in a shallow curved bow which results in a D-shape profile for the brooch. The outer face of the bow is decorated with two long parallel recessed cells containing coloured enamel; the enamel is now degraded but appears to have alternated rectangles of red and white. To either side of these cells, the bow is adorned with thin linear mouldings which extend down the bow's remaining length. The bow terminates in an old break before the foot. The pin and most of the catchplate are missing. The metal has a dark brown, glossy patina. This example is comparable to Mackreth 2011, plate 68, nos. 2215, 12064, and 2229.

(See Bagseals.org gallery; Unique Identification Number - BSG.CS.01999) Diameter 20.6 mm, thickness 4.5 mm and weight 8.3 g.

DENO-1AA324: BROOCH
A copper alloy fragment, probably from a strip brooch of early Roman date (c. AD 25 - 100). The surviving fragment is of tapering ovate shape, with a flat section. Both ends terminate in breaks so the overall original form is hard to discern; the object appears to curve slightly to one side so it is possible the brooch may have had a sinuous, S-shape. The front is decorated with vertical ridges, the outer edges have a series of circular cells tightly abutting and partially terminated by the edge. The reverse is undecorated and houses a hinge or spring mechanism, a raised rib perforated by a corroded iron structure.

DENO-19CC3A: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A cast, decorated copper alloy fragment, domed with decoration in the form of four arches forming a cruciform shape. within each arch is a crescent with feathered edges and two small dark glassy inserts, possibly gems or beads of glass, creating the impression of eyes in a lunate face. There is a similar insert at each point of the cross formed by the arches. There is also a central circular cell on the top of the dome, which appears to have also had such an insert, however this is damaged and distorted. The circumferential edge is chipped and broken, the reverse is concave and seems to be lined with some dark material, possibly adhesive. The object could be the central boss of an umbonate plate brooch (AD 1st - 3rd century). Other possibilities include a button cap or ferrule of post medieval date. Diameter 18 mm, height 6 mm and weight 4.5 g.

DENO-890605: DAGGER
A cast copper alloy fragment, possibly part of a medieval or early post medieval dagger quillion or cross-guard, dating c. AD 1450 - 1600. The quillion has a blunt knop-shapped terminal on an oval-sectioned arm which curves and broadens to a flatter central area, which accommodates a rectangular hole, to receive the tang. Only one half of this survives; the object terminates at this point with abraded, patinated breaks. There is a groove leading into the hole on one face. Overall length 71 mm, width 9 mm, thickness 4 mm and weight 19.5 g.

DENO-343879: COIN
A complete but very worn copper alloy Roman sestertius of unclear 1st to 3rd century AD ruler, potentially from the reign of Marcus Aurelius (AD 161 - 180) and dating to AD 172 - 174 (Reece Period 8). Uncertain reverse type. Diameter 28 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 8.9 g.

DENO-32FF64: FINGER RING

DENO-329B77: AMPULLA
An incomplete cast lead alloy ampulla of medieval date (c. AD 1300 - 1500). The neck and suspension lugs are missing. The pouch-like body terminates in a ragged and apparently old break. There is moulded decoration on both faces but it is very abraded and difficult to see. There is possibly a Bishop's mantle and Mitre, indicating a link with the shrine of Thomas Becket. Weight 20.3 g, diameter 32 mm and thickness 4 mm.

DENO-32270D: SEAL MATRIX
A cast lead seal matrix of medieval date (late 12th or 13th century, c. AD 1150 - 1300). The object is pointed-oval (sometimes called vesica-shaped). The central motif is a fleur-de-lis. The legend is worn, dirty and indistinct, and appears to read: SIGILL WILELMI, with a curve after the I that may be an apostrophe, then three further letters that may read POR or FOR. It seems certain, though, that the seal is that of a man with the first name William. The reverse has the remains of a rib with a complete integrally cast suspension lug at the top. Weight 13 g, length 27 mm, width 19 mm and thickness 4 mm.

DENO-20A3AF: WEIGHT
A lead alloy weight probably of medieval date (c. AD 1100 - 1400). The object is shield-shaped: a blunted triangle in plan, roughly rectangular in section. The surface is worn and dented but three lions passant are discernible. See also Biggs and Withers 2000, p 37 fig 85. Weight 91.7 g (approximately 3 Troy ounces), length 55 mm, width 46 mm and thickness 6 mm. Similar shield-shaped trade weights have been recorded on the database and dated to the medieval period: DENO-29B991 and SOM-EA1CD5.

DENO-201E64: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A cast copper alloy object, possibly the terminal of a handle of post medieval date (c. AD 1700 - 1800). A square sectioned shaft broadens into a cone or horn, decorated with incised lines, from which emerge two serpentine necks, with a flattened D-shaped section, each curving outwards then recurving to form an anchor-shaped hook or handle. The terminals are zoomorphic with dragonesque or aquiline heads. Feathers or scales are represented by incised lines, as are the eyes and nostrils. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The shaft tapers and terminates in an old break. The object bears a superficial resemblance to an early medieval girdle-hanger, however the decorative style and direction of the terminals is not consistent with this identification. No exact parallels have been found on this database, but objects with generally similar form are recorded in SWYOR-5041D2 and LVPL-AE83A3, where it is suggested they could be the handle of pastry jiggers. It is possible the object could be a handle from a fireside set, such as a cinder shovel or poker. Width 86 mm, length 95 mm, thickness 6 mm and weight 59.7 g.

DENO-1DD788: COIN
A complete Iron Age gold stater of British inscribed North Eastern (Corieltavi) Three line type, dating to the period 30 - 50 BC. Obverse shows wreath with cloak and crescents.

DENO-F512DB: MOUNT
A copper alloy post medieval openwork mount (c. AD 1675 - 1715). It appears to have the form of a rosette or flower with eight petals (octofoil) with the petals at the cardinal points being slightly larger. These larger petals, however, are actually formed of deaths-heads. There is a square hole in the centre, possibly for attachment. The Death's Head motif was especially favoured in the later 17th and early 18th centuries. The object is damaged, with fragments of two petals missing. Diameter 33 mm, thickness 1.5 mm and weight 4.3 g.

DENO-F4A8BE: SURGICAL INSTRUMENT
A fragment of a copper alloy object, possibly a surgical or toilet instrument of Roman date (c. AD 43 - 410). The object has an oval-sectioned stem which appears to have the begining of a barley-sugar twist before terminating in an apparently old break. The object then flares out to form an asymmetrical plate with a drilled and counter-sunk central perforation. On one surface a groove or channel runs along the plate from this perforation to the terminal edge, another break. The plate tapers in thickness towards this edge. There is a narrow gap running from the perforation to the outer edge of the plate, it is not clear if this is an accidental crack or part of the design. The barley-sugar twist is suggestive of a Roman implement, see NLM-0A5AD6, but the precise function cannot be discerned from this fragment. Length 27 mm, width 9 mm, thickness 4 mm tapering to 1 mm and weight 3.5 g.

DENO-F43621: COIN
A Roman silver denarius of Domitian (AD 81 - 96), dating from AD 95 (Reece period 4). Minerva on rostrum column reverse. Mint of Rome. RIC II, Part 1 (second edition) Domitian 771. Diameter 18.5 mm, thickness 2 mm and weight 3.2 g.

The head of the brooch is a flared oval with a central rib, decorated with thin incised lines on either side, the neck of the brooch has a sub-lozenge shaped section. The reverse of the head has a mass of iron corrosion probably representing the remains of the spring mechanism. The 'knee' of the brooch has a knop which is comprised of a thick central disc, with a thin moulding above and below, separated from head and foot by wide flute. The bow tapers and terminates in an old break, the foot is missing, the fragmentary remains of the catchplate can be seen on the reverse. Overall length 49 mm, width at head 16 mm and weight 25.2 g.

DENO-F37921: SPEARHEAD
An incomplete copper alloy socketed spearhead probably dating from the late Bronze age period (c. 1150 - 750 BC). The tip is missing, a patinated break runs diagonally across the upper part of the object. The spearhead has a leaf-shaped blade with a conical, circular-sectioned socket running the entire length of the surviving part of the blade, tapering towards the tip. The lower part is also missing, with a break extending into the socket. It is not possible to determine if the spearhead was pegged or looped, although the general form is consistent with the pegged type, see plate 37, Rowlands (1976). The surfaces have a typical green patina. No decoration can be seen on the surviving areas. Overall length 81 mm, width 42 mm, thickness at midrib 11 mm (tapering) and weight 53 g.

DENO-A01E60: COIN
A silver voided short cross medieval penny, probably of Richard I (AD 1189 - 1199). Possibly class III, Coldwine at Canterbury dating to c. AD 1190 - 1194. Diameter 17.29 mm, thickness 0.81 mm and weight 1.6 g.

DENO-9FC1A2: SEAL MATRIX
A cast lead alloy seal matrix of medieval date (c. AD 1300 - 1450). The object is oval shaped, incised on one face. The reverse has central rib, and a suspension lug, now flattened. The central motif is sprig of leaves or multi-petalled flower; ten elliptical leaves arranged asymmetrically. The legend reads Si ROBERT I N [+ I A ...N]. The right edge is distorted and difficult to read. The object has a dusty cream patina. Similar objects on this database include NMS-30C3C4. Length 33.7 mm, width 23.9 mm, thickness 3.26 mm and weight 15.5 g.

DENO-9EACA6: SWORD
An incomplete cast copper alloy sword or dagger pommel dating to the period c. AD 900-1100. The pommel is broadly triangular in shape and is of lobed form, with a hollow interior. The base curves upwards towards the outer edges. The pommel is divided into five lobes, increasing in size from the edges to the centre, each separated from its neighbour by a groove. One outer lobe is damaged as is the apex of the central lobe. Record DEV-AB1C91 describes a very similar object, identified as of English origin (Davidson 1962, 55-6), but called 'Viking' and 'of late Viking style' by Oakeshott (1991, 78 and 81). Late early-medieval pommels (Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Scandinavian) were last thoroughly studied by Petersen (1919). This example is a variant of Petersen's Type L, a fusion of Anglo-Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon fashions, and dates to the 10th or 11th century. Length 45 mm, height 27.11 mm, width 16 .4 mm, weight 35.3 g

DENO-8A3129: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch, probably dating to the period c. AD 100-150. The brooch has an oval shaped flat head surmounted by a disc-shaped head stud. The stud has dished decoration with a raised central pellet, the upper part of the disc is missing. The stud may have held enamel, though now trace now remains. The head has back projecting semi-circular support lugs, one now broken, with drilled holes which would have held the spring support bar. The rear of the head is concave. The circular sectioned bow emerges from the front of the head and curves to a raised knee with collars above and below. The lower part of the bow is smooth and tapers to a foot with a bulbous knop. The catch plate is triangular and mostly intact. Length 69 mm, width 18 mm, thickness 11 mm, weight 24.9 g No precise parallel can be found in Mackreath, but similar forms are shown on plates 82 & 83. The brooch is likely a Collingwood Group R (i) variant dating to the first half of the Second Century (Mitford 1964, 18), and current in the Welsh military area. The trumpet brooch is distinctive to Britain, and relates only to areas occupied by legions from Pannonia and the Rhineland (Collingwood & Richmond 1969, 297).

DENO-89B82E: BRACELET
An incomplete Roman cast copper alloy possible bracelet or armlet probably dating to the late Roman period (c. AD 300 - 450). The object is sub-oval in section. The main body is 14 mm wide at the front and then tapers to the terminals, which are now missing. There are no decorative features apparent on the object. The patina is brownish green. A very similar object is recorded as LANCUM-53C822 on this database. Diameter 51 mm, thickness 5 mm and weight 44.5 g.

DENO-8962D5: AMPULLA
A lead-alloy ampulla of medieval date, c. AD 1350 - 1550. The ampulla is in the form of a flask or bag with a slightly narrowed sub-rectangular neck, which appears crimped shut near the top. The top edge is jagged, suggesting it has been torn or roughly cut. At the junction of bowl and neck are two suspension loops, one on each side, one of which is damaged. One side of the bowl is decorated with a cross hatched bag or pouch surmounted with a cypher of chevrons. The image could be a manticula, or money-pouch, emblem of St Cyril of Jerusalem. The other side has the image of a stoppered flask. Length 48 mm, width 34 mm, thickness 8 mm and weight 33.6 g.

DENO-88DF10: WEIGHT
A cast lead object, probably a pan weight of medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1400 - 1600). The object has the form of a flat-bottomed domed disc; the upper surface appears to have moulded decoration, possibly a sexfoil surrounded by pellets, however the surface is abraded and dented and the decoration is not clear. The bottom surface is flat and undecorated, there is a central perforation, now blocked, 2 mm in diameter. The object currently weighs 144.5 g, possibly this was originally 1/3 Avoirdupois pound. Diameter 45 mm and height 12 mm.

DENO-627E65: WEIGHT
A Roman to medieval cast lead and iron steelyard weight, dating to c. AD 43 -1500. The weight is broadly cylindrical, flaring out at the base to give a bell-like appearance. The base is flat with a concave discoloured area in the centre, probably indicating the iron inset. There is an off-centre lump of iron corrosion on the top displaying the remains of the suspension loop. The object weights 237.3 g - compare with 246.7 g, the Roman Dodrans, the 3/4 libre weight. Diameter 37 mm, thickness 34 mm

DENO-620B3C: AMPULLA
An incomplete lead alloy pilgrim ampulla dating to c.14th-16th century AD. The ampulla is lingulate in shape, missing the upper neck and any attachment lugs. The surviving part is broken into two pieces by a jagged break across the bottom of the neck. The neck terminates at a second break, just as it starts to flare outwards to form the mouth. The neck appears undecorated. The body is decorated on one side to resemble a scallop shell. Although particularly associated with St James of Satiago de Compostela, an important pilgrimage site. The scallop became more broadly associated with pilgrimage in general. The other side has a circular area filled with cross hatching, with a central motif of what appears to be a crowned cypher resembling an S or a serpent - there is a dent on this side making identification difficult. Length 51 mm, width 28 mm, thickness 6 mm, weight 31.9 g

DENO-618F4A: WEIGHT
A complete lead weight or spindle whorl probably dating from the medieval to post medieval period (c. AD 1200-1500). The object has a flattened conical shape with rounded edges and flat bottom, slightly flattened on the outer edge with a circular central perforation measuring 7.5 mm in diameter. The object has a powdery light grey and cream patina. Diameter 28 mm, thickness 7 mm and weight 34.9 g.

DENO-616D4C: WEIGHT
A complete lead weight or spindle whorl of medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1200 - 1750).

DENO-60EB2F: SPINDLE WHORL
A medieval truncated bi-conical cast lead spindle whorl, of Walton-Rodgers form C, dating to c. AD 1100-1500. Both sides have moulded decoration, one side has raised lines from the cental perforation forming a star shape, with pellets in some of the spaces. The other side has what appears to be raised lettering, although there is no apparent meaning: X T T I P ? It is possible these had an apotropaic function. There is a pronounced circumferential rim and the central perforation is 9.5 mm in diameter. Diameter 29 mm, thickness 17 mm, weight 51.6 g

DENO-6055B3: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete component of a post medieval, cast, copper alloy strap fitting (c. AD 1650 - 1800). The object is shield-shaped, sub-rectangular with one rounded edge, which extends into a lug which bends back across the reverse. The other edge also has a back curving lug, this is broken after 1 mm. It is not certain if this curvature is accidental and post-depositional, or if it represents a form of attachment. The front is decorated with a stamped design depicting a bird amongst foliage. The reverse shows the design inverted, indicating it was created by pressing with a die. The whole object has a dusty light green pattina. Length 15 mm, width 11 mm, thickness 1 mm and weight 1.1 g.

DENO-5FFB14: TOKEN
A uniface lead alloy token probably of post medieval date (c. AD 1600 - 1800), Powell type 19. The token shows an antlered deer walking or running left, with the neck arched over the back. This pose is very similar to the 'hart at speed' heraldic or armorial symbol. There is a pelleted border and the quality of casting is good. Diameter 22 mm, thickness 2 mm and weight 4.2 g.

DENO-5F7C95: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A decorated copper alloy band, possibly a finger ring, but also possibly from a walking cane, riding crop or similar object. The object is formed from a rectangular sectioned strip of copper alloy curved into a ring. The two ends are not joined, there is a 1 mm gap between them. The interior surface at this point has some substance adhering to it, which may indicate solder or brazing. The outer surface has stamped or incised decoration its entire length, consisting of elongated S-shapes alternating with what may represent sheaves or wreaths. The object probably has a post-medieval to modern date (c. AD 1700 - 1900). Diameter 21 mm, width 4 mm, thickness 1 mm and weight 1.8 g.

DENO-5F1DA0: SPINDLE WHORL
A worn but complete cast lead alloy spindle whorl of medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1200 - 1800). The spindle whorl is bi-conical with a central perforation running through it. Both faces are decorated, but the decoration is worn and distorted, consisting of raised round pellets, but the details are obscured and there seems to be no fixed pattern. The metal has a light grey-brown patina and is worn. The perforation is c. 10 mm in diameter suggesting a medieval date (Walton Rogers, 1997, p.1731). Diameter 24 mm, thickness 8 mm and weight 19.7 g.

DENO-5EF833: COIN
A post medieval silver coin probably, based on diameter and weight, a William III sixpence, bent into a form commonly known as a love token. Both faces have been polished until no details can be seen, and both edges have been bent, forming the characteristic S-curve of a love token. There seems to have been an attempt to straighten one side, creating a crease. Probably dates between c. AD 1694 - 1702. Diameter 19 mm and weight 1.5 g.

DENO-5ECF9E: TOKEN
A complete cast lead-alloy uniface token, probably of post medieval date (c. AD 1550 - 1800). The token is a Powell type 2 hybrid (initial & pellets) or type 20 (Monogram). The decoration is in the form of an upper case letter M, with each joint of the letter highlighted with a raised pellet. Diameter 18 mm, thickness 2 mm and weight 4.4 g.

DENO-5E65E5: COIN
A post medieval silver-washed copper alloy contemporary copy of a milled silver shilling of George III (AD 1760 - 1820), last coinage dated AD 1817. Obverse description: Bull-necked bust laureate right. Obverse inscription: GEOR III D.G BRITT REX F.D. 1817 Reverse description: Crowned shield of Arms of England, Scotland, Ireland and Hanover in Garter band. Diameter 23.5 mm and weight: 3.8 g.

DENO-8FA7C7: SPOON
A cast lead alloy fragment, probably a figurative knop from a decorated spoon stem (c. AD 1500 - 1600). The object is anthropomorphic, with a large, rounded head, possibly representing a nimbus or halo, or possibly a hood. Facial features are crudely moulded, with eyes, nose and a lateral line either representing the mouth or a moustache. Arms are folded or clasped across the chest, the figure tapers to the feet creating an overall figure 8 shape. The back has moulded vertical lines, possibly representing folds in an episcopal robe. The object breaks immediately below the feet. The stem seems to be hexagonal in section. This may be a Christening spoon, a version of an Apostle spoon wherein the crossed arms represent an attitude of prayer, or simply a crudely executed novelty. Length 39 mm, width 11 mm, thickness 7 mm and weight 8.1 g.

DENO-8EFEE8: SCABBARD
An incomplete cast lead alloy object, possibly a chape or terminal from a dagger or sword scabbard, of medieval date (c. AD 1100 - 1400). The object is pyramidal and hollow. It is anthropomorphic, forming the head and shoulders of a human, probable male figure wearing a conical helm with a nose guard. The back and shoulders are decorated with foliate moulding. Ears and eyes are well defined, but mouth, chin and front of body are missing due to damage; a ragged break, apparently old, resulting in a triangular piece, approximately 20 percent of the whole, missing from the front of the object. The back of the object is concave, it is not obvious if this is by design or accidental. The base has a rim border, suggesting this is not a break but the original edge of the object. No exact parallel can be found on the database (cf NLM-F27A75) and the precise function of the object is not certain. Shape and size, and the hollow interior, suggest it might have accommodated a tang or sheath, therefore the tentative identification as a chape. Length 34 mm, width 28 mm, tapering to 8 mm, thickness 11 mm and weight 9.6 g.

DENO-3DD3C7: BROOCH
An incomplete, copper alloy Roman brooch (c. AD 50 - 400). Colchester derivative of the Polden Hill variety, Mackreth group 4. The pin, the foot, and part of the cord are missing. The head, wings, bow, and part of the catch plate still survive. There is a spot of iron corrosion in the centre of the spring housing which would have been the beginning of the pin. The cylindrical wings are decorated with a series of for vertical incised grooves. The bow is decorated with a small central ridge flanked by two grooves that run down much of the length of the bow, before the ridge ends and the grooves merge and run to the break. Overall length 63 mm, width 39.8 mm, thickness 5.8 mm and weight 34.4 g.

DENO-3D5B6D: PIPE TAMPER
A complete cast copper alloy object in the shape of a fish, or porpoise, with large eyes, lips and moulded scales (c. AD 1700 - 1850). The tail arches over the head, which is largely in proportion to the body, the tail fin is small and shaped like a foot or hook. The underside of the head, or chin, is flat and smooth and appears worn. There are no obvious attachment points or breaks, the object appears complete rather than a component of a larger object. It is probably a pipe-tamper, the chin being used to press tabacco and the tail to pick debris from the pipe bowl. Pipe-tampers in a wide range of novilty shapes were popular in the 18th to19th centuries. Overall length 39 mm, width 21 mm, thickness 7 mm and wieght 19.7 g.

DENO-3D064A: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) cruciform bow brooch (c. AD 420 - 475). The head has an integrally cast half-round top knop. The head plate is sub-rectangular and has no wings or side-knops. The bow is deeply curved with a concave back surface, creating a V-shaped cross section. A series of incised lines separate the bow from the head and foot. The foot is worn but appears to be zoomorphic in design, with moulded, protruding eyes and a long snout, resembling a horse or dragon head. The reverse of the brooch has the remains of a catchplate. The pin is missing. This brooch appears to be of Martin type 1. Length 89 mm, width 20 mm, thickness 4 mm and weight 29.3 g.

DENO-3BC29D: MOUNT
An incomplete cast copper alloy zoomorphic mount or possible finger ring of Roman date (c. AD 43 - 120). It is in the form of a water bird, probably a duck, with wings folded along its back and neck raised. Surfaces are worn and patinated but feathers and other features seem to have been delineated by incised lines. The beak is worn and blunted. There are many similar objects described on this database, such as KENT-BAB819, WILT-D6B5E8, WILT-92B052; these are generally dated to the first century and suggested as mounts used as rim decoration or lid handles for metal vessels such as strainers. Excavated examples include one from Colchester (Crummy 1983: 142/fig. 171, no. 4268). However, this object differers in its underside; most other examples have an attachment stud or peg projecting from a slightly concave underside; in this case the underside is flat and decorated with incised plumage, and has an oval area resembling the bezel of a finger ring , from either side of which project two curving extensions, now broken and worn to stubs but which may have extended to form a hoop. The object may have been worn as a finger ring but its large size and weight would have been uncomfortable. It is more probable this is some kind of mount with an unusual attachment. Overall length 38 mm, width 14 mm, height 28 mm and weight 32.9 g Some Roman bird mounts were attached to globes, which is a possible explanation for the underside of this object, however such mounts tended to be corvid rather than water-fowl. Masrden, A. 2014 comments that many of these corvid mounts sit atop a globe and carry a small sphere in their beaks. Marsden further includes Rogerson and Ashley (2010) where it is commented that a small cluster of these mounts have been found in North East Norfolk, they note that the Roman name for Brancaster (Branodunum) translates to Raven Fort. It further adds that this area of Norfolk does not produce many Roman finds and that this could be down to coincidence. Marsden, A. (2014) Satyrs, leopards, riders and ravens; Anthropomorphic and Zoomorphic objects from Roman Norfolk, p56/7.

DENO-EB6DA3: KNIFE
A copper alloy handle from a knife of post medieval date (c. AD 1600 - 1650). The handle is anthropomorphic, depicting the figure of Jonah being swallowed by, or emerging from, the whale. Jonah is shown with his arms bent upwards and hands clasped in prayer. His facial features are worn, he is either bald or hair has worn away but he does have a clearly moulded long drooping moustache. The bottom half of his body disappears into the whales mouth. The whale is integrally moulded, and resembles sea monster illustrations from beastaries with large google eyes, lips and tendrils from the top of the head. The body tapers and terminates in a circular cavity 4 mm diameter, which would have taken the tang of the blade. It is now blocked with iron corrosion. Handles of this type have been found in the Netherlands, it is possible that this object was a continental import into the country. Close parallels are found on this database in records LIN-F16D33 and BH-8D8C03 Overall length 76 mm, width 15 mm and weight 44.1 g.

DENO-6C0596: COIN
A medieval silver Irish cut halfpenny of Henry III (AD 1276-1279), with voided long cross, dating to 1251-1254. Moneyer Davi, mint of Dublin. As Spink 2003, no. 6243. Die axis: 10. Diameter 17 mm and weight 0.6 g.

DENO-6B7575: PIPE TAMPER
An incomplete cast copper alloy object, resembling a rotary key but probably a pipe tamper of post-medieval date, c. AD 1650-1850. The object has a circular suspension loop at one end, which is 13 mm in diameter with a sharp D-shape, almost triangular section. From this loop extends a long circular-sectioned shank with three moulded collars at centre, which terminates in a 90-degree angle turn to a short, flat bottomed, D-sectioned tapering foot, which terminates in an old break. The metal has a mid green patina with small patches of dark orange corrosion. Length: 38 mm, width: 19 mm, thickness: 4 mm and weight: 8.1 g.

A complete post-medieval silver sixpence of William III (AD 1694 - 1702) dating to 1697. Mint of Chester. Die axis: 6 o'clock. As Spink 3543. The coin is worn and has been deliberately bent into an 'S'-shape, possibly to form a love token. Diameter 19 mm, thickness 1 mm. and weight 2.7 g. Dr Kevin Leahy notes in FAKL-A043BC: 'Love tokens' were made using coins dating from the time of Elizabeth I (1558-1603) to the reign of Ann (1702-1714) with some Georgian examples. They were particularly common in the reign of William III (1694-1702). They are not uncommon finds but their significance is not understood. While 'love tokens' should be inscribed with the name of the person loved most of these defaced coins are uninscribed. Bending coins as part of an oath is an ancient practice but did not involve them being defaced. These coins may have been carried as good-luck charms but few of them are perforated for suspension, the usual way of wearing a charm.

DENO-581A13: VESSEL
A fragment of a cast copper alloy pot or cauldron foot of medieval to post-medieval date, c. AD 1350-1850. The object is wedge-shaped with a sub-rectangular cross-section.

DENO-EE5859: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy Colchester derivative brooch with Polden Hill spring fixture, dating c. AD 75-175. Semi-cylindrical wings contain the spring, whose axis bar is held at either end by a pierced circular plate capping the wings. Three turns of the spring are visible in the centre of the reverse where the wings open to allow the pin to exit, although the pin has broken and is no longer present. The wings and bow are undecorated. The head rises outwards from the wings and tapers gently down to the now missing foot. The bow is D-shape in section and retains a ridge corresponding to the start of the catchplate on the lower bow's inner surface. The bow is damaged, now bent to one side. The metal has a dark green patina. Length: 29 mm, width: 27 mm, thickness: 4 mm. and weight: 9.5 g.

DENO-ED7F2A: SHOT
A complete cast lead alloy probable 'capstan' bullet or 'bobbin' shot, of post-medieval date, c. AD 1600-1800. The object is sub-cylindrical: circular in section with two discoidal ends which narrow to a concave waist in the object's centre. The metal's surface has a mid-grey patina. There are cuts and dents on the circumference but these are probably post-depositional damage (e.g., animal grazing) rather than set-up marks. Length: 21 mm, diameter: 17 mm and weight: 35.6 g.

DENO-ED5A32: WEIGHT
A complete cast lead alloy weight, probably a loom or net weight of medieval to post-medieval date, c. AD 1200-1800. The object is sub-annular in plan and D-shape in section. The central sub-circular perforation is c. 8 mm. in diameter. The surface is covered in indentations and scratches, which are likely mostly post-depositional damage. The metal has a cream coloured patina. Diameter: 21 mm, height: 11 mm and weight: 19.6 g.

DENO-ED091F: THIMBLE
A cast copper alloy closed thimble of post-medieval date, c. AD 1725-1900. The object is closed and sub-conical in form with with a shallow rounded top and a thin thickened and plain rim at the base. The rim and lower thimble are damaged with a small arch-shaped fragment missing in a jagged break. The indentations in the wall are small, circular and regularly spaced. The convex top has slightly larger square indentations arranged in a grid pattern. The sides are straight and slope slightly to the top. The metal's surface has a dark green patina. Diameter: 19 mm, height: 21 mm, thickness: 1 mm. and weight: 5.5 g. Similar examples recorded on the PAS database are IOW-F9CD4E and SUSS-6AF575.

DENO-ECC7CF: VESSEL
A complete undecorated lead alloy vessel or container, of post-medieval date (c. AD 1500-1700). The vessel is short, round and open at the top, with the sides tapering gently towards its base. There are no obvious attachment holes or rivets visible, suggesting that the vessel stood on its own rather then being mounted to a wall or other surface. The object is now distorted - squashed so that the rim is closed - in what is most likely post-depositional damage. The metal has a powdery cream coloured patina. Similar items have been described as bird-feeders, but other possible identifications include inkwells, dice-shakers, blood-letting cups or measures for grain or powder. Egan describes a similar vessel (2005, 129, no. 617). Length: 58 mm, width: 18 mm, height: 26 mm, thickness: 4 mm. and weight 92.2 g.

DENO-EC405E: COIN
A complete and worn post medieval silver coin, apparently deliberately polished and bent, possibly to form a love-token. The coin is polished to the point it is mostly illegible, but it is probably a sol-piece of Louis XIV of France (AD 1643 - 1715), minted at Paris and dating to the period 1691 - 1699. The obverse is mostly illegible, the legend may have been over-struck. DG FR can be seen, and the laureate and draped head of probably Louis XIV facing right. Reverse shows a crowned double 'L' monogram, with three fleurs-de-li. Diameter 19 mm, thickness 1 mm and weight 1.1 g.

DENO-EB8D17: SHOT
A complete cast lead alloy probable 'capstan' bullet or 'bobbin' shot, of post-medieval date, c. AD 1600-1800.

DENO-EB137D: KEY (LOCKING)
A worn and incomplete cast lead alloy possible key of post-medieval date, c. AD 1500-1700. The sub-circular sectioned stem terminates in a blunt, flattened stub after a shallow groove. There is no bow present after this stub. The stem's surface is now worn, but may have moulded decoration; one side appears to have a shallow saltire design. At the other end, the stem flares slightly, corresponding to the section accommodating the key's hollow pin. Here, the key's wedge-shaped ward extends out at a right angle. The ward appears to be uncut. On the stem's surface opposite the ward, there are the remains of a casting seam. The metal's surface is heavily worn with a dusty white patina. Length: 51 mm, diameter (of shank): 11 mm, width (at ward): 24 mm and weight: 41.3 g.

DENO-EA8190: COIN
A heavily corroded silver post medieval sixpence of Elizabeth I (AD 1558 - 1603). The date and initial mark can not be seen due to the corrosion. The coin appears to have been clipped. It is bent and distorted, but the damage does not seem to be deliberate. Diameter 24 mm, thickness 1 mm and weight 2.6 g.

DENO-5B3AA5: TOKEN
A complete cast lead alloy uniface token of probable late medieval to post-medieval date (c. AD 1500-1800). It is sub-circular in plan with a bevelled edge resulting in a sub-trapezoidal section shape. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The obverse bears a moulded encircled cross potent, corresponding to Powell type 14 token. The metal's surface is worn, and has a mid-dark grey patina. Diameter: 25 mm, thickness: 3.5 mm and weight: 11 g.

DENO-5ACC2F: SPINDLE WHORL
A complete cast lead alloy bi-conical spindle whorl of medieval date (c. 1100-1500), corresponding to Walton Rogers class C.

DENO-5A8642: TOKEN
A cast lead alloy uniface token of probable post medieval date, c. AD 1550 - 1750. The token is crudely cast, sub-circular in plan, one face is decorated with eight arms or spokes radiating from a central hub. Fletcher (2005) suggests this design might represent the sails of a mill and the token is related to grinding, or transporting grain. Powell type 22, 13. Diameter 20.4 mm, thickness 4.4 mm and weight 8.9 g.

DENO-5A2680: COIN
An extremely worn silver post medieval shilling of uncertain ruler, probably William III (AD 1694 - 1702). Both faces are worn to blankness, possibly deliberaterly for use as a token, only a faint profile of the monarch can be seen, from which it is suggested the coin is of William III.

DENO-594D57: TOKEN
A uniface lead alloy token or 'dump', probably of post medieval date (c. AD 1600 - 1800). The object is crudely cast and thicker than typical leaden tokens or tallies. One surface is flat, the other slightly convex and decorated with a circle of eight raised pellets around a larger central pellet (Powell type 30). The thickness and weight of this piece suggest it may have been used in Shy Cocking, see Fetcher (2005) Chapter 10. Diameter 25.9 mm, thickness 6.7 mm and weight 17.9 g.

DENO-58E25E: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete cast copper alloy sword-belt hanger of post-medieval date, c.16th-17th centuries AD. The object consists of a bilaterally symmetrical cast plate with trilobate edge at one terminal, long flared sides, and a narrow hooked terminal at the other end. This hook is sub-circular in section and broken before the recurve. The plate is decorated on its obverse surface with floral motifs and is undecorated on the reverse. The plate is pierced by two rivet holes along the plate's central vertical axis, one at the upper end and one at the lower end. Both openings are framed by rosettes/petals, making them appear as flower heads. The metal's surface bears a dark green patina. Length 39 mm, width 17.42 mm, thickness 2.4 mm and weight 7.6 g.

DENO-58AFB4: STRAP FITTING
A complete cast copper alloy sword belt hanger of post-medieval date, c. 16th-17th century AD. The object consists of a long cast plate, sub-rectangular in section, bilaterally symmetrical in plan; a short lobed top edge extends to curving, wavy sides, which extend to a narrow and straight hook at the base. This hook, circular in section curves back on itself creating a J-shape profile for the strap fitting. The plate is undecorated on the reverse, but is decorated on the obverse with a series of foliate 'vine scroll' mouldings which also bear bilateral symmetry. The plate is pierced by two now corroded iron rivets aong its central vertical axis, one at the upper end and the other at the lower end of the plate. The plate's metal has a dark green patina. Length 47.5 mm, width 16.37 mm, thickness 2.4 mm and weight 6.6 g. Similar fittings recorded on the PAS database include BERK-18DC34 and BERK-D0AB56 (showing a fully intact set of hangers).

DENO-57F8B8: RING
A complete cast copper alloy ring of post-medieval to modern date, c 1700-1925. It is possibly a finger ring, however the thickness and small diameter suggest it is perhaps more likely to be a ferrule from a cane, parasol, riding crop or even a scent bottle or other similar object. It is sub-annular in plan and D-shape in section. The surface is undecorated, but there is a raised vertical ridge at one point; it is unclear whether this is decorative or merely the braised or soldered joint of the ring. The metal's surface has a mid-dark green patina with some mild corrosion. Diameter: 15 mm, width: 2.4 mm, thickness: 1 mm and weight: 0.7 mm .

DENO-578C3B: TOKEN
A cast lead alloy bi-face token or tally, probably of post medieval date c. AD 1500 - 1700. Both faces have raised, moulded decoration, one face has three concentric circles around a central pellet , with a superimposed long cross. This falls into Powell type 3. The pattern may echo the reverse of medieval groats, but may represent a grid or labyrinth pattern, which had apotropaic significance. The other face has a capital letter E in a serif font, there may also be pellet decoration but this is difficult to discern due to damage and abrasion The object has dents and bends around the circumference, these are probably not deliberate and represent post depositional damage. Diameter 25.4 mm, thickness 2 mm and weight 5.9 g.

DENO-573537: WEIGHT
A post medieval cast lead alloy hem weight, dating to c. AD 1750 - 1900. It is discoidal although now distorded by post depositional damage.

A copper alloy palstave of middle Bronze Age date (c. 1700 BC - 1400 BC), Acton Park phase. The axe is narrow and unlooped, with a crescent shaped cutting edge. The butt is chipped. The axe has a well defined, concave stop-ridge on both sides. The blade is narrow and trapezoidal, widening gently to the cutting edge. There is a shield-shaped depression below the stop, partially obscured by corrosion. There may have been a midrib and raised edges on the blade, these features are difficult to positively identify due to corrosion. The palstave has patches of dark, shiny patina before and after the stop-ridge, this in the process of flaking off, other areas show a green patina, with patches of corrosion. Overall length 117 mm, width 40. 77 mm, thickness 23.7 mm and weight 179.93 g. Palstaves of similar form are illustrated in Rowlands, plate 6, apparently found near Northwood, IOW. For a similar example on this database, see SWYOR-7CAD22.

A fragment of a copper alloy key, probably of medieval date (c. AD 1100 - 1500). The bow was probably circular, with a diameter of approximately 17 mm, it is broken and abraded, with approximately 60% missing. There is a broad, much abraded collar at the junction of the bow and the stem. The stem is hollow and circular in section, 9.6 mm diameter. It extends 14 mm bellow the collar before terminating in an old break, with no remnants of a bit. The fragment has a dusty green patina. Overall length 37.4 mm and weight 12.9 g.

DENO-2DD53D: PIN
A copper alloy ring-headed pin of uncertain date. The pin's head is formed from a loop of the sub-circular sectioned wire which forms the shank. The gap between the end of the loop and the neck is closed with some grey material, possibly degraded solder. There are incised chevron decorations on the surface of the loop just before the closure point, between incised lines forming collars. The neck and shank have a kink and bend; this form somewhat resembles swan-necked pins of early iron age date, however it is not possible to determine if this bending is accidental and post-depositional. The shank extends for 75 mm and tapers to a point. Diameter of head 21 mm, thickness 4.6 mm and weight 14.3 g.

DENO-2CF972: VESSEL
A fragment of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel handle, probably from a skillet or posnet of late medieval to post medieval date, (c. AD 1400 - 1600). The object is sub-elliptical in plan with a D-shaped section. One end terminates in an old, uneven break, the other end drops down to form an extrusion with a knop or foot at the terminal. The upper surface is decorated with a row of three ring-and-dot motifs, all surfaces have a mottled brown and green patina. The object's form, dropped end and ring-and-dot/circular motifs are similar to other handles recorded on the database, for example LANCUM-A66D3E. A similar handle, identified as a posnet handle, is illustrated in FRG datasheet 41 (Fig 3, c) . Overall length 65.5 mm, width 26 mm, thickness 8.9 mm and weight 111.4 g.

DENO-C68836: BRACELET
An incomplete cast copper alloy bracelet or armlet of uncertain date. A penannular band of lentoid section, tapering from a wider (13.5 mm) midpoint towards narrower (6 mm) ends, both broken. The bracelet is slightly distorted, now forming an ellipse 48 mm by 29.5 mm, but was probably originally wider. The object appears to have been cleaned and has no patina, surface is a metallic coppery brass colour. The form resembles some armlets popular in the early Roman period, see Crummy (1983: 42) fig 44, no 1676. However, an object of such a simple form may have served other uses at other times. The lack of patina makes dating difficult, and it is possible the object is of more recent date. Weight 32.8 g.

DENO-C60E46: LUG (HANDLE)
A fragment of a cast copper alloy object of uncertain function, possibly part of a lug handle from a vessel of medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1450 - 1700). The object is a knop or sub-hemispherical piece of copper alloy with a rib or flange which appears to extend into a lenticular-sectioned handle or blade, but which terminates in an old break after ~ 4mm. The other side of the object is also an old break, possibly the attachment to the vessel. The object has mottled green-brown patina. Width 29 mm, height 19 mm, thickness 18.6 mm and weight 32.3 g.

DENO-C5B53A: STIRRUP
A fragment of a cast copper alloy object, possibly part of a stirrup mount, possibly of Anglo-Scandinavian date (c. AD 900 - 1100). The object takes the form of a semi-cylindrical sheath with a convex exterior. The decoration is zoomorphic, possibly representing a wolf or dog head. Identification as a stirrup mount is based on similarity to other objects recorded on this database; SUR-7DD050, KENT-70A4C2 and SUR-51D12B. Length 23.5 mm, width 11.4 mm, thickness 2 mm and weight 3.3 g.

A complete Bronze Age to medieval copper alloy awl dating to c. 1250 BC - AD 1500. Approximately one half of the object has a rectangular cross-section, tapering from the centre towards a chisel shape end, which has some chipping, while the other half, with a slightly more rounded section, tapers to a blunt point. The object has a mottled dark grey-green patina . Plain copper alloy awls are hard to date precisely but examples of this form are thought to have been introduced in the Bronze Age, and continued in use as leather and wood working tools up to the medieval period. Overall length 54.5 mm, width at centre 5.5 mm and weight 5.2 g.

DENO-C35EC3: WHISTLE
A pewter (Britannia metal) pea whistle of late 19th to early 20th century date. The whistle is complete but the pea is missing. The whistle is cylindrical and hollow with a waisted/reeled and knopped terminal at the closed end, which is pierced for attachment to a ring and suspension cord or chain. The body of the whistle has a domed end with a circumferential lip; the dome appears detachable via a screw thread. There is a semi-circular sound hole. The mouthpiece has a D shaped aperture. Casting seams can be seen on either side of the body. The object has a dusty white patina. Length 39 mm, diameter 16 mm and weight 14.7 g.

DENO-9C07E8: PENDANT
A cast copper alloy pendant in the form of a fish, probably post medieval in date, (c. AD 1700 - 1900). The interior of the fish is decorated with incised representations of smaller fish, filling all the space in a tesselation effect, except for the tail which is naturalisically portrayed. At the mouth is a drilled hole, now broken, for suspension. The object has a lateral S-shaped bend along its length, it is not clear if this is the original form or an accidental deformation. The object would function as a pendant, charm on a bracelet or as an earring. It is also possible it was used as a fisherman's lure. No exact parallel can be found on the database, but see NLM-5B33D8. Length 29 mm, width 12.5 mm, thickness 2 mm and weight 2.9 g.

DENO-9B535E: PLAQUE
A lead alloy decorated plaque of probable post medieval date, (c. AD 1550 - 1700).

In the lower left is the letter B next to a sword or dagger, to the right is a frame of some kind, possibly a loom or wicket. In the upper left is a cross, this seems to be replicated on the right, but the right corner is damaged and distorted. It is possible that this object is part of a toy hornbook, examples in lead alloy appear on the database; usually they display letters of the alphabet for copying, but examples bearing illustrations are also found. See LVPL-851321 and LIN-A83E88. Width 39.33 mm, height 43.7 mm, thickness 4 mm and weight 28 g.

DENO-9A9035: SEAL MATRIX
A lead alloy seal matrix of medieval date, (c. AD 1300 - 1450). The matrix is circular, usually denoting a secular, non-clerical male owner (Harvey & McGuinness, 1996). The central design appears to be a modified lis, with a central, vesica-shaped bud flanked by lines representing leaves. The legend reads + SIGIHL EVSTACI FIE I EFSTAE. Some letters appear to be double struck and are not clear. This was probably the seal of a Eustace, the remaining part of the legend is unclear. The reverse face is flat and plain, there is a central dark line which may have been where a lug was soldered on. Diameter 35.3 mm, thickness 3.2 mm and weight 26.1 g.

DENO-998D8C: AMPULLA
An incomplete lead alloy ampulla of medieval date, (c. AD 1350 - 1500). The surviving element represents the rounded lower portion of the ampulla, which was shaped like a flask or draw-string purse. The upper portion, neck and lugs are missing, the object terminates in a jagged and apparently old break. One face of the object is decorated with a cross hatched background, which has a circular field containing an arched crown surmounting a sub-circular shape encircling a sceptre, sword or possible lis.The crown motif is associated with the shrine of Our Lady at Walsingham, representing the coronation of the Virgin as Queen of Heaven (Spencer 1998: 146-7). The other face is abraded but appears to be decorated with a hexafoil or daisy wheel design. Diameter 32 mm, thickness 6 mm and weight 17.1 g.

DENO-752903: STRAP FITTING
A cast copper alloy openwork strap fitting of post medieval date (c. AD 1600 - 1700). The overall shape is piriform, the main plate is an openwork foliate head, the beard of which forms a bottom knop. A smaller upper knop has the moulded features of a grinning face. The reverse is flat and has two attachment spikes, one broken and both bent over. The spikes appear to be soldered onto the plate rather than integrally cast. The whole object has a dust green patina. The style is reminiscent of pieces described discussed by Brian Read (2001: 28) fig. 20, no. 291, who suggests a c. 17th century date. Length 32 mm, width 25 mm, thickness 2 mm and weight 7.4 g.

DENO-74C125: BUTTON
A complete cast copper alloy button of late medieval or early post-medieval date (c. AD 1400 - 1600). The head is pyramidal, with a lozenge-shaped base and a flat reverse. The front is decorated with a relief design of a central cross running from corner to corner, dividing the button into four triangular fields. Each field has a small lis in the centre. The head measures 11 mm along the axis and is 4 mm thick. The reverse has a rectangular, integrally cast lug emerging from one apex. It runs for 11 mm and has a drilled circular perforation, 2 mm diameter, for attachment. Similar examples on the database include NMS-BF62AC and SUR-69A7A1. Read (2005, 30) dates this type to the late 15th or 16th centuries. Length 11 mm, thickness 4 mm and weight 1.9 g.

It extends 10 mm from the flat base of the head before terminating in an old break. No exact parallel can be found, but square shanked, knop-headed pins are described on this database, for example LIN-AAA6E1. Diameter 8 mm and weight 2.2 g.

DENO-73983C: BROOCH
A copper alloy disk brooch, probably of Roman date (c. AD 100 - 200). The surface is decorated with a six pointed star with lugs at each point. The star forms a cell which is filled with red enamel. A circular central cell is filled with blue enamel. Traces of blue enamel are also in the spaces between the arms of the star, The object is incomplete. The reverse has a spring mechanism, the pin and part of catch plate are missing, and only one of the peripheral lugs that decorated the points of the star is present. A similar form is shown in Hattat, Fig 204, 526, and a similar but corroded example is described in record LEIC-D961D2. Diameter 20 mm, thickness 2 mm and weight 2.2 g.

DENO-733E7A: MOUNT
A copper alloy sexfoil harness mount of medieval date (c. AD 1400 - 1500). The object is a domed disc with six rounded knops forming petals around the circumference. The reverse is concave with the remnants of an attachment stud in the centre. The object has a dark green-brown patina, chipped in places with some corrosion. A very similar object is described in record NMS-F25EBB, which describes a bitumen like substance on the reverse, not present in this example. Diameter 18 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 1.7 g. Very similar to a number of mounts from the site of the Battle of Towton (Palm Sunday, 29 March 1461): YORYM-134AC7, YORYM-133756, YORYM-133FF1, SWYOR-00CCA2, SWYOR-00BF77, SWYOR-00AB63, SWYOR-009F24 and SWYOR-36B463 (17 examples). These differ from the present example only on the reverse of the petals which are more clearly concave. A septafoil mount of very similar form was found further south in Yorkshire (SWYOR-FE6623) and two octofoil versions were found on the battle site (SWYOR-36CFF4). Broadly comparable sexfoils have been recorded from Lincolnshire (PUBLIC-4EE605) and Nothamptonshire (BERK-2D2DD2), the latter with what may have been bitumen around the edges.

DENO-72D182: SCABBARD
An incomplete copper alloy chape from a sword or dagger scabbard, probably of medieval date (c. AD 1200 - 1400). It is conical, formed from a trapezoidal sheet of copper alloy rolled to form a cone. The cone has multiple flat sides creating a fluted effect. The upper, wider end is broken with portions missing. The object is filled with compacted material, probably soil. The object has a glossy, mottled brown and green patina. Similar conical chapes on this database, such as YORYM-A6A984, are ascribed a medieval date. Ward-Perkins states simple conical chapes started to appear in the 13th century. Length 54 mm, diameter 13 mm tappering to 6 mm and weight 14.2 g.

DENO-725AE5: FINGER RING

The hoop has a sub-circular cross section, 4 mm diameter. The ring has a dark patina and patches of corrosion. The thickness, number of turns and heavy patina suggests a prehistoric date. Similar finds have been recorded on the PAS database (HAMP-7556B3, NARC-BBBD74 and SF-761FF6), with other examples in the Near Lewes hoard (SUSS-C5D042) and the Ockham hoard (SUR-B41DB6), both dated to the middle Bronze Age. Diameter 29 mm, overall height 14 mm and weight 19.3 g.

DENO-71BA2E: SPINDLE WHORL
A stone spindle whorl or loom weight, probably of Iron Age to Roman date, (c. 300 BC - AD 400). The object is a cylindrical disc carefully formed from a fine-grained sandstone. It has a very neatly drilled central perforation, 4.5 mm diameter. Both faces are flat and smooth, without decoration. There is some chipping but the object is generally in good condition. Spindle whorls are very difficult to date precisely without other evidence (such as pottery) as the general form was in use for a long period. However this spindle whorl closely resembles, in material and form, other examples dated to the Iron Age and Roman periods including an example discovered in a stratified Iron Age context in Herefordshire (HESH-1B967F) Diameter 36 mm, thickness 9 mm and weight 23.3 g.

The head of the bow is humped and house a raised, sub-circular stud. Immediately below this are two circular cells retaining red enamel. The centre of the bow is decorated with small (c. 1mm diameter) circular cells, arranged in threes, two containing red enamel either side of a central cell with degraded, probable blue enamel, running the length to just above the foot. The mid sections of the sides of the bow are saw-toothed. The foot is flat and discoidal, projecting forwards. The reverse of the bow is flat and the catch plate is missing. The object has a light green patina. For comparable examples see Hattatt (2000: 304) no. 30, and Mackreth (2011: 66) plate 63. Overall length 37 mm, width 19 mm, thickness 6mm and weight 6.4 g.

DENO-7DB4CB: SPOON
An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman spoon, (c. AD 100 - 400). The spoon is in poor condition, the shallow, oval bowl is broken with approximately 50% missing. The square-sectioned handle stem is attached to the bowl via a curved neck, the junction of the bowl and stem is integral to the bowl. The stem tapers and terminates after 13 mm in an old break. Overall length 32 mm, width 13 mm, thickness 4 mm and weight 2.8 g.

DENO-7CF8B1: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman bow brooch, probable Colchester variant (Polden Hill, Mackreath group 4) dating to the second century, (c. AD 160 - 200). Short cylindrical wings retain the corroded spring, the pin is missing. The head of the bow is smooth, hump-like and undecorated. At the very front of the head are the remains of a loop or hook. The bow is sub-circular in section and tapers to a rounded, knop-like foot, which is bent to one side. The catch plate is missing. The entire object has a smooth green patina. Overall length 50 mm, width 21 mm, thickness 5 mm and weight 13 g.

DENO-7C89E1: FURNITURE FITTING
A cast copper alloy fitting probably of post medieval date, (c. AD 1700 - 1900). The object comprises a hemispherical knop, 19 mm diameter, surmounted by a moulded figure of a rabbit or hare, crouching with ears flat along its back. The animal's eyes, nose, fur and feet are defined by incised lines. The knop appears to be decorated with incised scrolls or swirls, but it is corroded. From the base of the knop emerges a curving, D-sectioned plate with a flat interior face. This emerges from only the left side (facing the rabbit) of the knop, the right hand side of the base is flat. The plate curves to the rear of the object and terminates in an old break. It is possible the object formed the decoration of the stock of a fire arm, possibly a hunting or rabbiting gun from the 18th to 19th century. Overall length 46 mm, width 14 mm, thickness 6 mm and weight 42.3 g.

DENO-7BBD90: COIN

DENO-FFFE0C: BROOCH
An incomplete and corroded Roman headstud brooch (c. AD 75 - 125), Mackreath type 6. Short wings, one damaged, one missing, a fragment of the hinge mechanism remains heavily corroded. The wings are topped by the residual stub of an integrally cast loop. The bow is square sectioned, hollow on the underside, with an integrally cast round stud with worn central annulus. Below the stud the bow is decorated with a longitudinal series of raised lozenge-shaped pellets. The cells surrounding these may have housed enamel. A pair of traverse incised lines separate the small foot. Only fragments of the catchplate remain on the rear surface. Length 32 mm, width 9 mm, thickness 4 mm and weight 4 g.

DENO-FF835B: COSMETIC SPOON
A fragment of a copper alloy cosmetic or toiletry spoon of Roman date (c. AD 43 - 410). The object comprises of the damaged, very shallow bowl and the stub of a rectangular sectioned stem set at 90 degrees to the bowl. Only 6 mm of the stem remains. The bowl is 11 mm long and 9 mm wide in current state, it is badly chipped with pieces missing from the edge. It is possible this object formed part of a toilet article. Crummy, N. (1995: 59) notes: “Those with a small cupped scoop have been described as ear picks or scoops (Hawkes and Hull 1947, 334;Neal and Butcher 1974, fig 62, 184), though the surgical ear scoop (oricularium specillum) known to the Romans had a small narrow scoop (Milne 1970,63). More convincingly, spoons with both round and long scoops are generally recognized as being used to extract cosmetics from flasks, boxes, and small pots (ibid, 77; Merrifield 1965, 187; Neal and Butcher 1974, fig 63)....Toilet spoons appear to have been made throughout the Roman period.” Length 11 mm, width 9mm, thickness 1mm and weight 0.5 g.

DENO-FF2B96: TOY
A lead alloy minature boot or shoe, probably a game token or charm, post-medieval to modern in date (c. AD 1700 - 1950). The shoe has some damage including a split on the sole. The heel is defined and the sole has projections representing hobnails, or possibly studs if the item is intended to represent a football boot or golf shoe. The patina of the metal is of a mid grey colouring with some dusty buff patina. A similar object is described in record DUR-F09545. Length 21 mm, width 9 mm and weight 3.2 g.

DENO-FDB473: VESSEL
An incomplete post medieval cast, copper alloy vessel leg, potentially from a cauldron or posset (c. AD 1600 - 1700). The front surface is slightly curved whilst the back of the object is relatively flat. There is a single central rib running down the front of the leg. The leg has an overall triangular cross-section and turns out at the bottom to form a simple foot. No collar separates the foot and leg. FRG datasheet 41 suggests a 17th century date for this form (fig 4a). The object has a pale green patina with dark green patches. Width 39 mm, height 56 mm, thickness 11 mm and weight 142.2 g.

DENO-FD5476: TOKEN
A modern copper alloy object (c. AD 1860 - 1900), stamped with the likeness of a Queen Victoria 'bun-head' bust from a farthing of AD 1860. The reverse is undecorated, the inverted pattern of the obverse decoration can be seen. This object could be a whist-marker, but objects such as NARC-8B55A9 on this database are identified as bottle stoppers. Diameter 23 mm, thickness >1 mm and weight 1.2 g.

DENO-FCC340: BUCKLE
A copper alloy annular brooch or buckle of medieval date (c. AD 1300 - 1600). The object is a complete ring and upper and lower faces are flattened, creating a D shaped section. The pin is missing and there is no pin restriction. Dark brown patina all over. It is difficult to determine if this was a buckle or brooch, however annular buckles are usually dated to the medieval period. Diameter 30 mm, thickness 2.2 mm and weight 4.4 g.

DENO-FC734E: FIGURINE
A cast lead figurine in the form of a swan preening its feathers whilst swimming or floating of probable post medieval date (c. AD 1700 - 1900). Wings are arched over the swan's back in a busking position. Wing feathers and tails are moulded. The figurine is set on an oval base with a cavity currently filled with compact material (soil). Length at base 42 mm, height 46 mm, width 21 mm and weight 206 g. A very close parallel was sold at auction in Cockermouth in June 2016 It was described as a weight in the form of a swan and possibly Roman. An almost identical example is LANCUM-CB4B90 which has been assigned a post medieval to modern date, with the possibility of a Roman date mentioned. Another close parallel is recorded on the database as SWYOR-3E0CBD. Emma Durham's work on Roman figurines (Depicting the gods: metal figurines in Roman Britain) does not list more than one possible swan (more likely to be a goose) and no other Roman parallels have been identified yet. The mass of this and the LANCUM example do not appear to correspond to Roman weighing systems, though they are close to the mass of a medieval half pound and could function as a standing pan weight. However, a post medieval date and a decorative function, perhaps as part of a crest seems more likely, given the condition of the metal and patina.

DENO-FC078C: WEIGHT
A cast conical lead weight of medieval date, (c. AD 1066 - 1200). The object is well formed with a domed top and slightly concave base. The weight of the object is close to 12 pennies (1 shilling), 1/20 ounce under the Tower pound system used in the 11th and 12th centuries. Diameter at base 12 mm, tapering to 9 mm at top, height 16 mm and weight 16.9 g.

DENO-FBBC5A: TOKEN
A cast uniface leaden token of medieval to post medieval date, (c. AD 1400 - 1700). The design shows curving segments or petals radiating from a central indentation, possible mill or wheel. Baylis type 68/ Powell type 3. The object appears damaged, possibly missing a section leaving a straight edge near the circumference. Diameter 19 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 6.4 g.

DENO-7FCC02: VESSEL
An assemblage of 12 pottery sherds making up an unglazed, wheel thrown vessel of medieval date. The fabric is orange-red with a reduced core (the thicker fragments of the base have a reduced grey core) with an oxidised dark grey margin on the interior and the exterior has a paler buff coloured margin. It is tempered with abundant quartz sand and shelly inclusions. There are abundant voids. The interior shows grooves from the wheel-throwing. The exterior shows impressions from straw surrounding the vessel prior to firing. The fragments may be combined to form what was probably a small storage or drinking vessel with an out-turned rim. Interior diameter of the rim is approximately 55 mm. The vessel has a rounded base and probably would not have stood upright on a firm surface, suggesting a hand-held dinking vessel, Possibly Norwich ware: Laing (2014) suggests such sandy, unglazed wares probably date from the 12th to 15th century.

DENO-D8FCEE: BROOCH
A heavily damaged, incomplete copper alloy Roman rosette brooch, dating to the second century (c. AD 120 - 200). Spring, pin and catchplate are missing. The plate is broken, the remaining fragment has a straight edge, near which on the reverse residual traces of the hinge housing can be seen. Other edges are jagged indicating breaks. A large, 18 mm by 12 mm, oval cell with raised sides is attached to the plate, this contains red enamel, pitted and possibly heat damaged. To one side of this is a circular cell, 5 mm diameter, with vestiges of blue enamel. Probably this was balanced by a similar cell on the other side. Below the oval cell the plate is missing, some copper sheet is folded back, suggesting the plate may have extended out and below, but it is not possible to extimate the shape or extent. No exact parellel for this object can be found, but Macreath dates rosette brooches with enamel cells to the second century. Overall length 20 mm, width 18 mm, thickness 8 mm and weight 3.8 g.

DENO-D859A2: FINGER RING
A fragment of a copper alloy finger ring of probable post medieval date (c. AD 1600 - 1800). Only the shoulders and bezel remain; the shoulders are broken off, revealing a shallow D-section either side of the point of attachment, apparently braised or welded, to a broad, sub-rectangular bezel. The bezel has upper and lower edges curving inwards, whilst the other edges curve slightly outwards, creating a cassini oval, or blunt bow-tie shape. The front of the bezel is flat, apparently undecorated and has dark green patina, the bezel measures 17 mm by 9 mm. Approximate diameter 19 mm , width of hoop at shoulders 6mm, thickness 2 mm and weight 5.9 g.

DENO-D7D690: BRACELET
A fragment of a probable beaded bracelet of late Iron Age or Roman date (c. 10 BC - AD 100). The fragment is badly corroded. It comprises of four globular 'beads' on a curving band. The corrosion is too advanced to identify any surface decoration. The curvature is slight, suggesting a large diameter, possibly a necklace rather than a bracelet; however, the fragmentary nature of the object means this is speculative. The beads are spaced out and appear to decrease in diameter towards the end of the fragment. The smallest one at the end (6 mm diameter) may be a collared terminal, but the corrosion means it is not possible to be certain. The object has a pitted surface and light green patina Overall length 34 mm, overall thickness 9 mm and weight 9.1 g. A similar object is described in record NMGW-67A7B4.

DENO-D76123: BEAD
A bone bead or button of possible early medieval date (c. AD 475 - 800). The object is a disc with one flat face and one convex. The convex side shows peck marks and other signs of working, the flat side is smooth. There is a neatly drilled central perforation, circular, 2 mm diameter. There is green staining around the central perforation, probably from a copper alloy attachment rivet or loop. Diameter 13 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 0.5 g. A similar object is described in record KENT-A85FA5. A similar bead was recovered from a sunken feature building at the nearby Anglo Saxon settlement at Lyminge, which was suspended on a copper-alloy ring, which may be the same case here as suggested by the copper alloy staining. See: Lyminge Excavations 2013 /14Interim report on the University of Reading excavations at Lyminge Kent, Thomas G and Knox A.

DENO-D6B9B1: COIN
A possible love-token of post medieval date. A silver coin, probably a sixpence of William III (AD 1694 - 1702), the leters GUL can be faintly discerned. Polished on both faces until virtually no details can be seen, then creased or folded along the diameter. The letter G has been stamped twice in the centre of one face, with each G at 180 degrees to the other. Love tokens tended to be formed of a double-fold, or S-bend. This coin seems to have a single crease. This might indicate it was used to solomnise some pledge or oath, or form some apotropaic function. Diameter 18 mm, thickness >1mm abd weight 1.5 g.

DENO-D65489: SPEARHEAD
An incomplete cast copper alloy socketed spearhead, of middle to late Bronze Age date (c. 1200 - 800 BC). The spear head is narrow and triangular, with a lozenge-sectioned midrib extending to the tip. The tip is bent through approximately 20 degrees, it is not possible to say if this is pre or post depositional. The other end of the spearhead terminates in an apparently old break. This reveals the midrib to be hollow, having a neat circular cavity 5 mm diameter, at least 14 mm deep, probably more but currently blocked with compacted material. The spear head is covered in a thick dark green copper patina that is chipped/abraded in parts, underneath this patina the object is light green. This represents only a small fragment of the spear, therefore it is not possible to classify the form of the complete object, dating is by comparison to similar objects on this database such as, NARC-8E2968 and SOM-DD8385. Overall length 72 mm, width 16 mm tappering to 4 mm at tip, overall thickness 9 mm and weight 24.1 g.

DENO-6F1E1B: TOKEN

DENO-6E68D4: TOKEN
A lead alloy disk, possibly a weight but probably a token or tally (c. AD 1450 - 1600). The disk is circular and slightly plano-convex. The convex side has very faint markings which could possibly be lettering. Diameter 18 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 6.9 g.

DENO-6DE87A: COIN

The brooch is comprised of the head and bow; the foot, pin, and catchplate are missing. The head of the brooch has the typical oval shape of the trumpet brooch, although heavily abraded. The back of the head is slightly concave with a the corroded remnants of the spring mechanism in place.The main bow is straight and has three collars in the centre region.The bow then tapers to the foot, which is missing along with the catchplate The object has a light brown surface with patches of bright green patina. Length 54 mm, width 19 mm, thickness 5.48 mm and weight 21 g.

DENO-30037D: FLOOR TILE
A fragment of medieval floor tile (c. AD 1400 - 1500). Surface fabric pale red orange evenly tempered, sparse inclusions. Interior slightly reduced.

DENO-2F2FE5: STRAINER
A copper alloy object which is possibly part of an attachment plate, possibly from a skimmer or similar impliment. Possible date late medieval to post medieval ( c. AD 1500 - 1750). The object is in the form of a blunt trapezoid, with a rivet centrally placed at one end. The rivet is attaching a circular boss with an old break at one end. Possibly this extended as the stem of a handle.The object has a light green patina, with darker green patches. Length 43 mm, width 20 mm, tapering to 14 mm, thickness 1.5 mm and weight 7.9 g.

DENO-2C1BA4: FINGER RING
A possible medieval to post medieval lead alloy finger ring (c. AD 1300 - 1800). The bezel appears to consist of layered sheets of sub-circular lead alloy forming a sandwich with some unidentified material between, reminiscent of a cloth-seal. The hoop is formed from a band of lead alloy 5 mm wide, forming a hoop with an internal diameter of 11 mm. The hoop is bent and distorted. The front of the bezel is flat and undecorated, it has some jagged edges and patches of a darker material which may indicate some object was attached by solder or resin. One possibility is that this object is in fact the handle of a candle holder, however examples on this database are of copper alloy rather than lead alloy. It is also possible the object is a form of pilgrim souvenir, with some thaumaturgic material sandwiched between the lead, such as cloth soaked in holy water or martyr's blood, or cloth purporting to be from the clothing of a saint etc. This would suggest a medieval date. Similar objects are recorded on this database as finger rings, dated as post-medieval. See records NARC-A20AB1 and NARC-1B3074. Thickness 6 mm, diameter 18 mm and weight 96 g.

DENO-F6038C: PILGRIM BADGE
A cast lead alloy probable pilgrim badge of likely medieval date, c. AD 1400-1500. The object is in the form of a seven-spoked wheel. It has a flat reverse, with rim and spokes D-shape in section. Casting flash remains on several spokes and around the central hub. The metal's surface has a powdery grey patina. The object is probably a pilgrim badge representing St Catherine of Alexandria, as the wheel was a symbol associated with her martyrdom. Diameter: 30 mm, thickness: 3 mm. and weight: 9.5 g. Similar examples are published in Spencer (1998, 179) and Mitchiner (1986, 185).

DENO-F5C0DE: SEAL MATRIX
An incomplete copper alloy and stone fob or pendant seal of post-medieval date, c. 18th century. The object is sub-oval in plan and and comprises a central light green-grey stone bound by a narrow copper alloy loop. This border is sub-rectangular in section and slightly thicker than the stone so that the stone appears as recessed in the seal. This stone is an intaglio, incised with a design which is now too abraded to be distinguished clearly, although it possibly depicts a right-facing bust. The metal's surface is mid-green, covered in a thin layer of corrosion. Length: 20 mm, width: 11 mm, thickness: 3 mm and weight 2.1 g. A similar object recorded on the PAS database is IOW-E3D89F.

DENO-CD63C3: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Colchester derivative brooch of Roman date (AD 75-175) with Polden Hill type spring fixture. The short cylindrical wings are decorated with vertical incised grooves arranged in two groups of two on either wing, and there are also two steps on either side up to the brooch's head. Each wing is capped by a sub-circular pierced plate which holds the spring's axis bar. The wings still house a corroded spring of at least eight turns, although the pin is now missing. A pierced lug holds the spring's chord at the crest of the bow. Below this, on the outer face, the sub-oval section bow descends, tapering only slightly to its lower leg.

An incomplete cast copper alloy Colchester derivative Roman brooch, probably with Rearhook spring fixture, dating to c. AD 40-70. The spring and pin are now missing, but whould have been secured behind the semi-cylindrical wings by means of a rearward-facing hook which has also broken off. The wings are undecorated and extending c. 16 mm on either side of the narrow head. The D-shape section bow arches outwards slightly from the head before curling back and tapering gently to the lower leg. The bow terminates in an old, worn break before the foot. The remains of a long catchplate, missing its turn, extend back on the reverse. The outer bow is decorated with a central longitudinal ridge, or arris, with possible transverse hatching down the length, now obscured by a thin layer of corrosion over the brooch's surface. The metal has a rough dark green patina. Length: 52 mm, width: 39 mm, thickness (of bow): 8 mm. tapering to 2 mm. and weight: 11 g.

DENO-132D35: KNIFE
A fragment of a possible copper alloy knife or razor handle of Roman date, c. AD 150-300. The fragment comprises a hooked terminal with elliptical section, terminating in an old break across the handle end, which retains a socketed rectangular-sectioned fragment of a corroded iron tang. The hooked/curved end may have formed the joint with another element. The fragment's surface contains cast linear decoration. The copper alloy surface has an irregular mid-green patina.

DENO-10D381: WEIGHT
A lead alloy cast weight or spindle whorl, probably of early medieval to medieval date (c. AD 700 - 1200). It is possible the object is a conical spindle whorl, Walton Rogers type B, which has been pinched at one end to form a misshapen cone, alternatively it could be a conical steelyard weight which has lost the iron core and wire. The object is sub-circular at the base, with a central perforation 9 mm in diameter. The apex is pinched and the perforation closed to a slit 8 mm long. It is not clear if this is accidental damage or design. Diameter 24 mm and height 14 mm. The object weighs 40 g, close to the Roman sescuncia weight unit, 1/8 libra, at 41.1 g.

DENO-107B3D: STEELYARD WEIGHT

Length 44 mm, width 18 mm, thickness 2 mm and weight 9.5 g.

DENO-808564: STRAP END
A late Anglo-Saxon copper alloy openwork strap end formed from a folded sheet of copper alloy (c. AD 900 - 1100). The sides are parallel, the open (riveted) end is rectangular, the fold end abruptly narrows to two hinge strips, creating a blunt tongue-shape. The rear plate is undecorated and has two 1 mm drilled rivet holes with counterparts on the front plate. The front plate has openwork decoration reminiscent of the Winchester style (Thomas class E , dated 10th - 11th Century). There are traces of gilding along with a reddish brown patina Thomas describes as characteristic of the class (Thomas, G, FRG datasheet 33, 2004). The decoration may be zoomorphic, showing a beast with a three tipped tail. Length 32 mm, width 16 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 4.8 g

DENO-7FC2BE: COIN
A corroded Roman coin, by size and weight possibly a dupondius, of uncertain ruler, dating to the period c. AD 43 - 260. Uncertain reverse type and mint. Diameter 24 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 7.5 g

DENO-7F9B19: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead musket ball of post medieval, probably 17th - 18th century, date. Weight suggests it was more likely used with a carbine than a musket. There is a slight sprue which has been neatly trimmed. There are some dents and deformations which may be due to set-up (contact with the barrel) or post-depositional chewing by grazing animals. Weight 16.4 g, diameter 14 mm.

DENO-7F2AAD: SPINDLE WHORL
A cast lead alloy spindle whorl, cylindrical with slightly rounded upper edges, Walton Rogers type B, dating c. AD 700-1200. It has a well formed central perforation 9 mm diameter, showing possible signs of wear. Diameter 25 mm, height 9 mm and weight 39.3 g.

DENO-7EE684: COIN
A worn and clipped silver post medieval half groat of Elizabeth I (AD 1558-1603), dating c. AD 1590 - 1592. The obverse is extremely worn compared to the reverse, possibly as the result of deliberate polishing. Tower mint, hand initial mark. Diameter 15 mm, thickness 1 mm, weight 0.6 g.

DENO-7E026E: COIN
A worn and clipped medieval silver penny of Edward I (AD 1272 - 1307) or Edward II (AD 1307 - 1327) dating to AD 1307 - 1309. Class 10cf3. Durham mint. Diameter 19 mm, thickness 1 mm and weight 1.1 g.

DENO-7D9784: BELL
An incomplete crotal bell of post medieval date (c. AD 1550 -1750). Approximately one half of the object is missing. The object originally comprised two hemispheres divided by a raised horizontal circumferential rib. Most of the lower hemisphere is missing. One sound hole remains in the upper hemisphere. There is an integral rectangular suspension loop, broken at the top, projecting from the upper hemisphere. Both hemispheres are decorated, the upper has lobes or petals radiating from the pole, the lower seems to have had a sunburst pattern. Diameter 28 mm, thickness 2 mm and weight 15.1 g.

DENO-7D29BC: BELL
A small copper alloy bell of medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1250 - 1700). The bell is spherical with a single sound slot across the lower hemisphere. The sound pea is still be present, the bell still rings. There is a circumferential seam indicating the sphere was formed by two soldered halves. There is a suspension lug with a neatly drilled 1.5 mm diameter hole, rising from the top of the upper hemisphere. There is no obvious soldering, the suspension lug may be integrally cast. This small bell could be a dress accessory (rumbler bell) or a hawking bell. Egan and Pritchard (1991: pp. 338-339) date rumbler bells to 13th - 15th century. Hawking bells continued to be used up to modern times. Read (1995: pp. 88-89) describes bells used as horse harness decoration. Diameter 13 mm and weight 1.6 g.

DENO-7CBAB1: COIN
A worn post-medieval hammered silver groat of Elizabeth I (AD 1558-1603) dating to 1560-1. North 1986. Probably London mint. Obverse: Crowned bust left.

DENO-EC9395: SPINDLE WHORL
A cast lead alloy spindle whorl, cylindrical with slightly rounded upper edges, Walton Rogers type B, dating c. AD 700-1200. It has a well formed central perforation, 9 mm diameter. The patina is yellowish-grey in colour with patchy areas of dark grey. Diameter 27 mm, height 9 mm and weight 46.3 g.

DENO-EC1579: FINGER RING
Coper alloy Roman finger ring fragment dating to the period c. AD 45 - 300. The ring has a large circular bezel. The hoop is missing. The bezel is decorated with recessed cells formed from arcs which create a cruciform or star effect with a circular hub. The inner cell created by the arcs contains red enamel, the hub and the outer cells are filled with a pale material, probably degraded enamel, possibly blue although the original colour is difficult to determine. The shoulders are undecorated and taper to form the hoop, which is now missing, the shoulders terminating after 9 mm. The back of the bezel appears to be infilled with wax. This may have been a repair or adjustment in antiquity. The bezel measures 20 mm diameter and is 4 mm thick. The object weighs 9.7 g.

DENO-EB7FA5: AMPULLA
A damaged and incomplete lead alloy ampulla of medieval date (c. AD 1250 -1550). The object is bag-shaped, the upper part including the neck is missing, the lower part terminates in a jagged tear. The object is covered in dents and abrasions, probably from grazing animals. The entire surface has a dusty grey patina. Width 40 mm, extant height 37 mm. Thickness 4 mm. Weight 40.7 g.

DENO-EB17D2: TOKEN
A uniface lead alloy token or tally, probably of post-medieval date (c. AD 1500 - 1800). Decorated with raised lines in the form of a six pointed star formed by overlaid triangles. Two pellets in the centre. Powell type 27. Diameter 16 mm, thickness 2 mm, weight 3.3 g

DENO-EAA32C: HARNESS PENDANT
An incomplete gilded copper alloy medieval harness pendant (c. AD 1200 - 1440). It has a cruciform shape, one arm, the lower, is missing, the left and right arms have lobed terminals with incised cross hatch decoration. The upper arm extends into a suspension loop, now bent downwards and to the right. This would have extended 11 mm from the arm; the loop is formed by a drilled circular hole. The central panel is sub-rectangular and decorated with incised cross hatching. There is a round headed stud in situ, centrally placed. The head of the stud is 5 mm diameter, the shaft is 3 mm diameter. Width is 30 mm, extant height 29 mm, thickness 1 mm and weight 4.7 g. Griffiths suggests gilded pendants of this type date to 13th and 14th century.

DENO-E99CA8: STRAP END
An incomplete cast copper alloy late Roman artefact known as a nail cleaner strap end (Eckardt with Crummy: 2006); it could have been either or both (c. AD 350 - 410). The body is a lozenge shape plate with incised decoration crudley depicting a peacock facing the tree of life. The terminal is squared off with a slight V-shaped removal within a longer triangular groove on the upper surface. This gives the strap-end a slight fork or bifid end. Though the prongs of the fork may be too short to be effectual, it is clearly reminiscent of a nail cleaner. The other end has projecting lugs, one of which is broken, there appears to be an old break at the end, possibly there was an attachment loop. Length 47 mm, width 11 mm, thickness 2 mm, weight 5 g. Although these are described as nail cleaner strap ends, their precise function is as yet unclear. Nail cleaner strap ends have been argued to be unique to late Roman Britain (Eckardt with Crummy: 2006), the majority of dated examples are from late 4th to early 5th century contexts.

DENO-E8F75C: MOUNT
An incomplete post medieval copper alloy decorative mount, possibly from a box or a book (c. AD 1500-1800). The object consists of an openwork trilobe plate with kidney shaped cut outs. There are old breaks on the rear edge, suggesting there may have been additional loops, the apex terminal is possibly a lis. The reverse has two projecting integrally cast attachment studs, circular in section, 1 mm diameter, arranged laterally. Length 24 mm, width 16 mm, thickness 1.5 mm and weight 2.4 g.

An incomplete silver Roman siliqua of Valens (AD 364-378), dating to the period c. AD 364-367 (Reece period 19). RESTITV-TOR REIP reverse type depicting the Emperor standing facing, head right, holding labarum and Victory on globe. Mint of Arles. As RIC IX, p. 63, no. 6d. Diameter 18 mm and weight 1.6 g. The coin is broken and glued. Approx 20% of the object is missing.

DENO-58E221: SCABBARD
An incomplete and damaged copper alloy sheet metal chape of late medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1400-1600). The object is formed from a folded sheet of thin copper alloy and has an overlapping seam on one side, forming a flattened conical tube, the tip is broken and mostly missing, it appears to have been formed by the folding inwards of triangular flaps. The surface is undecorated and has dark brown patina with mottles of green. Overall length 43 mm, width 18 mm, tapering to 13 mm, weight 6.5 g.

DENO-583D29: BELLOWS
A cast and tooled copper alloy nozzle of post medieval to modern date(c. AD 1700 - 1900). Possibly from a hose or set of bellows. The object is a tube with an opening 9 mm diameter at one end, which constricts to 4 mm at the other. The object is generally cylindrical, with two spheriform knobs at the wider end, probably intended to engage with a rubber or canvas hose. There are two encircling ridges at 41 mm and 90 mm. Overall length 134 mm, diameter 18 mm and weight 133 g.

DENO-56DF88: MOUNT
A copper alloy cruciform mount, probably of post-medieval to modern date (c. AD 1800 - 1900). The object is in the form of a cross-crosslet and appears to have been pressed from a thin sheet of metal. There is no obvious attachment lug or rivet, but there is an abraded area on one face which may indicate solder. Similar objects on the database include OXON-95FEF6 and HAMP-BB4F16 Length 19 mm, width 19 mm, thickness 0.5 mm, weight 0.8 mm A cross-crosslet is often mistaken for a Bottony Cross. The Episcopal Church declares their symbol of the cross as a cross-crosslet, but it was also used in heraldry; used by many noblemen such as Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, and Baron Willoughby de Broke. The cross-crosslet was associated with the The Knights of the Holy Sepulchre. The suggestion that this is a pilgrim emblem has also been suggested by Read (1995, 114-115; ref. 728), however this object seems to be machine-pressed, indicating a later date.

DENO-566094: BROOCH
An incomplete and damaged copper alloy Roman head stud brooch ( c. AD 75 - 200). The head is broken, stubs of the wings remain and part of an integrally cast circular loop. Hinge and pin are missing, A circular stud protrudes from the front of the bow, 5mm diameter. Below this are three wedge shaped cells, the lowest of which is elongated into a triangle pointing down to the foot. Probably these would have housed enamel, no trace remains. The bow is D-sectioned and tapers to a small, circular sectioned foot. Traces of a catchplate remain on the reverse of the lower section of the bow. The brooch has been bent so that the head is touching the catchplate. No exact match can be found but the brooch resembles those illustrated in Mackreth, chapter 4, plate 71. Length (in current condition) 29 mm, width 14 mm and weight 7.6 g.

DENO-559629: DISC
A damaged disc of lead alloy of uncertain date. The object has a raised rim with indented decoration, possibly lettering, the pattern can not be clearly seen due to wear and damage. In the centre of the disk is a raised pellet 4mm diameter; this does not show on the reverse so appears to be a decorative feature rather than an attachment rivet. On the reverse there appears to be a linear mark running across the diameter, which may represent some soldered feature such as a pin or hinge. This is uncertain because of damage. The object is broken more or less in half by a jagged break, apparently old. The object may be a disc brooch. It also resembles a mount or escutcheon from an early medieval hanging bowl, but lacks the decoration usually seen. It also has a resemblance to some post medieval weights. Diameter 41 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 11.2 mm.

DENO-765295: HARNESS FITTING
A cast copper alloy harness fitting or strap slide of late Iron Age or early Roman date (c. 50 BC - AD 200). The main body is in the shape of two ovate 'tear-shaped' elements forming a figure-of-eight. In the centre of each element is a raised circular dome or boss, with well defined, D-sectioned borders surrounding. The reverse is flat with a rectangular loop made to fit a belt or strap. Similar objects are recorded on this database, for example NMS-3798B4 and NCL-DD1C05. Length 37 mm, width 17 mm, thickness 4 mm and weight 17.3 g The PAS database record for YORYM-FDAB3C contains the following discussion of this type of strap fitting and its variants: "Strap fittings dating to the late Iron Age to early Roman periods are becoming increasingly common finds. Those featuring double pointed ovate elements (such as KENT-6ECB7D, NMS-3798B4, CAM-17F455 and LVPL-8AC5D0) are now a well-known group of indigenous British fittings most often associated with distinctly 'British' sites in northern areas. A number having been reported to the PAS, see: KENT-D13638, NMS-3798B4, CAM-17F455, LVPL-8AC5D0 and LVPL-FC6ED5. Despite few securely dated examples a date of 1st and 2nd century is most commonly cited thanks to examples from Traprain Law (Scotland), South Shields and Piercebridge (both in County Durham). Greater variation in style and decoration are however becoming apparent through recording with PAS. See: YORYM-4FB357, NMS-46A435, LVPL-9BDC3A and YORYM-9E312A."

DENO-7595A4: SPINDLE WHORL
A incomplete and damaged cast lead alloy spindle whorl, bi-conical, Walton Rogers form C2 dating from the late medieval or early post medieval period (c. AD 1450 - 1550). Both surfaces are decorated with radiating raised lines, probably originally six, however one edge of the whorl is missing, approximately 40% of the total mass, apparently from an old break as all surfaces are covered with a dusty grey-white patina. Diameter 28 mm, central perforation 8 mm, thickness 11 mm and weight 30.1 g

DENO-756A23: SPINDLE WHORL
A cast lead alloy spindle whorl, bi-conical, Walton Rogers form C2 dating from the late medieval or early post medieval period (c. AD 1450 - 1550). Both surfaces are decorated with raised lines forming a five pointed star, on a field of raised pellets There appears to be a stub of casting sprue on the edge.There is a well-formed central perforation 9 mm diameter. Diameter 30 mm, thickness 10 mm and weight 34.4 g

A solid cast lead alloy toy animal, possibly a goat or dog. The animal is wearing a collar. The rear legs are broken, and the feet of the front legs are missing. The scale appears to be 1:32, the solid casting suggests foreign manufacture, date modern (c. AD 1920 - 1960). Length 24 mm, Height 22 mm and weight 9.1 g.

DENO-75189B: WEIGHT
A crudely cast lead weight, the object is roughly cylindrical with flattened areas on the side. An off centre perforation runs vertically through the object, 3 mm diameter on one surface, 6 mm on the other. The object could be a loom weight or net weight. Such weights are difficult to date, as the form is found from the Roman to post medieval periods. Diameter 20 mm, height 18 mm Weight 52.1 g

DENO-74C2E1: VESSEL
A cast and possibly wrought lead alloy cup or container. The object is semi-circular, it is difficult to determine if the shape is original or the result of an old break, as the terminal surface is very regular and runs exactly across the diameter. If the shape is original, then the vessel was open on one side, which makes its function difficult to fathom. One possibility is a bird feeder, to sit flush against the wall of the bird box. The base is slightly concave, the walls bulge to form a circumferential band then taper towards the rim. The outer surface is rough in places with inclusions, probably from the casting process, the inner surface is smoother. The object has a dusty white patina. Lead cup-like containers are recorded on this database, for example HESH-9FCB93, and suggested functions include grain and powder measures and blood-letting cups. Medieval to post medieval date, c. AD 1400 - 1700 Interior diameter 46 mm, thickness 7 mm, tapering to 3 mm and weight 90.4 g.

DENO-73E6EF: SPINDLE WHORL
A cylindrical lead object with a circular central perforation, countersunk on one side. The object resembles a spindle whorl and has suitable mass; however the central perforation appears to be unusually well formed, with a slight burr on the underside suggesting it was drilled rather than cast. The surfaces are undecorated and have a dusty white patina. Countersunk spindle whorls are recorded on this database, for example record KENT-DCBB76, but there is also the possibility the object has another function, such as a component of a valve. Date range is therefore medieval to modern c. AD 1300 - 1900. Diameter 29 mm, central perforation 9 mm, countersink diameter 11 mm, thickness 8 mm, weight 40.5 g

DENO-E2AA3D: COIN

DENO-27D59A: BROOCH
A fragment of an early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) cast copper alloy cruciform brooch, dating to the c. AD 550-600. The fragment consists of the headplate and a short extension of the bow. The headplate is wide and rectangular with small, integrally-cast half-round knops at the centre of either side and top edge. These knops have narrowed waists and collars, and shallow hollow cavities on the brooch's reverse. The obverse face of the the headplate is decorated with a set of vertical mouldings on the outer thirds: a shallow concave line to the inside and a line of concave dots to the outside. The reverse of the central panel retains the worn remains of the lug which would have supported the pin fixture. From the lower edge of the rectangular headplate, the brooch's D-sectioned bow extends outwards c. 4 mm before it abruptly terminates is an old break. The metal's surface has a light green patina. Width 61 mm, length 38 mm and weight 20.2 g.

DENO-273D36: HOOK
A complete copper alloy rail hook, of probable post-medieval to modern date, c. AD 1800-1940. The object is rectangular in section, and sub-triangular in plan with concave sides which taper to a narrow, squared lower edge. This blunted nadir corresponds to the portion of the plate which curves back onto itself to form a rounded hook. The plate is stamped with roughly shield-shaped motifs arranged in a triangular pattern, with four of the shield motifs at top, three beneath these, followed by two motifs in a row and one at the bottom of the plate before the recurve. These stamps are concave when viewed from the hook's reverse and raised or convex from the obverse face. Possible traces of gilding remain in patches. The metal has a mid-green/brown patina.

The obverse is cast in a design of four large pellets arranged in a cruciform pattern, with additional raised decoration between the pellets which appears to be crosses or possible foliate motifs, but is now too worn to categorise confidently. This is all enclosed in a short circular raised rim before now chipped edges. In the centre of the reverse is a stub: the remains of an integral attachment loop. There are also worn raised moulded letters: 'S', a barred 'A' and possibly an 'M'. The metal has a mid-grey patina. Diameter: 21 mm, thickness: 5 mm and weight: 8.2 g. This object closely resembles a slightly more complete button found nearby, recorded on the PAS database as DENO-2576ED.

DENO-93CECB: CROSS
A cast lead alloy Latin cross, probably of medieval date, c. AD 1100-1500. The arms and shaft are sub-rectangular (rectangular with rounded corners) in section. There is no perforation, loop or obvious feature for attachment, although there are possibly grooves visible below the junction of the arms, and some scratches or incised lines across the arms, which could indicated binding or attachment by sewing. The base of the shaft is slightly tapered, which may indicate the cross could have been mounted or inserted in some larger frame or object. The metal's surface has a rough, cream-coloured patina. Length 33 mm, width 26 mm, thickness 4 mm and weight 9.6 g. This object was possibly a pilgrim badge or touch-cross carried for apotropaic purposes.

The object consists of a pedestal style, with a flat circular base 12 mm in diameter, and an oval sectioned shaft. There are a sequence of circumferential raised collars on the lower portion of the shaft. The shaft extends 31 mm from the uppermost collar and terminates in an old break. The shaft would probably have folrmed a pick. The base would be used for tamping down the tobacco in the bowl of a pipe as it is being packed, as well as for crushing the ash together to aid relighting, whilst the narrow pick would be used to clear debris from the bow. Overall length 58 mm, width 4 mm and weight 7.7 g.

DENO-920F29: VESSEL
A rim fragment from a cast copper alloy vessel of probable late medieval to post-medieval date (c. AD 1400-1650). The fragment is sub-rectangular in plan with a bevelled rim. The curvature of the rim suggests a complete vessel diameter of 180 mm. The metal's surface has a smooth mid-grey patina.

The loop is expanded and flattened at both its ends; one for a hinged junction with one end of the bar, and the other for insertion through a slot in the other end of that bar. The latter terminal bears an aperture of 6 mm in diameter, which would permit the ring to be locked. The round sectioned bars presumably permitted the object to be threaded through a beast's nose without causing discomfort. Suggested date: AD 1750 - 1900 Length 106 mm, width 69 mm, thickness 9 mm and weight 137.3 g.

DENO-6AD944: PURSE
A possible fragment of copper alloy purse frame of last medieval to post-medieval date, c. AD 1500-1600. The fragment is semi-circular in plan, probably representing half of an annular frame. The frame is sub-triangular in section with a central ridge. One end of the bar terminates in a raised collar at right angles to the ridge, beyond which is a flattened piece which is sub-annular in plan but broken approximately halfway across. The other end of the bar also terminates in an old, flat break. The metal has a mid-dark green patina. Length: 53 mm, Width: 9 mm, thickness: 3 mm and weight: 18.9 g.

DENO-6A3D4E: HARNESS FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy horse harness fitting, possibly a terret. No exact parallel to this object has been found on this database; however most copper alloy terrets with external projections are ascribed a Roman date (c. AD 43 - 410). The object consists of a large (45 mm internal diameter) D-shaped frame loop with slightly bevelled edges, circular in section at the top of the frame, with a flattened rectangular sectioned bar at the bottom. There are two projecting spurs or spikes on either side of the frame, one of which is broken to a stub. The intact spur extends 10 mm from the frame. The object is slightly distorted, giving the D shape of the frame a lop-sided appearance. Possibly this is from post-depositional damage. Width overall is 58 mm, thickness 6 mm and weight 35.6 g.

DENO-69B25D: STRAP END
A complete cast copper alloy strap end of medieval date, c. AD 1250-1500. The object is sub-rectangular (isoceles triangle with curved point) in plan, and rectangular in section. It is comprised of two copper alloy sheets, one flat and one U-shape in profile, which are fastened together by two circular copper alloy rivets still in place near to the attachment end. The exterior plate appears undecorated, but it is possible there is decoration under the thin layer of corrosion product covering the metal's surface. The reverse and straight sides are plain and undecorated. Length: 45mm, width: 22 mm, thickness: 4 mm. and weight: 10.4 g.

DENO-691249: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy strap fitting of medieval date (c. AD 1100-1500). The surviving element is a stirrup-shaped loop with a D-shape section. The flattened bar at the bottom of the loop has a centrally placed drilled hole c. 1 mm in diameter, which would have housed the rivet attaching the missing element. At the apex of the loop is a collared knop which is 5 mm in diameter and projects out from the loop 6 mm. The metal is covered in a layer of light corrosion and has an irregular mid-green/brown patina. The object would have formed part of a two-piece swivel. Such swivels were used in a variety of functions such as leashes. Height: 26 mm, width: 18 mm, thickness: 1.5 mm and weight: 3 g.

DENO-689E6B: TOKEN
A complete cast uniface lead alloy token of post-medieval date, c. AD 1600-1800, corresponding to Powell type 2.

The cow has a bell around its neck. British manufactures such as Hornby or Brittons tended to make hollow cast animals in 32 scale, so this is probably a foreign import. Length 38 mm, height 19 mm, thickness 7 mm and weight 23.4 g.

DENO-449150: MOUNT
A probable medieval to post medieval copper alloy mount, probably dating to c. AD 1200 - 1550. The mount is cruciform, with each arm terminating in a blunt lozangiform point. A moulded border deliniates the cross shape, although three of the arms show damage at the edges. A thick blunt rivet, 9 mm in diameter, projects from the reverse.

Feathers are picked out with incised lines and the moulded eyes and rounded beak are well defined. The tail fans out in a thin, rectangular-sectioned trapezoid from the body. Both of the bird's legs are broken with clawed feet now missing. The legs begin to splay out before the break but it is not clear how the figure would have been mounted; records of similar objects on the PAS database, such as NMS-E9AF55 and WILT-21E7D7, suggest that these bird figurines may have been staff terminals. The metal's surface has a mid-dark green patina. Length: 46.2 mm, width: 10 mm and weight: 13.9 g.

DENO-438603: WEIGHT
An incomplete lead alloy and iron steelyard weight of Roman date (c. AD 43 - 410).

DENO-43329B: VESSEL
A small medieval cast copper alloy vessel with spherical base and tubular neck with the remains of a pair of suspension lugs, dating to c. AD 1100 - 1350. The form and size is consistent with the so-called 'mercury flasks', these were once believed to have held mercury but were more likely intended to hold holy oil (chrism) and presumably comes from a travelling chrismatory, or set of three holy oils used in the medieval church. The vessel appears cast in one piece, and has a jagged hole where the base meets the neck. Diameter of base 31 mm, of neck 13.2 mm, height 41.2 mm, thickness 2.8 mm and weight 36.2 g.

DENO-425A9C: COIN

DENO-41DE29: VESSEL
A copper alloy vessel fragment (pot leg from a cooking vessel), of late medieval to post-medieval date, c AD 1500-1800. The object is sub-rectangular in form and triangular in section with a pronounced central rib. The leg has a straight broken upper edge and extends to a foot, bent at a 90-degree angle below a moulded linear collar. The foot section is short, ending in a smooth break. The metal's surface has a mid-green patina. Length: 50 mm, width: 20 mm and weight: 71.7 g. Butler et al. (2009) suggest there were four main types of leg used and would classify this is a Type C, in use from the late 16th century and probably from a skillet or cauldron. Copper alloy vessels were generally replaced by cast iron in the 19th century.

DENO-418FA6: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A copper alloy object in the shape of a letter 'S' in a serif font, of probable post-medieval date. There are no lugs, holes or other forms of attachment. The object has a rectangular section and both faces are undecorated and flat. One end of the 'S' is slightly bent, exaggerating the upturn of the serif. It is possible the object was used as an embossing stamp or template, but could be a decorative letter mount or used for another purpose. Serif fonts became less popular from the mid 18th century, so it is unlikely to date much later. Length 46 mm, width 28 mm, thickness 3.5 mm and weight 11.4 g.

The head has well defined features and hair curls to each side. On top of the crown/headpiece is a trapezoidal block which may have formed an attachment point for some other component. The rear of the object is hollow and flat, the neck terminates in an apparently old break. This object may be a mount, furniture fitting or possibly a component of a handle for a poker or similar impliment. Overall length 40.2mm, width 24mm, thickness 4.4mm and weight 55.3 g.

DENO-89C1A9: CHAFING DISH
A complete copper alloy chafing dish handle of post medieval date (c. AD 1500 - 1700). The handle loop is sub trapezoidal in plan with rounded corners (heart shaped with a flattened base).

It is 30.2 mm long, 20.9 mm wide, 4 mm thick and weighs 6.7 g. Similarly shaped examples are illustrated in Whitehead (2003: 98-9) who suggests that these buckles date from the post medieval period (AD 1660 - 1720) and were used as shoe or knee buckles.

DENO-880BCF: BODKIN
An incomplete copper alloy sack-cloth needle or bodkin, of uncertain date, probably post medieval (c. AD 1600 - 1800). The shaft is oval in section at its broader end, becoming more rectangular as it tapers. One end becomes a point, the other terminates in an old break, with the beginning of a pierced eye.

DENO-F3670C: TOKEN
A copper alloy coin, token or jetton probably of post medieval date (c. AD 1600-1800). The object is bent on two sides, forming an S-shape. The surface of the coin is heavily worn and corroded, so any inscriptions or designs are no longer visible. Coins bent into an S-shape are often referred to as "love tokens", but may also have served as a good luck charm. Diameter 27mm, thickness 2mm and weight 6.4g.

DENO-F31A5D: MEDALLION
A spelter medallion struck to commemorate the centenary of Wesleyan Methodism (AD 1839). Obverse shows bust of John Wesley, left. Inscription reads, 'JOHN WESLEY. M.A. BORN AT EPWORTH JUNE 17TH 1703.

DENO-F24D68: AMPULLA
A lead alloy ampulla of medieval date (c. AD 1250 -1550). The object is tongue-shaped, resembling a cloth or leather pouch. There are two suspension lugs which appear to be unpierced, although both are squashed against the sides and distorted. The end of the neck of the ampulla is rolled, but seems uncrimped, it is possible the ampulla is unused. Both faces appear undecorated, and both have a vertical rectangular indented flute or channel. On one side there is a protruding ridge or bar, 7 mm wide, at the bottom of this feature. Overall length 59 mm, width 30.8 mm, thickness 5.9 mm. Weight 62.4 g

DENO-62B9AB: FURNITURE FITTING
Two cast copper alloy zoomorphic objects, possibly handles, probably of late medieval to post-medieval date, c. AD 1500-1800. Each is in the form of a fish with a forked tail curving downwards, and long bodies decorated with scales, gills and eyes in moulded relief. From the mouths extend a rectangular-sectioned tang, c. 4 mm wide and 2mm thick, probably for fixing to some furniture element. One of the objects is more abraded than the other with its tang broken in a worn, flat break after 5mm. The other object's tang extends for c. 22 mm, which appears to be the original length as the end does not appear to be broken. Overall length of the longer of the two objects: 55 mm, width: 11 mm and thickness: 6 mm. Weight of both objects combined: 45.2 g.

An early medieval Northumbrian Styca possibly of Aethelred II (c. AD 840 - 844). Possibly not from an official mint. Some letters appear retrograde. Both faces show a cross with pelleted border. Moneyer possibly Eanred. North 187/8 Diameter 12.5 mm, thickness 1 mm and weight 0.5 g

DENO-60FE69: HARNESS PENDANT
A complete copper-alloy harness pendant of medieval date, c. AD 1340 - 1400. The pendant comprises of a quatrefoil plate with small arched projections between each lobe (elaborate quatrefoil). An integral attachment loop projects from the upper edge and is set at 90 degrees to the plate. The front surface bears a heraldic device featuring a lion passant left on a red enamel field within a square panel. The object is worn and eroded but appears to have a fleur-de-lis protruding from each side of the square. The design is very similar to that described and illustrated by Griffiths (2005), except in that example the design is on a mount with a hooked fastener. Griffiths notes the combination of the lion from the arms of England and the lis of the French suggests a date after AD 1340, when Edward III incorporated the lis into the arms of England. The colours are reversed, with the background being red rather than the usual blue, making this design allusive rather than truly heraldic, Overall length 33.8 mm, width 30 mm, thickness 3.4 mm and weight is 6.1 g.

DENO-603BD6: COIN
A complete medieval Irish silver penny of Henry III (AD 1216 - 1272) dating to the period AD 1251 - 1254. Mint of Dublin. Spink: 6235. Diameter 17 mm, thickness 1 mm and weight 0.8 g.

The body has an oval section and both surfaces are decorated with a dappled effect in moulded relief, representing scales. One end terminates in a blunt tail, the other in an apparently old break. Probably this would have formed a serpentine head. Overall length is 39 mm, width 8.3 mm at the waist tapering to 5.5 mm at the bends, thickness 4.5 mm and weight 9.2 g. Snake shaped belt fasteners were popular from the 17th to 20th centuries; it has been noted they seem associated with military and police organisations.

DENO-5F0EE6: SCABBARD
A possible sword scabbard chape. The object is conical, formed from a sheet of copper alloy rolled to form a tapering tube. There is a drilled circular hole, 2 mm in diameter, 25 mm from the open end of the tube, which would have housed an attachment pin or nail. Retained within the tube is a tapering section of whittled wood, which shows the stub of the attachment nail. The wood may have been a former to help the chape retain its shape and to aid the attachment to the leather of the scabbard. Alternatively, the object could be the terminal ferule of a walking stick or umbrella, of post medieval date (c. AD 1600 - 1800). The object is 91.8 mm in length, with a diameter of 19.5 mm tapering to 10 mm at the tip. The copper alloy sheet is 1 mm thick. It weighs, with the wooden plug, 30g. The object has a mottled light and dark green patina. Similar conical chapes on this database, such as YORYM-A6A984, are ascribed a medieval date (c. AD 1200 - 1400).

One face has a pattern of eight triangular segments that could be interpreted as a multi-armed cross (Baylis type 13) or a cartwheel/windmill mofif. The other face is less distinct but could be a ladder or frame (Powell type 13). It is possible that the object is a miller's token or tally. Object diameter is 18mm, thickness 3mm and weight 4.2g.

DENO-C4F053: PLATE
A fragment of a copper alloy letter press printing plate. Eleven lines of small, reversed type survive, letters being approximately 2 mm tall. Every edge is an apparently old break.

DENO-2F1FE9: CLOTH SEAL
A complete lead alloy cloth seal of post-medieval date, c. 18th to early 19th century AD. The object is sub-circular in plan, formed from two discs pressed together. One face is decorated with an outer circular border of raised pellets, enclosing a set of initials. This impression is cast off-centre so the border and initials on the right-side of the image are missing. The initials appear to read 'I F [...]' above '12[...]'. The '12[...]' could possibly have read '12K', referring to 12 head of top quality flax in the bale (cf. PAS database record LVPL-0AB256.) The other face of the seal is decorated with a field of at least five raised pellets between two raised lines, likely a portion of a raised squared shield with Latin cross bordered by pellets, which was cast off-centre.

Diameter 24 mm, thickness 1 mm and weight 2.2 g.

DENO-9E3288: PIN
An incomplete copper alloy early medieval disc-headed pin, dating to c. AD 700 - 900. The head and part of the shaft survive, in reasonable condition, but have been at some point coated in a thick black substance, possibly enamel paint. The copper alloy surface shows in a few places. The head is flat and circular with decoration on one face. The circumference is corroded and chipped, especially around the upper edge. The decoration consists of a cross with narrow arms, which join a circumferential line, part of which is lost to corrosion. In each of the quarters created by the cross is a beast in the Trewhiddle style, with distinct ears and eyes, and curving, interlacing tails. There is a sub-rectangular collar from which emerges a circular-sectioned shaft, terminating after 15 mm in an apparently old break. Diameter of disc 21 mm, length of shaft 3 mm, thickness 1 mm and weight 3 g. A similar object is recorded on this database: NCL-C799E1.

DENO-9D4757: BUCKLE
A complete cast copper alloy two-piece buckle of post-medieval date, c. AD 1690-1720. The frame is rectagnular in plan with curvilinear (scalloped) moulded exterior edges on the rectangle's short sides. The inner edges of the short sides are decorated with a beaded moulding. There is a separately cast iron bar rinning through the centre of the frame, which is now corroded, and which supports the long (c. 20 mm) stud chape and short pin. The entire object is curved in profile and so may be a shoe buckle designed to fit around the foot. Cf. Whitehead 1996, p. 99, no. 644. Length: 23 mm, width: 20 mm, thickness: 4 mm and weight: 4.8 g.

DENO-9CC5EB: COIN
A worn and clipped post-medieval silver groat of Mary I (AD 1553-1554), as North 1960, dating to c. AD 1553-1554. The coin is extremely worn, especially the obverse; it is possible it has been deliberately rubbed out/defaced. There is a crease mark across the coin which may also indicate it has been folded. Diameter 21 mm and weight: 1.1.g.

DENO-9BF0BA: FASTENING
A complete cast copper alloy dress fastener of post-medieval date (c. AD 1600-1800). The object is comprised of a sub-circular flat plate flanked by two sub-rectangular attachment lugs, one on either side. Each of these lugs is pierced by two small (<1mm diamter) circular holes. Rising from the sub-circular base is a cylindrical stud, 13 mm diameter, 5 mm in height. From one side of this, aproximately 1 mm above the attachment lug projects a tongue-shaped stub, possibly the remains of a hook, 2mm wide and 2 mm long. The stud is topped by a large, six-petaled plate which covers the circular base plate. This floral plate is adorned in the centre with a raised moulded cross or saltire, and in each petal with a raised star. Between the stars are raised bell or tun mouldings. dress fastener's metal surface has a dark green patina which is worn through at some of the raised central decoration on the obverse face. Length: 17 mm, width: 13 mm, height: 7 mm and weight: 3 g.

DENO-9ACB92: BELL
An incomplete cast copper alloy crotal bell of post-medieval date, c. 1760-1785. It is spherical with upper and lower hemispheres divided horizontally by a circumferential rib. An iregular break runs longditudinally, with approximately 60% of the bell remaining. At the apex of the remaining upper hemisphere is a trapezoidal-shaped integral suspension loop with drilled circular hole. The upper heisphere is decorated with a gadrooned pattern of lies radiating from the suspension loop. The lower hemisphere is adorned with petals radiating from a cartouche at the centre, which encircles a foundry mark, 'IL'. This mark most probably refers to John Latham, active in Wigan AD 1760-1783. The bell's metal has a smooth, dark green patina. Diameter: 35 mm, thickness: 4 mm and weight: 33.5 g.

DENO-0ACDF4: FURNITURE FITTING
A copper alloy loop, possibly a drop handle of post medieval date (c. AD 1600 - 1850). The object is formed from a circular-sectioned copper alloy bar 3 mm in diameter, with moulded beading along one surface, formed into a wide elliptical loop, joining back with itself to form a double-width projection 20 mm in length which terminates in a circular collar, from which a stub projects for 3 mm, ending in an old break. The projecting part is bent up at a slight angle to the loop, this may have been an intentional design, to allow it to hang free from the surface. The ellipse is 41 mm diameter, the overall length is 75 mm. The object weighs 13.6 g.

DENO-0A20A2: MOUNT
A cast copper alloy mount or possible brooch, probable post medieval to modern date (c. AD 1600 - 1850).

DENO-071A86: FIGURINE
A lead alloy fragment of a hollow-cast figurine, probably of post-medieval date, c. AD 1750-1900. The fragment includes the left upper portion of a winged torso. The joints at the waist and the shoulder have a dark residue, probably glue, indicating the figure was either cast in sections then fixed together, or repaired at point in the past. There is a jagged break down both the front and rear of the torso, and a smoother break around the neck. The figure could have represented an angel, perhaps from a nativity, a cherub or Victory figure. It appears to be male. The metal has a cream-colour patina. Height: 30 mm, width: 35 mm, thickness: 5 mm and weight: 17.1 g.

DENO-06995D: WEIGHT
A cast lead alloy object, probably a trade weight of late medieval to post medieval date c. AD 1200 - 1600. The object has a square base and well formed triangular sides, there is a shoulder or step 11 mm up from the base, forming a 'stepped pyramid'. The base has a circular groove 10 mm in diameter around a central core of ferrous wire, 2 mm in diameter, which runs through to the tip of the pyramid and probably formed a suspension loop. Height 21 mm, width 19 mm and weight 26.1 g. CF English mercantile ounce at 28.4 g or Unica at 27.4 g Egan (1998) illustrates a pyramidal weight and suggests these were used for precise weighing in the medieval period. (Fig 239, 1036) CF NARC-2C7D13 and CORN-5EFF2 on this database

A complete cast lead alloy biconical spindle whorl of post-medieval date, c. AD 1500-1800. Both surfaces are decorated with moulded radial lines separating the outer surfaces into six fields, each containing three pellets, as well as one motif of a chevron pattern of three converging lines pointing towards the whorl's central perforation. This perforation is moulded rather than drilled, is c. 10 mm in diameter, and is slightly distorted rather than perfectly cylindrical, probably due to post-depositional damage. The outer whorl has a narrow (3mm) medial circumferential rim. The metal's surface has a powderly pale cream-coloured patina. Diameter: 35 mm, thickness: 15 mm and weight: 68 g.

DENO-520838: MOUNT
A copper alloy fragment, probably of early medieval date, possibly part of a brooch or mount. The fragment is broadly rectangular, measuring 40 mm by 42 mm. One face is decorated with gilt line work with a series of circles arranged , as far as can be seen from the surviving area, in a cruciform pattern. Each circle has an interior and exterior border of knot work, possibly serpents. The reverse is undecorated and has no trace of lug, hinge or catchplate. There is in the central position what appears to be the remains of a rivet. It is possible the fragment is not from a brooch but a mount, possibly from a hanging bowl. This object was recorded from photographs kindly provided by the finder. All measurements are therefore approximate.

DENO-FDCAB6: PENCIL
An incomplete lead pencil in a bone or antler case, of medieval to post-medieval date, c.AD 1200 - 1800 Note this record is created from photographs (kindly provided by finder) only during the Covid-19 pandemic. Measurements are therefore approximate. The case is split longitudinally with approximately one half missing. This split may be accidental or could be part of the design, the missing half being the lid. There are also old breaks at each end, with a sub-rectangular portion missing . Externally it is has a flat facet which may have been mirrored in the missing half, creating a rectangular cross section, this is not possible to verify from existing photographs. The lead pencil appears to have a hexagonal cross section and one end is shaped to a blunt point, which protrudes slightly from the broken case, the other end is flat with no flaring. The pencil fits very snugly in the case width ways, longitudinally it is shorter than the case, with a gap of approximately 20 mm. Overall length 60 mm, width 15 cm. Pencil length 40 mm, width 10 mm Numerous similar lead / lead alloy cylinders are recorded on this database, usually under the term stylus, but few examples have the case present.

DENO-A51335: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy knee brooch of Roman date, c. AD 150-250, corresponding to Mackreth's Continental knee brooch type 2a. The head has semi-cylindrical capped wings which are open at the back and hollow, forming a housing for the spring mechanism, which is no longer present. The wing caps are pierced where these would have held the axis bar. The bow protrudes outwards from the head and curves dramatically, creating a tight arch down its length which then recurves, resulting in a brooch with S-shaped profile. The upper curve is rectangular in section and the recurve appears sub-triangular in section. The bow tapers from the head to the lower bow but then flares dramatically to the wide, rectangular foot which is flat. The catch plate extends horizontally back from the base of the foot and is now broken, its hook or fold now missing. The metal's surface has a dark green patina. A similar example is illustrated in Mackreth (2011), plate 131, no. 7592. Length: 24.5 mm, width: 16.1 mm, thickness: 2.6 mm. and weight: 6.4 g.

The openwork design comprises a series of five sub circles arranged evenly spaced in two rows: two slightly larger circles at the top, and three below. Across the length of the half-circle's diameter is a shallow raised moulding. Below this is a series of four narrow sub-triangular projections, separated by trefoil arched openings. These projections are short, truncated by old, irregular breaks. The metal's surface is lightly corroded with a mid-green patina. Diameter: 13.1 mm, thickness: 1.9 mm and weight; 1.5 g.

DENO-A2FA7E: MOUNT
A cast copper alloy possible mount or fitting, probably of late medieval to post medieval date, c. 1500-1700. The object is sub-crescent-shaped in plan with rounded terminals. In the centre of the concave edge, there is a slight projection capped by two two smaller circular elements which appear to depict eyes. In the centre, extending dorwards to project slightly beyond the the convex edge is a sub-oval shaped cell which is now highly corroded but may have once housed enamel or a stone. To either side are scalloped mouldings depicting bilateral symmetry which appear as wings. These elements combine to an object which seemingly depicts a fly or other insect. The object is rectangular in section and has a lightly curved profile. Towards the tip of each wing is a now corroded attachment rivet. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The metal's surface is lightly corroded with a mid-green patina. Length: 36.88 mm, width: 17 mm, thickness: 2.2 mm and weight: 3.5 g.

DENO-D6CC8A: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman plate brooch, umbonate and lozenge variant, dating to c. AD 75-300. The brooch comprises a diagonally-oriented sub-lozenge shaped plate with a prominent central hollow dome protruding outwards in centre. This domes is surrounded by a deep circumferential groove. The umbonate centre is decorated with three concentric circular raised mouldings arranged equally spaced around a small raised globule at centre. There are possible traces of enamel present within the dots which is now discoloured with wear. Faint traces of gilding are also present on the the outer metal surface. The plate is broken with an old, worn horizontal break below the umbonate centre. The three remaining corners of the lozengiform plate probably had integrally cast spherical knobs, which are now missing. On the reverse of the brooch, the upper angle retains the remains of a possible pin hinge, the pin and catchplate are missing. The metal has an irregular dark green and brown patina. Length: 22.6 mm, width: 24.2 mm, thickness: 5.9 mm. and weight: 5 g. Hattatt (p. 351, fig. 1575) illustrates a very similar brooch, decorated with four dots rather than three and illustrated with a chain loop attached to the hinge, which is not present on this example.

From the upper edge's outer corners, the strap end curves gently outwards before tapering down to the sub-conical zoomorphic terminal end. The zoomorphic terminal is worn and indistinct, but probably represented a hare with long ears laying flat and extending up along the body of the strap end. The front face of the strap end has a beaded border within which is a trapizoidal field decorated with incised geometeric designs, possibly representing the furred body of the hare. Just below the break is an incised sub-circular shape, possibly representing the tail of the hare. The reverse face is flat and undecorated. The metal's surface has a mottled dark green-brown patina. Length: 52.3 mm, width: 8.8 mm (tapering to 2.3 mm), thickness: 1.9 mm and weight: 5 g.

DENO-B0CBB5: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy trumpet derivative brooch, dating to c. AD 80-175. The brooch is a hinged trumpet variant, very similar to Mackreth TR 4.2, no. 5594. It is formed of two fragments, broken at the central disc: one fragment comprises the crest of the bow and the head, while the other consists of the 'fantail' foot. The head has short (6 mm) tubular wings which act as an integral double lug hinge mechanism through which an axis bar remains. Only the stub of the pin survives. The head narrows into the bow, which terminates in a break at a central disc. This central disc may have originally held enamelling, or possibly a rivet (Mackreth, 2011(1): 127). Both the head and the triangular 'fantail' foot are decorated with celtic-style relief ornament. The decoration on the foot comprises three sub-circular cells, arranged in a trefoil enclosed by a scrolling raised line. The remains of a catchplate and rib are visible on the reverse of the foot, although they are incomplete.

DENO-B013BE: CHISEL
A copper alloy chisel tool of uncertain date, possibly post-medieval (c. AD 1500-1900). In section the shaft is an irregular chamfered rectangle, there are shallow grooves running along the flat surfaces and the butt end is flattened and burred from striking. The shaft flares out to the cutting edge which is triangular in profile, with a straight edge dented in the middle, possibly from contact with an iron nail. Given the relatively soft metal, it is possible this tool was for splitting wood rather than carving.

DENO-AF430D: CHAFING DISH
A cast copper alloy right-angled drop-handle from a chafing dish of probable late medieval date (c. AD 1350-1600). The main shaft has an octagonal section. There is a central knop formed of a bifacially-bevelled segment between two raised collars. On one corner of the handle is a sub-conical knop, probably representing an acorn. This is missing from the other corner, there are marks suggestive of an old break. The handle has attachment lugs held in place by detachable terminals with a zoomorphic form, possibly a dog or rabbit head, the mouth of which is formed by a drilled hole which accomodates the shaft of the handle. The lugs are freely movable, and are circular in form, 18.8 mm diameter, with bevelled edges and a shoulder before a circular rivet. An incomplete and repaired example of a very similar handle is described by Egan (1998: 175, fig. 143) who suggests a date range of the 14th-16th centuries. Overall length154.2 mm, width 64.4, thickness 9.6 Weight 157.5

The wings are decorated with an incised vertical line 2 mm from the edge. At the apex of the bow, just under the head, emerges an integrally cast circular headstud terminating in an old break. On the crest of the bow is an oval boss with an incised central recession. The bow is decorated with a row of lozenge shaped cells running the full length, with triangular cells at each side The edges of the bow are decorated with triangular notches creating a serrated effect. The bow has a shallow D cross section, and is 8 mm wide tapering to 4.6 mm. The discoidal foot projects forward. There are the remains of a catchplate on the reverse. Plouviez period O.

DENO-ACA65A: HARNESS PENDANT
A medieval (c. AD 1200-1400) copper alloy, enamelled, lozenge-shaped horse harness pendant, depicting a Wyvern or Dragon with outstretched bat-wings and gaping mouth. There are traces of gilding on the frame and the body of the creature. There is a 3 mm wide border which forms a recessed field to house red enamel, areas of which survive. The suspension loop is at 90 degrees to the frame and extends for 8.7 mm. The suspension perforation is neat and circular, 3.7 mm diameter and appears drilled. The upper part of the frame, towards the suspension loop, is bent backward through approximately 45 degrees. The reverse is corroded and undecorated, with patches of green patina. Griffiths, (1995, The Medieval Horse and its Equipment) suggests that enamelled horse pendants date to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.

DENO-30B423: HARNESS MOUNT
A post medieval copper alloy umbonate bridle boss c AD 1500- 1700. The mount is hexagonal with a hollow backed central boss. Each edge of the hexagon shape has a central oval knop (possible acorn) flanked by quatrefoils. There are two circular attachment rivets in situ with iron corrosion product. The shank of the rivet is 3.2 mm diameter, the head is 8.7 mm diameter. The central boss is surrounded by a ring of pellets and has a large central knop 9.1 mm diameter. The mount was found with a corroded iron bit link and bit bar. The stubs of the attachment rivet appear to match up, suggesting that the boss would have been one of a pair sitting either side of the mouth. The mount is 69 mm across overall, with the central boss being 34.6 mm diameter, Thickness is 2.6 mm. Weight 51.3 The bit link and bit bar are fused by corrosion into one object.

DENO-5F5725: SEAL
A pair of modern lead-alloy bi-circular seals, found together. The design depicts two squirrels facing each other, each holding the top of a shield, dating to c.1900-1950. There is a banner above and between them, a hand above the shield in benediction; the squirrels stand on a base. The scene refers to the arms of Kilmarnock. It is identical on both sides and the two circles have been folded onto each other to create the seal. This is a seal used by Johnnie Walker on whisky bottles or cases. Similar examples can be found on this database: CAM-5C6C12, SWYOR-ABD311. Diameter 13.7 mm, thickness 2.4 mm, weight 6.7 g (2).

DENO-5CCD1C: COIN
A worn silver republican denarius. The obverse shows a galley with banners; this is probably a denarius of Mark Anthony, dating to c.32-31 BC, and thus is legionary coinage made by a travelling mint. The reverse is too worn to be seen, but would normally depict legionary standards, with a legionary eagle between them.

DENO-CD9F3A: TOKEN
A lead alloy object, possibly two mis-cast agricultural tokens of medieval to post-medieval date (c. AD 1400-1800). The object comprises two uniface discs conjoined by an area of sprue. Fletcher (2005, chapter 11) suggests that tokens could be cast on a small scale using moulds of unfired clay, chalk or pottery. It is possible this object represents a trial casting or an accidental discard. The design on the faces of the tokens is not clear, but resembles Powell Type 9: irregular geometric lines. Overall length is 31mm, diameter of each disc is 14mm, thickness 3.4mm, weight 12.3g.

DENO-CC8FF8: PIPE TAMPER
A complete copper alloy pipe tamper dating to the post-medieval to modern period (c. AD 1750-1900).

Height 59.7mm, diameter of base 20.8mm, weight 47.9g.

DENO-CC37C8: WEIGHT
A cast lead weight, probably post-medieval to modern in date. The weight is broadly cylindrical, having a rectangular base but becoming sub-circular at the top. There is a lateral piercing 4mm in diameter, through which is threaded a loop of twisted iron wire. The wire is much thinner than the piercing (0.1 mm) which may suggest it is a replacement. The object has a white-grey patina. Width 21mm, height 34.3mm, weight 100.2g.

DENO-CBEBFA: STEELYARD WEIGHT
A lead and iron steelyard weight of probable Roman date (c. AD 43-410). The weight has been cast and is conical in shape, with the stub of an embedded iron loop evident at its apex. The base is slightly dimpled. The object has a dusty white patina apart from some dents and scratches, which are probably post-depositional. The weight (79.9g) is close to a quarter of a libra. Diameter at base 24mm. Height 28.6mm.

A copper-alloy Roman radiate dating to the period AD 260 to 296, Reece period 13 -14. Probably Tetricus I (271 -274). Reverse type Pax standing with branch and sceptre. The coin is damaged, a portion is missing from the edge.

DENO-0D1A46: BROOCH
A copper alloy brooch of Roman date, c.AD 50 - 200. The brooch is circular in plan with a raised outer border and central ring. The area between the border and the central ring is decorated with a ring of pellets, probably six in number - due to corrosion it is not clear. The outer field and the recession formed by the ring were probably filled with enamel, cf. YORYM-0D2B15 . The reverse is flat and undecorated, with the remains of a spring housing and catchplate. Spring and pin are missing. Similar brooches are illustrated in Hattatt (2007, p. 344, fig. 203) The brooch has some damage, 10 mm of the outer border is missing.

A blue glass bead of uncertain date: Iron Age to Modern, 400 BC - AD 1900. The bead is circular in plan and slightly asymmetrical, being thicker on one side, 4.9mm - 5.7mm. The central perforation is neatly formed 3.5 mm diameter and is very slightly off-centre. The surface is smooth with occasional pitting. Glass beads are problematic to date; this bead was found in proximity to a Roman coin of 4th century date, DENO-0B6E4E and does resemble other beads on this database tentatively ascribed Roman dates, cf. LEIC-B4FA3B, DEV-10FFBF Diameter: 7.9mm, weight: 0.4g.

DENO-A45A6C: COIN
A silver half-groat coin of Charles I (1625-49) mintmark: letter R in brackets, from the Tower mint under Parliament dating to c.1644-5. North 2258 The coin has a crease, possibly an attempted or straightened fold, running from the one o'clock to seven o'clock positions, passing the crown and running through the king's shoulder. The coin has been clipped

DENO-A3C16B: COIN
A post-medieval silver half groat of Charles I (AD 1625-1649) dating to AD 1638-42. Aberystwyth mint (North, 1994(2): p. 172, no. 2343). The coin is clipped and pierced. Diameter 13.4mm, weight 0.4g.

DENO-A240C8: TOKEN
An incomplete cast lead alloy uniface object, possibly a token or badge of probable post-medieval date, c. AD 1600-1800. The object appears to have originally been flat but is now bent with a c. 90 degree angle fold at the centre. It has one curved edge but the other edges appear clipped or broken, making the original shape difficult to determine, but it was likely sub-oval in plan. The face is decorated with c. 10 mm tall block capital letters which are abraded and distorted by the fold. These possibly read 'E D[...]' above 'M[...]M'. The metal's surface has a cream-coloured patina. There is no obvious attachment or suspension lug, but it is probable that a portion of the object is missing which held such a mechanism. Length: 36 mm, width: 25 mm, thickness: 3.7 mm and weight: 31.5 g.

DENO-1181AB: COIN
Roman coin: worn copper alloy sestertius, probably of Faustina II (AD 147-175), standing figure (possibly Fecunditas) holding a staff or vertical sceptre on reverse, mint uncertain. The coin has two large chips at the edge.

DENO-0F86DA: SPINDLE WHORL
A cast lead alloy spindle whorl, the weight and large aperture (9.2 mm) of the central perforation suggest an early medieval date, c AD 900 - 1100. Both surfaces are flat and one appears undecorated, although the object is abraded and dented; the other surface has incised lines at the edge of the central perforation, it is not clear if these are wear, damage or intentional decoration. This surface may also have had pellet and line moulded decoration, but this is much distorted by abrasion and denting. Diameter 29.3 mm, thickness10.7 mm. Weight 53 g

DENO-0EAF9A: BLADE
A fragment of a copper alloy bladed object, probably a rapier or dirk, but possibly a spearhead, of middle Bronze Age date, c 1500 - 1200 BC. The blade fragment tapers in width from 26 mm to 20 mm, both ends terminating in old breaks, the blade has a lenticular cross section, with a longitudinal central ridge, slightly flattened. There is a slight curvature to fragment which may be suggestive of deliberate damage. Overall length 50 mm, thickness 3.7 mm at centre, tapering to 0.9 mm at the edge. Weight 16.8g

DENO-7EE5D4: MOUNT
A copper alloy openwork mount, probably of post-medieval date, c 17th century. A rim of foliate lobes, rotating counter-clockwise surrounds three curved spokes forming a triskele around a square central rivet hole. One lobe of the outer rim is broken, an apparently old break. The object retains traces of white metal, possibly tin, coating. No precise parallel has been found on this database, but openwork mounts with foliate, rotating motifs are generally dated to 16th -17th centuries. Overall diameter 34 mm, thickness2.9 mm, weight 4.6 g.

DENO-7DC9DD: SPOON
An incomplete lead-alloy (pewter) spoon, dating from the reign of Queen Anne (AD 1702-1714). The surviving part of the spoon, a lozengiform handle, is decorated with a royal portrait bust of Queen Anne encompassed by laurel branches, possibly with a crown at the apex; this area is abraded. The letters A and R are placed behind the bust. Below the bust and laurels a curving foliate spray runs down the stem, which terminates in an apparently old break. The reverse is flat and undecorated. Other examples of Queen Anne portraits on spoons are recorded on this database: LON-6268F3, PUBLIC-B99591, SUR-883CF3 Overall length 55 mm, width 23 mm thickness 2.2 mm weight 10.4 g.

DENO-7C44E1: TOKEN
A copper alloy post-medieval - modern half penny trade token, AD 1791. Obverse is heavily corroded and illegible. Reverse shows three-masted sailing ship above laurel sprigs, with the inscription 'Liverpool Half Penny'. Diameter 27.7 mm, thickness 1.7 mm, weight 6.3 g.

DENO-7B692A: WEIGHT
A copper alloy disc, possibly a post-medieval to modern trade weight. (c AD 1600 - 1900) The object is worn and corroded with no device or legend visible. There is a circumferential rim, more pronounced on one face than the other. On this face there is a raised ridge 9 mm long, 3 mm wide, 5 mm from the edge of the flan. Above this is a series of marks which could be interpreted as letters, but which are very faint and this interpretation is not certain. The overall form of the object resembles a Cartwheel penny of George III. However the diameter, at 33.5 mm, is somewhat smaller and the disc is thicker (4.7 mm) and heavier. The weight of the object, 29.6 g, does not exactly fit any commonly used standard of weights, CF the unica (27.3 g) used by apothecaries, and the English-troy ounce of 31 g. The object could also be interpreted as a token or gaming piece.

DENO-EAD1DB: TOKEN
An incomplete post medieval copper alloy trade token halfpenny issued by Gregory Sylvester and William Leaver in Winthorpe, dated 1664. Ref. Williamson 1891: 917 The token is worn and corroded and has a jagged break with approximately 40% of the disk missing.

DENO-EA3A15: BUCKLE

The double loop trapezoidal frame has moulded pin rests decorated with engraved oblique lines, and moulded decoration around the edge of each loop. The folded sheet of the chape has a makers mark; a W within a heart-shaped crowned cartouche. The chape terminates in a break, the stud is missing. Spindle and pointed pin are present. Whithead illustrates similar buckles (p 99, esp No. 616) and dates them to c AD 1660 - 1720. Length 36 mm, width 21 mm, thickness 2.5 mm, weight 7.8 g

DENO-E8EFA8: KEY (LOCKING)
A copper alloy object, possibly a fragment of a medieval key. The fragment is an openwork lozenge with a tri-lobed knop at one apex and at the other a moulded collar and a stub of a rectangular sectioned stem, 10.2 mm wide and 3.6 mm thick, extending for 4.3 mm before terminating in a clean break. The object resembles the bow of a Ward-Perkins type VI London key, dated 14th -15th Century (London Medieval Catalogue, 1965 p 140), apart from the stem which is rectangular in section whereas the keys illustrated in Ward-Perkins and in examples on this database tend to have round sectioned stems. Overall length 36.7 mm, width 33.7 mm, thickness 5.1 mm weight 17.8 g

DENO-E840CD: BUCKLE
A fragment of a copper alloy buckle of post medieval date, c. AD 1550 - 1650. The fragment consists of approximately half of a D-shaped loop with a moulded acorn shaped knop. One almost complete arm of the loop survives, and one short stump, both emerging from the knop and both terminating in apparently old breaks. The loop and knop are concave on the reverse. The loop has a D-shaped cross section. It is probable the fragments comes from a double-looped buckle similar to that described in record WMID-3379E1 on this database. Similar examples can be seen in Whitehead (2003: 65-6) nos 401 or 406. Overall length 44.4 mm, width 6.7 mm, width at knop 16.2 mm, thickness 2.7 mm, weight 6.7 g.

A post-medieval silver Scottish twenty pence of Charles I (1625-1649), dating to AD 1637-1642. Third coinage. Spink (2003: 84), no. 5591. The coin has a crease near one edge which may represent a deliberate attempt to create a fold.

DENO-6AD1D3: COIN
A post-medieval silver sixpence of William III (1694-1702). The coin is broken diametrically, with approximately 50% of the disc remaining. The edge of the break is relatively unabraded, possibly post-depositional and recent. Both surfaces of the coin are worn with a polished appearance. It is possible the coin has been adapted as a love token and the break represents the attempted fold line. Examples of William III sixpences adapted as love tokens on the database include: PUBLIC-42F8E9, LANCUM-AC6EFC, and PUBLIC-FE4161.

DENO-695AB9: COIN
A silver post-medieval shilling of Elizabeth I (1558-1603). Third coinage, with a possible 'key' initial mark. London (Tower) mint, AD 1595-8 (North, no. 2014, p.136). Diameter: 29.5 mm, thickness: 0.7 mm, weight: 5.3 g.

DENO-C2E1A7: COIN
A Scottish Medieval silver penny of John Baliol (1292-1296) First 'rough' issue, probably type B or C (Spink S5065), uncertain die types. Possibly Berwick mint (24 point mullets on reverse). The coin has a break running across the flan, and as a result approximately 25% of the circumference missing (Spink, 2015, pg.21).

DENO-C1FE90: BELL
A complete, single cast, copper alloy crotal bell of post-medieval date (c.AD 1650-1700). The object comprises two hemispheres divided by a raised circumferential rib. There are two holes on either side of the integrally cast rectangular suspension loop, one probably enlarged by damage.These are sometimes described as 'sound holes' but are probably left from the process of casting. The suspension hole is off-centre and appears cast rather than drilled. The lower hemisphere has two 'sound holes' connected by a slit. The pea is in situ. The upper hemisphere appears undecorated, and has an irregular gap between the two 'sound holes', probably due to corrosion around a casting flaw. The suspension lug is 12 mm high, 9 mm wide and 3.9 mm thick. Total diameter: 29.2 mm, overall height: 34.6 mm. Weight: 29.1 g.

DENO-C188E2: DRESS HOOK

DENO-C01596: SOCKETED AXEHEAD
An incomplete cast copper alloy socketed axehead of late Bronze Age to early Iron Age date. (c 1100 - 600 BC) The blade, cutting edge and part of the body survive. The blade is a shallow crescent slightly flared from the body, the socket is rectangular, and the body walls are thin cast (1.8 mm). The side view shows a wedge-shaped profile with a casting seam. There is a blunt projecting spur on one side 55 mm from the blade; this could be an abraded stump of a loop or casting flash. The obverse shows the beginning of three ribs, without pellets, at 47 mm from the blade. The body terminates in jagged breaks 62 mm to 69 mm from the blade. The axehead bears some resemblance to transitional and early Iron Age axes illustrated in Fig 4, Object Datasheet 2 of the LPFG, but due to the break, the collar, loop and final form of the socket cannot be identified. Overall length is 69 mm, width at cutting edge 36 mm, 28 mm at break. Weight: 73.3 g

DENO-434610: VESSEL
A body sherd from a Roman coarse ware vessel, probably second to third century AD. Interior fabric is dark grey, hard and with gritty inclusions. Outer surface is buff coloured with traces of a pinkish slip, much abraded.

DENO-B03FFD: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An incomplete copper alloy object of uncertain date and function. It has a sub-rectangular sectioned stem which terminates at both ends in a double-pronged projection which bears some resemblance to a nail-clearer, but which was more likely to be created by a break running across a hole such as a suspension loop. One terminal end is flattened and spatulate, and turned through ninety degrees to the stem. The stem bends through an arch, which seems to be a deliberate feature rather than due to damage. Overall length 40.8 mm, width 4 mm, thickness 3 mm. Weight 3.2 g

DENO-AFBE72: BROOCH
An incomplete (approximately 50%) copper alloy brooch of Roman date ( 2nd - 3rd century) The brooch is flat and oval, it has a raised border 2.1 mm wide, and an inner raised oval band, these would have defined two fields which would have probably contained enamel, no trace of which now remains (but cf similar objects such as BUC-5AC20E and KENT-29E795, where remains of enamel can be seen. The back surface is flat and has a sub-rectangular catchplate set near the outer edge, 5.5 mm wide1.8 mm thick. The brooch has an irregular break running from edge to edge, apparently old. Width 26 mm, existing length 18.8 mm, thickness 1.6, weight 3.2 g

DENO-AF415B: FINGER RING
A complete copper alloy finger ring of Roman date (c AD 100 - 350) . The ring is of Henig Type VIII, with a circular (7 mm diameter) bezel flanked by large, (8.4 mm wide) rounded triangle-shaped shoulders, one of which has a split running vertically through it. The D-sectioned hoop is 1.7 mm thick. The bezel is inscribed with the letters ToT, the o being a small dot. The letters 'ToT' are an abbreviation of the Celtic god Totatis. The ring had a white-metal coating, large patches of which remain on all surfaces. Diameter 16.3 mm. Thickness (at bezel) 1.9 mm. Weight 2.3 g

DENO-AD4645: COIN
A silver medieval farthing of Edward II (1307 - 1327). Type 30/Class 10-11 (North 1070/1), minted in London, 1310 - 1314.

DENO-AC2513: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A ceramic fragment, possibly a medieval tile (c AD 1200 - 1500), with an elliptical lead inlay. The inlay is 20.3 mm long, 14.3 mm wide and c. 6 mm thick. The exposed surface of the lead is flat and undecorated. There is a rim of darker material around part of the edge of the lead. This rim is irregular, varying from 0.8 mm to 2.7 mm wide. The fabric of the ceramic is orange-red with sparse, small pale inclusions and a few large voids. The purpose of this object is unknown, it is possible it was used as a mould. Compare record LIN-EDA455 on this database: a similar ceramic fragment, identified as tile, with an elliptical lead inlay, in this case decorated. Overall length 29.2 mm, width 26.9 mm. Thickness 13.4 mm, weight 17.7 g

DENO-1D684B: NAIL
A wrought Iron nail of uncertain but probably post medieval date (c 1500 -1850 AD It has a square shank, tapering to a blunt point, and a flat, sub-triangular head, heavily corroded and bent at an angle to the shank. The nail is bent into a shallow S-shape. Shank is 10.5 mm thick, tapering to 3 mm. Head is 23.7 mm wide. Overall length 80 mm. Weight is 33.8 g

DENO-1D3934: CHAIN
Three pieces of Iron chain of uncertain date. One is sub rectangular and may be riveted at one end, but the object is heavily corroded and the end of the loop which may be riveted is full of corrosion product and debris. This may have formed part of a figure - eight link or may have had some form of fixing or attachment point. It is 9.3 thick and has an overall length of 97 mm. Another link is oval with a sub-circular section with flattened surfaces suggesting hand forging. It is broken in one place and has muliple patches of corrosion. it is 10.9 mm thick with an overall length of 64 mm. The third piece appears to be some kind of attachment or swivel. It is comprised of a circular piece with a rectangular section. through this - possibly through a drilled or integrally cast hole, it is not certain due to corrosion, runs a long spike which is curled back on itself to form a loop. It is not clear if this curling back is deliberate to create a loop to which other links may be attached, or if the spike was originally to affix the circular component to some surface. It is probable that the circular link was originally free to swivel, but now is heavily corroded. Diameter 84 mm, thickness 13.7 .The spike is 9.3 mm thick and was probably c 120 mm long. These objects are described in one record as they were found in the same field. Overall weight 345 g

DENO-1CBB11: MOUNT
An incomplete copper alloy suspension mount of medieval date (c AD 1400 - 1600). It is formed from a rectangular plate; at both of the narrower ends the plate has been cut to form three equal strips. The middle strip has been bent back to form an attachment hook, the upper and lower strips are curled back the opposite way to form a hinge-like tube, possibly to accommodate a pin from which a pendant or bell could be suspended. No exact parallel to this object has been found on this database, but examples of strips being folded back to form attachments and hinges can be found in LEIC-00497A and SF-BBC651 Overall length 34.5 mm, width13.8 mm, thickness 1.7 mm. Weight 9.1 g

DENO-1BBC07: FINGER RING
A copper alloy finger ring, probably of post-medieval date. (c AD 1600 - 1850) The hoop is broken; it may have been soldered, it is now open and bent. It has a sub rectangular section. It widens to form the shoulders, which may have decoration in the form of incised lines but the ring is much corroded and it is hard to be certain. The shoulders join a shield shaped bezel. This is also heavily corroded and abraded, no decoration can be seen. The bezel measures c 12 mm wide, 13.2 mm high. The hoop is 1.4 mm thick; It is possible this ring was cut from sheet metal rather than cast. As the hoop is broken and distorted, diameter is estimated; 22 mm. Weight is 3.3 g

DENO-1B2BD4: TOILET ARTICLE
An incomplete copper alloy object, probably a toilet article, of uncertain, possibly post-medieval date ( c AD 1500 - 1800). It has a circular sectioned shank, 3.9 mm diameter, pitted and corroded. At one end of the shank is a scoop or narrow bowl, c 10 mm in length, 4.8 mm wide. The opposite end of the shank is flattened and spatulate, terminating in a break; it somewhat resembles a nail cleaner but it is more probable that the break runs across the hole of a suspension loop. This flattened end is rotated 90 degrees to the bowl / scoop, and is 9 mm long and 5.2 mm wide. A similar object is described in record IOW-833439 on this database. Overall length is 88.9 mm, weight is 7.2 g

DENO-198EAB: TOILET ARTICLE
A copper alloy fragment, probably from a Roman toilet article or surgical instrument (c AD 43 -410) The fragment is part of a bowl, long and slender with a sharp V-shaped section. It is truncated by an apparently old break. The bowl has a blunt terminal, possibly the point of attachment to a shaft or handle. It is also possible this represents the terminus of the bowl and the attachment joint was on the other end, now missing. It is possible this bowl is from a spoon-probe from a Roman surgical kit, cf probes illustrated in Crummy (1983, 60-61). Overall length 39.7 mm, width 8.2 mm, thickness 2.9 mm. Weight 4.8 g

DENO-1914EC: SPOON
A fragment of a copper alloy spoon of Roman date (AD 43 -410). The fragment consists of part of the handle, which is formed from a rectangular-sectioned bar of copper alloy 19.7 mm in length 2.1 mm thick, with traces of silvering and several incised vertical grooves, and an elaborated 'elbow' at the juncture of the handle and offset bowl. The bowl is broken 6 mm from the junction with the handle. From the surviving part it appears to be shovel-like, broad and shallow and retaining some silvering. A close parallel on this database seems to be record WILT-15F91D Overall length is 29.8 mm, width 17 mm. Thickness at bowl 0.7 mm. Weight 1.8 g

DENO-88F31D: COIN
An incomplete silver medieval halfpenny of Henry VI (first reign; 1422 - 1461). Annulet Issue, A.3/a (North 1435), minted in Calais, 1422 - 1427.

DENO-883B2D: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy anthropomorphic mount of medieval date (c 14th -15th century). The mount is abraded, and is in the form of a bearded, crowned head facing, in the style of contemporary coin portraits. The crown has three projections. The rear has a single, central, circular attachment rivet, 3 mm diameter, surrounded by corrosion product. A similar object is illustrated in Read (2001, fig 11, no. 137). Comparable records on this database include YORYM-BCEE66 and DENO-CF74B1. Length is 14.9 mm, width 9.8 mm, thickness 5 mm. Weight is 1.37 g

DENO-87840C: STIRRUP
An incomplete cast copper alloy stirrup strap mount of Anglo-Scandinavian date, c AD 1050 -1125. Corresponding to Williams (1997) Class A, Type 11. The mount is broadly triangular in plan, the upper part seems to terminate in an irregular edge, probably an abraded break, the suspension lug is missing. The lower edge, although abraded, appears to be unbroken, but there is no evidence of a flange projection nor fixing holes. The mount is corroded and worn, but decoration on the front can be seen in the form of a moulded lion right, similar to those illustrated in Williams (1997, p. 63, fig 41). Width at lower edge is 26.3 mm, tapering to 16.7 mm at the upper break. Length 27 mm, thickness 4.9 mm. Weight 14.08 g

DENO-85E8E1: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy bow brooch of Roman date (c AD 43 - 410). The spring mechanism, pin and part of the catchplate are missing. Overall length is 38.2 mm, width 35.7 mm, thickness 4.7 g. Weight is 14.61 g. The wings are semi-cylindrical with no obvious endcaps, each wing is decorated with six raised vertical bands. The bow has a moulded central rib with a groove either side. The rib runs down the bow to a moulded collar. Below this the foot widens to form a pelta-shaped plate terminating in a rounded knop, with a similar knop on the each tip of the crescent, creating an overall 'anchor' shape to the foot. The remains of a triangular catchplate rise from the rear of the foot. This is an unusual brooch; a generally similar shape is illustrated in Hattatt (2012, fig 184, 762) as part of a Kräftig profilierte type brooch, although the overall configuration of the brooch is different, with the 'anchor' element located at the head rather than the foot. On this database, a possible parallel is DENO-6E647A, although that object is a plate brooch. Record YORYM-EC0195 describes a foot fragment terminating in an anchor shape.

DENO-F578C9: FINGER RING
A finger ring formed from silver wire, probably of post-medieval or modern date. The ring has two hoops of square sectioned wire and the bezel is formed of two additional strands which have been formed into a knot 6mm across. At either side of the bezel a strand has been wrapped around the hoops. The ring, particularly the bezel, bears a similarity to early medieval finger rings such as that described in record KENT-C90BE3 on this database, or the item described as 'Viking' in "The Searcher" (June 2018, No. 394, p. 17). However, wire rings with two or more hoops tend to be modern (compare YORYM-71CDE2, SWYOR-0B8449, LANCUM-55C5F6 and DENO-470362). The wire has a square cross-section, which is suggestive of machine manufacture and also implies a modern date. Diameter 16.4mm, thickness 0.9mm, weight 1.33g.

DENO-F3E849: BUCKLE
A copper alloy buckle frame probably of post-medieval date (c AD 1600 - 1800). It has a double loop with a D shaped cross section. The central bar is raised to form a shallow arch across the frame and does not appear to have been fitted with a pin. The object may have functioned as a form of slider. The small size suggests it may have been used with a garter or possibly a spur strap. Buckles of similar form but larger size are illustrated in Whitehead (2003) page 53, He suggests a broad date range from late medieval to post medieval. Length 12.5 mm, width 10 mm, thickness 2 mm, weight 0.58 g

DENO-F25105: TOKEN
A cut copper alloy trade token of post-medieval (late 17th century) date. The token is corroded and the device in the field can not be discerned - possibly initials. There is a circumferential inscription on both faces but this can not be read. The token appears to have been scored prior to deliberate cutting across the diameter. Diameter 18.6 mm. Thickness 0.4 mm, weight 0.31 g

DENO-F22156: VESSEL
A rim sherd from a wheel thrown ceramic vessel, probably Roman black burnished ware. The rim,11 mm wide, is everted and well defined, the fabric is very dense, dark grey-black with dark and some paler inclusions. The surface is finely burnished with a silky texture. Black burnished ware has been attributed to the second - third century AD - http://potsherd.net/atlas/Ware/BB2 Overall length 44 mm, width 29 mm, thickness 5.5 mm. Weight 26.15 g

DENO-F19C17: VESSEL
A body sherd from a wheel-thrown greyware vessel probably of Roman date (1st -2nd century AD). Outer surface is smooth with very small inclusions, and has a mottled grey appearance , possibly the remains of a slip coating. There is a band of impressed irregular marks 6 mm wide. Inner surface is a darker grey and has linear ridges from wheel throwing. The fabric is dark grey with small pale inclusions. Overall length 35 mm, width 29 mm thickness 4.1 mm, weight 5.6 g

DENO-F0BB44: GAMING PIECE
A copper alloy game token of post-medieval date (1788 - 1850). It mimics the 'Spade' half-guinea of George III and is dated 1788. However, such tokens were produced in large numbers in the 19th Century as game pieces and as demonstration / advertising tokens by various manufacturers, especially in Birmingham. The obverse is very corroded, showing a laureate bust right. The reverse is also corroded and worn, showing the Shield of Arms of England, Scotland, Ireland and Hanover (the 'spade' shaped shield gave the original coins and these copies their name) over the date 1788. Only a few letters of the inscription are legible, but it was probably 'In Memory of the Good Old Days' Diameter 21.4 mm, thickness 0.6 mm. Weight 1.4 g

An incomplete copper alloy brooch of Roman date (c. AD 75 - 175). The brooch is a Colchester derivative, Polden Hill type, cf Hattatt (2000, p. 300, fig 159, no. 380). The catchplate, pin and spring mechanism are missing. Undecorated semi-cylindrical wings extend 5 mm each side of the head of the bow, terminating in caps slightly wider than the wings, 7.4 mm diameter. The sides of the bow are decorated with moulded pointed ovals, possibly representing leaves, arranged in a zigzag pattern. The front of the bow has a low, smooth ridge 3.9 mm wide at the head. The bow tapers to the foot that has a cylindrical terminal, 5.7 mm diameter, decorated with a series of circumferential grooves. There is some corrosion damage to the bow. The reverse surface of the bow has vestiges of a rib which probably expanded to form the catchplate. Overall length 60.8 mm, width including wings 23 mm.Thickness (bow) 4.6 mm, weight 14 g. The object has been treated with oil by the finder.

DENO-60CF25: WEIGHT
A cast copper alloy uniface disc, elaborately decorated with incised patterns. The decoration consists of: an outer circle of 22 dots, each c. 1 mm in diameter; within this, a 3.5 mm wide band filled with hatching of regular, angled incised lines; within that, a second circle of dots, 11 in total; a central 'ring and dot' featuring a cup-like depression 2.9 mm diameter, surrounded by an incised circle 5.2 mm diameter. Some early medieval weights (c. AD 800 - 1100) recorded on this database are decorated with concentric circles and ring and dot features, but no exact parallel for this elaborate design could be found (cf. NLM-A824D0, LIN-F9FD63). Alternatively, the object could be a gaming piece or counter of medieval to post medieval date (c. 1400 -1700). Diameter 28 mm, thickness 3.8 mm, weight 13.2 g.

DENO-5F02A5: WEIGHT
A cast lead alloy disc, probably a pan weight of medieval to post medieval date c 1400 - 1700 AD. The disc has a circumferential rim 1.3 mm wide. One face is decorated with a cruciform pattern formed by two rows of regular indentations that were possibly made by some type of roller or pricking wheel. In each of the quarters formed by the cross pattern are three inscribed lines which resemble letters in blackletter script. The reverse face is abraded but appears to have decoration in radiating lines similar to those forming the arms of the cross on the other face. The object is tentatively identified as a weight: it broadly resembles pan weights illustrated in Egan (2005, p 163) dated to the early 17th century. The weight of the object 23.3 g, does not fit exactly into trade weight systems (it equates to 13 drams or 16 pennyweights). It is possible that the object is a gaming piece of medieval or post medieval date, it resembles some records on this database, such as CORN-28F98D. Diameter 34.7 mm, thickness 2.6 mm. Weight 23.3 g

DENO-CC1C15: VESSEL
A fragment of a cast copper alloy vessel leg of late medieval to post medieval date (c 1450 - 1650 AD) The leg is rectangular is section with a turned out foot, without ribs or decoration. Probably from an early form posnet, cf. fig 1, Butler, Green and Payne (2009). The edge of the foot is chipped, giving the appearance of two toes, but it is likely this does not represent any original feature, and the foot had a simple straight edge. The fragment terminates in an old, abraded break. All surfaces have a green patina, dark in patches. A similar object is described in record DENO-9307A9 on this database Width 30.8 mm, length 34 mm, thickness 12.4 mm, weight 85.6

DENO-A78D5D: MOUNT
An incomplete cast copper alloy cruciform mount of medieval date (c AD 1400 -1500) There is a centrally placed dome headed rivet 5 mm diameter. Two arms are missing, the two surviving arms each extend 9 mm from the centre and house a similar but smaller domed rivet, 3.5 mm diameter. The edges of the arms form curves. The back face is flat, the burred and corroded ends of the rivets can be seen. Length 14.2 mm, width 16.2 mm. Thickness 0.7 mm, 3.7 mm at rivet. Weight 0.98 g

DENO-A703A1: HARNESS MOUNT
A copper alloy suspension mount of medieval date (c AD 1300 - 1500). The central plate is broadly lozengiform with a moulded design of four circles around a lozenge; the circles each appear to contain a quatrefoil inside a border of pellets, but are corroded and abraded. To either side the plate extends to form arms, 12.5 mm long with rounded knop terminals, and housing countersunk rivet holes 4.1 mm diameter. The edges of the arms are chamfered where they join the plate and retain traces of gilding, small patches of which can also be seen in the circles on the plate. One angle of the lozenge of the plate extends to form two suspension lugs, Viewed from the side,these are rounded and extend 5 mm from the plate. They house the remains of rivets or a bar, 1 mm diameter. It is probable that some form of pendant hung from this position. The reverse surface is flat and undecorated. Overall length 48 mm, width 25.5 mm, thickness 2 mm, weight 7 g

DENO-A4F515: STAMP
An incomplete lead alloy stamp, probably of post medieval date. The object has a conical head 10.3 mm diameter,tapering to join a circular sectioned shank 6.1 mm diameter, which terminates in an uneven and apparently old break after 4.5 mm. The shank is hollow at the break, so may have formed a socket for attachment to a handle of some kind. The object has a white patina on all surfaces. The face of the object is concave and has a moulded design of a cross within a circle of pellets. The object may have been used as a stamp for maker's marks or decoration on clay objects such as pipes or to decorate pottery. Overall length is 12 mm. Weight is 4.8 g

DENO-A47A89: TACK
A copper alloy tack or hob nail probably dating to the Roman period. The head is hemi-spherical, with a conical underside from which emerges a circular sectioned shank 3.6 mm diameter, which tapers to a point. The shank has a S-shaped bend but the point is intact. Diameter of head 8.9 mm, Overall length 27.8 mm.Weight 3.9 g

DENO-A3E3CB: BROOCH
A worn copper alloy fragment, probably from a plate-brooch of Roman date (AD 100 - 250). The fragment is kite-shaped, but at least two sides are formed from old breaks and probably do not relate to the original form of the brooch. The surface is flat and corroded, there are four irregular patches of red material, which could be enamel. The reverse surface has a raised stump ,12 mm long, 3.5 mm wide, rising from a corner. It is probable this is the remains of a catch plate. It is possible the fragment comes from a lozenge shaped plate-brooch such as those illustrated in Hattatt (2000), fig 208 and dated to the 2nd Century AD. Length 24 mm, width 16 mm, thickness 4 mm. Weight 4.6 g.

A copper alloy Roman nummus of the House of Constantine (AD 307 - 337), dating to the period AD 331 -333 (Reece Period 17). Wolf and twins [VRBS ROMA] reverse type. Mint of Trier. RIC VII, p. 217, no. 542.

DENO-1131EE: STRAP FITTING
A cast copper alloy strap mount probably of post-medieval date, c. AD 1500 - 1700. It has an open work design of floriate lobes, much corroded and bent. surmounting this design is a 13.5 mm diameter fleuret; a disc surrounded by pellets. The rear face is undecorated, with a pointed shank, 2.1 mm diameter, emerging from the centre of the fleuret disc. This shank is bent through 90 degrees, and is 9 mm in length. There is the stub of a similar shank near the bottom edge of the mount. The two shanks are in line and 17.5 mm apart. Overall length is 30.7 mm Width 28.5 mm, thickness 1.5 mm, weight 6.2 g

DENO-1068DB: FURNITURE FITTING
A cast copper alloy terminal knob, probably a furniture fitting, possibly of Roman date. It has a plano-convex disc 20 mm diameter, with a conical knob or dimple 12.5 mm diameter rising from the centre. From the centre of the flat face of the disc emerges a circular sectioned, spindle-shaped shaft 6.1 mm diameter which extends for 8.5 mm before joining a domed foot, 14.3 mm diameter. There is a moulded groove at the joint of the shaft and the foot. The flat base of the foot has corrosion product. In profile the object has a mushroom shape. The overall form of the object is similar to fittings dated to the Roman period (c AD 43 - 410 ) but it is also possible it is post-medieval, as fittings fro the 18th and 19th century sometimes copied Roman forms. Overall height 21.9 mm, diameter 20 mm, weight 15.7 g

An incomplete cast copper alloy hooked strap fitting, possibly of post medieval (16th century) date. The object has a triangular head plate. The edges are uneven, most likely from wear and damage rather than decorative effect. The wide edge, ie, opposite the hook, has a notched break. The point of the hook is missing. There are two holes, 1.2 mm diameter, presumably for rivets or other means of attachment, arranged along the long axis of the plate, 17.5 mm from the hook. The plate has a slight dihedral, bending from the long axis. The overall form of the object resembles Read's Class A, Type 1 , which is dated to the early medieval period. However, in examples of that class, eg SOM-8C5A3E on this database, the rivet holes are arranged horizontally near the wide edge of the plate.The vertical arrangement seen in this object seems to found in post medieval hooked fasteners such as those described in Read (2008),p 217 - 218. Length 28.2 mm, width 13.2 mm tapering to 3.5 mm. Thickness 1.4 mm. Weight 1.92 g

DENO-7F6953: BRIDLE FITTING
An incomplete lead alloy harness mount, probably a bridle boss, of post-medieval (c AD 1600-1700) date. The object has a central disc 35 mm diameter, surrounded by a 14 mm wide flange, with elaborate moulded decoration. Approximately 50% of the flange remains, and is decorated with a pattern comprising two eight petalled flowers, each 14 mm diameter, separated by three sets of three overlapping discs; these are in poor condition, but a quatrefoil design can be seen in some. From the surviving fragmentary decoration either side, it is probable this pattern repeated around the circumference. The central disc is flat and no decoration can be seen. The reverse of the disc is flat and the corroded remains of two possible attachment studs, 11 mm diameter can be seen diametrically opposite each other, each near the edge of the disc. Bridle bosses with elaborate flanges are described in records on this database such as NMS-AEAF95, NMS-C77FD8 and HAMP-029108, and ascribed post-medieval dates. Overall diameter, 58 mm, thickness 6.9 mm. Weight 58.3 g

DENO-7EA95C: VESSEL
A fragment of a cast copper alloy vessel leg of medieval to post medieval date (c 1350 - 1650 AD) The leg has a rectangular section with a central rib, and a turned out foot. The rib continues onto the foot,. This form of leg and foot was common on vessels throughout the medieval period, and up to the mid seventeenth century. (FRG Datasheet 41) The break at the upper end of the leg seems to have a cavity, 6.4 mm across, with what could be the remains of a tube or collar, possibly associated with the attachment to the body of the vessel. The rib appears to bifurcate at this end, but the fragment is much abraded and corroded. A similar leg and foot form is depicted on an early Posnet, (Fig 1, FRG Datasheet 41) Length 60.1 mm, width 25 mm, 27 mm at foot. Thickness 11.5 mm, weight 99.1 g

DENO-7D4B7C: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete cast copper alloy object, possibly a strap fitting, probably of post-medieval date (c AD 1500 - 1700) The object is broadly triangular in shape, tapering from 9.9 mm wide to 3.1 mm, and from 5 mm thick to 3 mm. It is corroded and abraded but seems to be formed as four rounded beads or segments with waists between, diminishing in size to form the overall triangular wedge shape. The widest of these segments appears to terminate in a break and has an oval patch of corrosion product 2.9 mm diameter. The rear surface is flat, the segments are hollowed. The second and fourth segment, counting from the narrow tip, have what appears to be the corroded stubs of attachment rivets or studs. The break suggests the possibility that this is a fragment from a larger object. Length 25.2 mm, overall width 9.9 mm. Weight 2.9 g

DENO-ECF677: COIN
A copper alloy probable contemporary copy of a Roman nummus of Constantine I (AD 306-337), dating to the period AD 307-318 (Reece Period 15). SOLI INVICTO COMITI reverse type, depicting Sol standing right, looking left, chlamys across left shoulder, holding globe and raising right hand. Unclear mint. The coin has a small flan compared to others of this type.

DENO-EC9C22: WEIGHT
An incomplete Iron and lead alloy steelyard weight, probably of Roman date (c. AD 43 - 410) The weight is bi-conical with a circumferential rim 8 mm wide. At either apex are corroded stubs of iron wire, circular cross-section, 3 mm diameter, representing the remains of a suspension loop. The object has several dents and a dusty white patina. Diameter 29 mm, height 25 mm. Weight 104.7 g

DENO-EC62CB: AMPULLA
A lead alloy ampulla of medieval date (c. 1350 - 1550). The ampulla is in the shape of a scallop. Although associated with the pilgrim site of St James of Compostela in Spain, the scallop was a popular generic symbol of pilgrimage. One face has molded ridges suggesting the form of a scallop shell. This side is slightly convex. There is a split between the center two of these ridges near the outer edge. The other face is slightly concave, possibly exaggerated by damage - there is a dent running vertically down the object. This face is decorated with a cross-hatched triangle which may represent a bishop's mantle - a motif associated with St Thomas Becket. The design is within three concentric circles. There is a flaring neck which terminates in a jagged break. There are two broken suspension lugs, one either side of the neck. Although broken and distorted they appear to have been D-shaped with a circular cross-section, 2 mm diameter. Length 39 mm, width 36.5 mm, thickness 6.8 mm. Weight 45.9 g

DENO-58628A: COIN
A copper alloy Roman Q radiate of Allectus (AD 293 - 296), dating to the period AD 293 - 296 (Reece Period 14). VIRTVS AVG reverse type, depicting a galley left with oars and a mast. Mint of London. RIC V.2, p. 563, no. 55.

DENO-580433: BUCKLE
A copper alloy single loop D-shaped buckle of medieval date (c. 13th - 14th century). The frame is D-shaped with a narrowed and offset strap bar and a notched pin rest. A copper alloy pin is in situ. The pin is wrapped around the bar, has a circular cross-section and tapers to a point. The pin is bent towards the end. It is possible this was due to use, but the buckle as a whole shows damage, the bar and one side of the frame being bent, which could be post-depositional. Length is 17.3 mm, width 14.1 mm, thickness 2.2 mm. Weight 1.6 g.

DENO-579086: MOUNT
An incomplete cast copper alloy openwork mount of Post-Medieval (c 17th century) date. The mount has a point surmounting two circular loops, which could be interpreted as a fleur-de-lis with openwork petals (compare record SUR-178116). The mount appears to widen from the base of the lis, but then terminates in a jagged break. It is possible that the object represents the terminal of a heart-shaped mount similar to record SUR-17A39C or SUR-434DBE The back of the mount is undecorated, and behind the fleur-de-lis component it is flat; it appears to become concave as it widens, which is consistant with the suggestion that it originally resembled SUR-17A39C. Between the petals of the lis there is a projecting shank, circular in section, 2.2 mm diameter, probably the remains of an attachment lug. Overall length 25 mm, width 15.3 mm. Thickness 2.4 mm, weight 2.2 g.

DENO-5685F7: HARNESS FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy harness link, possibly a cheek piece, probably of early medieval date. The object consists of a lozenge-shaped knobbed loop, 9.8 mm diameter, very similar to those described by Williams (2007, 2-5) and ascribed to the Anglo-Scandinavian period, circa 11th Century. The loop is attached by a shank with a D-shaped cross-section, 9 mm long, 5.8 mm wide, to a lozenge-shaped openwork plate. The plate is flat, the edges, c 18 mm length, have a waved appearance, with three rounded peaks to each edge. There are three circular holes, 3 mm diameter and appearing countersunk, arranged in a triangle, near one angle of the lozenge; on the other half of the plate there are two similar holes, filled with what could be corrosion debris or the remains of rivets. On the other face of the plate the holes show no countersinking. There is another shank projecting from the plate at right angles to the one terminating in the knobbed loop. This terminates in an apparently old break. Assuming this shank would have joined a similar loop, the overall form of the object resembles Williams' types, but lacks the Ringerike-style decoration. The plate is worn and does not retain any evidence of decoration. Overall length 58 mm, width 36 mm, thickness 3 mm, weight 17.9 g

DENO-554113: SWORD
A copper alloy pommel from a sword or large dagger of probable late medieval date. The pommel is bi-conical, with the upper half (IE, that which would have been furthest from the sword blade) rounded, giving an overall appearance of a flattened sphere. The rounded surface has nine grooves radiating from a sub-circular central perforation, 5 mm in diameter, which possibly accommodated the tang of the blade. The grooves divide the surface into lobes and give a fluted appearance, similar to that seen on pommels described by Ward-Perkins (1940, p 32 -34). Ward-Perkins notes that pommels divided into lobes can be observed on memorial brasses dating to AD 1467. Such pommels, however, appear fully spherical, The object is hollow, the lower half being an undecorated truncated cone terminating in a wide aperture, 17 mm in diameter. The closest parallel found on this database is record LEIC-158DA1, however that object is divided into six lobes rather than nine. The conical and rounded halves are separated by a circumferential band, much abraded, 5 mm in width. The object has a mottled green and grey patina. Overall diameter is 30.2 mm, height 16.2 mm, thickness 7.3 mm, weight 45.2 g

DENO-C56972: BROOCH
A fragment of a copper alloy Roman hinged Colchester derivative, hinged brooch, dating the period c AD 55 - 100. Only the head of the bow and part of one wing remain. The wing is broadly rectangular in shape and rectangular in cross-section, though the surface of the reverse has worn away. The bow is D-shaped in cross-section. The front of the bow has a prominent central rib, and what may be decoration in the form of incised lateral lines on the head near the junction with the wing. The reverse of the head has a groove for the hinged pin and half of the axis bar is still visible in the surviving wing. Length 16.6 mm, width 19.7 mm, thickness 10.83 mm. Weight 3.3 g

DENO-C47B60: PALSTAVE
An incomplete copper alloy palstave axe head dating to the Middle Bronze Age, circa 1450 - 1200 BC. The palstave is in good condition but broken behind the stopridge, most of the rectangular cross-sectioned butt is missing. It has a single, well formed side loop. The blade has a heavily curved faceted/bevelled cutting edge which shows marks of hammering. On both sides there is a thin median rib from the stop ridge to the blade facet. The object is an early/primary looped palstave (group III) with a mid-rib, dating to the Acton Park II to Taunton to early Penard phase of metalwork (1450 - 1200 BC). The blade facet shows ripples from the metal being drawn down through hammering to sharpen the blade. The surface of the rest of the blade, on all four sides, has many small indents that appear to be decorative. The patina of the axe is almost complete. One face of the axe has a distinctive light blue to turquoise colour while the other is a darker green. The break appears old and has developed a green patina. The surface of the break is pitted and has several deep indents, formed by air bubbles in the alloy as the object was being cast. A similar object is illustrated in Rowlands 1976 Fig 3, Plate 54 (Eglesham Meadows hoard). Overall length 95.4 mm. Width at butt 23.4 mm, at blade 63.7 mm. Thickness 31.3 mm at stopridge, tapering to 1.0 mm at blade edge. Weight 260 g.

A copper alloy Roman as of Antoninus Pius (AD 138-161), dating to the period AD 138-161 (Reece Period 7). Uncertain reverse type depicting a figure standing left and raising right hand. Probably mint of Rome.

DENO-30AEB5: COIN
An incomplete silver medieval double patard of Philip the Fair of Burgundy dating to c.1482-1506.

An Iron Age uninscribed silver unit of the North Eastern region / Corieltavi, dating to 50 - 20 BC. South Ferriby Daisy type. Obverse: boar and pellets (very worn and faint). Reverse: Horse right, double upper front legs, large V-shaped open mouth, sun rosette above. ABC 1806, VA 884, BMC 3228-29.

DENO-2F04B9: MOUNT
An incomplete cast lead alloy mount of probable post-medieval date (c. 1500 - 1700). The mount is circular in plan and moulded in the form of a lion's head with mane. The features are abraded but eyes, nose, mouth and folds of the mane can be discerned. There is some damage, a dent across the top right hand side of the head, and the lower part of the moth and chin are flattened by abrasion. The reverse is uneven, there are two slots, one going horizontally across the diameter of the mount, another, deeper slot bisects this vertically. Other similar mounts recorded on this database are described as having the remains of iron pins or studs; it is possible these slots accommodated such, but there are no remaining traces. Several similar mounts have been recorded on the PAS database including KENT-E56D67, YORYM-0E94A7, HESH-272C18, WAW-5FF592, HAMP-063211, WILT-DA7874 and BERK-A58394. These have all been dated to the post-medieval period, c. 1500 to 1700, mainly due to being solid, cast out of lead and with an iron attachment wire on the back. The use of wire is similar to that seen in bag seals or possibly seals suspended on wire from pottery or glass vessels. These mounts are often mistaken for Roman Lion Head mounts which tend to be conical hollow cast objects, made from copper alloy. Diameter 24 mm, thickness 9.7 mm, weight 29.6 g

DENO-2E8920: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch (AD c. 75 - 175). The head is oval and contains the spring mechanism, now obscured by a mass of iron corrosion product. No trace of a pin remains. An oval-cross-sectioned bow projects from the centre of the front of the head with a D-shaped downward curve. Mid-way along the bow, at the apex of the curve, is a circular acanthus moulding with a moulded collar at top and bottom. The bow extends below this, with four ribs creating a cruciform section. The rib on the reverse of the bow extends to become the catch plate, which appears to have been triangular in shape, but which is now damaged and incomplete. The front rib of the bow has sawtooth decoration on either side. The bow terminates in a collar which may have attached to a knop, but now has an apparently old break. A similar brooch is illustrated in Hattatt (2000), p.328, fig 436 dated 1st - 2nd Century AD. Overall length 61 mm, width of head 21.2 mm, thickness of bow 6 mm. Weight 27.8 g

DENO-2DEA34: TOKEN
A uniface cast lead alloy token of medieval to post medieval date (c. 1400 - c. 1650). The decorated face shows an open hexafoil 'daisy wheel' design (Baylis type 16). The petals are slightly asymmetric, with one of the arcs of the pattern double formed. The alloy has a silvery, metallic tint, possibly indicating a high tin content. Fletcher (2003) notes that the open-petal 'daisy wheel' design persists for many centuries, but suggests that geometric patterns generally appear post AD 1400.

DENO-2D9D57: COIN
An incomplete and highly worn copper alloy coin; possibly a Roman as or dupondius of uncertain ruler, dating to the AD c. 41 - 260. Uncertain reverse type. Uncertain mint. Approximately 50% of the flan remains.

DENO-2D4744: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A copper alloy possible Roman umbonate disc brooch. There is no trace of a pin attachment, and the size is smaller than most examples on this database. The domed central boss, 12.7 mm diameter, is surrounded by a flat irregular hexagonal border with a wavy edge and projecting knops at each corner. The object is only symmetrical in one axis suggesting that any hinge lug and catchplate would have been placed between pairs of knops rather than on the reverse of the knops. The knops appear to terminate in old breaks, so it is possible this object is the central fragment of a wheel brooch or an open work mount (for example see record LIN-955C82). The rear of the boss is hollow. The object has a red-brown and dark green patina with patches of a paler green corrosion product. Artefacts with similar bosses are medieval book fittings, such as HAMP-1D6833. Overall diameter 24 mm. Thickness 1.9 mm, height of boss 5 mm. Weight 5.2 g

DENO-9E58BC: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A fragment of an unidentified cast copper alloy object of probable post-medieval date. Possibly the terminal knop of a spoon, candle-snuffer or similar stemmed implement. The object has a terminal in the shape of a fleur-de-lis with a neatly drilled hole through the central tip. The terminal projects from a pentagonally cross-sectioned pedestal, which narrows and expands in width three times, with a vertical groove running down each face. The base of the pedestal has the stub of a pentagonally cross-sectioned stem projecting from its centre, which is 6mm diameter. Width 12 mm, length 37.4 mm. Weight 16.5 g

DENO-9CF178: COIN
A silver medieval farthing of Edward II (1307-1327). Possibly Withers Type 30 (North 1070/1) minted in London, 1310-1314.

DENO-9C6AB9: VESSEL
A base sherd from a medieval (c AD 1200-1550) wheel-thrown coarse ware vessel. Fabric is hard, dark grey with abundant round pale inclusions. There are patches of highly abraded brown slip. The lower surface has blackened patches possibly from exposure to cooking fires. Curvature suggests a diameter at base of 140 -160 mm. Length 68 mm, width 50 mm, thickness 9 mm. Weight 45.6 g

DENO-9C489D: VESSEL
Six sherds of medieval wheel thrown pottery, .c AD 1200 - 1500, Interior fabric is a reduced light-mid grey with sandy inclusions and small voids. Exterior fabric is orange-pink with green glaze. Combined weight is 56.5 g, Typical thickness 6 mm.

DENO-9B5D2F: VESSEL
Three sherds from a large medieval wheel-thrown grit ware vessel probably dating from about AD 1300 - 1500. The fabric is hard, gritty and irregular in texture. The interior fabric is buff coloured, the outer surface has a dark grey-brown slip. . There are frequent poorly sorted inclusions of angular quartz and grey grit with occasional iron-rich rounded black grit. Curvature suggests a diameter of the base of 360 mm. Thickness of base 14 mm. Combined weight 283 g

DENO-9ABB4C: VESSEL
A rim sherd from a sandy ware vessel of medieval date (c AD 1200 -1500). Interior fabric is a reduced mid to dark grey , outer fabric is red-orange with abundant irregular inclusions up to 3 mm. The rim is broad (extending 33 mm from the body) and flat on top. The underside of the rim is blackened, probably from fire, possibly indicating the vessel was used for cooking. The interior curvature of the sherd indicates the vessel had a diameter of 240 mm, and the sherd represents 7.5 % of the circumference. Overall length 58.2 mm, width 29 mm, thickness 10 mm. Weight 44.2 g

DENO-9A4038: VESSEL
A sherd, probably from the wall of a vessel of medieval date (c AD 1200 -1500). Derbyshire sandy ware, a hard red-orange fabric with sparse pale inclusions up to 2 mm. The sherd is trapezoidal in shape. Length31 mm, width 16 mm, thickness 6 mm. Weight 3.6 g

DENO-9A0611: VESSEL
Three body sherds from a medieval (c AD 1200-1500 ) pottery vessel, two fitting. Coal Measures White Ware; a pale grey reduced interior fabric with abundant dark inclusions and small voids. A creamy outer fabric, also showing inclusions. The larger sherd shows some linear marks, possible from wheel-throwing. Thickness 6 mm, Combined weight 21 g

DENO-09F95A: BUCKLE
A copper alloy double looped rectangular buckle frame of Post-Medieval date, c. 1570-1700. The buckle has a rectangular frame with two rectangular internal loops, separated by a central bar. The sides of the frame and bar are rounded, with a sub-circular cross-section, with the exception of one edge of the frame which is flattened and at an angle, presumably to accommodate the strap or belt. The pin is in-situ, circular in cross-section, 2.5 mm diameter tapering to a blunt point. The buckle is undecorated and does not have a pin rest. Length 24 mm, width 22.3 mm, thickness 3.3 mm, weight 6 g

DENO-09A175: BUCKLE
A fragment of a cast copper alloy buckle, probably of post-medieval date (c. 1650 - 1750). The fragment appears to be from an oval or D-shaped frame, and breaks off before the bar or second loop, making it difficult to determine the shape of the original buckle, whether single or double loop. The surviving part of the frame is flat on one face, creating a D- shaped cross-section, the upper surface is decorated with multiple moulded transverse grooves, with a central recess, probably for a pin. Both ends terminate in breaks, one seems to start to form a knop before the break. Length 25 mm, width 5 mm, thickness 3 mm, weight 2.1 g

DENO-08FC1D: FINGER RING
A copper alloy finger ring of post-medieval date (c. 1700 - 1900). The ring has a broad (6 mm) undecorated hoop with a shield-shaped bezel soldered onto it. There is a soldered joint visible in the hoop directly behind the bezel. The bezel is undecorated. The entire object has a patchy green patina. Similar rings are described in records DUR-9A7F0B and YORYM-A3AAA8. These records mention traces of gilding, but no gilding is visible in this case. Diameter 21 mm. Thickness of hoop 1.3 mm. Bezel measures 14 mm by 12 mm. Weight 4.6 g

An incomplete copper alloy contemporary copy of a Roman radiate (barbarous radiate) of Tetricus I (AD 271 - 274), dating to the period AD 275 - 285 (Reece Period 14). PAX AVG reverse type, depicting Pax standing left holding branch and sceptre. Copying Gallic Mint 1. Coin is very chipped and abraded. Diameter 17.2 mm, thickness 2.1 mm. Weight 1.5 g

DENO-06BB35: BELL
A fragment from the rim of a copper alloy open bell, probably post-medieval in date (c. 1500 - 1700). Estimated diameter of the bell mouth is 70 mm. Approximately 15% of the circumference is represented by the fragment, which has a thickened edge and two circumferential grooves. The patina has a slight silvery sheen which may point to tin included in the metal mix for its acoustic properties. A tinned copper alloy bell was discovered in a hoard of ecclesiastical artefacts thought to have been buried in the 16th century (DENO-2FE6CD). Length 35 mm, width 20 mm, thickness 2.4 mm, weight 7.7g

DENO-066B47: DRESS HOOK
An incomplete lead alloy early post-medieval dress hook (c 16th century). The dress hook fits into Read (2008) Class D, Type 6: A trefoil formed by three domed bosses rising from a triangular sheet. Each boss is decorated with four raised pellets arranged in a circle surrounding a fifth. Between the bosses is central pellet surrounded by three pellets arranged in a triangle. Read (2008: 258) suggests these pellets are imitative of wire filigree. On the reverse is an incomplete and distorted integral loop, there may have been an embedded wire hook, now missing. A similar object is described in record NMS-68FC57 on this database. Length 22 mm, width 21 mm, thickness 6 mm. Weight 8.3 g

DENO-769AB4: COIN
A copper alloy Roman sestertius of Julia Domna (AD 193-211), dating to the period AD 193-196 (Reece Period 10). VESTA S C reverse type depicting Vesta, veiled, seated left, holding palladium and sceptre. Mint of Rome. RIC IV.1, p. 207, no. 843.

DENO-76268D: FINGER RING
A silver finger ring of post medieval or modern date. The ring appears to have been made by hammering a strip of silver, possibly cut from another object into a hoop with overlapping ends then soldering the ends along the overlap. The hoop is starting to come apart but some solder is still in situ. There appears to be part of an inscription on the inner surface, it is possible this was on the original source object rather than added to the ring. The letters making up the inscription are only partly visible and seem to have been cut through when the ring was made. They appear to end with ANNIA, probably from BRITANNIA. There is no curvature to the inscription which suggests that the ring was not made from the edge of a coin. However there are examples of finger rings made from coins such as DUR-D26B53. The hoop is 2.6 mm wide and 0.8 mm thick. The ring has a diameter of 17.8 mm and weighs 1.1 g. The find likely dates to later than 1708 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.

An enamelled copper alloy mount of early medieval date (c. 950 - 1150). Probably from a disc-brooch, but it is possible that it forms the inlay from another type of object such as a finger-ring. The object comprises a flat circular copper-alloy backplate with raised edges and is decorated with a cloisonné design formed by six semi-circular cells of dark blue enamel, one of which is damaged and part of the enamel missing, arranged around a central field of light blue enamel, so that the central field has six points. Within this blue 'star' are two sub-circular cells filled with dark red enamel. A similar Early-Medieval cloisonné mount with enamelled design is recorded on this database as YORYM-606C51. Record DOR-EC4E67 shows how the disc might have fitted into a disc brooch. Diameter is 15.6 mm, thickness 2.8 mm, weight 1.5 g

DENO-740385: HASP
A fragment of cast copper alloy open work object, probably part of an early medieval hasp (late Saxon c. 1000 - 1100). The object is trapezoidal in shape, and has ten piercings or holes arranged in rows of three, two, three and two. There are raised nodes along the edges; due to wear it is not possible to be sure if these are breaks. Cf. Margeson in Rogerson (1995), fig.41, no.75 (strap-end) and fig.46, no.99 (hasp). Also: NMS-89FF52. Width 24.4 mm, tapering to 20 mm, length 25 mm, thickness 2.7 mm. Weight 7.3 g

DENO-73678C: WEIGHT
A cast lead weight of uncertain date, possibly Roman. It is crudely conical in form, and has a hole running from tip to base - possibly this once housed a wire for suspension, a feature common on Roman steelyard weights, but there is no remaining trace or corrosion product. diameter at base 28 mm, height 16 mm. Weight 40.8 g

DENO-731AE3: JETTON
A copper alloy medieval English jetton of a rare late type (c. 1300-1400). cf. http://www.mernick.org.uk/englishjettons/series6c/29.htm Obverse shows a quatrefoil design, four leaves or petals with triangular wedges between. Reverse shows a cross crosslet within tressure. There is no inscription or legend. The jetton has been pieced in the centre with a neat hole, possibly drilled. Diameter 21.9 mm, thickness 1.1 mm Weight 2.6 g

DENO-BAD321: COIN
A silver post-medieval half-groat of James I (1603-1625). Second coinage, rose initial mark (North 2104), minted at the Tower of London (1605-1606).

DENO-BA5127: WEIGHT
A cast lead weight, probably of medieval to post-medieval date (c. 1200 - 1700). The object is circular, with a circumferential rim 3.2 mm thick. Each face has six raised pyramidal segments arranged around a central perforation 11.5 mm diameter. This creates an overall bi-conical shape. The object resembles a spindle-whorl, but there appears to be a groove worn across one side of the object between two pairs of segments. This suggests that a cord was tied across the face of the object, more consistent with use as a loom or net weight. The object has dusty white patina, worn in patches to show the metallic surface of the alloy. Diameter 31 mm, overall thickness 11 mm. Weight 36.8 g

DENO-B91108: PIN
An incomplete copper alloy pin of Roman to Early-Medieval date (AD c. 75-850). The object is composed of a plain globular or spherical head and a slightly hammered sub-circular sectioned shank which terminates in a break 9 mm below the head. There is no collar, which may suggest a Roman rather than Anglo-Saxon date. The object has a dark, glossy patina, chipped in places to reveal a greenish surface. Length 17.3 mm, diameter of head 8.6 mm , thickness of shank 2.8 mm. Weight 2.5 g.

DENO-B7D461: COIN
A copper alloy contemporary copy of a Roman nummus probably of the House of Constantine (AD 307 - 361), probably dating to the period AD 353 - 361 (Reece Period 18). Probably FEL TEMP REPARATIO reverse type, depicting a soldier spearing a fallen horseman. Copying unclear mint.

DENO-2782C2: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman Polden Hill brooch (AD c. 75 - c. 175). The spring mechanism, rear hook, pin and catchplate are missing. Short, hollow, semi-cylindrical wings would have housed the spring mechanism. The ends of these wings are worn but the end caps, which are characteristic of Polden Hill type brooches, are still present. The head of the bow is broadly rectangular in shape and becomes D-shaped in cross-section as the bow leaves the wings. The bow is decorated with a central ridge which runs along the bow to the foot. The ridge is further decorated with transverse grooves. The sides of the bow are decorated with moulded grooves. On the reverse surface of the bow there is a central rib which would have expanded into the catchplate, now missing. A similar brooch is illustrated in Hattatt (2000: p. 300, fig. 159, no. 379). The brooch has a slightly silvery patina, which suggests it is tinned. Overall measurements: length 46.0 mm, width 20.1 mm, thickness 14.0 mm, weight 11.4 g. The bow tapers from 12.2 mm wide at the head to 5.0 mm wide at the foot. The bow measures 4.6 mm thick.

DENO-26F7DC: COIN
A copper-alloy Roman sestertius of an uncertain emperor, dating to the period AD 41 - 260. Uncertain reverse type depicting Minerva standing right, brandishing a javelin and holding a spear. Probably mint of Rome. The Minerva reverse type is commonly seen on contemporary copies of Roman asses of Claudius, which were mostly struck by the Roman army immediately after the invasion. However, this example appears to be a regular sestertius.

DENO-26C9FA: COIN
A silver post-medieval half-groat of Elizabeth I (1558 - 1603). Third issue (North 2016), minted at the Tower of London, 1583 - 1603.

DENO-265393: STRAP END
An incomplete copper alloy hollow box chape of mediaeval date (c. 1400 - c. 1500). The chape is a flat box with a blunt trapezoidal plan. One face is decorated with four parallel pairs of incised lines running from the attachment end to the closed end of the chape - it is possible these may form a letter such as M in gothic / black letter script, but iron corrosion obscures part of the face, so it is not possible to be certain. The edge of the attachment end of the front face has some damage but appears to have had three rivet holes (2.5 mm diameter); one still houses the remains of an iron rivet. At the other end, iron corrosion indicates the presence of a central iron rivet. The reverse face is undecorated and has a piece missing from the edge of the attachment end. One rivet hole matching the location of a rivet hole on the front is broken, but the other two are missing completely. Slightly in from the surviving rivet hole is a circle of iron corrosion which appears to indicate the presence of another rivet. This may have been a repair to replace the rivet in the broken rivet hole. At the opposite end, the central rivet which pierces the front of the object also pierces the reverse and projects slightly out. This objects resembles so called 'lyre-shaped' strap ends, dated to the 15 th century (Ward-Perkins 1940: 270), examples on this database include SUSS-375954,and IOW-52E998. If it is a 'lyre-shaped' strap end, the iron corrosion from the central rivet at the closed end obscures the stump of the missing 'lyre-shaped' terminal. Length 25 mm, width 24 mm, tapering to 21 mm. Thickness 5.8 mm, weight 10 g.

DENO-243FD3: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy zoomorphic fitting probably of post-medieval date (c 1500 - 1900). It is in the form of a serpent or mythical beast. The object is S-shaped, with one end having the form of a serpent or bird head with open mouth, well defined eyes and a comb. The mouth looks as if it could have housed a pin or rivet. The other end terminates in an apparently old break. The body tapers to this break, and is thinner than the neck supporting the head at the other end, so it is possible it formed a tail rather than another head. The body has moulded scales, or possibly feathers and there is no collar at the waist. S-shaped, serpentine belt hooks are illustrated in Bailey (1997: 20) and dated to the 16th Century (This dating is based on portraiture. Bailey states that the form fell out of fashion by the 17th century, and was revived at the end of the 18th century). Most Snake form buckles illustrated in Bailey or Read (2008:230) are double headed and have a moulded collar at the mid-section,so this object appears atypical. It is possible, given the mouth shape, that it was a different form of fastener or hook, or part of a larger item. Length 29.5 mm, width13.9 mm, thickness 4.3 mm, weight 5 g.

A copper alloy nummus of Constantine I (AD 306 - 337), dating to the period AD 313-315 (Reece Period 15). SOLI INVICTO COMITI reverse type, depicting Sol radiate, standing left, raising right hand, globe in left, chlamys across left shoulder. Mint of Trier. RIC VII, p. 168, no. 40.

DENO-93AD88: JETTON
A post-medieval copper-alloy Nuremberg jetton of Hans Lauffer I (fl. 1607-1632) dating to 1607-1632. Rose/orb type with inscription apparently based on NIMANT KANT EWKERNDIN. Minted at Nuremberg. See Mitchiner (1988, 476), also PUBLIC-36D318. Diameter is 20.7 mm, thickness 0.6 mm, weight 0.8 g.

DENO-93435B: BUTTON
A copper alloy button of late medieval to post-medieval date (AD 1450-1550). The button is plano-convex with a raised pattern of a central pellet surrounded by six pellets each within a lozenge-shaped panel. On the reverse is an integrally cast sub-rectangular suspension lug extending 6.5 mm, with a circular hole. The general form of the button resembles those illustrated in Bailey 2004, p 25 -27, and ascribed a late 15th - 16th century date. Diameter 11 mm, thickness 2.2 mm, weight 2.5 g

DENO-92FB53: BUTTON
A copper alloy livery button showing a demi lion rampant emerging above a coronet, holding a battle-axe. This matches the crest for the Hanbury family. The reverse is inscribed with Rudge, 29 St Martins le Grand. Arthur Jeffrey Rudge was a "shopman for a button and trimming seller" at 29 St Martin's Le Grand in London in the early 1840s (The Post Office London Directory 1843, 354). He was imprisoned in the Debtors' Prison for London and Middlesex in 1842 (London Gazette 29 July 1842, Issue 20124, p. 2102 https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/20124/page/2102). He appeared at the the Court for Relief of Insolvent Debtors at the Court House in Portugal Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields on 14th November 1842 (The London Gazette 21 October 1842, Issue 20152, p. 2927 https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/20152/page/2927). The button is circular and convex. There is a circular attachment loop now bent flat. Diameter 16.3 mm, thickness 1.6 mm weight 2.3 g

DENO-914FEB: JETTON
A copper-alloy jetton of Medieval date (AD 1280 - 1345) probably of English origin and based on the contemporary silver long-cross coinage. Obverse shows a head facing, possibly a transition between a kings head and a lion. Reverse shows a cross flory. There is a small central perforation. A similar jetton is recorded on this database in record BH-BDC9D1. Diameter 18 mm, thickness 0.8 mm, weight 1 g

A silver demi-gros of Charles D'Anjou (AD 1246-1285) Marseille (Massilia) mint.

DENO-6CD9CC: FINGER RING
A cast copper alloy ring, probably post-medieval in date (c AD 1600 -1800). The ring has a D-section and is decorated with a pattern of raised crescents facing in alternating directions. The size of the ring suggests it could have been worn by a child, alternatively it could be a band from a knife handle or riding crop. Diameter 12.4 mm, width of band 3.9 mm, thickness 1.78 mm, weight 1.14 g

DENO-6C66C4: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A lead object with a fragment of bone embedded into it. The bone has been identified as a cattle or horse rib by Dr Umberto Albarella, Reader in Zooarchaeology at the University of Sheffield. The lead encases the bone very closely, suggesting it was poured molten over the bone, which was already excarnated (de-fleshed), and apparently broken - the lead has flowed along the fracture at one end of the bone. There are impressions in the lead which may indicate other bone fragments, now missing. The other side of the lead is flat with regular edges and stepped 'lip', as if the lead has adopted the shape of some object into which it was poured, perhaps as a sealant. It has been suggested that the object is part of an ossuary or reliquary. There are incised marks in the lead near the bone, which may represent attempts to break open or free the bones. Alternatively the marks might indicate that the lead was used as a soft anvil with the bone acting as a guide. The object may also have been part of a crossbones plaque. The findspot for this object is close to the site of a hall destroyed by fire in the Civil War - it is possible there is a connection.

DENO-6A6BCA: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead musket ball of post medieval, probably 17th century, date. Weight suggests it was more likely used with a carbine than a musket. The ball has a a visible casting seam but the sprue has been neatly trimmed. There is a slight set up mark, a flattened band around the 'waist' of the ball. This is caused by contact with the barrel of the weapon during firing. Diameter 15.3 mm, weight 20.61 g

DENO-6A4F5A: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead musket ball of post medieval, probably 17th century, date. Weight suggests it was more likely used with a carbine than a musket. The ball has a sight asymetry probably due to a miss-aligned casting mould. The sprue has been neatly trimed. Diameter 15.3 mm, weight 20.61 g

DENO-6A3018: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead musket ball of post medieval, probably 17th century, date. Weight suggests it was more likely used with a carbine than a musket. The ball has a flattened area - this is probably the 'zone of contact' from being fired as the end ball in a multi-ball load. Firing two or three shots at one time was common during the civil wars. The ball has a mottled grey and brown patina and shows no other distortions. Diameter 15.5 mm, weight 19.5 g

DENO-69C491: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead musket ball of post medieval, probably 17th century, date. Weight suggests it was fired from a small musket or carbine. The ball shows impact damage, it is distorted into a hemisphere but not completely flattened, suggesting impact at relatively low velocity or with a yeilding surface. The object has a pale cream patina. Weight is 24.5 g Diameter 20 mm

DENO-69B315: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead musket ball of post medieval, probably 17th century, date. Weight suggests it was fired from a small musket or carbine. The ball shows impact damage, it is distorted into a hemisphere but not completely flattened, suggesting impact at relatively low velocity or with a yeilding surface. The object has a pale cream patina. Weight is 19.8 g Diameter 20 mm

DENO-D9D878: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead ball of post medieval, probably 17th century, date. Probaby from a small musket or carbine. The ball has no obvious sprue scar or casting seam, but the surface is dimpled with shallow dents, probably through post depositional chewing by grazing animals, although it is possible the ball was deliberately chewed prior to firing in an attempt to improve trajectory. Weight is 24.6 g , diameter 16.1 mm

DENO-D9A893: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead musket ball of post medieval, probably 17th century, date. The ball was probably fired as the end ball of a multi ball load. It has a flattened 'zone of contact' and a cylindrical band of set up around the waist of the ball. This band also shows grooves which may be gas cutting. Firing two or three balls in one load was common practise in the civil war, as was the firing of a cylindrical plug behind a round ball, which would produce a similar flattened end and set-up band. Weight is 28.1 g, diameter 16.1 mm.

DENO-D926D0: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead musket ball of post medieval, probably 17th century, date. There is a prominent circular (6.3 mm diameter) sprue scar, trimmed with a knife leaving one sloping facet. The ball is well formed with a small casting seam. There are no obvious set-up marks or deformations. The weight of 23.6 g is more suggestive of use with a cavalry carbine than a musket. Diameter is 15.7 mm

DENO-D8ED36: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead musket ball of post medieval, probably 17th century, date. There is a prominent circular (6.3 mm diameter) sprue. This has been cut with a nipper, leaving a stub with two facets but not trimmed or filed. Harding, 2012, suggests that sprue could be left in situ for attaching paper cartridges. There are several dents on the surface, possibly due to post depositional damage by grazing animals. The weight , 24.6 g, is light for a musket ball, possibly the ball was cast for use in an arquebus or calvier. Diameter 16.1 mm

DENO-D8B20C: MUSKET BALL
A post-medieval to early modern (c AD1620 - 1850 ) cast lead ball from a pistol or possibly used as buck shot (Large game shot) The shot is well formed with no obvious sprue-scar, there is some slight flattening on areas of the surface which may be due to compaction against other shot or the barel. Weight is 9.7 g, diameter 11.8 mm.

DENO-D890B2: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead ball from a pistol or possibly used as buck shot or hail shot; the surface has several flattened areas which could have been caused by compaction against the barrel or other shot. The ball has a casting seam and a small cavity (possibly a collapsed sprue-scar) which suggests a date before the later 18th century. Weight is 11.5 g, diameter 12.6 mm

DENO-D854A2: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead ball from a pistol or possibly a small carbine. There is a casting seam, which suggests a date before the late 18th century when the drop-tower method of maufacture of smaller calibre shot was introduced. There is a cavity, 5.5 mm long and 2.8 mm wide, probably the collapsed sprue scar, due to overheated lead in casting. Weight is 9.4 g, diameter 11.8 mm

DENO-D81916: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead ball from a small musket, carbine or possibly pistol, probably of 17th Century date. The object is flattened from impact with a hard surface at high velocity. The impact side shows radiating striations. Weight is 11.7 g

DENO-D7E3C0: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead musket ball of post-medieval (probably 17th century) date. The ball is slightly deformed, oblate rather than spherical. This could be due to a miss-alighned casting mould or from impact with a yeilding surface at relatively low velocity. Traces of a casting seam can be seen, there is no obvious sprue scar. The ball has a pale creamy patina. The weight is 27.4 g, slightly lighter than usual for shot used with muskets. This could have been used with an arquebus or Caliver (Harding 2012) Diameter 17 mm

DENO-D790C9: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead musket ball of post-medieval (probably 17th century) date. The ball is well formed with no apparent sprue scar, the ball has a heavy grey patina and has many shallow dents which are probably post depositional and may be obscuring set up marks and casting seams. The weight, 30 g, fits that of balls used in smooth bore muskets, diameter is 18.5 mm

DENO-D6C3B1: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead musket ball of post-medieval (probably 17th century) date. The ball is well formed with no apparent distortion. It has a circular sprue scar, 7mm diameter, with one sloping facet suggesting it was cut with a knife. The weight, 30 g, fits that of balls used in smooth bore muskets,

DENO-D653B9: MUSKET BALL
A lead musket ball of post-medieval (probably 17th century) date. The ball is completely flattened, forming a sub-circular 'splat' of lead consistent with it hitting a soild unyeilding surface - it was found at the base of a church wall. There is a circular cavity, 2.5 mm diameter, roughly central on one surface which may represent the original sprue cavity formed by casting overheated lead, or a 'worm' hole. The weight, 30 g, fits that of balls used in smooth bore muskets.

DENO-D59063: MUSKET BALL
Three cast lead balls of post-medieval date to modern date (c 17th - 18th century AD) All are well cast with identical diameters, sprue scars and casting seam, suggesting they were cast using the same mould. The sprue appears to have been cut with nippers rather than with a knife as the cut and resulting sprue scar is symeterical on both sides. Each has a silght depression around the sprue scar, which could indicate the use of overheated lead (Harding 2012) The lead has a dark grey colour. The sprue is neatly cut but not filed or trimmed, there are no set up marks, each ball is very smooth and not distorted. This could indicate the balls had not been used in a firearm, possibly lost before use or used for alternate purposes such as weights or sling shot. The size and weight of the shot suggests intended use was with a carbine. Diameter is 14.5 mm (24 bore) weight 17.8 g. (total weight 53.6)

DENO-450A37: FINGER RING
An incomplete copper alloy of late medieval to post medieval date (c. 1400 - 1550). Only the bezel and shoulders remain, the hoop is missing. The ring has an oval bezel, abraded and chipped. It is engraved with a crowned letter I. Length of bezel 16.8 mm, width 8.3 mm, thickness 2.8. Weight 2.9 g

DENO-44992D: STIRRUP
An incomplete copper alloy stirrup terminal of early medieval date, c 11th century AD. The terminal has a hollow back, which would have enclose the lower arm of the stirrup (Williams 1997). The front of the terminal is zoomorphic, representing a beast's head with snout and tendrils, resembling the Ringerike style. One wall of the terminal has an old break, extending to the upper end. There is no apparent collar; this may be missing due to the break. The form resembles the snub-nosed types illustrated in Williams 1997, fig 2. Length 34.4 mm, width 11 mm, width 2.3 mm. Weight is 11.9 g

DENO-436695: SWORD BELT
An incomplete copper alloy sword belt-hanger of post-medieval date (c. 1500 - 1600). Approximately half of the plate survives, with one suspension loop and part of another. A third suspension loop and the right terminal are missing. There is a 1.6 mm diameter rivet hole above the central, incomplete suspension loop. The plate has incised foliate decoration on the face, the reverse is blank, the rivet hole appears counter sunk on the reverse.. A very similar object is illustrated in Read (2001, p 43, no 373), with hooked mounts attached to the suspension loops. This is dated to the 16th century. A similar object is also recorded on this database, record SUR-A5C5D2 Overall length 37 mm, width 14 mm, thickness 2.4 mm. Weight 8.2 g

DENO-42BC70: COIN WEIGHT
A copper alloy coin weight of post-medieval date (c AD 1750 -1780) It is circular, both faces show corrosion and have no discernable inscription except an indistinct stamp near the edge of one face, this could be a C or a G. From the size and weight of the object it is possible that it is from a 'long set' for weighing Portuguese Moidore and Johannes coins. The object's current weight of 7.2 g approximates the weight of the quarter Johannes, worth 9 shillings. (Biggs 1992, table 1) Diameter 19.3 mm, thickness 3.3 mm

DENO-422FAF: CLOTH SEAL
An incomplete lead alloy seal, probably part of an alnage seal of post-medieval date (c. 1525 - 1724). The object is one disc from a two or four disc set. It is circular with the stub of a 11 mm wide connecting strip protruding 5 mm from the edge. One side is stamped with a crown over three stars. The crown and stars were a very common motif on alnage seals, particularly London seals (Egan 1992, p 2). Diameter of disc is 28.3, thickness 2.7 mm. Weight 15.1 g

DENO-C52514: JEWS HARP
A cast copper alloy Jew's harp of post medieval date. The object has an oval loop with two arms which taper to a point. The loop and arms have a lozenge-shaped cross-section. The harp is worn with the arms being slightly bent upwards. There is a dent to the loop which may be post-depositional. The iron 'pluck' which would have been struck to cause vibration is missing. Bailey, 2001, states this component is frequently missing or corroded. This object resembles harps illustrated in Bailey and dated to the 17th or 18th Century. Overall length 51 mm, width 27 mm, thickness at loop 6 mm. Weight 10.8 g

DENO-C4D588: SPINDLE WHORL
A cast lead alloy bi-conical spindle-whorl probably of medieval to post medieval date (c. 1100 - 1850). The object has a narrow circumferential rim, both surfaces are decorated with raised chevrons, pellets and lines, now abraded and with a thick pale grey patina. The central perforation, 10 mm diameter, is well formed. There is a small (1mm diameter) hole pierced from the rim through to the central perforation. The purpose of this is unclear, the object may have been used as a hanging weight. Diameter 27 mm, thickness 12 mm, weight 36.2 g.

DENO-C44A18: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A cast lead alloy object of uncertain function probably of post-medieval date (c. 1500-1600). It is circular in plan, the upper surface is decorated with seven concentric raised circles with grooves between them, and a central pellet. The grooves are currently filled with a dusty buff coloured patina. The reverse face of the object is hollow, with a raised circular rim 2 mm thick, 22 mm diameter, 6 mm within the edge of the object. It is possible the object was a lid for some receptacle. The object has been pierced 7.5 mm from the edge, and there is dark brown corrosion product around the piercing on both sides, suggesting a ferrous rivet or wire was inserted. This could indicate the object was reused as a mount or brooch. The edge of the object is chipped. Diameter is 31 mm, thickness 4 mm. Weight 13.9 g

DENO-C38239: CROSS
A lead alloy cross of probable post-medieval date (c. 1524 - 1650). In shape the object is a Greek cross with wide, almost square arms. One face has a raised rectangular border between the arms, framing a chi-rho symbol, the rest of the surface area is filled with text. The language has been identified as German. The name Jesus is written with a J rather than an I, which may suggest a date after 1524 (although apparently German was an early adopter of the J form) The other face has a moulded decorative scene, probably depicting Jesus preaching to Zacchaeus. There are no obvious attachment lugs or loops. Cruciform amulets decorated with biblical scenes and texts were used as apotropaic objects (see Korsvoll 2018, 159). They were often sewn into the clothing of travellers. Length 71 mm, width 70 mm, thickness 6 mm. Weight is 48.24 g

DENO-1DCCB4: PIN
An incomplete copper alloy pin head probably of middle Anglo-Saxon date (c. AD 700 - 900) The head is polyhedral, formed from a cuboid with the corners cut off to form four lozenge-shaped faces and a pyramidal tip with four lozenge facets. The four facets at the base are more triangular as they are truncated. The shaft has a round section 3.6 mm diameter. There might be a collar beneath the head, but there is an irregular break in the stem just below it, which makes it difficult to be certain. The faces seem undecorated, although the object is corroded and has a green dusty patina. Overall length 18.7 mm, width 8.6 mm, weight 5.8 g.

DENO-1D7534: SPINDLE WHORL
A cast lead alloy spindle whorl, probably of medieval date. The object is bi-conical with a broad circumferential rim and a wide (10.4 mm) central perforation. Both upper and lower surfaces are decorated with raised lines at varying angles. Lead alloy spindle whorls are difficult to date as the same basic design was in use for a long period. The decorative style is consistent with others recorded on this database and assigned a medieval date. cf SWYOR-A34CA5, LVPL-DDE0C3 Diameter 23.5 mm, height 11.5 mm, weight 26 g

DENO-1D3679: SPOON
A fragment of a copper alloy spoon of Roman date (c AD 43 - 410) Part of the stem, the curved, off-set junction with the stem and a portion of the bowl remain. The bowl is shallow and has a rib on the back which is a continuation of the stem. The stem has a sub rectangular cross-section. All surfaces are pitted by corrosion and have a green patina. Overall length is 36.4 mm, Thickness of stem 2.6 mm, width at bowl 13.3 mm. Weight is 2.5 g

DENO-1B14FE: SEAL MATRIX
A medieval copper alloy circular seal matrix with a pierced semi-circular lug and rib to the reverse (c. 1300-1500). The rib is 5.3 mm thick, tapering to 2.6 mm. The hole in the suspension lug is 3 mm diameter. The die bears a heraldic design, a square topped shield in a tressure of three arches, with a field of pellets, arranged in rows of four, three, two and one. Across the top is a horizontal line with three crenulations pointing downwards. There is an circumferential inscription with a cross orientation mark. The inscription reads + LE SEEL DE LA PREVOSTE DE SAInT (I)OV(h)n. John Cherry suggests this may have belonged to a prévoté of France (similar to an English sheriff) and suggests that this position may have been held by "a Babington in the service of Henry V or VI, who had a minor administrative role in Lancastrian France" (pers. comm. 23/11/2018). The seal might show the arms of Babington (argent, ten torteaux in chief a label of three points azure) or Zouche (Gules, ten bezants 4, 3, 2, 1). Clive Cheeseman says, "the label was a fixture of the Babington arms, but was still a functioning mark of cadency in the Zouche case" (pers. comm. 23/11/2018). Overall diameter, 32.9 mm, thickness 2.4 mm. Weight is 16.9 g

DENO-1AA2FE: HARNESS PENDANT
A cast copper alloy harness pendant of medieval date, circa AD 1200 - 1400. The pendant is in the form of a square topped shield with a suspension loop at 90° to the plane of the pendant. The hole in the suspension loop is blocked with corrosion material. The shield has a simple heraldic device in the form of three horizontal bands, 5 mm wide, of what appears to be dark blue enamel. David Harpin has identified the heraldry as "Barry of six Or or Argent and Azure". The rest of the surface has a dark green patina and some pitting. Similar heraldic harness pendants are shown in Read (2001, 53-54). Width 25.5 mm, height 29 mm, thickness 2.4 mm, weight 8.4 g

DENO-1A3A5C: FIGURINE
A cast copper alloy figurine, probably of post-medieval to modern date (c 1600 - 1900). The figure is a hermaphradite human in a semi-squat pose, with an exagerated erect phallus. The figure is wearing beaded necklaces and an elaborate head dress. No direct parallels have been found by the recorder, although a similar figurine without the phallus was discovered for sale on Ebay which according to its description is "Modeled on an original from the Luba-Hemba Tribe, Republic of the Congo." The Luba-Hemba people inhabit northern Katanga and southern Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Dr Zachary Kingdom (Curator of Africa Collections at the World Museum, Liverpool) has looked at this figurine and describes it as a 'concoction made for the market, trading on stereotypes'. Height 99 mm, width 54 mm, thickness 26 mm, weight 245.5 g

DENO-0ABAC0: SCOOP
An incomplete post-medieval cast copper alloy scoop from a mechanical seed drill. The object comprises a hemispherical bowl with a thick, facetted stem. File marks can be seen on the stem and bowls. There is a circular depression, 2.5 mm deep, 4.5 mm diameter, apparently drilled, on the back of the bowl. The stem terminates in an old break 15.8 mm from the junction with the bowl. This would be one of several spoon-like scoops mounted on a revolving drum which scooped up seed from a hopper and directed it via chutes to the furrow. Overall length 36.7 mm, width 18.2 mm, thickness 7.2 mm. Weight 15.1g.

DENO-0A5A41: SPEARHEAD
A cast copper alloy looped socketed spearhead dating to the Early Bronze Age, circa 1700 - 1550 BC. The blade tip is missing, the socket and base of the blade remain, the blade terminating in an old break 30.8 mm from the blade-socket junction. The midrib is lozenge-shaped in cross-section. On either side of the midrib are deep channels. The blade wings are broadly triangular in cross-section.. The ribs do not extend onto the socket. The socket is circular in cross-section, it tapers slightly from 22 mm at the base to 19 mm at the blade socket junction, where it becomes more eliptical in cross-section. Near the rim of the socket are the broken lugs for two loops placed roughly opposite each other, in line with the blade wings. The tip of the wooden shaft of the spear survives in the socket. The object has a pitted surface and a olive green/brown patina with light green and brown patches. Overall length 92 mm, width 31 mm, thickness 10.5 mm, Weight 80.8 g. Stylistically, the spearhead fits into Davis Group 2 Socketed Type B Looped. Richard Davis says: "The key attributes ... are the V-shaped base to the blade as it merges with the socket. The midrib does not follow the line of the socket, but is narrower than the socket as it enters the V. There is a channel each side of the midrib as it leads to the raised blade wings. The loops are low on the socket. There is a characteristic inward curve of the profile from above the socket to the blade. ... These spearheads represent the first stage of combining the blade with the socket. They are dated to the Arreton Phase 1700-1550 BC based on hoard evidence. Finds of Group 2 spearheads are rare. [Davis'] PBF catalogue comprises 8 with pegholes and 22 with loops. The only local finds from the Group are one with a peghole, dredged from the River Trent at Colwick (Castle Museum collection): and one with loops purchased from a car boot sale and believed to have come from the Trent gravels (DENO-DC4C87)." pers. comm. 31/10/2018.

DENO-73408A: VESSEL
Two copper alloy rim fragments from a dish or cooking vessel, probably of late medieval to post-medieval date (c 1200 - 1600). One fragment is thickened (5 mm) on one surface towards the rim, which then tapers again, creating an asymmetric D-shaped cross-section. This fragment is sub-rectangular in plan, 33 mm wide, 35 mm long: three sides being old breaks, the other being the rim. The other fragment is flat, and may represent part of a lug or handle as two edges are rounded, two being breaks. 25 mm wide, 29 mm long. Overall weight 20 g.

DENO-E4448C: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper alloy buckle plate or strap end probably of medieval date (c. 1250-1400). Comprising two rectangular plates, length 26 mm, width 22 mm, joined at one end by two circular rivets (both in situ) 1 mm diameter, 14 mm apart. There is no apparent decoration, both plates have a dusty green and brown patina and edges are corroded. Overall thickness 3 mm. The plates are 0.5 mm thick. Weight is 3.16 g

DENO-E3ECD1: RING
A copper alloy ring, possibly a medieval (c. 14th - early-15th century) buckle missing its pin. The frame has flattened upper and lower surfaces, creating an oval section. There is no recess or restraining notch for a pin, suggesting this may have been a buckle rather than a brooch (an alternative is that this was a netting ring, but the frame appears too thick). There are file marks on the surface. Diameter 26 mm, thickness 4 mm, Weight 2.6 g

DENO-E2F185: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead alloy object, in shape a truncated cone with a flat top and base. A 10 mm diameter perforation, slightly off-centre, runs from top to base and is currently filled with depositional material. The object is probably a spindle whorl or loom-weight, and is difficult to date precisely: probably medieval to medieval (c 900-1500). All surfaces have a dark grey patina. There are faint vertical lines or scratches around the sides; due to the patina it is difficult to say if these represent decoration or are just due to abrasion; there are also some radiating groves on the lower surface which may be worn decoration or wear from thread or cord. Diameter at base 31 mm, at top 26 mm, height 15mm. weight 38.3 g

DENO-E11176: THIMBLE
A lead object, probably a palm guard of post-medieval date (c 1500 - 1800). It is a shallow dome with an uneven surface and is sub-circular in plan. The base is slightly concave. In form, it resembles several objects described on this database as medieval weights but is considerably larger and heavier. There are several deep puncture marks and scratches on the base, some square-shaped. This suggests that the object may have been used as a form of palm guard. Diameter 66 mm, height 24 mm, weight

DENO-E0460D: WEIGHT
A lead and iron steelyard weight, probably of Roman date (AD 43 - 410). The object is conical in shape with a flat base. From the blunt tip emerge two short stubs of ferrous wire, probably the remains of the suspension loop. There is a shallow, corroded loop of wire (3 mm diameter) protruding from the base; this seems a common feature in Roman steelyard weights. The object has a pale cream patina on all surfaces, and several dents and scratches that are probably post-depositional. Diameter of base 30 mm, height 35 mm. Weight is 103 g

DENO-DFF6B2: NAIL
A fragment of an iron hand made nail of uncertain date. The head has heavy corrosion, it shows a sub rectangular plan, sloping to each corner, and each face has a sub triangular, almost D-shaped profile. The shank has a rectangular base, tapering to an apparently old break after 25 mm. Shank is 13 mm by 17 mm at the base, 10 mm by 13 mm at the break. The head is 44 mm wide, 48 mm long and 17 mm thick. The size of the head suggests the nail was not for use in domestic furniture. Possible door stud. A similar object is described in record HESH-5D2C4A. Weight is 123.8 g. Overall height 42 mm

DENO-508BE2: WEIGHT
A cast lead steelyard weight, probably of Roman date (AD 43 -410). In form, the weight is a truncated cone, although much dented and flattened on one side. From the upper surface two stubs of ferrous wire protrude, the remains of a suspension loop. The weight has a light cream patina. Diameter is 31.76 mm, height 41.5 mm, weight is 237.6 g

A complete cast lead spindle whorl dating from the medieval period (c. 1100-1500). The spindle whorl is bi-conical in shape, with a broad circumferential rim. There is a circular perforation (still filled with deposition residue) extending vertically through the centre, 9.2 mm diameter. All surfaces are worn, heavily patinated and dented, probably from chewing by grazing animals. Some decoration can be seen in the form of raised lines and pellets. Diameter 25.7 mm, thickness 14.9 mm, weight 50.6 g.

DENO-4F8A6A: RAPIER
A fragment of a copper alloy rapier or dagger blade of Bronze Age date. The fragment is rectangular in plan and eliptical to lozenge-shaped in cross-section, tapering out from a central rib. The edges are chipped and damaged but appear to have been straight. One end terminates in a diagonal break, the other in a straight break. There is green patina around the diagonal break, the rest of the object has a dark olive brown patina. Similar objects on this database, for example WILT-9D21F1, SUR-750511, WILT-90C8FE are dated to the Middle Bronze Age, circa 1500 - 1200 BC. The fragment is 42.4 mm long, 11.6 mm wide and 3.8 mm thick. Weight is 7.9 g.

DENO-4EF613: WEIGHT
A cast lead standing weight of medieval to post medieval date (c. 1200 - 1600). The object is a truncated cylinder with an integrally cast suspension lug having a drilled perforation. The lug rises centrally from the upper surface and is 13.2 mm wide, 7 mm thick and 14 mm high. The perforation is neatly drilled and 3.5 mm diameter. The object has a creamy patina with some shallow dents and scratches. On the base there is an off-centre scratched pattern of eight radiating lines forming an asterisk shape. Diameter 34.5 mm, overall height 29.6 mm, weight 158.4 g.

DENO-4DD626: BELL
A complete copper alloy crotal bell of a single cast form of Post-Medieval date (c. 1650-1700). The object comprises two hemispheres divided by a raised circumferential rib. There are two holes, one larger, one on either side of the integrally cast rectangular suspension loop. The suspension hole is off-centre and appears cast rather than drilled. The lower hemisphere Has two sound holes connected by a slit. The pea is in situ. The upper hemisphere appears undecorated, the lower is patinated and corroded but there are patches of decoration and the initials A G . This could refer to Andrew Gurney, of the Hull foundry, active in the late 17th century (source: Diameter 27.26 mm, height 33.71 mm, thickness 3.14 mm, weight 19.3 g.

DENO-4D4999: WEIGHT
A lead alloy object, possibly a steelyard weight or a stud. The object is an oblate sphere (with flattened ends) and has an iron protrusion from the centre of one surface. In form it closely resembles a steelyard weight of Roman date, assuming the iron protrusion to be the remains of a suspension loop. However it is considerably smaller than most examples on this database (the weight is 16.4 g; most examples of Roman steelyard weights are over 100 g). It is possible it was for weighing spices or other commodities sold in smaller weights, or it could be a completely different object such as a stud or toggle. Diameter 18.26 mm, height including protrusion 14.5 mm.

DENO-4C9AE5: POWDER FLASK
An incomplete copper alloy powder flask of post medieval date (c 1750 - 1860). The object is piriform (pear-shaped), pressed from a sheet of copper alloy. It has a rounded base and a broad (54 mm) flat neck. The lower part has a pressed decoration in the form of a dog holding a game bird. There is a single rivet on the neck, centrally placed 6 mm below the edge. Around the base the edges are bent towards the rear, around the neck they are not. It is possible this object was a cover, attached to a leather flask, however there are examples on this database of flasks formed from two near identical pressed copper alloy halves that fit together (for example, DENO-9E7A84, NARC-CAF0CF) and it could be this object is one half of such a flask. Record NCL-C9205B shows a similar, albeit undecorated, object with a rivet hole in the same position. Length is 149 mm, width at base is 80.3 mm. Thickness is 1 mm. Weight 50.2 g

DENO-806AA9: TOKEN
A lead alloy uniface token of medieval to post medieval date (c 1400 - 1650). The design is eight radiating spokes, possibly representing a cartwheel or a mill wheel (Powel type 14b). The design seems quite crudely made, the lines are incised rather than raised. Diameter is 13.6 mm, thickness 2.6, weight 4.2 g

DENO-80130D: COIN
A copper alloy Roman sestertius of Lucilla (AD 164-169), dating to the period AD 164-169 (Reece Period 8).

VICTORIAE DD AVGGQ NN reverse type, depicting two Victories standing facing each other, each holding a wreath. Probably mint of Arles. RIC VIII, p. 208, nos 72-5. Diameter 113.6 mm, thickness 0.8 mm, weight 0.8 g.

DENO-7F7DD1: COIN
A copper alloy Roman radiate or nummus of an uncertain ruler, dating to the period AD 260 - 402. Uncertain reverse type, unclear mint. Diameter 12.7 mm, thickness 0.9 mm, weight 0.8 g.

DENO-7F2A8B: TOKEN
A copper alloy post medieval trade token dated 1670. The obverse depicts a pair of scales. The inscription begins with a star, then EDWARD ALDRIDGE OF The reverse has initials the E A, with pellet - rowel - pellet pattern above and below. The inscription reads BISL[EY CHA]NDLER. 1670. The token is corroded and has some circumferential chipping. There is what appears to be a fold line across the diameter, along which a crack is developing. Diameter 18.3 mm, thickness 0.6 mm, weight 0.4 g

DENO-7D8D76: COIN
A damaged and incomplete early medieval silver sceat dating to c AD 700 -765. Series E, Frankener variety F. Obverse: Quilled 'dolphin-shaped' crescent with pellet on body and pellet outline enclosing three bars. Reverse shows beaded standard with central anulet, opposing right angles and saltire. Possible pseudo-lettering around standard. There is damage to the coin, approximately one quarter of the circumference is chipped and material missing from the flan. Part of the standard is thus missing, the corner opposite the saltire. See Abramson (2012, p. 91-2). Diameter 12.7 mm, thickness 1.4 mm, weight 0.9 g

DENO-7C814E: COIN
A copper alloy royal farthing token of James I (1603 - 1625). Type 3 Lennox Rounds (North 2134) minted in London, 1613 - 1625. Diameter 15.4 mm, thickness 0.6 mm, weight 0.4 g.

DENO-7C282A: TOKEN
A lead alloy token of medieval to post medieval date (c. 1400 - 1650). The token is cast, showing a long cross with a single pellet in each quarter (Powell type 14). There are traces of a circumferential rim, most is missing probably due to a casting fault. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The cross and pellet motif may be influenced by medieval hammered pennies, or by Tudor base silver coins. The flan is sub-circular, long diameter is 16.2 mm, thickness is 3.2 mm. Weight 4.8 g.

DENO-ED7C9D: COIN
A copper alloy Roman sestertius of Commodus (AD 175-192), dating to the period AD 187-188 (Reece Period 9). FOR RED P M TR P XIII IMP VIII COS V P P S C reverse type depicting Fortuna seated left, holding rudder on globe and cornucopiae. Mint of Rome. RIC III, p. 425, no. 513. Diameter 29.5, Weight 15.7

DENO-ED116A: COIN
A post-medieval copper alloy coin; from size and weight probably a George III 'Cartwheel' penny of 1797, Both surfaces are corroded and no details can be seen. A series of notches have been made into the edge of the coin, probably with a file. These vary in size and in position round the flan. The largest is 4.5 mm square, the next, 11 mm round the edge is 2.4 mm square, and third, 10.5 mm from this, is slightly smaller at 2.2 mm square. 13 mm from this is a shallow nick on the edge of the coin, possibly a shallow notch that has become worn, or an aborted atempt at creating a notch. On the opposite side of the flan to this grouping is another notch, more V shaped, 3mm narrowing to 2.4 mm, 4.3 mm deep. The varied sizes of notches suggest this object may have been fashioned as a tool of some kind, perhaps a gauge for wire or coins. However, notched edge coins at this period were sometimes exchanged as love tokens. An example is found in the Maidstone museum Love token collection (https://lovetokens.omeka.net/items/show/191) and it is possible this is an uncompleted attempt to fashion such a token. Diameter 36 mm, thickness 3.4 mm, weight 23.8 g

DENO-EC80AC: TOKEN
A post-medieval copper alloy 'poor ha'penny' token of the Borough of Grantham, dated 1667. The obverse reads 'BY Ye OVERSEERS OF Ye POORE' in the outer ring with 'GRAN/THAM / 1667' in the inner circle. The reverse has a chequered shield - the arms of the Borough of Grantham, in the centre, with 'A HALF PENNY TO BE EXCHAING' in the outer ring. Diameter 18.9 mm, thichness 0.7 mm, weight 1.2 g

DENO-EC1C3B: COIN
A silver Roman denarius of Julia Mamaea (AD 180 - 235) dating to AD 222 (Reece Period 11). IVNO CONSERVATRIX reverse type depicting Juno, diademed and veiled, standing left, holding patera and sceptre, peacock at her feet left. Mint of Rome. RIC IV.2, p. 98, no. 343. Diameter 18.7 mm, thickness 1.4 mm, weight 2.2 g

DENO-EB88DD: GAMING PIECE
A copper alloy game token of post-medieval date (1788 - 1850). It mimics the 'Spade' half-guinea of George III and is dated 1788. However, such tokens were produced in large numbers in the 19th Century as game pieces and as demonstration / advertising tokens by various manufacturers, especially in Birmingham. The obverse is very corroded, showing a laureate bust right. The reverse is also corroded and worn, showing the Shield of Arms of England, Scotland, Ireland and Hanover (the 'spade' shaped shield gave the original coins and these copies their name) over the date 1788. Only a few letters of the inscription are legible, but it was probably 'In Memory of the Good Old Days' Diameter 21.5 mm, thickness 0.6 mm, weight 1.6 g

DENO-EAD30A: COIN
A copper alloy Roman nummus of Constantine I (AD 306 - 337) dating to AD 327 (Reece Period 16). PROVIDENTIAE AVGG reverse type, depicting a camp gateway with two towers and a star above. Mint of Arles. RIC VII, p. 267, no. 309. Diameter 18.7 mm, thickness 1.8 mm. Weight 3.3 g

DENO-C62AA5: SEAL MATRIX
A lead alloy seal matrix of medieval date. A vesica-shaped or lentoid seal with a low rib running down the back, terminating in a sub-rectangular lug. The seal matrix has suffered recent damage int he plough soil: a gash in the back of the matrix has pushed the soft metal outward on the face and exposed the inner unpatinated lead. One half of the face of the seal, opposite the damage, is completely blank, apparently due to abrasion. The other half shows an inscription and border, but due to the damage only a few letters are visible "+ SI[...] WIL[...]", There is a motif or symbol in the centre field but this also is obscured; it could be a spike of wheat or a fleur de lis. The object may not have been finished because the lug is unpierced. Length is 33 mm, Width 18.6, Thickness 3.3 mm Weight 13.1 g

DENO-C57BF7: AMPULLA
A lead alloy ampulla of medieval date (c. AD 1250 -1550). The object is tongue-shaped. There are two suspension lugs which appear to be unpierced. The end of the lead 'bag' is open, possibly cut open below the crimping that would have sealed in the thaumaturgic liquid. It is also possible that this ampulla is unused, because, in addition to the unpierced lugs, there appears to be untrimmed casting flash around some edges. One face is decorated with a cross pattée in raised outline. The other side is decorated with radiating lines and hatching surmounted by a row of inverted triangles. This may represent an Archiepiscopal mantle, which is suggestive of the shrine of Thomas Becket. Length 55.6 mm, Width 37.5 mm, Thickness 4.2 mm Weight 50.9

DENO-C1081D: COIN WEIGHT
A copper alloy uniface coin weight of late medieval date (AD 1350 -1550). The obverse shows a fleur-de-lis in a pelleted border. There is no legend, suggesting the weight is English, used for the Florin (See Withers, 1995, p 33). The disc is slightly eliptical with diameter varying from 14.2 mm to 16 mm. The lis is struck slightly off centre. Thickness is 2 mm. Weight is 3.1 g

DENO-C0CB4D: COIN
A copper alloy Roman radiate or nummus of an uncertain ruler, dating to the period (AD 260-402). Uncertain reverse type. unclear mint. 16.9 mm in diameter, 1.9 mm thick. Weight 2.2 g

DENO-327AC3: VESSEL
A fragment of post-medieval ceramic, probably midlands yellow ware, (circa 1600 - 1800). The fragment comprises a peak or spike which could be interpreted as part of a foot or as a lug or handle. Assuming it is a foot, the fragment forms part of some concave dish or bowl. The fabric is a dark grey with some lighter inclusions. The concave upper, or inner surface, has a thick yellow glaze. The convex lower surface and the stump of the 'foot' has an abraded brown glaze. Overall width 36 mm, length 58 mm. Height 41 mm, thickness 7.5 mm. Weight 56 g.

DENO-32139A: VESSEL
An assemblage of five sherds from coarse ware vessels of late medieval date (circa 1300 - 1550), comprising;- A base sherd. Fabric is reduced grey to pale pink with coarse sandy inclusions and voids, some large (4 mm). Surfaces appear to have a grey slip, abraded. Wall is 8.1 mm thick, base is 10.7 mm thick. A rim sherd. Fabric redish pink, numerous pale angular inclusions, some voids. Broad rim (20 mm). Wall is 8 mm thick. Inner surface has red-brown slip. Outer surface is darker brown with a much abraded brown glaze. A rim sherd with a very broad, upturned rim (21 mm wide, 7 mm high). Purple - red fabric with pale, angular inclusions. Probably from a large jar. Two body sherds. One has a distinct curvature in profile, suggesting it came from the neck of a vessel. Fabric is reddish pink with sandy inclusions. Outer surface has a brown slip and patch of dark brown glaze. Thickness is 7.5 mm. The other sherd has a similar fabric but is flat and unglazed. 7 mm thick.

DENO-3167AC: VESSEL
Four ceramic sherds of late medieval to post medieval date (circa AD 1300 - 1600). The sherds are from a Cistercian ware vessel, probably a cup or small tyg. One sherd is a base sherd. The wall is 5.4 mm thick, the base 3.9 mm thick. The curvature of the surviving part of the base suggests a diameter (for the base) of 50 mm. The remaining sherds are body sherds, thickness ranges from 2.5 mm to 1.3 mm. Fabric is uniform, fine and hard, and purple-grey in colour. Inner and outer surfaces have lusterous black glaze. The bottom of the base is unglased apart from some apparently accidental splashes.

DENO-9D3B16: CORE
Probable Palaeolithic (Lower) to Neolithic (Later) core. A piece of banded chert showing evidence of removals in multiple directions. Overall length 40.4 mm, width 31.5 mm, thickness 22 mm, weight 25.1 g

DENO-9CF706: TEGULA
A fragment of roof tile of Roman date (AD 43 - 410). It is probably part of a tegula, it is roughly triangular in plan with a flat base. Two edges are irregular, old breaks, one is straight and has part of the side wall that would have slotted with the covering imbrex; 13.5 mm thick and projecting 9.2 mm from the tile surface. There is a perforation, tear shaped on the upper surface, narrowing to become circular (5.4 mm diameter) at the bottom. This would probably have accommodated a retaining nail. The fabric is uniform reddish orange with sandy inclusions and some sparse larger, darker inclusions and voids. There are traces of mortar on the lower surface and outer edge. Overall length 58.7 mm, width 60 mm, thickness 15.6 mm. Weight 65 g

DENO-9B57BA: COIN
A copper-alloy Roman radiate of Claudius II (AD 268-270), dating to the period AD 268-270 (Reece Period 13). LIBERALITAS AVG Reverse type depicting Liberalitas standing left holding tessera and cornucopia. Mint of Rome. As Normanby no. 599.

DENO-9A030B: COIN
A copper-alloy Roman nummus of Constantine I (AD 306 - 337), dating to the period AD 307 - 318 (Reece Period 15). SOLI INVICTO COMITI reverse type depicting Sol standing left holding a globe. Unclear mint.

DENO-0B1892: BROOCH
A copper alloy brooch of late Iron Age to early Roman date (c. AD 45-75). The object is a Colchester type one piece brooch, missing part of the catch-plate but otherwise complete. The arching bow has a D-shape cross-section, and tapers from the head to the foot to terminate in a point. There is a triangular catchplate decorated by three pierced circular holes, 2-3 mm in diameter. The outer edge of the catchplate, where it would have curled round to retain the pin, is missing. The centre of the bow is flattened and decorated with small triangular cells which may have been inlaid with enamel. Wings project from either side of the head of the bow. The bow then splits in two parts, the first forming the spring and the pin, and the second forming a hook to hold the spring in place. The brooch has a light, patchy patina, in places the brassy colour of the alloy shows through. A similar form is shown in Mackreth (2011, Vol 2. Pl. 23, nos. 92 & 13138). This is a Mackreth Colchester type 4b brooch with a type c catchplate, dating to circa AD 45-75. Overall length 109.6 mm, width 25.7 mm, thickness 3.7 mm. Weight 22.6 g

DENO-0A4B34: VESSEL
A collection of seven ceramic sherds of Roman date (AD 50 - 250). The sherds all have an orange-brown, smooth fabric and a smooth, glossy red-brown slip, typical of Samian ware. Two are rim sherds. One is from a shallow bowl or cup, possibly a Dragendorff 18 type, the other is from a similar vessel with a less defined outer lip and a groove running around the inner surface 6 mm below the rim. Two are base or foot sherds from an undiagnosed vessel. The remaining three are body sherds, two displaying decoration. Of these, one has what appears to be garlands and ropework , much abraded. The other shows a band of arches with palm trees between. The remaining body sherd is an undecorated fragment. Typical thickness is 6.3 mm, overall weight 31.3 g

DENO-099874: TILE
A large fragment of ceramic tile dating to the Roman period, c. AD 43 - 410. The fragment is from a box flue, part of a hypercaust. One surface has combed keying for mortar; the pattern shows a seven-toothed comb 37 mm wide has been dragged in two parallel lines 56 mm apart, with a zig-zag created by the same comb between them. Some small fragments of mortar remain in the grooves. The surface curves sharply down at one edge to form a side wall 27.5 mm thick and projecting 23 mm from the tile. All other edges are old abraided breaks. The fabric is reddish orange, uniform throughout and smooth with a few small inclusions. The inner surface is less smooth than the outer, having a pitted, sandy texture. Overall length 168 mm, width 147.4 mm, thickness 24 mm. Weight 808 g.

DENO-09014F: TEGULA
A fragment of Roman ceramic roof tile. The fabric appears uniform orange throughout and has numerous sandy and larger angular inclusions, some > 2 mm, also voids ranging from pin-head size to 3 mm. The fragment is irregular in shape, each edge being an old and abraded break. On one surface is a series of ovoid depressions which could be an animal paw print, but may be also be interpreted as finger tip impressions, two parallel rows of three, one fainter and shallower than the other. Finger tip marks have been noted as tally marks or makers marks throughout the Roman world (See McWhirr 1984 p 99). Triple finger-tip marks have been recorded on a roof-ridge tile at Newport Roman Villa, Isle of Wight (Tomalin 1987: 99, 100, 106). Compare with record IOW-F7A523 on this database. Overall length 101.7 mm, width 67 mm, thickness 16.9 mm. Weight 122.8 g

DENO-074188: PERFORATED OBJECT
A perforated stone implement of Mesolithic to Neolithic date (c 8000 - 2000 BC), possibly a mace head or axe-hammer. It is of a mid-brown, fine grained stone. It is possible the object was fashioned from a water worn pebble or cobble, but it has been extensively worked by pecking and grinding; The object has a trapezoidal plan with one end worked into a blunt axe-like blade, 59.4 mm wide now extensively chipped, the other end is narrower, 44.9 mm, damaged but apparently squarer and blunter. In profile the object is an asymetrical oval, with one surface noticably flatter than the other. Both surfaces have deep gouges and are chipped in several places. The perforation is hour-glass shaped, apparently worked from both sides, narrowing from 20.5 mm at the surface to 12.7 mm at its narrowest. The perforation is off-centre, being 40 mm from the blade end and 61 mm from the butt. This is an odd placement that would have have made the object unwieldy if hafted. The function of these objects is not fully understood; their use as mace-heads has been questioned, it has been suggested they were ritual or status objects, or possible weights or digging sticks. The overall form of the object most closely fits Ovoid type C in Roe's taxonomy (Roe F E, 1979 Typology of stone impliments with shaftholes, CBA) Overall length 105 mm, width 59.4, thickness 23.8 mm. Weight 216.3 g

A silver short cross penny of John (1199 - 1216). Class Vc (North 971), minted by Pieres at Durham, c. 1207 - 1210. Diameter 17.9 mm, thickness 0.8 mm. Weight 1.2 g

DENO-766DB8: BROOCH
A copper alloy annular brooch of medieval to post-medieval date (c. 1450 - 1700). The brooch is slightly convex, the inner rim is raised and the surface decorated with moulding, what appears to spatulate leaves around flowers or fruit. The outer edge is chipped and abraded. There is a hole 1.3 mm diameter with some corrosion around and in it, this would probably have housed a wire pin. The back of the brooch appears undecorated. The brooch is very similar to a brooch from the Thames (LON-8492D2). The brooch has an overall diameter of 25.5 mm, the inner aperture is 12.4 mm diameter. The brooch is 1.5 mm thick and weighs 3.3 g.

DENO-E28EF7: TILE
A fragment of tile, of probably Roman date. One surface, although much abraded, shows combed grooves suggestive of Roman flue tiles. The fabric is pale pink to buff, with some voids. The other surface has long grooves probably created by running finger tips along the still-wet material. McWhirr (1984 p 99), suggests that such finger marks may be deliberately created tally marks or makers sigil. The fragment is triangular in shape with one straight and two irregular edges. Overall length 60 mm, width 61.4 mm, thickness 15.4 mm, weight 64.1 g

DENO-E1FD7D: VESSEL
A fragment from the handle of a large vessel, probably an amphora, of Roman date (AD c. 43 - c. 200). The handle has been formed by the pressing together of two long cylinders of clay, to form a thick handle with a deep groove on either side. One side is slightly flattened, creating a B shaped cross-section. There is only a very slight longditudinal curvature to the fragment, suggesting it came from a long-handled form. Both ends terminate in irregular breaks, There is a slight inward curve at one end, but with no clear indication of the angle of attachment. The fabric is orange-pink throughout, with abundant angular inculsions of quartz and micas, some feldspar and darker grains up to 3mm. Overall length 95 mm, width 54.5 mm, thickness 28.6 mm. Weight 18.8 g

DENO-E079BF: TOY
A cast lead alloy cylinder, possibly the chamber from a toy revolver, of post-medieval to modern date. The cylinder has six circular chambers 4.5 mm diameter, arranged around a central hole of the same diameter. These chambers are 15 mm deep, then close to a 1 mm diameter. On the opposing end of the cylinder, these small 1 mm holes emerge into countersunk depressions 5mm diameter. The central hole is only 5mm deep, and would presumably have housed the axel around which the cylinder would rotate. On the centre of the opposing face of the cylinder is an integrally cast six armed cog. This probably represents the ratchet mechanism that would rotate the chamber when the triger was pulled; it is not clear if this is decorative detail or functional, as it does not stand proud of the face by more than 0.5 mm. The form of the object mirrors that of a real firearm; the shallow depresions would have taken a percussion cap or priming charge, the deeper chambers would have housed the main charge and the ball. The fact that the cap/primer is connected to the main chamber by a hole suggests that the machanism was intended to actually fire, possibly just a percussion cap, with the exhaust gasses escaping via the hole. The material, lead alloy, is not suitable for the use of a substantial charge. There is no residue or set up marking to show if the object was ever used. Diameter is 25 mm, length 19.8 mm, weight 42.8 g

DENO-DF742C: VESSEL
A fragment (foot) of a leg of a cast copper alloy vessel of Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1400 - AD 1750). The leg has a triangular section, expanding into a flat sub-triangular foot set at an angle. One corner of this triangular foot is missing, due to what appears to be an old break. The opposing end of the leg terminates in a break, probably post depositional. All surfaces including the breaks have a green pattina. The foot is probably from a tripod vessel such as a postnet, skillet or cauldron. Width at foot 33.3 mm, 19.2 mm at leg. Height 31.5 mm, weight 62.6 g

DENO-501A75: CANDLE SNUFFER
An incomplete copper alloy candle snuffer of late post-medieval to modern date (c 1850 -1950 AD) The object is in the form of a bell with a wide flared rim. This rim is broken in several places with pieces missing. The object seems to have been machine finished: decoration is in the form of concentric, lathe-formed circumferential grooves and lines. There is a sub-rectangular suspension knop with a circular drilled hole. Height is 25 mm, extant width 32 mm. Thickness at rim 2 mm. Weight 16 g

DENO-4F2684: THIMBLE
A cast lead probable palm guard or pad, of post-medieval date (c 1600 - 1900 AD). The object is a disc with a 6 mm wide flattened circumference. One surface is slightly domed with an outer bevel which slopes towards the circumference, the other has a shallow central depression or dimple approximately 15 mm in diameter. Both surfaces have dents and scratches, but the dimpled side in particular has deep scratches and gouges consistent with the object's use by leather-workers to provide protection when forcing needles through tough materials. Bailey (1994, p 64) suggests the dimple would match a hole in the leather or cloth in which the guard was wrapped. Such guards were in use from the 17th century and continued up to the early 20th century. This object appears well cast which may suggest a later date.

DENO-4E8E76: TOKEN
A copper alloy post-medieval trade token. The token is in the form of a copper alloy disc, 28 mm in diameter, stamped on one face with the letters JOSEPH / BROWN / BOLSOVER / 1786. The reverse has some scratches and the letters JOSE. The letters seem to have been stamped individually; they are imperfectly aligned. As the disc is corroded and abraded, it is not possible to determine if this is a pre-existing coin which has been over-stamped. However, the diameter, thickness and weight are similar to a half penny of George II. Diameter 28 mm, thickness 1.3 mm, weight 6.4 g

DENO-4E0E42: MEDAL
A copper alloy post-medieval commemorative medal of Frederick the Great, struck around 1758 in celebration of Frederick's victory in the battle of Krefeld (see notes). Probably struck in Great Britain by John Kirk. Obverse shows laureate military three-quarter figure to left (Frederick). Lettering around, toothed border: FREDERICK KING OF PRUSSIA Reverse shows military three-quarter figure to right (Ferdinand, Prince of Brunswick). Lettering around, toothed border: FERDINANDUS PRINCEPS (Ferdinand was Field-Marshall at Krefeld). Diameter 22 mm, thickness 1 mm. Weight 2.3 g.

DENO-4C5FA8: FINGER RING
A finger ring formed from silver wire, probably of post-medieval or modern date. The ring appears to be formed from a single wire looping twice to forma double hoop. The ends of the wire meet, twist and spiral outwards to form the bezel and then wrap around the hoop at either end of the bezel. The ring, particularly the bezel, bears a similarity to early medieval finger rings such as that described in record KENT-C90BE3 on this database, or the item described as 'Viking' in "The Searcher" June 2018 No 394 p 17. However, wire rings with two or more hoops tend to be modern (compare YORYM-71CDE2, SWYOR-0B8449, LANCUM-55C5F6 and DENO-470362). The wire has a square cross-section, which is suggestive of machine manufacture and also implies a modern date. Therefore this finger ring does not constitute Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. The ring has a diameter of 14.8 mm, the bezel is 10 mm across. The wire from which the hoops are formed is 9.4 mm thick. The object weighs 0.8 g.

DENO-BB3599: VESSEL
A lead fragment, possibly from the tip of a leg of a small cast vessel, possibly a posnet or skillet, of probable post-medieval date. The object is abraded, but seems to be formed from two conjoined ribs, giving an overall D-shape section, there is no well defined foot, the object tapers to a simple blunt point. The surface texture would indicate sand casting. Butler and Green (2003) suggest that this simple form became common in sand cast 18th and 19th century skillets. Length 19 mm, width 18.1 tapering to 11.2 mm Weight 10.4 g

DENO-BA85CB: BOOK FITTING
An incomplete copper alloy book clasp of Howsam type A.1.3 and of medieval date (c. 1350 - c. 1450). The object is formed of a flat semi-elliptical plate with a central circular rivet hole. The strap fitting element of the clasp is missing. From comparison to similar objects (e.g. ESS-7B2A4D, DENO-0D92E8, DENO-D04BE4) this would probably have been a strap bar held in two loops. The terminal is also missing, only a small segment remains, extending 2.5 mm from the plate and showing evidence of a drilled hole. The surface of the plate has 14 incised dots, more or less equally spaced around the periphery. These do not penetrate the full thickness of the plate. The reverse surface is flat and undecorated. Overall length 21 mm, width 18.3 mm, thickness 2.4 mm. Weight 4.8 g

DENO-B9F2F9: PENDANT
An incomplete copper alloy Roman military horse harness pendant. Roughly heart-shaped body, one 'lobe' of the heart is missing, the remaining lobe is much abraided and has a chipped edge. In the centre of the upper edge there is an integrally cast circular suspension loop, broken, cast at 90 degrees to the body. At the foot is a spoon-shaped projection attached to a corroded hinge on the reverse of the body. This projection has a convex terminal. There is an incised linear groove 5mm wide running up the centre of the body, 12 mm from its foot is a convex, tear shaped rivet which mirrors the shape of the terminal. No exact parallel has been found on this database, but heart-shaped harness pendants are described by Appels and Laycock (2007, p 121) and dated to the 2nd to 3rd Century AD Overall length 50 mm, width 24.5 mm, thickness 1.9 mm, weight 9.8 g

DENO-6D7DF2: STOPPER
A cast lead stopper, possibly from a pot or jug. In form, the object is a truncated cone, undecorated, with an overall smooth creamy white patina. A transverse hole 4.5 mm diameter runs through the object roughly halfway up its side. Possibly this was to accommodate a thread or handle to facilitate its removal. Diameter 19.2 mm, tapering to 6.3, height is 17.1 mm.

DENO-6CD917: WEIGHT
A possible medieval lead weight. The object is cylindrical in section with an overall creamy white patina, some scratches and inclusions. One face is slightly concave, with traces of an inturned rim, which may indicate the process of flattening by hammering. Diameter is 22.4 mm, thickness 6.7 mm, weight 27.5 g (This weight is close to one Roman Unica)

DENO-6C403C: PIPE (SMOKING)
A fragment of a the stem of a clay smoking pipe. The stem is cream coloured, smooth and undecorated, made from fine clay with no obvious inclusions. There is no makers stamp or mould line. It has a very slight curvature along its length and one end has a slighly eliptical section whereas the other is circular. Probably 18th - 19th century. (Source: http://www.pipearchive.co.uk/howto/date.html) Length 44.8 mm, diameter 6.3 mm. Weight 2 g.

DENO-6BF929: HARNESS MOUNT
A cast lead alloy decorative mount, probably for a horse harness fitting of post medieval date (c. 1600 - c. 1800). The mount is circular in plan, convex with a flat, undecorated circular raised central boss 21.2 mm diameter, surrounded by a moulded rim with foliate decoration. The reverse face is concave and undecorated, with the corroded stubs of two attachment tabs. Overall diameter is 44.3 mm, thickness 4.5 mm. Weight 34.9 g

DENO-6BA466: BIRD FEEDER
A complete but squashed and distorted cast lead bird feeder probably of medieval to post medieval date (late 15th - 17th century). The object has a circular base 22 mm diameter, which flares out to a wide mouth with overturned rim. The mouth has a D-shaped, almost triangular shape, persumably as a result of damage, although Egan (2005, p 129) illustrates bird feeding troughs with a D-shape section. The object is undecorated. These objects were used to hold water or food for caged birds. Egan notes that undecorated versions persisted until at least the late 17th century. Height 32 mm, width at mouth 44 mm. Thickness 5 mm. Weight 74.3 g

DENO-6B3D4E: TOKEN
A cast lead uniface token of medieval to post medieval date (c. 1400 - c. 1650). The decorated face has a raised circumferential rim and shows an eight-armed gross (possible wheel spokes or mill) with a pellet in each of the resulting segments (Powell type 14b). Similar designs are illustrated in Fletcher (Leaden Tokens and Tallies, 2005. p. 40). Diameter 24 mm, thickness 2.3 mm, weight 8.5 g

DENO-69D7E0: TOKEN
A cast lead uniface token of medieval to post medieval date (c. 1400 - c. 1650). The decorated face has a raised circumferential rim and shows a cross with cresents over the arms (Powell type 14). Similar designs are illustrated in Fletcher (Leaden Tokens and Tallies, 2005. p. 40). Diameter 19.3 mm, thickness 2.4 mm, weight 5 g

DENO-696B32: CHAIN
A copper alloy surveyor's chain link, or Gunters link, used to indicate an interval on a land surveyor's measuring chain. It has four broadly triangular teeth and a hole 7 mm diameter drilled through the plate for attachment. The plate is bent, probably post-deposition, and has a green patina. Surveying chains were used to measure parcels of land; this object may be linked to enclosure. Suggested date 1750 - 1850. Length 39 mm, width 40 mm, thickness 1.8 mm. Weight 7.6 g

DENO-69144C: MOUNT
A cast lead alloy horse harness mount probably of post medieval date (AD 1600 - 1850). The object is circular. The rim is decorated with moulded arches containing half-flower heads (four petals around a semi-circular centre). Approximately 40 percent of this rim is missing. One section of two arches and a smaller fragment are separate. The centre is raised and undecorated. There is a raised bulb in the centre and adjacent to this is what appears to be a copper alloy split pin, which pierces the object and splays out on the reverse. The off-centre piercing suggests this may represent a replacement of the original attachment. A similar item, LIN-F98D02, has been recorded on the database. Diameter is 58.5 mm, overall thickness 5.3 mm, weight 57.6 g

DENO-68C56A: TOKEN
A cast lead alloy token of medieval to post medieval date (AD c. 1400 - c. 1600). Decorated with a raised cross with one large pellet in each quarter (Powel type 14b). The token is damaged and corroded, with part of the circumference missing, but appears to be uniface. Fletcher (Leaden Tokens and Tallies, 2005. p45) suggests tokens of this design were influenced by Tudor base silver farthings rather than earlier hammered silver pennies. Diameter is 21.5 mm, thickness 6.0 mm Weight is 7 g.

DENO-D95502: TOKEN
A cast lead alloy possible uniface token of medieval to post medieval date. The decorated face has three concentric raised rims enclosing a pattern of six wedge shaped spokes radiating from a central boss, It is possible these represent the sails of a mill (Powell type 22) There is a well formed circular perforation through the rim, suggesting re-use as a pendant or attachment. Diameter is 36.1mm, thickness 2 mm, weight 16.4 g

DENO-D901CE: COIN WEIGHT
A cast copper alloy post-medieval coin weight. It is roughly square in plan (18.4 mm x 19.2 mm) with slightly bevelled edges. It is 5 mm thick and weighs 10.4 g. The surface is corroded, but three letters are partly visible: an X and an I, with an S above or below. The size and weight suggest it could be for a Low Countries coin, possibly a double Albertijn (struck in Southern Netherlands 1598 -1621).

DENO-D8449A: TOKEN
A uniface cast lead alloy token probably of medieval or possibly post-medieval date. The decorated face has a raised circumferential line, enclosing a pattern of six equilateral triangles, each with a pellet at their centre. There is a circular perforation, well formed, at the centre, 4 mm diameter. The perforation has a rim with an identical patina to the rest of the raised decoration, which may suggest it is part of the original design rather than a later addition. It is possible the object was intended for use as a button or decoration rather than a token. There are several cracks extending from the central perforation. Diameter is 36.8 mm, thickness 1.8 mm, weight 9.6 g.

DENO-D7A138: TOKEN
A uniface cast lead alloy agricultural token of probable post medieval date (c. 1600 - c. 1800). The raised design shows a three sailed mill (Powell type 22) with three triangularly arranged pellets between each sail. The reverse face is blank and flat. Diameter is 21.4 mm, thickness 1.4 mm. Weight 3.1 g. The coin is bent, the axis of the bend is off centre and is probably post-depositional damage rather than deliberate folding. Fletcher (2005) suggests tokens and tallies with motifs related to specific agricultural activities are probably a post-Tudor development. This object was found at the same findspot as DENO-D79797, which has a similar design.

DENO-D79797: TOKEN
A uniface cast lead alloy agricultural token of probable post medieval date (c. 1600 - c. 1800). The raised design shows a three sailed mill (Powell type 22) with three triangularly arranged pellets between each sail. The reverse face is blank and flat. Diameter is 21.4 mm, thickness 1.4 mm. Weight 3.1 g Fletcher (2005) suggests tokens and tallies with motifs related to specific agricultural activities are probably a post-Tudor development. This object was found in the same findspot as DENO-D7A138, which has a similar design.

DENO-D666D4: TOKEN
A uniface cast lead alloy token of medieval to post medieval date (c. 1400 - c. 1650). The decorated face shows a raised, open petal hexafoil with pellets between the petals (Baylis type 79, Petals and Pellets). There is a raised circumferential rim and the token has been pierced (hole is 3.9 mm) slightly off-centre. The piercing has caused a split running to the rim. The whole surface has a pale buff patina. Fletcher (2005) suggests that geometric patterns appear post 1400, but notes that the open-petal 'daisy wheel' design persists for many centuries, from 13th to 19th.

DENO-45CAB4: DRESS HOOK
An incomplete cast copper alloy post medieval dress hook. The hook and part of the plate are missing. The object consists of an openwork circular plate with a rectangular attachment loop; it fits into Read Class E, Type 3. There is an old break across the plate, leaving approximately fifty percent. The openwork is a foliate pattern around a central circle enclosing a possible bird or lis; this is broken across the bottom. Similar objects are described by Read (2008 pp 100-1, nos 380-3) and Egan (2005, p. 44). Egan (2005, p. 42) suggests that single dress hooks were thought to have been used in pairs on the ends of short chains or straps. Their function was probably joining subsidiary, decorative accessories together or onto a main garment, strap or the like. The tag probably dates from c.1550-c1625. The object is 16.3 mm long, 17.1 mm wide, 1.5 mm thick and weighs 1.5 g

DENO-4523FB: COIN
A silver post-medieval halfgroat of Elizabeth I (1558 - 1603). Woolpack initial mark, Third Issue (North 2016), minted at the Tower of London, 1594 - 1596.

DENO-44D14A: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A copper alloy object of uncertain date and function. Possibly a part of a handle of a cosmetic instrument. It is 55 mm long, 4.7mm wide and 2 mm thick at the mid point. It is rectangular in section but round at one end: it tapers slightly to a blunt point 2.5 mm diameter decorated with five incised circumferential grooves. The other end terminates in a break forming a notch. The surface shows linear striations and is a brassy colour - it is unclear if this is the result of cleaning.

An incomplete copper alloy hair pin of early medieval date (8th to 10th century AD). It has a polyhedral head (Rogers type 2) formed from a chamfered cuboid, dented and abraided. Each of the lozenge shaped faces is decorated with an incised ring and dot. It has a thin (1.4 mm) circular sectioned shaft with a small collar where it joins the head. The shaft terminates 11 mm below the collar in what appears to be an old break. The head is 10 mm long and 5.6 mm wide. The object weighs 1.6 g.

DENO-42E556: AMPHORA
A fragment of a Roman amphora comprising rim, neck, the upper part of a handle and some of the body wall. Possible Gauloise type; the handles are round in section, with no point on the arch. The rim is everted and bi-conical at the edge, flat on top. No groove beneath the rim. The fabric is pale buff with a salmon pink tint , with fine grained inclusions, some dark and angular, some micaceous. The body type is not clear from this fragment, making difficult the exact indentification of Gauloise type, the closest match to the rim and handle profile is type 14. (Archaeology Data Service: Roman Amphorae - a digital resource Gauloise types were produced in large numbers in southern France and common in the north-west provinces in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. Rim diameter is 186 mm. Rim is 47 mm wide, neck diameter 92 mm Body wall is 16 mm thick, handle diameter is 48 mm.

DENO-B247F4: VESSEL
A possible base sherd from a post-medieval pot. Fabric is a smooth, dark red-brown with a small number of pale inclusions. One surface has a lusterous dark brown glaze. The other surface is unglazed and has curved fine grooves that may be associated with wheel-throwing. Overall length 68 mm, width 54.4 mm, thickness 13 mm. Weight is 58.3 g

DENO-B1FA8A: TILE
A fragment of floor or roof tile, probably medieval in date AD c. 1350 - 1550. The fabric is a uniform pale orange-pink with many voids and inclusions ranging from <1 mm to 3 mm. There are small rounded white inclusions and larger, angular dark inclusions. One edge appears to be the original edge of the tile. The tile is 18.3 mm thick and appears undecorated and unglazed. The fragment is roughly triangular. Overall length is 82.9 mm, width 38.7 mm. Weight is 45.5 g

DENO-B19F99: VESSEL
A body sherd from a wheel -thrown vessel of probable medieval date, AD c. 1200 - 1400. Smooth, pale buff fabric. The exterior surface has a light yellow-brown glaze, the interior surface has a salmon pink slip. One edge appears to show a break along the neck line of the vessel and there is a stump of what was probably a lug or handle. From a rim chart, the appeture of the neck would appear to have been 6 - 8 cm. The form of the sherd suggests the vessel was a bulb or globe in shape. The sherd id roughly triangular with a length of 48.9 mm, width 40.9, thickness 6 mm. Weight is 22.3 g

DENO-B13971: VESSEL
A body sherd from a coarse ware pot or bowl of medieval to post medieval date. The outer surface is an unglazed dark grey to black with numerous small sandy inclusion. The inner fabric is a lighter grey and the interior surface has an abraided grey-green glaze. The surface shows fine parallel marks consistent with wheel throwing but the form is uneven with bumps and depressions suggesting hand modification or accidental handling before firing. There is a transverse ridge where the vessel wall thickens from 4.2 to 9.6 mm. The sherd is rectangular in shape, with a width of 34.8 mm and a length of 37.5 mm. Weight is 13.3 g

DENO-B0B7A7: VESSEL
A body sherd from a coarse ware vessel of medieval date AD 1100 - 1400. Pale buff fabric with orange tint, some large voids and angular flinty inclusions. Interior fabric a reduced grey with sandy inclusions. edges are abraided. Length 35.6 mm, width 18.1 mm Thickness 9.1 mm. Weight 5.6 g

DENO-AF8705: VESSEL
A wall and part base sherd from a thick walled wheel thrown vessel, probably of medieval date. The fabric is orange with some small voids and angular inclusions. The matrix exposed at the breaks shows a reduced grey interior. The interor surface has a brown slip coating and splashes of a light brown glaze near the base. There are fine grooves from the wheel throwing process. Overal width, 48.6 mm, length 53 mm, thickness 8 - 12 mm. Weight 46.4 g

DENO-AEAC14: VESSEL
A rim sherd from a large jar, wide-mouthed shelly ware pot or bowl dating to the medieval period, c. AD 1000 - 1200. Unglazed, soft, brown-grey fabric with numerous large shell inclusions. Inner fabric is a dark grey. The rounded rim has a broad, flat top 20 mm wide. Curvature suggests a radius of 21 - 22 cm. Overall length is 74 mm, thickness 14.3 mm Weight 26.8 g.

DENO-8AC724: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
A patinated flint implement, possibly a reworked natural flake or earlier debitage. Dr Kevin Leahy says: "the utilisation of natural flint was a practice characteristic of the Later Bronze Age and Iron Age". The surface shows a recorticated patina with what may be iron staining. Rough scaled retouching along the edge seems to cut this recortication, suggesting re-use. There is what may be a burin at the tip of the implement. Length 51.9 mm, width 16.7 mm, thickness 8.8 mm. Weight 8.4 g

DENO-8A29E5: AXEHEAD
An incomplete iron axe head, probably of post medieval or modern date. It has a wedge shaped section and in plan is broadly triangular, resembling Ward-Perkins type II. However the socket, which is missing the rear fifty percent, is eliptical rather than tubular, and the lower edge of the blade is straight rather than curved, suggesting a later than medieval date.The entire surface has a well formed iron corrosion patina. There are no visible makers marks or decoration. A casting line can be seen along the lower surface of the blade, which suggest a post-medieval date. Overall length 107 mm, width of cutting edge 84 mm, at socket 36.5 mm. Thickness at socket 24.2 mm. Weight 260.7 g

DENO-89B22E: WEIGHT
A perforated stone object of uncertain date, probably used as a weight. It is circular in plan, with flattened surfaces top and bottom. Edges appear bevelled but it is not clear if this is intentional or the result of wear and damage. The surface has been worked smooth but there are multiple chips and breaks. The surface lacks the very smooth or polished appearance of so-called 'battle axes' or 'maces'. The stone appears to be sedimentary, possibly a fossiliferous limestone. The perforation is 19 mm diameter and well formed, running as a smooth walled cylindrical tube through the object, but is slightly angled so it emerges somewhat off centre on one face. The object could be a thatch or rick weight, Overall diameter 78 mm, thickness 46 mm. Weight 398 g

DENO-88FC93: MOUNT
An incomplete copper alloy mount of late Saxon/Anglo-Scandinavian date (11th century). The object has a trefoil, possible fleur de lis, terminal, and a broadly ovoid convex plate (concave on the reverse) 25 mm long by 13 mm wide, with three openwork piercings. There appears to be some decorative moulding but the surface is corroded. Extending from this ovoid section is a flattened, broader section forming what appears to be an oval frame with spured shoulders around a flat central knop. The arms of the frame terminate in old breaks. The frame has some decoration in the form of curved grooves. The mount may be zoomorphic. Overall length is 48.5 mm, width 17 mm, thickness 8 mm. Object weighs 12.12 g. The object fits into a group of zoomorphic, hollow-backed mounts which mainly come from the Midlands and Yorkshire. cf. LIN-EF4B51, WMID-C6E687, NCL-CD4F50, SWYOR-DD74CC, WMID-19ED1E and LIN-134BEA. Also cf. Griffiths, Philpott and Egan 2007, p. 119, pl. 20, no. 1128.

DENO-870BBF: PURSE
An incomplete copper alloy late medieval to post-medieval purse frame (c. 1475-c. 1525). Ward-Perkins type B2, with spherical central boss and terminals. One arm is missing, only a short circular stump remains. The other arm extends 6 mm and joins a spherical terminal knob 11 mm in diameter. This arm has two frame loops in situ, both 7.5 mm in diameter, both have stubs of their frame terminating in old breaks < 5 mm from the loop. The spherical cental boss is 24 mm diameter, slightly flattened at top and bottom, with a circular perforation 6.7 mm diameter running through, housing a shank 3.3 mm diameter. The bottom of the shank has a spherical terminal knob matching that of the arm; the top has a similar knob which sits below a collar which extends into the suspension loop. The upper part of the shank has been bent. The suspension loop is a narrow oval, almost sub-rectangular. 18 mm high and 9.5 mm wide. Overal length is 63 mm, width 40 mm. Weight 52.8 g A similar purse bar (with spherical side terminals) is illustrated in Ward Perkins 1940, 167-168, fig. 52, ref: B2. Ward Perkins dates this type of purse bar to the late 15th- or early 16th century. Similar objects are described on this database, cf IOW-DA3FF5, IOW-DD54A3. It is worth noting that this object, retaining two loops on the bar arm, suggests that despite the short arms, this type of purse bar could have supported a double framed purse.

DENO-F738C5: JETTON
A post medieval 16th/17th century copper alloy jetton of the Nuremburg 'Rose Orb' type. The jetton is corroded and the edges chipped. The obverse shows alternating crowns and lis with central rose. The reverse shows the Imperial Orb within a tressure of three arches. The legend is indistinct.

DENO-F7061B: COIN
A silver post-medieval coin, from size and weight possibly a sixpence of William III (1694 - 1702). Both faces have been worn smooth, having a polished appearance devoid of any legible detail. both edges have been turned up in opposite directions, creating a S -shape bend which may indicate this has been used as a love token. Diameter 19.5 mm, thickness 0.8 mm Weight 2 g

DENO-F6AA14: DAGGER
A cast copper alloy object of uncertain date, possibly a pommel for a dagger or sword, or a finial for a staff. The object is in the form of an elongated bulb, a truncated tear - shape, hollowed by a bored, off -centre hole 8.5 mm diameter at one end, reducing to 3.8 mm at the other. The surface is corroded and appears undecorated, there is a crescent shaped indentation around the narrower perforation (at the bulbous end of the 'tear') which may indicate some attachment or fixing nut for the tang of the blade or staff. The other end is roughly flattened. Length 43.3 mm, maximum diameter 25 mm, reducing to 17.5 mm at flat end. Weight 56.7 g

DENO-F567EE: SWORD
An copper-alloy lobed sword pommel of Early Medieval date, c.AD 900 - 1100. The pommel is of Petersen's Type L, VI late lobed form. The object is roughly triangular in shape and has five lobes, seperated by grooves, which decrease in size away from the central lobe, which has a flattened top and a countersunk circular perforation 4.4 mm diameter, to accomdate the tang of the blade. The base has a curve and would have rested on a concave pommel bar. The surface has an even green patina. Length 49.5 mm, width, 17 mm, height 21 mm, thickness 3.2 mm Similar pommels have been identified as being from the late early-medieval period ; 10th or 11th century, and are ascribed to Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Scandinavian style. Similar items described on this database include YORYM-7EBD63, SOM-FDBAFD, and DENO-D7D52E

DENO-F3E2B1: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An unidentified object, probably post-medieval in date. Cast in a dense copper alloy, the object is incomplete and very battered, showing many indentations (these seem to be concentrated on one side). There is a hollow stem or barrel, deformed and terminating in a break. 16.5 mm in diameter, 4.5 mm thick, There is a circumferential line, possibly machined, marking a very slight widening of this stem before it joins a sub-rectangular block which may have been a T-shaped handle - the original form is hard to determine due to the many dents and deformations. This has a length of 37.5 mm, a width of 20 mm and a thickness of 12.5 mm. It is possible the object is part of a tap key or valve handle. Weight is 92.4 g

DENO-608C49: HOOK
A post-medieval copper alloy possible hook. The object is lozenge shaped, with a twisted and tapering shank (33 mm long) projecting at right angles from the end of one of the edges. The shank is bent 180 degrees up the centre of the lozenge-shaped plate. The surface is corroded and no trace of decoration can be seen. There is a square perforation off centre, probably a nail hole. It has been suggested that this is a home-made hook of post-medieval date. Width 22 mm, length 21.5 mm, thickness1.7 mm. Weight 4.7 g

DENO-601BF1: PLAQUE
A fragment of a lead alloy plaque or tablet probably of medieval to post medieval date. The fragment is roughly rectangular, the edges are irregular from apparently old breaks. The object is slightly convex, probably from deformation rather than original form. One face has lettering, stamped or incised and infilled with a dark pigment. There appears to be two lines of lettering, both are truncated by the breaks. The lower row has three letters, the center seems to be a capital A in a Latin font. To the left is a circular impression which could be the top part of a B, P or R or possibly the figure 8. Only the verticle bar of the letter to the right is visible. The upper row has three characters, in what appears to be a hybrid font, with elements of Blackletter or Gothic Italic script, with terminals resembling Textualis. The right hand character appears to be part of an M, the center character is a single verticle bar, the left hand character is a similar bar with two curved strokes on the left side. Between the two rows is what could be a C or an early ampersand. The characters are 22 mm high, each bar is 5 mm wide. The rows are 27 mm apart. The reverse is undecorated and there is no obvious means of attachment. The whole object has a cream coloured patina, except for some recent scratches at the edges where the silvery surface of the lead alloy is exposed. Length of object 65.5 mm, width 45 mm.

DENO-A6540C: BROOCH
A complete copper alloy annular buckle or brooch of probable medieval date (c. 1200 -1400 AD) The frame is distorted into an elliptical shape but the reach of the apparently intact pin suggests it was originally circular. The frame has a flattened elliptical section and constriction to retain the pin (Egan and Pritchard suggest that frames with constrictions for the pin are considered to be brooches, rather than buckles. Egan, G. and Pritchard, F., 2002 Dress Accessories,) The pin is flat and slightly tapering, and curled around the frame. Diameter is 18 mm, length of pin 16.1 mm, thickness 1.3 mm. Weight 0.7 mm

DENO-A58655: STRAP END
A cast copper alloy zoomorphic strap end of early medieval date (AD 750 -1100). The object seems to have been cast in one piece, with a spilt end and a tapering shaft, heavily moulded in a zoomorphic design. The width to length ration is 1:4.7, placing it in Class B of the Thomas classification. The object is difficult to fit into type, but most closely resembles Type 4, illustrated in Fig 2.16-17 of the FRG datasheet 32. The object has an overall length of 46.4 mm, a maximum width of 9.9 mm, tapering to a blunt point. Overall thickness is 6.3 mm, the object weighs 10.2 g

DENO-15C2DA: BROOCH

DENO-14BA4E: COIN
A copper alloy 5 reis of John V of Portugal (King of Portugal 1688 - 1750; King of Portugal and the Algarve 1706 - 1750), dating to 1723 - 1736. Diameter 28.2 mm, weight 5.1 g.

DENO-12F59C: STRAP END
An incomplete copper alloy early medieval strap end (c. 750 - c. 950) missing fragments from its attachment end and the tip of its zoomorphic terminal. The strap end has convex sides and a slit end. Although damaged, the attachment end retains parts of the rivet holes that would have held the strap end to the strap. The front has incised decoration in the form of a broadly rectangular field enclosing a zoomorphic motif in the Trewhiddle style. The back appears undecorated. The strap end fits into Thomas (2003) Class A, Type 1. Overall, the object measures 25.5mm long, 9.3 mm wide and 3.0 mm thick (1.2 mm ignoring the split attachment end). It weighs 1.4 g.

DENO-123DA8: GAMING PIECE
A ceramic possible gaming piece of post-medieval date. It is in the form of a polyhedral; a cube with chamferred corners. Four of the resulting lozenge shaped faces have an incised cruciform decoration with a dot or annulet in each quarter. The other two lozenge-faces are pierced by a central circular hole or perforation 8.8 mm in diameter. The triangular corner faces have a single central anulet. The edges of each face are defined by incised lines, and there are traces of a green glaze overall (this appears to continue into the central perforation). Where the glaze is worn a buff coloured fabric is revealed. The general form of the object, a chamferred cube with annulet decoration, is found in early medieval weights of Anglo-Scandenavian origin, but these are usually of metal and considerably smaller (see PAS 'Find-ID' DENO-92F202; DENO-9338F5 and DENO-934697). The glaze on this object discounts an early medieval date and indicates a much later date. Kevin Leahy (PAS National Finds Adviser) says the glaze and form are not seen on Medieval objects and suggests that the object may have been used as a jack in a game of Jacks or Fivestones in which objects are thrown into the air, with the aim of catching them on the back of the hand. The fabric and glaze of the object is reminiscent of other jacks, including NLM-D10DFB. However, the overall shape is different, suggesting that the object may be part of a different game or have a different function altogether. The faces of the object are 32.5 mm square, the weight is 47.4 g.

DENO-5B7CBC: TOKEN
A copper alloy trade token of post medieval date. The obverse shows a horseshoe, with a circumferential legend no longer legible. The reverse is corroded but appears to show two columns, possibly initials I I, with what may be a rose between them. The combination of horseshoe and monogram is found on several tokens described on this database (examples: LON-B856E2, HESH-B5D71D) and is generally dated to the 17th century. This could be a blacksmith token or some trade associated with horses. Diameter 20 mm, wieght 0.9 g

The reverse shows a short cross fleury with floral ornaments and cross ornaments in the border. No legend. The jetton is pierced in the centre. A similar jetton is described in record SF-E8255A on this database. Diameter 26 mm Weight 2.8 g This object was found close to the jetton described in record DENO-9DF1F1.

DENO-9DF1F1: JETTON
A late medieval copper alloy French crown type jetton c.1385-1422. The obverse depicts a crown with a central fleur de lis and two smaller side fleurs. The legend is blundered and reads [...]BVAP[...]. The surviving letters are included in the letters on a similar jetton PUBLIC-B216DD. The reverse has a triple stranded straight cross fleuretty within a four arched tressure. There are letter 'A's within the four angles formed by the tressure and also inside the tressure adjacent to these. This object was found close to the jetton described in record DENO-9E5C2C. Diameter 25 mm, thickness 0.5 mm, weight 2.4 g

DENO-9DB358: SPOON
A copper alloy spoon of probable post medieval date (1500-1750). The spoon has been been bent double. One end is spatulate, probably originally with a rounded terminal but now missing the tip. The bowl is an elongated oval, quite shallow. The stem is flat, and above the bowl there are linear ridges which may be decorative; however the surface is corroded and has a green patina. It should be noted that other small spoons recorded on this database have been identified as parts of a seed drill. However, in these cases the bowl tends to be hemispherical and the stem round in section. The small bowl and the spatulate handle would indicate a specific purpose - possibly an apothecary's measuring spoon. A similar object is described in record HESH-1018E6 on this database. Overall length 44 mm (estimated length if unbent 75 mm), width of bowl 10 mm, length of bowl 15 mm. Width of stem at bowl 6 mm, width of stem at break 11.9 mm. Thickness 1.5 mm. Weight 4 g.

DENO-9C214C: THIMBLE

Diameter 21 mm, weight 1.27 g.

DENO-0B8ED2: NUT CRACKERS
A complete pair of Post-Medieval copper alloy nut crackers likely dating to the later 18th century. The object consists of two identical arms hinged together at the top by a copper alloy axis bar 14 mm in length. The upper part of each arm has a facetted D-shaped cross-section. The inside surface of each plate has five rows of four triangular nicks designed to hold the nut securely while the outside surface, with three facets, is decorated with a stamped pattern consisting of chains of annulets. The middle part of each arm is cylindrical and moulded with a series of circumferential transverse grooves. The final part of each arm, the 'handles', are D-shaped in cross-section and curve initially away from the main area and then taper back in towards each other, before terminating with flared-out points. Overall length is 106 mm, width with handles closed 34 mm, Thickness of upper arm 6 mm. Weight 72 g

DENO-0B0ACB: THIMBLE
A complete copper alloy thimble of probable post-medieval date (c. 1500 - 1650). The thimble is domed with sloping sides , the holes are aranged in an irregular spiral, leaving no tonsure at the top. There is no obvious makers mark. There is no turned down rim at the base, there are two small notches on opposite sides, this may indicate the thimble was finished on a lathe. Diameter 17.2 mm, height 16.7 mm, wall thickness 1.2 mm. Weight 4.4 g. The spiral pattern of holes and the lack of a tonsure suggest a post-1500 date. By the mid-late 17th century thimbles tended to be machine made and have a regular pattern.

DENO-0A2E05: SPINDLE WHORL
A cast lead spindle whorl, probably of medieval date. It is bi-convex with a narrow circumferential rim. One surface is decorated with raised pellets arranged concentrically, ten in one circle, sixteen in the outer. The other surface has raised hatching. The central perforation is evenly formed and is 11 mm in diameter. Overall diameter is 29 mm, thickness 9 mm. Weight is 32.3 g. Spindle whorls are used for a long period of time and as such are very difficult to date precisely without an established context. This style of decoration is most commonly seen on bi-convex whorls dated to the later medieval or post medieval period (1100-1600).

A worn silver Roman Republican denarius of uncertain moneyer, possibly dating to the period c.140-130 BC (Reece period 1). Obverse: Helmeted head of Roma right, uncertain legend or control mark behind head. Reverse: [R](OM?)[A] / [...], Quadriga right, wheel behind, uncertain figure riding. Probably mint of Rome. Cf.

DENO-77DA4D: TOKEN
A copper alloy post-medieval trade token issued by Francis French of Bawtry, dating to the 17th century. The token is octagonal in shape. The obverse inscription reads FRANCIS FRENCH OF BAWTRY with HIS / HALF / PENY in the centre. The reverse inscription is worn but should read IN YORKSHEERE APOTHYCARY and shows a shield device with the apothecaries' arms. One edge of the token is slightly bent. Diameter 19 mm Weight 1.4 g Trade tokens were issued between 1648 and 1673 at a time when there was little low denomination coinage being issued by the crown.

DENO-77160C: SPINDLE WHORL
A cast lead alloy spindle-whorl, probably of medieval date. The object is bi-conical with a broad circumferential rim. Both surfaces are decorated with moulding: Four large pellets or knobs, between each is a cruciform shape having pellets at the end of each arm. There is a linear dent running across one surface. The well formed central perforation has a diameter of 9 mm. Spindle whorls are difficult to date but bi-conical ones are normally attributed to the medieval period. The cruciform decoration is also suggestive of a medieval date. The weight of 75.6 g may indicate this was used for spinning wool and heavy yarn rather than cotton. Overall diameter is 32 mm.

DENO-75DFAA: COIN WEIGHT
A small copper alloy coin weight of post-medieval date. The object appears to be uniface, the only distinct feature being an eliptical shape which may possibly represent the hull of a ship. The diameter of 12 mm and weight of 1.2 g (19 grains) suggest the weight may have been used for a halfcrown of James I or a quarter angel of Elizabeth I, therefore dating from 1554 - 1619.

DENO-751454: BELL
A small copper alloy bell of medieval to post-medieval date. The object appears complete but has been flattened. The bell would have been spherical with a single sound slot across the lower hemisphere - this has been opened by the flattening of the object. The sound pea appears to still be present, indicated by a lump in the upper half of the object. There is no visible seam to indicate that the bell was formed by two soldered halves, which may indicate it was pressed from copper alloy sheet, suggesting a later date. However the surface is corroded with a dusty brown patina, which may be obscuring the seam. There seems to be a cap or thicker portion on the top of the bell, to which is affixed, probably soldered, a wire suspension loop, 3.5 mm diameter. This small bell could be a dress accessory (rumbler bell) or a hawking bell. Egan and Pritchard (1991: pp. 338-339) date rumbler bells to 13th - 15th century. Hawking bells continued to be used up to modern times. Read (1995: pp. 88-89) describes bells used as horse harness decoration, but the examples shown have integrally cast, thicker suspension loops than this object. Weight 2.3 g. Diameter 19 mm

DENO-7ED40C: HOOKED TAG
An incomplete copper alloy early post-medieval dress hook (16th century). The suspension loop and the tip of the hook are missing. The hooked tag fits into Read's Class E, type 3, circular/sub-circular.

Extant length 25 mm, width 16 mm, thickness 1.5 mm, weight 1.9 g

DENO-7E15E6: TOKEN
A cast lead uniface token of medieval to post medieval date. Powell type 12, the token is decorated on one face with cross with a right-angled chevron in each angle of the cross. The other surface appears to be undecorated, the shape of the chevrons on the other face can be seen pressing through. The token has a thick rolled circumferential edge Tokens with crosses on may be influenced by medieval coin design, but may also reflect Tudor base silver coins. Diameter 18 mm, thickness 3.5 weight 5 g

DENO-7D7DDD: TOKEN
A possible lead token of medieval or post-medieval date. The object is in poor condition, very corroded. It appears to have one flat and one convex face. The flat face shows what could be an outer pelleted circle and three arches. There may be lettering but it is indistinct. Read, 2001, describes several lead token designs with pelleted circles, dating them to the 18th century. (fig 89) Overall diameter 15 mm. Thickness 4 mm. Weight 3 g

DENO-7D295D: HARNESS FITTING
An incomplete cast copper alloy fragment of a knobbed terret ring, the object appears to be part of an oval or sub-oval hoop, with a D-shaped section and two rounded knobs approximately 90 degrees apart, assuming a circular or oval shape for the hoop. It resembles other objects recorded on this database, eg LIN-F0FAB4 and WMID-DE27C6, which are identified as terrets dated to the late Iron Age / Early Roman period. Length 44 mm, thickness 7 mm, weight 13.7 g

DENO-7BB665: COIN
A heavily corroded silver denarius of Vespasian (AD 69-79), probably dating to the period AD 71 (Reece period 4).

Length 77mm, width at bow 26mm, dismeter of shank 7mm, Thickness at bow 4mm Weight 24.3g Similar keys are descibed in Read, 2001, fig 44, and dated to 14th century.

A worn silver penny of the Commonwealth period (AD 1649 - 1660). Both faces are worn and tarnished but the obverse bears a shield containing the cross of St George. The reverse shows two conjoined shields. These would contain the cross of St George for England and the Harp of Ireland. There is a I above the shield denoting the value. London Tower mint. North 2729. There are two holes piercing the coin above the shields, partly obscuring the I. These are of similar diameter (1mm) and seem neatly made. These holes may have been created to enable the coin to be stitched to clothing or threaded to be worn. The holes roughly align to the reverse. However, Commonwealth coins were often pierced to remove them from circulation after the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660. Diameter 14mm, thickness 1mm. weight 0.4g

DENO-7A479C: COIN
A possible copper alloy coin of Iron Age date. Worn, damaged and slightly convex. Possibly a contemporary copy of a stater, the core of a plated coin. Overall diameter 12mm, thickness 2mm, weight 1.1g

DENO-FFD81E: CLOTH SEAL
A lead alloy cloth seal of post medieval (16th / 17th Century) date. Seal shows a capital A with chevron bar, within a pelleted circle. This is the initial of the German city of Augsberg, adopted in the middle of the 16th Century. The reverse shows a stylised pine cone, the heraldic badge of the city. This seal type was used on the fustian (mixed linen-warp and cotton-weft fabrics) of Augsburg, known as Ousbrow or Augusta fustians. (Egan G 'Lead Cloth Seals and related items in the BM') Diameter 18 mm, thickness 3.5 mm, weight 7.4

DENO-FF30E3: SPINDLE WHORL
A cast lead alloy spindle whorl probably of medieval date. It is cylindrical with a conical top bearing incised decoration in the form of radiating lines. The base is flat with a countersunk central hole. The central whole is 11 mm in diameter, suggesting a date of tenth century or later (Walton Rogers 2007, p 26) The bun-shape of the object resembles Coppergate Form B. Overall diameter is 28 mm, thickness 14 mm, weight 50.4

DENO-FEE2B8: SPINDLE WHORL
A cast lead alloy spindle whorl probably of early medieval date. It is very flattened, resembling Coppergate form A, One face is more conical, the other plano-convex. Both faces have moulded decoration; the conical face has four arrow heads alternating with raised pellets. The arrow heads alternately point inwards to the centre and outwards to the rim. The flatter face has a raised circle around the circumference, enclosing a double circle of raised pellets. There are some dents and marks to this face, possibly post-depositional. The entire object has a creamy buff patina.

DENO-F65B35: BUTTON
A copper alloy post medieval or modern button. The object is very worn and corroded, the reverse has no discernable detail, but there is a rectangular area of corrosion which may represent an attachment lug. The other face has an eagle, left, bearing a shield on its breast. It resembles the American eagle, the shield has a field of verticle stripes in the lower part but the upper part is too corroded to identify stars. The bolts and olive branch of the American symbol also seem to be missing. The beak is open and appears to be eating or holding a string of rosettes formed from pellets. No parallel can be found on this database. Diameter 27 mm, Thickness 0.8 mm Weight 4.2 g.

DENO-F44E42: TOKEN
A copper alloy trade token or jetton of post medieval date, probably late 17th Century (AD c. 1650 - 1690). The token is very worn and slightly bent at one edge. One face shows a dagger within a circle. The inscription is illegible. The other face has some device within a circle, but no details can be clearly discerned. The inscription is also illegible. The dagger could be a sword, representing the Sword of St Paul, the Guildhall mark of London. But the closest parallel found on this database is a token farthing from Dagger Alley, Turn Mill Street, London; described in record BH-2FCA09 diameter 18 mm, thicknes 0.6 mm, weight 0.8 g

DENO-62E273: TOKEN
A biface lead alloy token of medieval to post-medieval date (AD c. 1300 - 1600). One face shows a raised cross with three pellets in each quarter. This design may have been influenced by medieval hammered pennies, or by Tudur base silver farthings which also has a cross and pellets on one face. The other face shows a raised grid pattern. The grid is very regular, it is suggested that this pattern is taken from the arms of the watermen's guild and could indicate a ferry token. Alternatively, the grid pattern could represnt agricultural tasks such as harrowing. (Fletcher 2005, p. 65) Weight 8.3 g. Diameter 22 mm, thickness 3 mm

A cast lead alloy spindle whorl of probable medieval date (AD c. 1100 - 1500). The object is bi-conical in shape and decorated on both faces with raised pellets and lines. The central perforation is 11 mm diameter. The object has a creamy white patina Leaden spindle whorls have been found in a wide range of contexts and are difficult to date. However the pelleted decoration suggests a later medieval date. Diameter 27 mm, thickness 10 mm. Weight 28.4 g

DENO-60DC0E: VESSEL
A fragment of a cast ceramic post-medieval vessel of 17th century date. It is in the form of an eagle or griffin with wings held together over its back. The feet and tail form a double arch, there are breaks under the tail and at the front of the feet, these are probably the points of attachment to the vessel, suggesting this object formed a lug or handle. This object is very similar in form to that described in record LON-C77BE5. In this case, there is no remaining trace of slip, but a cast line can be seen on the underside. LON-C77BE5 has been identified by Roy Stephenson as a 17th century chafing dish attachment, probably from a continental vessel. Length 59 mm, height 29 mm, thickness 17 mm Weight 22.5 g

DENO-D16243: PILGRIM BADGE
A cast lead alloy object, possibly a fragment from a pilgrim badge of medieval date AD c. 1300 - 1400. The object is in the form of a shield with three orbs or balls along the top edge, and bearing a cross. The rear face has a verticle slot and the remains of some form of catchplate, as if it were intended to be afixed to a pin or wire. The object may be a fragment of a larger, more complex design. For example, Spencer (Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges 1998, p.80) illustrates badges depicting Becket's return from excile in which soldiers in the ship bear similar shields. Length is 15 mm, width 11 mm, thickness 1 mm, weight 2 g

DENO-D064FD: SPINDLE WHORL
A cast lead alloy biconical spindle whorl, probably of medieval date. Both surfaces are decorated with sets of incised lines at alternating angles. The central perforaton is 9 mm diameter. Lead alloy spindle whorls are difficult to date as the same basic design was in use for a long period. The decorative style is consistent with others recorded on this database and assigned a medieval date. cf SWYOR-A34CA5, LVPL-DDE0C3 Diameter 28 mm, height 17 mm, weight 45.8 g

DENO-D0073A: TOKEN
A cast lead alloy uniface token of post medieval date (AD c. 1500 -1800).

It is circular with a domed central boss surounded by moulded ropework and sixteen spokes radiating out to a raised rim with a pelleted border. The slightly concave reverse is undecorated and there is the base of a stud, probably for attachment, at the centre (5 mm diameter, terminating in an apparently old break). Bailey (1995, p15) illustrates openwork fittings of similar size and dates them to the 18th - 19th centuries. Object is 38 mm in diameter, 7 mm thick and weighs 13.8 g

DENO-A72952: BUCKLE
A cast copper alloy buckle of late medieval date (AD c. 1250 - 1500). The buckle has a single loop, a broad D-shape (almost horse-shoe shaped) frame and a narrow off set bar. The outer surface of the frame is decorated with incised wavy lines. The frame is worn and damaged but there does appear to be a notch where the pin would have rested. The pin is missing. The bar is 22 mm long and 4 mm wide. The frame has a maximum diameter of 41 mm, minimum of 30 mm, and is 11 mm broad. The object weighs 9.5 g.

DENO-2B05C5: SPINDLE WHORL
A cast lead alloy spindle whorl of early-medieval to medieval date. The mass suggests it could have spun a spindle rather than functioned as a loom weight. Circular in plan, rectangular in cross-section, both faces are flat, one is decorated with incised lines forming a cruciform pattern. Spindle whorls are difficult to date as they were in use for a long period. The decoration suggests a medieval date. Diameter 32mm, diameter of central perforation 9 mm Thickness 11 mm. Weight 64.7 g Walton Rogers (2009) suggests that spindle whorls with a rectangular cross-section are common from AD 900 but appear in York as early as AD 700. Walton Rogers, P, 2009, 'Textile production', pp281-316 in D H Evans and C Loveluck, Life and Economy at Early Medieval Flixborough c.AD 600-1000: The Artefact Evidence (Excavations at Flixborough 2).Oxford/Oakville: Oxbow.

DENO-2A9063: FINGER RING
A late medieval / post-medieval copper alloy finger ring with an incised bezel. The band is D-section, and moulded to resemble a rope. The bezel is flat and rectangular, incised so as to function as a seal matrix. It has a Capital I surmounted by a crown, with branches to the side. Signet rings with a crowned initial and branches to each side became increasingly common in the 15th century (Harvey and MacGuiness 1996: 93). Rings with single initials were probably made in bulk rather than being custom made for an individual. It is worth noting however that the crowned 'I' may have a Jacobite significance. Diameter 22 mm, thickness 2 mm, width of band : 4mm. Bezel is 15 mm by 9 mm. Weight 6.5

DENO-29B991: WEIGHT
A lead alloy weight probably of medieval date. The object resembles in form shield-shaped trade weights recorded on this database and dated to the medieval period (AD c. 1100-1400), but is substantially larger and heavier. The object is shield-shaped: a blunted triangle in plan, rectangular in section. One surface is heavily pitted and scared with linear grooves, but three lions are discernible (cf Biggs and Withers 2000, p 37 fig 85). The other surface is flat and smooth apart from one large indentation. There is a sub-circular perforation running through the object near one edge; this is not at the apex as on other triangular weights, but is centrally placed along one side. Length is 78 mm, width 72, thickness 12. Weight 460 g, (approx 16 oz)

DENO-28F50D: MOUNT
A copper alloy probably post-medieval mount, circular in plan, with two perforations near the circumference. Two figures are depicted in relief, one is kneeling over an indistinct object, the other is wielding an object which could be a threshing flail or a mattock - the figure seems to be kneeling on or climbing over some kind of rocky surface. This may depict mining or some agricultural activity. Diameter 37 mm. Thickness 5 mm Weight 18.7 g

DENO-275A34: POLISHED AXEHEAD
A polished axehead of Neolithic date (3500-2100 BC). It is formed from a fine-medium grained stone (some grains smaller than 1mm, possibly a diorite or dolorite). The surface has a pecked appearance. There is damage at the butt end and two large chips near the tip, this damage is partially smoothed. The object is oval in section and tongue-shaped in plan, Length: 126 mm, maximum width: 59 mm, thickness: 35 mm. Weight is 465 g.

DENO-5A61C4: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper alloy buckle with folded sheet plate, of medieval date The frame is missing, but the bar, pin and sheet plate remain. The plate is tongue-shaped, it is folded around the bar and secured with five rivets, all in situ, one central, four in corners. Traces of gilding remain on plate and pin. The pin is bent but appears unbroken, tapering from the bar to a blunt point. Overall length of the pin is 11 mm. The plate is 31 mm long and 11 mm wide at the bar, tapering slightly to 9.5 mm at the terminal end. The plate is made from thin (<1 mm) copper alloy sheet. The overall thickness including the rivets is 3 mm. Weight is 2.4 g. Egan & Pritchard (1991, p 22 fig 11). Suggested date of AD c. 1350 - c. 1450 for this type of buckle with plate.

DENO-59D492: AMPULLA
An incomplete medieval lead ampulla dating to the period (AD c. 1300 - c. 1500). The neck and lugs are missing, only the lower part of the flask remains. One face is moulded to resemble a scallop shell - the lines continuing around the walls and base. The other face has two circumferential lines enclosing an indistinct device, which may be a cross-hatched heart. The scallop design is often associated with St James de Compostela, but is also a generic Christian symbol, as it resembles the baptisimal dish used to pour holy water. The scallop is also associated with pilgrims as the shellfish was known to be capable of free movement. Length 28 mm, width 36 mm, thickness 7 mm. Weight 28 g.

DENO-58AFF2: PILGRIM BADGE
A cast lead alloy bi-face object, possibly a torn fragment of a pilgrim badge of medieval date (AD c. 1200 - c. 1300) depicting the head and shoulders of Thomas Becket. The object is torn and distorted so the head and mitre are missing, The remaining fragment seems to have a border of pellets and a field of cross-hatching; perhaps representing the Archiepiscopal mantle, or possibly the reliquary in which fragments of Becket's skull were kept. Length is 29.5 mm , width 26 mm, thickness 3 mm. Weight 13.5 g

DENO-58340C: RING
A cast copper alloy ring of medieval date (AD c. 1200 - c. 1500). The diameter and faceted cross section (it is bevelled internally and upper and lower surfaces are filed flat) may indicate a medieval date (Geake, 2001, Finds Recording Guide, page 74), Possibly a harness fitting but there are no clear marks of wear to confirm this, Diameter 21 mm, (internal diameter 14 mm) thickness 4mm. Weight 2.4 g

DENO-57F2A5: SPINDLE WHORL
A lead alloy spindle whorl early medieval to post medieval date (AD c. 900 - c. 1800). The object is corroded and abraided, but seems to have one flat face and one domed face, There are some faint radiating lines on the flat face that may be traces of decoration. It is sub-circular in plan with a 6mm central perforation. The object has a maximum diameter of 28 mm, is 7 mm thick and weighs 24.2 g

DENO-57AE96: SPINDLE WHORL
A cast lead alloy spindle whorl of early medieval to post medieval date (AD c. 900 - c. 1800). The object is circular with a flat top and base, and rounded edges. There are some abrasions and dents along one edge, probably post - depositional damage. A 6mm circular perforation runs through the centre. The object is undecorated and has a pale cream patina. Diameter 21 mm, thickness 6 mm. Weight 13g,

DENO-5761E4: SHOT
A cast lead post medieval Musket Ball. Weight and size suggest a smaller bore than the old army musket or land service (Brown Bess). It could be from a sporting musket or a cavalry carbine. It is flattened and distorted on one side, with much of the mass of one hemisphere spread out into a flan. The flattened side shows fine linear marks which may be formed from impact onto a surface covered by cloth or woven material, or may be from a 'pouch' wrapped around the ball to form a seal when fired from a larger bore weapon. The diameter as determined from the extant hemisphere is 17 mm, Weight 13.6g. Suggested date: 17th -18th Century.

DENO-56CEF7: SHOT
A post medieval cast lead shot (large game shot or buck shot). There are no visible sprue or moulding seams, suggesting that it is 'drop shot' (molten untinned lead poured through a sieve and allowed to form globules as it drops down a shaft into a cooling tank). This type of shot was in use from the 17th to 19th century. The shot is flattened and dimpled on one side, suggesting it has impacted on some semi-yielding surface. Maximum extant diameter is 9 mm. Weight is 3g.

DENO-C6994A: MOUNT
An incomplete copper alloy mount, possibly from a harness mount or pendant of medieval date (AD c. 1200 - c. 1400). The object is a D-sectioned bar 25 mm long and 7 mm wide, At one end is a terminal with a 3 mm hole and a knob or lobe protuding a further 5 mm. The other end of the bar has a lateral ridge then flattens and widens to form what appears to be a disc, this terminates in an old break 4 mm from the ridge. There are traces of gilding on the bar. The rear of the bar and lobe is hollowed, the rear of the disc is flat. Overall extant length is 36 mm, the remaining part of the disc is 15 mm across and 2 mm thick. The object weighs 4.7 g A similar object is described in record SUSS-2EE7F4

DENO-C4DB3F: STRAP END
An incomplete cast copper alloy strap end of late early medieval date (AD c. 900 - c. 1100). The object is tongue shaped and is missing the tip and the attachment end. It is decorated in openwork and relief, although both surfaces are heavily worn and the relief decoration is indistinct. There are eight extant perforations and one which appears to be closed by corrosion (possibly the remains of a rivet). There appears to be two larger holes trunctated by the break at the attachment end. The object most closely resembles Thomas class E, Type 2 (Thomas 2004, fig 4) The object is 37 mm long, 25 mm wide and 2.5 mm thick. It weighs 8.3 g.

DENO-C32B8A: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead ball of post medieval, 17th -18th century date. It has a slight waist band from casting, and a mark where the sprue has been trimmed and smoothed. There are other marks and dents which may represent set up marks or may be post depostitional damage. The size and weight are somewhat smaller than usual for military muskets, it may be from a sporting gun or used as canister shot, Diameter is 15 mm, weight 18 g.

DENO-341A18: CANNON BALL
A small iron cannon ball of post medieval date. The ball is spherical and well-finished; the 'waist' from casting has been smoothed and is only faintly visibly. The size, 29 mm, and weight, 94 g suggests it was for use with a small bore, long barrel artillery piece such as a Serpentine or Rabinet, or as cannister shot. Such shot is difficult to date, becoming common in the 17th Century, cannister shot continued to be used to the 19th Century.

DENO-2122AC: TOY
A lead alloy object, probably part of a toy of post-medieval date (16th -19th century) The object is a cast sub-circular disc with one surface decorated with a crude representation of a human face - pellets for eyes, raised bar for mouth, lines for nose and eyebrows. There is a sprue where the neck would be, presumably this connected to a body. The object may have formed part of a more complex figure; Forsyth and Egan (2005) illustrate openwork panels from toy coaches and ships which incorporate flat, one-sided human figures. Diameter 9 mm. Thickness 1 mm. Weight 0.8 g.

DENO-20A249: BUCKLE
A cast copper alloy buckle of medieval date (AD c. 1250 - c. 1400). The buckle is missing its pin. There is also an apparently recent break across two rivet holes in on the buckle plate 15 mm from the frame, so the object is in two pieces. The buckle has a single loop frame with a lobed outer edge. An integrally cast decorative plate extends from the frame, initially rectangular but then narrowing after 25 mm. The narrowed plate extends a further 61 mm from the break, and tapers to a blunt point, with two additional rivets at 9 and 39 mm from the terminal end, and is decorated with transverse moulding. Whitehead (2003, 34; no. 205) and Egan and Pritchard (1991, p. 78) date this type of buckle to the late 13th and 14th Century Overall length 82 mm Width of buckle 20 mm , width of strap 7 mm.

DENO-1E718C: BUCKLE
A cast copper alloy buckle of medieval date, (AD c. 1350 - c. 1450). The frame is oval, lipped and bevelled. It has a forked (Ward-Perkins uses the term 'pronged') spacer extending from the back of the frame. The spacer shows marks of rough filing to provide keying for the solder which would have held the sheet metal plates in place - these are now missing. The pin is in place but appears to be quite thin and of a different alloy to the frame; it is possible it is a wire replacement of the original. Oval framed buckles with forked spacers are descrbed in Whitehead (2000) p. 34, fig. 211-216, in The London Museum Medieval Catalogue (1940) p. 272, and in Egan and Pritchard (1991) p 79, fig 232. The concensus date is late 13th - 14th century. Length 41 mm, width 20 mm. thickness 3 mm. Weight 4.7 g

DENO-1DC01D: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman headstud brooch dating to AD c. 75 - c. 200. The pin, the separate headstud and part of the head loop are missing, but hinge mechanism, wings, bow and a substantial part of the catch plate remain. The wings are rectangular, stepped on the front and semi-cylindrical on the back. The stepped-front is decorated with horizontal ridges. The remains of a broken suspension loop project from the head. At the head end of the bow is a circular recession on a raised platform. This is the top of a hole that goes through to the rear of the bow, though this is now blocked with dirt. This hole would have held a separately cast headstud that may have held an enamel setting. The headstud is missing. The front of the bow is corroded but appears undecorated, the sides have curvilinear cells which may have contained enamel. The bow terminates in a stepped circular foot, the base of which is hollow and may have housed an enamel setting. The rear of the bow has a central rib which expands to form the catchplate, which is missing its curl. The general form of the brooch resembles those illustrated in Hattatt (2000), p 332, fig 191 Overall length 51.9 mm, width 20.3 mm, thickness 22.1 mm. Weight 18.02 g.

DENO-791698: DOMINO
A cast lead alloy domino of post medieval date (AD c. 1700 - c. 1900) The spots are formed from drilled recesses, the dividing bar is an integrally cast raised ridge. The value of the domino is 4 | 3. The object has an even mid-grey patina. The reverse is undecorated. Length 24.2 mm, width 15.2 mm, thickness 3.7 mm thick. Weight 11.6 g Dominos are thought to have first arrived in Europe in the 18th Century from China.

DENO-78D0A4: MINIATURE OBJECT
A complete cast copper alloy minature or toy axe head of probable post-medieval date. The trapezoidal blade flares out from a rectangular butt which has a drilled hole 2.5 mm diameter running transversely through it ; this could have taken a hefted handle or allowed the object to be threaded as a pendant or bead, The object has patches of dark green pattina and also red-brown corrosion, The blade is 18 mm across, the object is 20 mm wide including the butt, The butt is 4 mm thick. The object weighs 3.4 g There are examples recorded on this database of objects of similar form and size, but made of lead alloy rather than copper alloy. For example; YORYM-0ED88A, HESH-085706

DENO-784371: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A cast copper alloy object comprising a three sided spike on top of a conical attachment socket, It is possible it is a finnial of some kind, or the base spike from a shooting stick or surveyor's pole or Groma. Date uncertain, Roman to Modern (AD 43 - 1900) Length 55 mm, width 17 mm. Weight 35.6 g

DENO-77F842: MOUNT
An incomplete cast lead alloy post-medieval (AD c. 1500 - c. 1700) belt or hamess mount. The central boss is circular and has a well moulded human or possibly leonine face, from the mouth of which energe ribbons or garlands, reminicent of the 'green man' motiff but lacking the foliage. The ribbons continue to the left, and probably originally to the right, but the right now terminates in what appears to be an old break. To the left the ribbon merges with an eight petalled flower head then rises to a smaller quatrefoil and drops vertically to form the terminal edge. On the rear face is a surviving attachment spike from the central disc, and the remaining stub of a spike from the terminal. The object is slightly convex and was probably symeterical before the break, with the missing right hand side mirroring the left. Overall, the object measures 35.6 mm long, 15.9 mm wide and 14.0 mm thick (3.4 mm thick withoutthe attachment lug). It weighs 6.7 g

DENO-76DCA0: STRAINER
A cast copper-alloy object, possibly a sieve or strainer. It is fan-shapped, with one edge formed by four hemi-spherical lobes or knobs. The other edge is slightly curved and scalloped. The object is pierced by 18 countersunk holes of varying diameter (1 to 3 mm) arranged in four rows. The other face is flat and undecorated. There are no obvious breaks, suggesting the object is complete. The lobed edge could form a handle, and the object could be a skimmer or possibly a spice or sugar rasp. Larger skimmers were used with stew pots (Egan 1998, 155) but the diminuitive size of this object (42.6 mm long, 21.8 mm wide and 4.9 mm thick) suggests it was more likely used with beverages. It weighs 9.9 g. Suggested date 15th -18th Century.

DENO-75755F: STRAINER
A sub-circular lead alloy disc with irregular perforations, possibly a strainer or drainage filter out of some kitchen impliment. Date uncertain, possibly medieval to post-medieval. There are twelve perforations in an irregular pattern, some are blocked and only nine now run through the entire thickness of the disk. Diameter is 21 mm, thickness 4.5 mm. Weight is 14 g.

A small lead weight of uncertain date. It could have been used as a loom weight or as a fishing sinker. It is in the form of a flattened tear drop with a perforation at the narrower end. It is 16.8mm long, 12.2mm wide and 4.1mm thick. It weighs 4.7 g.

DENO-74C933: TOY
A cast leaden shy-cock of post-medieval date, probably 18th Century. Only one side is decorated, with tail feathers, wing, eyes, beak and comb well defined. The figure has two legs joining an integrally cast sub-circular stand with a long axis of 18mm. The legs and stand are bent under the body, so the cock can no longer stand. The head and tail are dented. This could be post-depositional damage or a result of accurate stikes in play. There are two small perforations in the rear section. These cocks were used as targets in throwing games and were often made by apprentices. By Georgian times they had replaced the earlier practice of shying at live birds. A description of the game is found in William Hone's 'Everyday book' published in 1826. (see notes) The object is 75 mm long, 50 mm high and 2 mm thick. It weighs 20.6 g

DENO-E54984: KEY (LOCKING)
A cast copper alloy door or chest key of the medieval period (15th Century) The key most closely resembles Ward-Perkins Type VI, as described in the London Museum Medieval Catalogue (1940), p 140. The bow is in the form of a lobed lozenge with four circular perforations. Ward-Perkins dates the lobed bow form to the 14th Century. To the rear of the bow is a short (6mm) circular-sectioned hollow stem probably intended as a suspension loop. The shank is sub-circular in section and hollow - it may have been bored from the end. There is a collar where the shank joins the bow, below this is a missing piece of the shank, roughly rectangular, 19 x 4 mm, revealing the hollow interior. The large bit (22 mm by 8 mm) has a double set of wards and a cleft. There are linear marks on the bit that may be from wear or from filing during manufacture. The addition of the suspension loop indicates a 15th century date. A key similar in form but slightly smaller in size is described in record WMID-E24804. The object has an overall length of 93 mm. The shank is 7 mm in diameter, the bow is 29 mm wide and 4 mm thick. The object weighs 48.5 g

DENO-E43B7E: COIN
A copper alloy sestertius of Lucilla (AD 164-169), dating to the period AD 164-169 (Reece Period 8). IVNONI LVCINAE S - C reverse type depicting Juno, draped, seated left on throne, holding flower in right hand and infant on left arm. Mint of Rome, RIC III, p. 353, no. 1747.

DENO-E1D0E8: COIN
An incomplete copper alloy Roman radiate, probably of Victorinus (AD 269 - 271), dating to the period AD 269-271 (Reece Period 13). PAX AVG reverse type, depicting Pax standing left holding transverse sceptre. The coin is very worn and approximately one third is missing from an apparently old break.

DENO-E15BB1: TOKEN
A copper alloy half penny trade token of post medieval date (circa 1667) Obverse legend reads GARVAS*WYLDE, with W/GF in the field. Reverse reads IN NOTTINGHAM, also with W/GF in the field. Such a token is listed in A Revised Survey of Seventeenth Century Tokens of Nottinghamshire, no. 121, The survey describes the token as having the value of 1/2 displayed in the reverse field. The token is worn and this cannot be clearly seen. Token weighs 1.7 g. Diameter is 17 mm.

DENO-E08E0B: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead ball of post medieval date. Size and weight suggests use in a pistol or small carbine, or possibly as large game shot, There is a flattened area which is probably due to trimming casting spru with a knife rather than pincers, the ball has a slight waist from casting but on the whole is well finished. There are no obvious set up marks, Weight is 12.2 g. Diameter 12 mm,

DENO-516F18: WEIGHT
A net or line weight formed by tightly rolling a sheet of lead into a tube or cylinder, now flattened. The object has a thick, grey patina, and the individual layers of lead are difficult to identify, but the original lead sheet would seem to have been 2-3 mm thick, and 35 mm wide. These weights are sometimes identified as Roman curse scrolls. Some rolled lead weights have been identified as early medieval, e.g. NLM-2466C4, NLM-B0A1C4 but it is generally thought that these are post-medieval to modern in date.

DENO-510CFD: MUSKET BALL
A cast lead post medieval musket ball. The ball is spherical but has a slight seam and a sprue from casting which has been snipped but not completely trimmed. There are some dents and scratches whih may be post-depositional, some may be 'set up' marks from the weapon. The weight and diameter suggest this ball was for a smooth bore musket of military type rather than sporting guns. It falls into the range used by the long land service musket and old army musket, 18th Century. Diameter 18 mm, weight 32.6 g

DENO-50349F: TOKEN
A cast lead uniface token of medieval to post-medieval date. The upper surface is decorated with a ring of eight raised pellets around a single central pellet (Powel Type 30). This pattern of eight pellets around one is found on several other tokens described on this database, such as SUR-C62CE4 and SUR-C62CE4. However, this token is substantially larger and heavier. It is possible this design is inflenced by the 'circle of stars' seen on some early Anglo-French 'deniers de billon' (Fletcher, 2003, p20-21).

DENO-4E3DAE: GAMING PIECE
A complete ceramic possible counter or gaming piece of uncertain date. The object is a truncated cone with a flat top and base, and convex sides. All surfaces are smooth and undecorated. The object has a buff-grey colour. The base is 15 mm diameter, the upper surface 13 mm, the object is 7mm thick and weighs 2.1 g

DENO-4DEBA6: BALL (GAME)
A fragment of a ceramic ball of uncertain function, probably a toy or part of a game set - it could have been the jack in a boules-type game. The outer surface is smooth and appears to have been glazed. It is decorated with a painted set of double parallel lines, forming a grid or check pattern, approximately 11 mm apart. The object represents approximately one quarter of the original sphere. The fragment measures 38.8 mm long, 37.1 mm wide and 15.2 mm thick. It weighs 19.2 g. It is probably of post-medieval to modern date (19th-20th Century).

DENO-4D5DCA: WRITING SLATE
A fragment of slate, with incised lines on both faces; one face has a grid of squares, each 7mm wide (approximately 1/4 inch). The other face has parallel lines, 9 mm apart. This is probably part of a writing slate, used in schools and work places from the 18th century. The lined side would have been used for handwriting practice, the grid for arithmetic or drawing. The fragment is roughly rectangular, measuring 37 mm by 34 mm, it is 4 mm thick and weighs 10.7 g. A similar item is described in record BERK-C1D811

DENO-3F8E21: PENDANT
A copper alloy post-medieval possible pendant (AD c. 1800 - c. 1900). The object is a thick disc with a wide rim. Both faces depict a human head surrounded by a halo of radiating beams, within a circle of pellets. One of the heads is damaged and is upside down compared to the other face. The head possibly represents Jesus Christ. There appears to be iron corrosion along the bottom edge and part of the top edge is missing. The centre of one face of the object appears slightly swollen from top to bottom, possibly indicating that the area behind was hollow. No exact parallel can be found on this database, but it may be a Victorian religious pendant, missing its suspension loop, Overall, the object measures 18 mm in diameter, 4.5 mm thick and weighs 5.3 g.

DENO-3ECCA0: COIN
A silver medieval groat of Edward VI. London Mint (AD 1472 -1477; Type XIV/XV; North 1631).

DENO-3E19D2: TOILET ARTICLE
Description: An incomplete silver toilet article, probably of medieval date (AD 1300 - 1450). The object has an elongated spatulate tip with a flat end, and a 'barley sugar' twisted stem which terminates in an old break just after a two-banded collar; from comparison with similar objects on this database, this could have expanded to form a scoop or spoon. Such objects are sometimes described as ear scoops or nail cleaners but could also have been used for applying ointments. Dimensions: Overall length is 49 mm, the spatula end measures 19 mm and is 5 mm wide, tapering to 4 mm at the tip. The stem is 3 mm thick. The object weighs 2.7 g Similar objects described on this database include SWYOR-9BF535, DENO-BBED67 and SOM-B38BA2. Non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the surface of this Medieval silver toilet article from Ragnall, Nottinghamshire, indicated a silver content of approximately 94-96%, the rest being mostly copper. Conclusion: The object fulfils the Treasure Act (1996) in that it is more than 300 years old and has a precious metal content exceeding 10%. Author: Alastair Willis, Finds Liaison Officer for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire

DENO-95B486: PILGRIM BADGE
An incomplete lead alloy object in the form of a sheathed sword, probably a pilgrim badge from the shrine of Thomas Becket at Cantebury. Swords, representing the blades that killed Becket, were a popular motif for pilgrim souvenirs (see Spencer 1998:pp 93-99). The pommel and part of the handle of the sword are missing. The guard is crescent-shaped with rounded terminals and a groove running from end to end on each side. Below the hilt, on the sword scabbard is the shape of a scallop, another common pilgrim image. Beneath this is an oval-shaped pellet with a loop on either side. The rest of the surviving part of the scabbard has a raised central ridge but it is very worn. The scabard is bent and the tip is missing. Spencer (1998, p 93) suggests such weapon-themed badges were popular in the 14th - 15th Centuries. Overall, the object measures Length 60.5 mm, 24.9 mm wide and 8.6 mm thick (ingoring the bend). It weighs 29.21 g

DENO-94EAF9: TOKEN
A lead fragment possibly of a medieval to post-medieval token or of a medieval bulla. One face has decoration consisting of a cross and two curving pelleted lines. The other side is flatter but appears to be decorated with a raised oval ring and other indistinct lines and shapes. The oval ring is reminiscent of the faces of Saint Peter and Saint Paul on papal bullae. However, the cross on the other side does not match the design of bullae, which should instead have an inscription. This object is therefore more likely to be medieval to post-medieval token. Overall, the object measures 33.9 mm long, 20.9 mm wide and 4.5 mm thick. It weighs 10.60 g.

A silver medieval groat of Edward III. Initial mark cross 2/crown, London mint (AD 1356; Fourth Coinage, pre-treaty, mule of Series E obverse and Series F reverse; North 1163 and 1174).

DENO-929E33: HARNESS PENDANT
A copper alloy medieval harness pendant (AD c. 1200 - c.1400). The object is a circular disc with a suspension loop at the top which is turned through 90° to the plane of the pendant. The front of the disc has a raised central design within a circular border, which depicts a forward facing head, probably a lion, surrounded by a mane of hair formed from radiating lines and with two C-shaped ears. At opposite edge of the disc from the suspension loop is circular perforation approximately 2 mm in diameter, slightly smaller at the rear. This pierces the design and was possibly a later addition. The rear is flat and undecorated. Overall the object measures 31.1 mm long, 22.2 mm wide and 6.8 mm thick. Weight 5.7 g. Similar objects on this database include IOW-44A5AA

A copper alloy Scottish Turner or Bodle twopence of Charles I. Lozenge initial mark, Scottish mint (AD 1642, 1644, 1648 and 1650; Spink 5602).

DENO-1776C8: TOKEN
An incomplete copper alloy post medieval trader's token of George Rasine of Doncaster, issued in AD 1665. Obverse: shield, probably the Apothecaries' Arms. Inscription: [GEOR]GE RASI[NE OF]. Reverse: [HIS / HALF] / PENY. Inscription: [DON]CASTE[R 1665]. Diameter 18 mm Weight 0.5g cf record FAKL-8480E6 There is a section missing from the rim of this token

DENO-169644: JETTON
A very worn and abraided copper alloy medieval or post-medieval jetton of uncertain issue. Both faces are abraded and corroded with a patchy green patina. Obverse: illegible. Reverse: possible tressure within a circle but this is not clear. Diameter 18 mm. Weight 1.2 g,

DENO-15D67C: VESSEL
Two sherds of Roman coarse greyware. Probably Derbyshire ware, second century AD. Fabric: very hard, dark grey gritty inclusions give surface a pimpled texture. Inclusions: Intermediate, fine sub angular quartz and grit >1mm Forming: Wheel-thrown Form: Vessel or Jar Fragment: One sherd is from the rim, showing a flattened lip extending 19 mm, with a thickness of 1 mm and a sharp, small internal ridge. The other is a base sherd, flat, 8.5 mm thick showing whorls from removal from the wheel. From the rim sherd an estimated diameter for the rim of the vessel is 100 -110 mm

DENO-6F7761: MUSKET BALL
A post-medieval probable dumbell shot, c. 17th century AD. Two spheres of lead are cojoined by a thick cylindrical sprue, integrally cast. The integral sprue identifies the ball as probably being English as continental shot had an iron connection rod. The size and weight suggests use with a smooth bore musket of military specification. Use of such munitions increased the stopping power of a weapon at the cost of accuracy. The shot is flattened on one side consistant with stricking a soft yeilding surface such as earth or clay. The entire surface is covered with dents and dimples, most are probably the result of chewing by grazing animals after deposition. Length 34 mm, diameter 14 mm. Weight 37.6 g

DENO-6F3EA9: SEAL MATRIX
A complete copper alloy post medieval seal matrix with multiple dies. The object is cross-shaped; four oval sectioned arms radiate from a central boss, which is pierced by a hole 6mm in diameter. Each arm terminates in an oval die, 8 mm by 7 .5 mm. The dies are worn and corroded so it is difficult to identify the motifs or letters engraved into them. One may represent a heart or fleur de lis, another seems to be a horse or deer. Similar objects are recorded on this database, e.g. SOM-BCEDC5 and WILT-BBFFBB and are attributed a 17th Century date.

DENO-6C4E7A: VESSEL
Four pottery sherds of late medieval to post-medieval date (AD c.1300 - c.1800) One body sherd: thick dark brown - black glaze on inner surface, fabric dark red with some inclusions, reduced dark grey near outer surface, Outer surface is dark red. The sherd is roughly triangular, on one edge is part of a hole running through the wall of the vessel, possibly a spout or filling hole approximately 19 mm diameter. The glaze extends to line this hole. Possibly Cistercian ware (16th-17th Century) 65 mm by 61 mm,t hickness 7 mm, weight 55.7g One foot sherd: possibly also Cistercian ware, probably a bowl or dish. The surface is much abraided but both surfaces show traces of a black glaze. The fabric is hard, even and very dark red-brown. 39 mm by 24 mm, thickness 9mm, weight 12.4 Two body sherds: abraded, no glaze, hard dark red-purple fabric with small pale inclusions. Possibly Midlands purple ware.(1350 -1600AD) 9mm thick overall.

DENO-6BAA12: WEIGHT
A cast lead alloy weight of uncertain date (Roman to post-medieval, AD 43 - 1800). It is cylindrical in form. One surface is slightly concave, the other slightly convex. The concave surface has an irregularly shaped indentation near the centre, possibly a casting flaw but possibly the remains of a suspension loop for use on a steelyard. The other surface has a pattern of cross-hatched lines. The sides have grooves and dents, probably from plough damage. The object is 13 mm thick, 29 mm in diameter and weighs 82 g

DENO-6B4D47: WEIGHT
A lead alloy weight of uncertain date (Roman to post-medieval, AD 43 - 1800). It is circular in plan, with two flat surfaces and a rounded edge. Surfaces are undecorated except for rough scratches which could be interpreted as a W or M or simply accidental damage. There is a dimple or puncture in the centre of one surface which does not penetrate the entire thickness. The object has an even buff colured patina. It could be a weight or a token. Diameter is 22 mm, thickness 3 mm. Object weighs 11.1g

DENO-6B1B62: WEIGHT
A lead alloy weight of uncertain date (Roman to post-medieval, AD 43 - 1800). It is circular in plan with two flat faces, One face is 29 mm in diameter, the other 27.5, creating a slightly conical profile, which could suggest it formed part of a clack valve or similar stopper system. Both faces are undecorated - there are scratches which are probably post-depositional. There is a slightly raised lump in the centre of the wider surface which could possibly be the remains of a lug, or just a casting flaw. The object is 6 mm thick and weighs 30.2 g, close to the mercantile ounce of 29.2 g.

DENO-DBF679: STRAP FITTING
A copper alloy snake-form belt hook of post medieval date (AD 1550 - 1700). It is S shaped and is zoomorphic, having the head of a snake or a bird at each end. The mouths and eyes of the heads are clearly defined, the eyes being of oval shape. Scales or possibly feathers are depicted on the necks, and there are two raised collars across the centre of the fastener, possibly representing bound wings. One end of the hook is secured via a ring to an elongate oval belt fitting. Both hook and fitting match illustrations in Bailey (1993, p 21). The hook is 41 mm long, 19 mm wide and 5mm thick. The fitting is 61 mm long, 19 mm wide and 4 mm thick. The combined object weighs 39.7g

DENO-DB2981: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper alloy post-medieval shoe or knee buckle (Ad c. 1690 - c. 1720) The sub rectangular frame is angled and drilled to take a separate spindle, now missing. A similar frame is illustrated in Whitehead (1996, p. 103, no. 663), shown with a stud chape. Overall, the buckle measures 21.9 mm long, 18.0 mm wide and 5.1 mm thick. It weighs 1.96 g.

DENO-DAE10C: BUCKLE
An incomplete copper alloy post-medieval chape, from a shoe buckle (c.AD 1690 to c. 1720). The frame of the chape is described as "cooking pot shaped" (broadly trapezoidal in shape, curving corners. The stump of a pin remains. The chape frame has an internal triangular spike. Overall, the chape measures 20.6 mm long, 24.9 mm wide and 6.7 mm thick.The frame is 2.3 mm thick. It weighs 4.09 g. The chape is a dark brown in colour, with an uneven patina. A buckle with a similar chape is illustrated in Whitehead (1996, p.103, no. 662). This type of chape is also illustrated as type V on page 96 (Whitehead, 1996). Whitehead suggests a date c. 1690-1720 for this type of chape. Other similar buckles and chapes have been recorded on the PAS database, including LVPL-616F05, SWYOR-7BE727, WMID-5074CF and WMID-67777E.

DENO-DA7B38: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy medieval buckle (AD c. 1350 - c. 1400), missing its pin. The buckle has a double oval frame. The loops are broadly symetrical and undecorated, the frame is slightly angled and broadly D-shaped in cross-section. Similar buckles are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, p. 83 and 86, figs 50 and 53) and dated to the late 14th century. The size suggests that this may have been a shoe buckle. Overall, the buckle measures 24.0 mm long, 19.8 mm wide and 3.4 mm thick. It weighs 2.64 g.

DENO-DA1E9B: BUCKLE
An incomplete cast copper alloy medieval buckle (AD c.1250 - c. 1400), missing its pin. The buckle is single looped with an oval frame with an ornate outer edge consisting of two lobed knops flanking three grooves. The strap bar is offset. A similar buckle is illustrated in Whitehead (1996, p. 22, no. 88) and dated to the 13th -14th centuries. Similar buckles are illustrated and discussed in Egan and Pritchard (1991: p. 73 and 76-7 figs. 44 and 46). Overall, the buckle measures 18.9 mm long, 18.9 mm wide and 3.5 mm thick. It weighs 2.97 g.

DENO-D9F6BB: RING
A cast copper alloy medieval to post-medieval ring (AD c. 1200 - c.1800), Plain rings, in the absence of pin or constrainsts, are open to several interpretations. They may have been part of horse-harness, or used for suspension of vessels, or as curtain-rings. The relatively thin frame makes it unlikely to be a harness fitting or bit ring. The frame has flat sides and bevelled outer edges. File marks can be seen on both sides. Overall, the ring measrues 25.2 mm in diameter and 1.9 mm thick. It has an internal diameter of 19.2 mm. It weighs 2.13 g

DENO-D9C80C: RING
A cast copper alloy medieval to post-medieval ring (AD c. 1200 - c. 1800). These are very common finds and may have had a variety of uses. They may have been part of horse-harness, or used for suspension of vessels, or as curtain-rings. They resemble annular brooches or buckles, but the pin is missing and there is no constriction for the pin. Both surfaces of the frame are flat and undecorated. The frame of this example has curved, slightly angular edges and flat sides. Overall, the ring measures 27.3 mm in diameter and 3.1 mm thick. The inner diameter is 18.2 mm. It weighs 5.5 g.

DENO-D80966: TOKEN
A cast lead uniface token or tally probably of post-medieval date. Possibly Powell type 2 (initials). The face shows a cross above the letters W and I. The object has a buff coloured patina. Diameter 20 mm, thickness 2 mm, weight 6.4 g.

DENO-D7BF60: TOKEN
A cast lead uniface token probably of medieval date. It has a plain cross with one large pellet in each quarter (Powell type 14, Baylis type 2) Many tokens seem influenced by 15th century coin design. Such cross and pellet tokens may represent a 'leaden attempt to increase the number of long cross coins in circulation' (Fletcher, p 40) but may be a later agricultural or trade token, influenced by the base silver farthings of Henry VIII. Diameter 19 mm, thickness 3 mm. Weight 6.9 g, .

DENO-487999: TOKEN
A cast and stamped lead alloy object, probably an agricultural tally or token of post medieval date (17th - 18th Century) The object is rectangular in plan and is stamped on one face with a design made from two overlapping Vs that form a W. Agricultural tallies were given to casual workers to acknowledge work done. The initials usually identified the farm or farmer. Generally they were circular, but rectangular examples are not uncommon. Alternatively, this could be a communion token; These were mostly used in Scottish churches, but were sometimes repurposed as poor tokens. Length 18 mm, width 16 mm, thickness 2 mm, weight 5.5 g.

DENO-4745AA: AMPULLA
An incomplete lead-alloy ampulla of medieval date, probably 13th century. The top of the object is missing. From comparison with similar objects on this database, this part would have consisted of the neck of the flask and probably two suspension lugs. What remains is a disc-shaped flask, bent and terminating in a ragged break, probably caused in antiquity, One face is decorated with a four-petalled flower. The other face is also decorated, showing a crown with a cross-hatched dome representing the inner lining, The crown is similar in design to the crown depicted on pilgrim badges associated with St Edward the Confessor (cf. Spencer 1998: p. 183-4, no. 202). The object has an even, light grey to buff coloured patina. Ampullae would have been used to hold a small amount of thaumaturgic liquid; holy water or water mixed with the blood or tears of a saint, dispensed at a shrine or holy well, and so were an important pilgrim souvenir. In its present condition the object measures 31.9 mm long, 30.7 mm wide and 10.3 mm thick. Unbent it would measure 6.3 mm thick. It weighs 18.98 g

DENO-46136B: TOKEN
A cast leaden alloy token of post-medieval date. The object is sub-circular and seems to be uniface; both surfaces are corroded and indistinct, but one face seems to have a central depression with a cruciform pattern within it (Powell type 14?).

A cast lead token possibly of post-medieval date. The token is sub-ovate in plan, and uniface. The design is indistinct, possibly initials and pellets, or an irregulal framework (Powel type 13?) Possible agricultural tally, 17th Century.

DENO-45AB41: THIMBLE
An incomplete cast lead-alloy palm-guard of post-medieval date (AD 1600 -1900). The object is a fragment from an ovate palm guard for leather working. It has one flat and one convex face. The convex face has a hexagonal depression,16 mm in diameter and 2 mm deep. Overall, the object measures 47.1 mm long, 41.8 mm wide and 7.9 mm thick. It weighs 58.3 g. A similar object is described in record NARC-8B37D9.

DENO-447EC6: SPEARHEAD
A fragment from the tip of a copper alloy spearhead, probably of the Middle Bronze Age, c. 1500 - c. 1100 BC. It has a pronounced midrib that extends to the tip, The blade edges are very worn and taper to a worn blunted point. The butt end terminates in what appears to be an ancient break. Overall, the shape is consistent with a side-looped socketed spear head, but not enough of the object remains for definite identification. The object may be the tip of a rapier - its cross-section is very similar to that of a rapier - but it is more likely to be the tip of a spearhead. The object has an even dark green patina, with some pitting and corrosion. Overall, the object measures 59.5 mm long, 14.8 mm wide (tapering to 3.7 mm at the tip) and 9.7 mm thick. It weighs 16.14 g. A similar object is recorded as WMID-B2794D

DENO-439791: TOKEN
A uniface lead token of medieval to post medieval date. The face shows a raised cross with a pellet in each angle (Powell class 2). The token is sub-oval in shape. The reverse has a central depression that is probably a casting flaw rather than a decorative feature. Cross and pellet tokens were probably influenced by medieval coin design, although some Tudor coins also had that motif. Suggested date 14th - 16th century.

DENO-8A441C: SPUR
A fragment of a copper alloy and iron early medieval to medieval probable composite prick spur (AD c. 1050 - c. 1150). It is formed from a copper alloy cone with fluted sides creating a septfoil cross-section. A corroded iron shank projects from the base. The pointed terminal of the cone is broken revealing the interior to be hollow. The copper alloy part features some decoration. Two of the seven longitudinal grooves are decorated with an incised zigzag line and two of the ridges that flank the grooves are decorated with transverse grooves. Several objects of similar construction on this database are identified as Roman studs or mounts, for example NMS 37A803. However, the object resembles the goad of a composite prick spur of 11th - 12th century date, e.g. HAMP-7660EC and SUR-301C41. The object may have had a long iron point projecting from the pointed end of the cone. The object is 18 mm long and has a diameter of 11 mm at the base. It weighs 6.40 g.

DENO-89592E: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Iron Age to Roman brooch (AD c. 25 - c. 60), Colchester one piece type, Group C. The catchplate and pin are missing. The head of the bow is broadly rectangular. From the back of the head projects the integral spring, which spirals towards one end and then runs along the front of the head towards the other end and then spirals towards the centre to form the pin The spring is held in place by a spring bar and a rear facing hook that also projects from the head of the brooch. The oval cross-sectioned bow tapers to a point at the foot. Overall, the brooch measures 38.6 mm in length, 14.5 mm wide and 15.9 mm thick. It weighs 5.20g. The length places it in Bayley and Butcher's Group C "small brooches" (2004, p 64).

DENO-87884B: COIN
A copper alloy Roman dupondius or as of an uncertain ruler, dating to the period AD 43-250. Uncertain reverse possibly depicting a standing figure. Uncertain mint.

DENO-87124F: SWORD
A copper alloy hilt or top guard from an early medieval, possibly Viking, sword or dagger (9th -11th Century AD). The object is gently curved in profile and pointed oval in plan, giving an over all boat-shaped appearance. There is a broadly rectangular perforation forming a slot for the tang of the blade, 14 mm x 7 mm. The exterior surfaces are undecorated and have a dark brown patina. The interior surfaces have a pale grey coating. Overall, the object measures 60.1 mm in length, 18.5 mm wide and 17.9 mm thick. It weighs 26.4 g. The Similar objects on this database include KENT-75F808 and LANCUM-C625C4

DENO-862F6A: SPUR
A fragment from a cast copper alloy prick or rivet spur of Roman date (AD c. 200 - c. 410). The fragment consists of one disc-shaped terminal and part of one arm. The terminal has a central perforation with a square-headed iron rivet in situ. The arm has a D-shaped cross-section and tapers from 7.0 mm wide and 3.8mm thick where it connects to the terminal to 5.2 mm wide and 3.5 mm thick at the break. There are traces of what may be decoration on the arm in the form of incised lines, but the surface is worn and has a heavy green patina. Overall, the objects measure 34.2 mm long, 15.5 mm wide and 5.6 mm thick. It weighs 4.7g. Similar objects on this database include LEIC-841C97 and YORYM-FDAD00. A Roman spur of a possibly similar type is descibed in Read (2001, p 59, no. 493).

DENO-20FC98: COIN
A silver Roman denarius of Hadrian (AD 117-138), dating to the period AD 134-138 (Reece Period 6). FELICITAS AVG reverse type, depicting Felicitas standing left holding caduceus and clasping right hands with Hadrian standing right. Mint of Rome. RIC II, p. 368, no. 237.

DENO-208ABE: COIN
An incomplete copper alloy contemporary copy of a Roman as of Claudius (AD 41-54), dating to the period AD 43-54 (Reece Period 2). Minerva reverse type depicting Minerva right, helmeted and draped, hurling javelin and holding round shield. .cf. RIC I, p.128, no.100. The coin is chipped and missing parts from the circumference. Robert Kenyon, following on from the work by the French scholars P-A. Besombes and M. Bompaire (in Trésors Monétaires XXI, 2005), is working through the British examples of Claudian coinage recorded through the PAS assigning many so-called Claudian contemporary copies to Roman auxiliary mints which operated at Lyons (Gaul) and in Spain. This example is a contemporary copy of those minted at the Lyon I, à la Grosse Tête, mint.

A fragment of a copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative (dolphin) brooch (AD c. 43 - c. 65). Only the head of the bow and one wing remain. The wing is semi-cylindrical, hollow on the reverse where it would have housed the spring. The front of the wing is decorated with two transverse bands of raised ridges. The head of the bow is decorated with central longitudinal groove. Similar forms and decoration are illustrated in Hattatt (1989: p. 298-9, fig. 157-8). Overall, the fragment measures 15.1 mm long, 21.9 mm wide and 18.5 mm thick. It weighs 6.30 g.

DENO-1F947A: VESSEL
A fragment from a copper alloy vessel of medieval to post-medieval date. The fragment is sub-triangular in shape and comes from the rim of the vessel. The interior surface is smooth, with a well-defined lip at the rim. The outer surface is slightly coarser with some pitting. The curvature at the rim suggests a wide vessel, with a radius of 240-260 mm. The walls are relatively thin at 3 mm. Possibly a laver. Cast copper-alloy vessels were in common usage c 1200 - 1700 AD, becoming superceded in the 18th century by cast-iron vessels.

DENO-1E2ADC: COIN
A silver post-medieval threepence of Elizabeth I. Cross initial mark, London (Tower) mint (AD 1578; North 1998)

DENO-1DB62A: COIN
A copper alloy Sestertius of Faustina the Younger under Marcus Aurelius (AD 161-180), dating to the period AD 161-176 (Reece Period 8). HILARITAS S C reverse type, depicting Hilaritas standing left, holding long palm and cornucopiae. Mint of Rome. RIC III, p. 345, no. 1642.

DENO-1CE87E: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman brooch of Colchester derivative, Polden Hill type (AD c. 75 - c. 175), missing the curl of the catchplate. The brooch is hinged. The brooch has short roughly cylindrical wings. The rear half of the wings is slightly recessed. The front half of the wings terminate with a raised double ridge. The terminal at the end of each wing is pierced. The wire of hinge bar projects through one of the holes and bends towards the head of the bow, where it passes twice through a globular stud to form a head loop. The wire would have re-entered the terminal of the other wing but has broken. The globular stud is now separate, attached only by the wire, but projections on the head of the brooch and base of the stud suggest it would have originally been attached. The bow is arched in profile and oval in cross-section, tapering towards a spherical terminal at the foot. On the rear is a ridge which extends to form the catch plate. The pin is still in place, attached to the rear of the hinge. The bow appears to be undecorated; there is some pitting and corrosion. The bow has a green patina. The object is 63 mm long; if the head stud had been in it's original position the overall length would probably have been circa 75 mm. Object weighs 20.03 g The wire head loop is normally seen on sprung brooches, especially trumpet brooches (cf. Hattatt, 1989, p.326-7, Fig. 185-6). A similar arrangement with a wire head loop on a hinged brooch is seen on a headstud brooch is illustrated in Bayley and Butcher (2004, p 96, fig 76 a). There are also headstud brooches like it on the PAS database (WMID-2F84A1 and DUR-BF7D64). However, this brooch lacks the characteristic headstud and rectangular cross-sectioned bow.

DENO-8D8E12: COIN
A copper alloy Roman radiate of an uncertain ruler, dating to the period AD 260 - 296. Uncertain reverse type, Uncertain mint.

A copper alloy contemporary copy of a Roman radiate (barbarous radiate) of Victorinus or Tetricus I (AD 269-274), dating to the period AD 275 - 285 (Reece Period 14). Uncertain reverse type depicting a female figure standing left, possibly holding a cornucopiae or vertical sceptre with an altar to the left, Uncertain mint.

DENO-8D7A0B: COIN
An incomplete copper alloy Roman radiate of Tetricus I or II (AD 271-274), dating to the period AD 271 - 274 (Reece Period 13). SPES AVGG or SPES PVBLICA reverse type, depicting Spes walking left, holding up skirt. Gallic mint.

A copper alloy Roman radiate of an uncertain ruler, dating to the period AD 260 - 296. Uncertain reverse type. Uncertain mint.

DENO-8CFAF1: COIN
An incomplete copper alloy Roman radiate of Claudius II (AD 268 - 270, dating to the period AD 268 - 270 (Reece Period 13). GENIVS AVG reverse type, depicting Genius standing left, holding patera in right hand over small altar, cornucopia in left hand. Mint of Rome. Cunetio 2126 This coin has been pierced, slightly off centre, by an iron rivet.

DENO-8C52EE: MOUNT
A complete cast copper bar mount of medieval date (AD c.1350 - c.1400). The object has a hemi-spherical central lobe with transverse grooves and two rounded terminal lobes with rivet holes. One rivet is still in situ. A very similar object is illustrated in Read (2001, p 23, fig 154). Length 18 mm, width 9mm, weight 1.1 g.

DENO-8C026D: WEIGHT
A lead weight of uncertain date. The form of the object suggests it could have been used as a loom weight, fishing sinker weight or a spindle whorl. It is cylindrical, with slightly rounded 'shoulders' at each end. A roughly circular perforation runs the length of the object, with a diameter of 9 mm. The object is 29 mm long and has an overall diameter of 23 mm. It weighs 73.4 g. The object is grey in colour with an unven patina. There are dents and scratches which are probably post-depositional damage. The object appears to be undecorated but there are two lateral lines on opposite sides, possibly from casting. Lead weights are difficult to date securely or assign to specific tasks without archaeological context, as they change very little and thus a wide date range is suggested.

DENO-8B95FD: THIMBLE
A cast lead object, probably a leather working palm guard. It is tear-drop shaped, and has one flat face, with a convex reverse. The surface is smooth, with a pale buff to green patina. Similar objects have been identified as Roman escutcheon filling; however, the smooth surface suggests this is more likely to be a palm-guard of medieval to post medieval date. Weight is 146 g. Length 52 mm, width 34 mm. Similar objects on this database include; BERK-4BFFEB, KENT-A90908, BERK-7BC1A2

DENO-8B1813: TOKEN
A uniface cast lead-alloy medieval or post-medieval token, probably of 15th or possibly 16th century date. It has a raised design consisting of an encircled cross with an elongated pellet in each quarter (a variant on Powell class 2) Cross and pellet designs on tokens were probably influenced by medieval hammered long and short cross coins, although they were also found on Tudor tokens (Fletcher 2005, p 45). Diameter is 24 mm, weight 11.2g

DENO-89DABE: FINGER RING
A complete copper alloy finger ring, probably of post-medieval date. The integrally cast elliptical bezel is decorated with incised paterns. The central motif is a lozenge withing a square with slightly concave sides. To either side of this are four roughly triangular wedges tapering down to the hoop. The band is thin, undercorated and has a rectangular cross-section. This is probably a piece of 'fairground ware' - relatively cheap jewellery produced in large numbers in the 18th - 19th century. Diameter is 19.5 mm. Width of the bezel: 8.2 mm; width of hoop: 2.0 mm. Thickness of bezel and hoop: 1.1 mm. Weight: 1.6 g.

An incomplete copper alloy Roman nummus of Constantine I (AD 306 - 337), dating to the period AD 313 - 315 (Reece Period 15). SOLI INVICTO COMITI reverse type depicting Sol standing left, raising right hand, globe in left. Mint of Trier. RIC VII, p. 168, nos 39-42. The flan is chipped in several places, with substantial cresent shaped pieces missing. Weight is 1.7 g. Diameter 19 mm, Thickness 1mm.

DENO-CF84B3: MOUNT
A copper alloy post-medieval mount with integral pointed lugs (AD c. 1600 - c. 1700). It is shaped something like a chess piece, with a rounded, convex base, a 'waist' which flares out into a second convex bulb and narrows again to a collared neck and finally a bulbous head. The reverse is hollowed and has three integral attachment spikes, the ones at the head and base are broken, revealling a square section, the middle one, which rises from the 'waist' of the object, is present but bent, still piercing and retaining what appears to be a fragment of leather. Similar convex mounts with integral attachment spikes are illustrated in Read (2001, p 35-6) and are dated to the 17th century. Overall, the object measures 41.7 mm long, 19.3 mm wide and 10,3 mm thick. It weighs 9.7 g.

DENO-CF2438: BUCKLE
A copper alloy pin from a buckle or possibly a brooch, probably of medieval to post-medieval date (AD c. 1300 - c. 1700). The pin is formed from a roughly lozenge-shaped strip of metal. One end tapers gradually towards the blunt-tipped terminal. The other end tapers and is curved over itself to form a loop which would have gone around the frame or bar strap bar. It has a flattened D-shape section. There are no signs of collar or ridges, but the surface is erroded. Similar pins are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991: 115). However this form of pin was in use for a long period and is difficult to date precisely.

DENO-CEAA7C: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman brooch, headstud type (AD c. 75 - c. 200). The foot end of the bow and the catch plate are missing. Two short wings retain the hinge bar and part of the pin (approx 11 mm) is still in situ. The wings are decorated with incised grooves. There is a small raised longitudinal ridge in the centre of the head of the bow. Just along from this is an oval headstud containing two concentric circular cells of blue enamel (the outer circular cell is missing most of its enamel). The bow terminates 12 mm below this in an old, abraded break. Overall, the object measures 26.9 mm long, 22.2 mm wide and 16.2 mm thick. It weighs 10.66 g

DENO-CE1DBB: COIN
A silver medieval penny of Edward I (AD 1272 - 1307). London mint (AD 1305 - 1307; class 10cf1 or 10cf2/2. North1040 or 1041).

A silver medieval halfpenny of Edward I. Bristol Mint (AD 1280: Class 3c-e; Withers Type 1; North 1045/1)

DENO-CBBC27: COIN
A silver post-medieval halfgroat of Charles I. Sun initial mark, Tower mint, under Parliament (AD 1645-6; Group D; North 2258). The coin has been clipped.

DENO-CB0804: COIN
A silver post-medieval sixpence of William III (AD 1694-1702). London (Tower) mint (AD 1696; Spink 3520).

DENO-664A74: TILE
Two pieces of ceramic tile. The fabric is uniform dark reddish orange. The larger piece begins to curve towards one edge. This could represent raised edge of a Roman roof tegula, or possibly the semi-cylindrical section of an imbrex which would have covered the joins of the tegula. However, the gentle curve at the end of one tile indicates that this could be a modern field drain. The typical thickness of these tile sherds is 24 mm.

DENO-65EC2C: ANIMAL REMAINS
Two pieces of animal long bone (possibly sheep) of uncertain date (although several items dated to the Roman and early-medieval periods were found at the same location). Both bones show signs of butchery, with knife and possibly saw marks. Both have breaks that could be associated with marrow extraction.

DENO-65CA36: VESSEL
Two sherds from wheel thrown Roman grey ware vessels. The lip forms are not identical, but fabrics are similar - uniform mid-grey with fine sandy inclusions and occasional large pale, quartzite inclusions.

DENO-658B62: VESSEL
A Roman base sherd from a flat-bottomed vessel or jar of shell-tempered coarse-ware. The base shows parallel marks suggesting the vessel was wheel thrown. Estimated diameter 100 -110 mm. Fabric: Core is reduced dark grey with profuse inclusions and sparse voids. Surface, dark grey: hard. Inclusions: crushed shell, >1 mm to 7 mm. Forming: wheel thrown. No visible decoration, wheel marks on base Form: Vessel or Jar Fragment: Base sherd

DENO-653382: VESSEL
Five sherds of Roman grey ware. Three rim sherds and two body sherds. Surface is uniform smooth dark grey , interior fabric is hard, red tinted with very sandy fine inclusions, Body sherds show decorative grooves and ridges.

DENO-64C6C7: WEIGHT
A cylindrical lead weight with an iron core, probably Roman in date. One end is formed by a cap of lead, sealing in the iron core, which emerges at the other end as a rusted plug - this would probably have formed a suspension loop for use on a steelyard. There are also two circular holes filled with iron on one side of the weight.Diameter 48 mm, height 63mm. Weight is 1083 g

DENO-647A37: WEIGHT
Six cast lead weights, probably of Roman date, possibly forming a set. All are roughly conical in shape, and considered together represent a sequence of size and weight, the largest being 46 mm high with a base diameter of 38 mm, weighing 265g, the smallest being 15 mm high, 20 mm diameter and weighing 29 g. The larger weights display indentations and grooves which may be due to accidental damage or may be connected with suspension from a steelyard in the absence of suspensdion loops, Two of the weights have rectangular holes in the base, all seem to have plugs in the base, suggesting adjustment. All the weights display some degree of damage, probably post depositional.

DENO-63E290: WEIGHT
A cast lead steelyard weight, probably of Roman date. Bi-conical in shape, the surface has marks and dents, some of which are probably post-depostional, caused by chewing by grazing animals. There is damage to the top of the weight, with a section missing, revealing rust stains which are the remains of the iron wire which would have formed a suspension loop. Diameter is 39 mm, height 43mm. Weight is 226 g

DENO-63BD72: WEIGHT
A cast lead steelyard weight, probably of Roman date. Bi-conical in shape, the surface has a dusty white patina covered in old dents and abrasions. At the top are two stumps of rectangular-sectioned copper alloy strip, these are remains of a suspension loop. Diameter is 34 mm, height is 38 mm, weight is179 g.

DENO-62D9AD: WEIGHT
A cast lead steelyard weight, probably of Roman date. Roughly spherical in shape, with a bulging 'waist'. There are dents and gashes at the base, patination suggest this is old damage. At the top there are two rusted stumps of iron wire, probably the remains of a suspension loop. Diameter is 37 mm, overall height 38 mm. Weight is 226 g.

DENO-629A42: WEIGHT
A small perforated cast lead weight, probably of Roman date. The object is slightly domed in shaped, roughly circular in plan with a central perforation 3 mm in diameter. The perforation does not appear to go the whole way through the weight. The surface has a pale grey patina. The weight is 15 mm in diameter and 5 mm thick. It weighs 7.4 g.

A cast lead spindle whorl or perforated weight, probably of early medieval date. The object is dome shaped, circular in plan with a central perforation 6-7 mm in diameter. The surface is undecorated. There are some incised marks which may be post depositional damage. The surface has a pale dusty white patina. The object measures 22 mm in diameter and 14 mm in thickness. Object weighs 35 g.

DENO-61E9AD: VESSEL
Six sherds of Roman pottery. Fine, uniform pale fabric suggests Nene Valley Ware, c 1st - 3rd Century AD. The sherds are worn and abraded. Two appear to be rim sherds, and there are small traces of a darker slip coating. Thickness 6 - 10 mm.

DENO-61B116: VESSEL
Five rim sherds from a Roman colour-coated vessel, possibly a mortarium. The fabric is uniform off-white with a few sparse voids and dark, silicate inclusions. Surfaces show lines from wheel throwing - it is not clear if these are deliberate decoration. One sherd has a concave indentation on the rim that is probably a finger or thumb mark from handling before firing. There are traces of brown slip coating on the inner surface. The curvature of the larger sherds suggests a diameter of 300-320 mm. These sherds are probably Nene Valley Ware; Nene Valley mortaria were first produced in AD c. 110, and production continued into the 4th century (Tyers 1996: 127-129).

DENO-616B8B: MORTARIUM
Ten sherds from a large mortarium, probably Nene Valley ware, The fabric is uniform off-white, with traces of a pale brown slip coating. The inner surface of the body sherds have been gritted with flakes of what appears to be crushed iron silicate slag. Two sherds are from the rim and show a thick (11mm) rolled lip, extending 26 mm from the wall. Nene Valley mortaria were first produced in AD c. 110, and production continued into the 4th century (Tyers 1996: 127-129). Typical thickness is 10 mm.

DENO-A775DE: VESSEL
A base sherd from an unglazed wheel-thrown vessel of medieval date (AD c. 1100 - c 1500). The fabric is hard, pale and has visible inclusions and small voids. The inner surface has an abraided light grey slip coating. The curvature of the wall of the vessel at the base suggests a diameter of 160 - 180 mm. The base is 11 mm thick, the wall 7 mm.
