WILT-D2A68B: BELL
An incomplete Post Medieval copper alloy crotal bell, dating to c. AD 1500-1700. Part of the top of the suspension loop is missing due to an old break, with only the two lugs and part of the crossbar remaining. The upper and lower hemisphere of the bell is divided by a prominent rib. At either side of the suspension loop (about half way down the side of the upper hemisphere) is a sound hole which is 5mm in diameter, although one is smaller due to corrosion products obscuring the aperture. Two sound holes in the lower hemisphere are integral with the sound "slit". The upper part of the bell was probably originally decorated with a repeated sunburst pattern but this is now barely visible, due to wear, corrosion and a dent in the surface of the bell. Decoration on the lower part of the bell is in the form of six leaf motifs (three either side of the sound "slit"), obscured by corrosion in places. These leaves point downwards. However, the central leaf on one side is superimposed with a shield-shape moulding enclosing a "T"-shaped symbol which may represent a founder's hammer, or initial. The sound "pea", sub-circular in form, remains intact within the bell and this appears to be made of iron. Dimensions: Height: 36.8mm; diameter: 30.8mm; weight: 21.89g.

WILT-D2A374: SEAL MATRIX
An incomplete post-Medieval copper alloy 'fob dangler' from a seal matrix dating to c. AD 1750-c. AD 1850. The intaglio or matrix and its holder are missing. The body is symmetrical in plan with an attachment loop (now slightly bent) at the top. The body is C shaped in plan, with a beehive-shaped central element (with evenly spaced parallel horizontal ridges for decoration) joining both sides of the C at each terminal and below the centre of the frame and suspension loop. Each terminal has a lobe at the base. The lobes would have originally been attached to the missing holder. There are traces of gilding decorating each face and the loop. Dimensions: Height: 26.5mm; width: 23.0mm; thickness: 1.2mm; weight: 2.51g. No exact parallel found. See WILT-56D514 and IOW-0B9D99 for other roughly similar fob danglers.

WILT-C40B08: ARCHITECTURAL FRAGMENT
A fragment of Post Medieval stone pillar capital, dating to c. AD 1550-1700. The find part of a circular ribbed capital with a flat base. Above the ribbing is a circular band and at the top of the capital there appears to be a layer of cement with a small, flat sherd of slate which has become stuck in the mixture. Towards the centre of the capital, the stone steps down to the remains of a semi-circular ledge, and down again to a narrower ledge. Just below the centre of this is a vertical groove as though for a support to be placed within in order to attach the capital to the pillar. The base of the pillar also has the remains of cement. The capital is crudely carved and may have been made locally. The stone is quite weathered and the ribbed decoration is damaged in places. The cement is peeling off in some places. The capital was found in a collapsed drystone wall, so appears to have been discarded and reused elsewhere. Dimensions: Length: 340.0mm; width: 210.0mm; height: 150.0mm; weight: approximately 9070.00g Nicholas Riall notes, 'I think you are correct to identify this piece as a capital, if of an unusual type and purpose. (The) Bottom corners of Shute's book (dated 1563) features small pedestals with flat tops and ribbed capitals. Taking this a step further, one might use this part of the design to create a garden ornament such as a sundial or maybe a fountain or water-type feature, or an urn-type feature. Failing that, a lost 'formal' gateway. Date. Pretty coarse looking work, so likely to be local. I'd not think it was from a funeral monument but it might be. So - as to date, I'd suggest later C16, better C17, perhaps C18'. Julian Orbach notes, 'I looked through my photos of Wiltshire church monuments as they often have unconventional semi-classical detail and I did find just one parallel, the Seagar monument at Bromham, death date 1618. This has capitals with similar detail, but on a much smaller scale'. He adds, 'I think that the tower of the orders in the courtyard of the Bodleian in Oxford has capitals with a kind of bobble (egg?) ornament in the Roman Doric of the second of the five stages, but the photos I have are not too clear. It dates from 1613'.

WILT-33B824: VESSEL
A fragment of Early Medieval (Late Saxon) ceramic vessel, dating to c. AD 900-1000. The pottery sherd is Michelmersh type. It is thin-walled, oxidised with stamped, applied strip decoration. The applied strip appears to be in the form of an X shape and are motifs of four dots, unevenly spaced, pricked into the strip. Dimensions: length: 52.2mm; width: 43.2mm; thickness: 7.6mm; weight: 24.79g. This is a wheel-thrown Late Saxon type of pottery. Found outside a rabbit hole. Lorraine Mepham notes that it is 'Interesting to get an example from Durrington, no other ceramic evidence from there of Late Saxon occupation as far as I know'.

WILT-241F48: STRAP END
An incomplete Late Roman copper alloy strapend, dating to c. AD 350-400. Probably part of an amphora-shaped strapend of continental manufacture. The find has a sub-triangular flared open end with central rivetted terminal. Around the rivet hole is a ring and dot motif, consisting of two incised circles, the fields of which are both decorated with asymmetrical transverse lines, those in the larger field are in a sub-spiral shape. There are flanking peltate or 'kidney-shaped' handles, but only part of one of these on the left hand side remains due to an old break. As the handle curves into the neck of the strapend, it is decorated with small 'C' shaped incisions giving the impression of scales. As the handle widens out, it has a ring and dot motif as decoration at this point. As the handle curves outwards, there is a further ring and dot motif, giving the appearance of two zoomorphic (possibly snakes') heads meeting at this point. The handle terminates at this point due to an old break, as does the strapend itself. Only a stub of the handle remains on the right hand side. The neck of the strapend is decorated with an incised median line of tiny dots which curves upwards and outwards towards the open end of the find. The median line has small, slightly curved incisions either side of it as further decoration. The incisions to the right are each joined to the median line, but those to the left are not connected and have been made slightly further from the median line. The reverse is undecorated. Dimensions: Length: 25.1mm; width: 17.0mm; thickness: 4.5mm; weight: 5.49g. Further examples can be seen in the study by Bishop and Coulston ( (2006:218-219), although with slight differences in shape and decoration. These types are associated with fourth century Dominate belt-furniture. Although not common in Britain (from stratified contexts), examples are known such as one from the Winchester Lankhills cemetery, for instance. They belong to the type of belt with 'propeller' stiffeners similar to a complete set from Zengovarkarhony. They seem to have been worn with the tongue of the buckle facing the wearer's right hip, which meant the strap terminal ended up dangling on the left hip, after being wrapped around the belt a few times. cf. Appels and Laycock (2007: 251). Fig. SL13.12 for an example with ring and dot motif. Similar examples on the PAS database include: WILT-B0F593, NMS-245A03 and SF-D4B1EC.

WILT-225C76: KNIFE
A complete Late Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper alloy scale handled knife pommel, dating to c. AD 1400-1600. The find has a symmetrical bifurcate top with a banded base. The pommel takes the form of two addorsed zoomorphic heads which look reptilian, possibly may be snakes or frogs as they have protuberant eyes, large nostrils and wide, slightly open mouths. A shallow wedge-shaped slot is present on the underside to attach to a knife tang, but there is no ferrous corrosion underneath, suggesting the knife may not have been finished (K. Leahy, pers. comm.) . Dimensions: Height: 12.8mm; width: 15.3mm; thickness: 7.6mm; weight: 5.75g. See NLM-0EAF94 on the PAS database for a similar find. Thanks to Dr K Leahy with dating this find.

WILT-12325A: COIN WEIGHT
A complete Post Medieval copper alloy double sided coin weight of James I for a Rose Ryal 2nd edition coin dated to AD 1603 - 1625. The coin weight is sub-square in plan and the obverse depicts a shield with the British coat of arms over a rose within a circular border of pellets. The reverse depicts the Roman numerals XXXII(I) with a crown above and letter 's' below. There is a small, crowned 'C' countermark stamped in the top left corner of the reverse. Dimensions: Height: 19.7mm; width: 19.5mm; thickness: 4.8mm; weight: 13.18g. Withers and Withers (1995) illustrate a similar coin weight for a Rose Ryal of James I for the 2nd coinage revalued. The original weight was 213 gr = 13.8 grams.

WILT-11324E: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
An incomplete Beaker Period of the Late (final) Neolithic to Middle Bronze Age barbed and tanged flint arrowhead, dating to c. 2400-1100 BC. The arrowhead is sub-triangular in plan, formed from a tertiary flake of pale brown flint. It is bifacially worked with covering, scaled, low angle retouch, over the whole of the dorsal surface. Two notches chipped into the base separate the barbs and tang, although one of the barbs is missing due to an old break. Dimensions: length: 28.3mm; width: 18.8mm; thickness: 5.9mm; weight: 1.97g. cf: Green's (1980) Kilmarnock type (l).

WILT-0F9D7E: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
An incomplete Beaker Period of the Late (final) Neolithic to Middle Bronze Age barbed and tanged flint arrowhead, dating to c. 2400-1100 BC. The arrowhead is sub-triangular in plan, formed from a tertiary flake of pale brown/grey almost translucent flint. It is bifacially worked with invasive, scaled, low angle retouch, which does not cover the whole of the dorsal surface, as though the arrowhead has not been finished. There is a tiny amount of patination to white on the outer edge of the slightly curved barb. Two notches chipped into the base separate the barbs and tang, although one of the barbs is missing due to an old break. Dimensions: length: 32.2mm; width: 24.8mm; thickness: 5.4mm; weight: 3.68g. cf: Green's (1980) Sutton C type (l).

WILT-A39994: FINGER RING
A complete probable Post Medieval copper alloy finger ring dating to c. AD 1600-1900. The find is circular in plan with eight stamped, rectangular panels, each with a border and divided by a straight, vertical line. Each of the panels has a floral design, possibly showing a fleur de lis, but the find is in a very worn condition, so the motifs are obscured. There may be a maker's mark stamped inside the hoop but this is now illegible. Dimensions: Diameter: 19.2mm; width: 4.9mm; thickness: 1.00mm; weight: 1.95g. cf: GAT-9847EC, LANCUM-12126D found in the North West of England which may be similar versions this finger ring.

WILT-F1B64E: DRESS FASTENER (DRESS)
An incomplete Post Medieval cast copper alloy openwork dress fastener, dating to c. AD 1600-1750. The find is the 'eye' half of a hook and eye fastener. The main body of the find is heart-shaped in plan with two small lobes above the heart. The rectangular loop which would have been above the two lobes in order to accept the clasp, is now missing, due to an old break. There is a trilobed projection into the centre of the heart at its apex. At the base of the heart is a short, rectangular crossbar above a lozenge shaped projection that is pierced with a circular hole probably for attaching to a garment. Dimensions: Length: 30.7mm; width: 22.5mm; thickness: 1.1mm; weight: 2.51g. An identical object also with the loop broken off is SUSS-EC7CE1 which has been identified as a strap fitting. A complete example is SWYOR-E8B2B1 which is identified as a dress fastener. A parallel can be found in Read (1998, 122; ref. 7) that is there described as a 17th-century wall or furniture hook. It is also possible these objects are suspension mounts or pendants of some kind.

WILT-F1A0F2: WEIGHT
A lead object, probably a weight, of unknown date, probably Medieval to Post Medieval, dating to c. AD 1200-1800. The object is sub-spherical in plan with a sub-circular central perforation. This aperture is narrower on the lower, flatter face than the upper face. Dimensions: Diameter: 17.0mm; height: 11.3mm; weight: 17.56g. It is often suggested that objects of this shape are beads or net or line weights for fishing. Small spindle whorls are also a possibility but the central perforation is probably too small on the lower face for such a purpose.

WILT-F18A84: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A copper alloy unidentified object - a possible gaming piece, possibly Medieval to Post Medieval, possibly dating to c. AD 1200-1700. The find is sub-circular in plan, worn, and has a design of random pellets and crossed lines on the obverse face. The reverse has an indentation as though it has been stamped but it is not possible to discern any design on this face. Dimensions: Length: 17.2mm; width: 15.8mm; thickness: 4.9mm; weight: 8.55g.

WILT-F16BC4: TOBACCO HOLDER
A Post Medieval lead alloy knop from the lid of a tobacco jar dating to c. AD 1625-1800. The find is an oval octofoil with moulded petals around a central boss which has a lined border. This is mounted on a waisted stalk with rivet which fitted to the jar lid. Dimensions: Length: 22.5mm; width: 15.4mm; thickness: 15.2; weight: 12.61g. There are a number of these recorded on the PAS database including NLM-8870D1, SUR-85D917 and WMID-F38271. The record for the latter, written by Tessa Gilmore, states 'Similar examples are illustrated in G Bailey's 'Finds identified', 2000, page 62, which he dates to the middle of the 17th century and states that the lead boxes were used to keep moist tobacco inside. It is likely that this form of tobacco jar is popular into the late 18th century.'

WILT-A8D6A3: COIN
A Medieval silver voided longcross cut halfpenny of Henry III (AD 1216-1272), dating to AD 1248-50. Class 3bc. Moneyer is Nicole. Mint of Canterbury or London. North (1994: 226), no. 987/1.

WILT-A83ED6: COIN
A pierced Post Medieval silver half penny of Charles I (AD 1625-1649), dating to AD 1625-49. Obverse and reverse feature a rose, no legends. North (1991: 163) No. 2274.

WILT-82A9B7: PENDANT
An incomplete Post Medieval silver pendant dating to c. AD 1700-1800. The find is cruciform in plan, with a suspension loop soldered to the top and the reverse of the cross. The top of the pendant is slightly bent at an angle, and the lower part of the central arm of the cross is missing, due to old damage. There are two reddish pink coloured, faceted, oblong gems or glass inset uniformly set into recessed cells of each arm of the cross, although part of the second and fourth gem from the central arm are now missing. The second stone of the horizontal right half of the arm is damaged. In the centre of the cross is a orange-pink faceted oblong gem or glass inset, also damaged. The reverse is undecorated and there is no evidence of a maker's mark or hallmark on the find. Dimensions: Length: 16.5mm; width: 13.3mm; thickness: 1.6mm; weight: 0.51g. Thanks to Judy Rudoe and Sabrina Villani of the British Museum for their assistance in dating this find. This find is not classed as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 as it is less than 300 years old.

WILT-829348: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A fragment of copper alloy in two parts of uncertain date or purpose. It may be a ferrule and may be Bronze Age to Post Medieval in date. Fragment 1 is curved, sub-circular in cross section and has an almost solid core, although a separate, thin central core is in evidence, which can just be seen at each end of the find. This also appears to be of copper alloy. The find has a pale green patina and some corrosion products adhering to it. Fragment 2 is similar in shape, although it is a shorter fragment, has a solid core, but does not have the separate thin central core of Fragment 1, so both fragments may not be from the same object. Fragment 2 is slightly darker in colour with corrosion products in evidence. Fragment 1, length: 53.3mm: width: 14.8mm; weight: 49.49g. Fragment 2: Length: 29.4mm; width: 12.9mm; weight: 22.10g.

WILT-827174: BEAD
A complete cast copper alloy biconical bead probably dating from the Bronze Age to Medieval period (c.2500 BC-AD 1500). The object is torus shaped in plan with a circular perforation. The inner edges of the perforation are slightly convex and the outer edges of the hoop angled to form a central apex. The surface has a grey-green patina. Diameter: 24.3mm; thickness: 8.1mm; weight: 15.54g. Beads of this kind are difficult to date outside of excavated contexts. As noted by Dr Ed Caswell in the record for OXON-773ADD, 'Without doing a comparative analysis of the alloy used in their manufacture, dating of this sort of bead is problematic as they are found in the archaeological record associated with sites dating from the Bronze Age to Medieval'.

WILT-6D9F1B: FINGER RING
A complete Late Post Medieval gold finger ring, dating to c. AD 1800-1850. The hoop of the ring is slightly sub-circular in plan. The bezel has an orange/red glass sub-circular setting, with a slight blemish within the glass. The shoulders of the ring are decorated with a possible foliate design, but this is difficult to distinguish. The hoop has some old damage and there is a seam showing on the exterior of the hoop, caused during the manufacturing process. The interior of the hoop has a folded seam which is particularly in evidence at the base of the hoop, plus there are striations in the gold, presumably also caused during manufacture. There is no evidence of a hallmark or maker's mark. Dimensions: Height: 19.6mm; Diameter of hoop: 18.4mm; length of bezel: 5.3mm; 5.7mm; thickness: 1.4mm; weight: 1.77g Judy Rudoe, Curator at the British Museum, dates this ring to the first half of the 19th century.

WILT-033D68: INGOT
A probable Late Medieval to Post Medieval copper alloy (brass) 'ingot', dating to c. AD 1500-1700. The find appears to be metal melted in a crucible that solidified before it was poured out into a mould. Dimensions: Height: 72.4mm; diameter (top): 88.3mm; diameter (base) 59.0mm; weight (from finder): 2663.7g. The finder has had the contents analysed and are as follows: Cu 80.7%; Zn 16.4%; Fe 1.2%; Pb 0.7g. Brasses of varying compositions were widely used from the Roman period onwards, and are still in use today, so the compositional details provided by the finder cannot be used to suggest a date without further information on the presence/absence of elements for which no data has been provided. The shape suggests a late- or post-medieval date is most likely' (J. Bayley pers. comm.)

WILT-9BCA28: PROCESSIONAL CROSS
An incomplete Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval cast copper alloy figurine of the Virgin Mary, from the side arm of a processional cross, dating c. AD 1400 - 1530. The find depicts a female standing figure, looking slightly right, hooded and wearing a long robe. The right elbow bent and right hand clasped to the breast. The left arm is incomplete but is outstretched at the elbow. The reverse of the figure appears plain, but any moulding may be masked by corrosion products. The figure is standing on a sub-rectangular base with two engraved grooves around it forming a collar. Integrally below the base, and projecting out to the right of the figure, is a flat frame set with openwork foliage decoration. The frame is now slightly warped and broken, due to old damage. A small trefoil projects from the top of the frame, just to the right of a break in the frame. A trace of gilding is in evidence on the reverse of the trefoil. The frame is decorated with an incised line running along the outer edge, a line along the inner edge and two narrow, parallel lines running through the centre. The frame tapers slightly towards on the vertical side and terminates at a slight angle, but does not appear to have been broken off at this point. The other side of the frame leads down in a curve, below the figurine and this side of the frame has a further three trefoils, evenly spaced, projected at a slight angle from the outer edge of the frame, although the third one is slightly larger than the others and inclines more towards the frame than the others. This side of the frame appears to be a plant stem or branch as it curves around to the centre of the frame and sprouts eight pointed openwork leaves, which each touch the inner frame. The end of the branch terminates in an openwork trefoil which originally touches the inner frame too but no longer, due to old damage. Tiny traces of gilding are in evidence on the find and corrosion products adhere to it, particularly the figurine, unfortunately making an accurate identification of the figurine very difficult. Dimensions: Overall height: 153.3mm; height of figure (incl. base): 92.2mm; width of figure: 28.6mm; thickness of figure (at broken arm): 14.7mm; height of frame: 88.3mm; width of frame: 82.1mm; thickness of frame: 6.0mm; weight: 282g. This figurine of the Virgin Mary may originally have been from a crucifixion group and designed to stand on one side of a crucifix (with St John The Evangelist on the other side). See PUBLIC-92405A for a probable Virgin Mary figurine with a similar stance. An almost complete example of a processional cross from Glastonbury can be seen in the British Museum collections: processional cross | British Museum. A small number of superficially similar examples have been reported to the PAS with dates within in the c. AD 1250-1530 range, thus a wide date has been given for this example. See: WILT-3E4001, DOR-1CC614, SWYOR-7C6154, ESS-5CD8F0, ESS-0426E4 and ESS-CE7F01. The overall style of this example likely puts it in the latter period of this chronological spread likely, 15th/16th century.

WILT-9AB6C7: SEAL MATRIX
A complete Medieval copper alloy personal seal matrix, dating to c. AD 1200-1300. The find is flat, pointed oval in plan, and has a suspension lug on the reverse for suspension and orientation, and a raised rib. The central design shows a woman holding a child: the crowned Virgin Mary, facing, also wearing a wimple and seated on a four legged stool. She holds a circular object, possibly an an orb, by the infant, Jesus, who is looking left towards her. There is a cross hatched lozenge and and pellet design as the background, and a beaded line around the central design. The line is interrupted below the central design by the figure of a cleric, facing right, possibly kneeling, with hands raised in prayer. He is depicted beneath a pointed roof and may be the owner of the seal matrix. The inscription reads: + S ' WALTERI : CAPELLI . AVE . MA meaning 'The seal of Walter, chaplain, Hail Ma(ry)'. The find has some slight damage to the edges and reverse. Dimensions: Length: 33.1mm; width: 22.1mm; thickness (incl lug): 7.4mm; weight: 10.25g. A similar depiction of the Virgin Mary and Child can be seen on DUR-BAFF71 and WMID-679818 on the PAS database.

WILT-9A20D5: COIN
A complete Iron Age gold stater of of the Catuvellauni, attributed to Addedomaros, struck between 50 BC-AD 10. Addedomaros Spiral type. Obverse: Six-armed wreath spiral, three crescents at centre. Reverse: Horse right, possible cornucopia motif below (but this is unclear) and inscription [ADDIIDOM] above. ABC Type 2517.

WILT-62AA07: TILE
A fragment of Roman box ceramic flue tile or voussoir block, dating to c. AD 43-410. The find is sub-square in plan, with an orange, oxidized outer surface and combed decoration, making six partial arcs. The inner surface is light grey in colour, with some voids (largest is 2.7mm x 2.3mm) as though organic matter was included in the clay. Well-sorted, sub-angular probable flint inclusions are present too, of an intermediate frequency and up to 1.5mm in length. Dimensions: length: 18.4mm; width: 14.9mm; thickness: 5.9mm; weight: 2.0g. Rachael Seager Smith of Wessex Archaeology, comments, '(the find is) a very small piece of the original, so probably represents often-moved waste incorporated into material taken out of the areas of habitation to manure agricultural fields - and it has moved through the soil profile ever since'.

WILT-4A3FDA: MOUNT
A complete Medieval copper alloy 'simple' bar mount, dating to c. AD 1250-1350. The find is rectangular in plan, and decorated on the surface with two parallel grooves to the long end, which have the reminas of a crimped design on the outer edges of the mount. The two rivets are still in situ and the shanks of the rivets, which are slightly angled towards each other, can be seen on the reverse of the find. The reverse of the find is flat and undecorated. Dimensions: Length: 10.4mm; width: 5.5mm; thickness: 1.1mm; weight: 0.37g. Similar mounts are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991: 209, 212, fig.133) and are described as being “normally attached transversely in rows on straps, usually evenly spaced, and generally spanning the full length of the leather”. Examples are known from contemporary depictions on men’s waist and sword belts as well as horse harness straps. See YORYM-21A225 and SUSS-9367F1 for similar examples on the PAS database.

WILT-0B506B: SPOON
A fragment of Post Medieval copper alloy spoon dating to c. AD 1600-1725. The object consists of the partial bowl and partial handle. The bowl is oval in plan and concave. The stem terminates shortly after it extends from the bowl, in a worn break. The underside, which is convex, shows the remains of a 'rat tail' triangular attachment piece, which is stepped and raises to form the end of the stem of the spoon. Dimensions: length: 30.4mm; width: 18.8mm; thickness: 1.7mm; weight: 2.00g. Comparable examples recorded on the PAS database with a similar 'rat tail' motif include: ESS-6F24B9 and IOW-C234AE.

WILT-0B1A92: BUCKLE
A complete Post Medieval cast copper alloy oval probable shoe or knee buckle with drilled frame for separate spindle, dating to c. AD 1660-1720. The buckle frame is narrow and curved, rising up at the points where the frame has been drilled. Only a central line around the frame remains of any decoration. The iron spindle and pin are still extant but heavily corroded into place. Dimensions: length: 27.8mm; width: 31.7mm; thickness: 1.3mm; weight: 3.18g. cf. Whitehead (1996: 97), number 600.

WILT-0ABDE7: BUCKLE
An incomplete Post Medieval cast copper alloy double loop oval buckle with moulded floral decoration, dating to c. AD 1550-1650. The buckle frame has moulded and incised trefoil decoration on the outer edge of each loop and at end end of the strap bar. Part of the outer edge of one loop is missing due to an old break. The pin is also missing. Traces of rust on the buckle suggest the pin was made of iron. Dimensions: length: 27.6mm; width: 39.9mm; thickness: 2.8mm; weight: 3.63g. A similar buckle can be seen in Whitehead (1996: 65), number 401.

WILT-D2341E: BUCKLE
A Late Medieval to early Post Medieval copper alloy double loop oval buckle with cusped outer edges, dating to c. AD 1450-1600. The buckle frame has four filed grooves on each loop giving the frame a cusped appearance. The pin is missing but traces of rust on the buckle suggest the pin was made of iron. Dimensions: length: 21.0mm; width: 30.0mm; thickness: 2.9mm; weight: 3.67g.

WILT-AD13C9: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy strip brooch, dating to c. AD 40-50. Mackreth DURO type 5b. The brooch comprises the head, bow, and most of the catchplate. The pin is missing. The remainder of the brooch is formed of a single flat strip which splays out towards the rounded bottom. The strip was originally curved around at the top to form the head and hold the pin, but the head has straightened out slightly now, due to old damage. The bow is narrow and flat, and straight, only curving up slightly towards the head. The brooch is decorated with transverse lines on the wings. There is an incised central vertical line and and a central vertical line either side of this. Dimensions: Length: 46.9mm; width: 16.8mm; thickness: 1.3mm; weight: 3.24g. cf. Mackreth (2011: 104) pl. 101, no. 6681

WILT-72D5D0: STRAP FITTING
A complete Late Medieval- Early Post Medieval copper alloy strap fitting, in the form of a jester's head, dating to c.AD 1400-1600. The strap fitting is cast in the form of a jester's head, moulded in high-relief. It has lentoid eyes with a sub-triangular nose and a horizontal groove representing the mouth. The head has a tight hood which forms a border around the face and has a central knop protruding over the forehead. There are two pointed, vertical ears protruding from either upper 'corners' of the head. The ears are defined by a lentoid shaped cell with a 'V' shaped profile. The reverse of the ears are flush with the reverse of the object. Integral to the upper edge of the head is a hook which arises above the head and curves up and over the back of the head, and, although slightly off-centre, reaches the reverse of the jester's body, where the hook terminates in a slight upwards bend. The is slight damage to the very tip of the strap. Integral to the lower edge of the head is a collar with three arms. The two outer projections are semi-circular in section and terminate with a circular knop, perhaps imitating a bell. The central protrusion, which is a vertical decorative mounting point, is sub-rectangular with a rounded lower edge. This terminal has a sub-circular hole which is 5.5mm diameter. The hole’s frame is bent backwards slightly, probably due to old damage. The off-set portion of the central protrusion is decorated with a low-relief ‘X’ on the outward looking face. The reverse of the object is hollow / concave. Overall, the object has a light green patina with patches of brown. Dimensions: Length 50.0mm; width (across ears) 33.7mm; width (head) 26.1mm; thickness (including strap) 24.0mm; weight 26.06g. Similar strap fittings have been recorded on the PAS database: LVPL-AA61D3, NMS-CF0265, LVPL-861A37; WMID-2E3DA5 and WAW-406321, but this is the only example which still has the strap fitting still in situ and as such, it is recorded as a Find of Note. Dr Rob Webley kindly notes a further example: Kelly, 1987, 364-365, fig. 9, 1, no. 3. The comments that the late Geoff Egan (NFA Medieval and Post Medieval artefacts) made on the example recorded as WAW-406321 are as follows: “I think this jester is, ... end of Medieval/16th century. Not only the patina but the form of what may be a 'strap end' (for a very special costume) or if too large for that some kind of attachment, perhaps actually to a fool's bauble. Jesters seem to have got into the repertoire of general motifs around that time - on ceramic whistles and knife handles.” The book 'The Ship of Fools' appeared in English in 1509 and may have contributed to this popularity. Rob Webley comments that this joins a group of seven others reported from England, and four from France and it is now suggested that they functioned as a suspender (châtelaine, clavendier) - for keys and/or further accoutrements (pers.comms. July 2022). See: Medieval Archaeology 2007, 51, pp. 227-229, fig. 6a. Ref: Kelly, D. B., 1987, Archaeological notes from Maidstone Museum, Archaeologia Cantiana, 104, 350-367.

WILT-C8C11C: COIN
An incomplete copper-alloy and silver imitation of an early medieval silver penny of Æthelred II (AD 978-1016), Second Hand type (North 768), dating to c. AD 985-991, mint and moneyer uncertain owning to condition of coin. Ref: North 1994: p.158. The coin is an imitation rather than an official issue comprising a thin silver layer over a base metal core, probably of copper-alloy. The silver on the reverse of the coin is now missing removing any design and inscription which it once held. The style and execution of the coin's design is comparable to known finds and it is probable that the find is a contemporary imitation although it remains possible that it may be more modern. In support of the interpretation of this find as a conptemporary imitation is an example found in Much Hadham (Hertfordshire) of a Intermediate Small Cross type produced in a very similar fashion using two very thin sheets of silver or silver alloy around a base metal core, in this case a lead or lead alloy (Dolley 1955: 186-7). Dolley noted the rarity of evidence for such forgery and this present find appears to be the first plated Late Saxon coin recorded by the PAS.

WILT-4F4FAA: CANNON BALL
A Post Medieval solid iron shot or cannon ball, probably from the Civil War, dating to c. AD 1600-1750. The object is spherical in form and was probably cast but no casting seam is visible. Although some light pitting can be seen in some area of the surface, the find is in very good condition. and there is no damage to suggest it has ever been fired. Dimensions: diameter: 75.8mm; weight: 1781.0g (3.92lbs). This diameter corresponds to the Imperial measurement for the second smallest 17th century cannon, the Saker, which was approximately a 3 1/4 to 3 3/4 inch bore. The name "Saker" derives from a falcon, and this medium sized cannon could have been manipulated relatively easily. They were popular during the Civil War, particularly during sieges. The Saker fired solid iron shot which did not explode on impact, but would bounce along the ground until it crashed into an object.The Saker was suspended in the early 18th century after the formalisation of cannon sizes under Borgard, when the previous "Gunner's Law" was discarded in favour of standardisation. This cannon ball was found in a back garden near to St James Church, Devizes, which played a part in the Civil War: 'On 11 and 12 July 1643, during the Siege of Devizes: the castle and town were bombarded by parliamentary guns and there was hand to hand fighting as far into town as Morris Lane. St. John's Church was store for gunpowder and this became a target during the siege. During the Civil War cannon balls also hit St. James Church. The holes can still be seen on the tower. The cannon ball holes are on the east side of the tower, bottom left and top right. These cannon balls are in the Wiltshire Museum, Devizes. They are made of iron and weigh 1.011 and 1.147 kg respectively (two and half pounds in old money). The Parliamentary army's guns, Falcon field guns, were situated in Coatefield somewhere near the old Jump Farm. They were firing at Devizes including St. James which presumably was part of theTown defences. This was on Wednesday 12th July 1643, the day before the Battle of Roundway'. (Battle of Roundway (devizesheritage.co.uk) accessed 05/05/2023). See other examples on the PAS database, including DENO-E7C59A, DEV-1E671E and DENO-691482.

WILT-7DBE98: BUCKLE
An incomplete zoomorphic Medieval copper-alloy tubular buckle frame dating from c. AD 1100 - 1200. The loop of the buckle frame is incomplete as the offset bar and pin are missing, due to an old break. The outer edge of the frame expands to a large zoomorphic head, perhaps intended to depict a dog, bear or similar animal. The buckle frame projects from the lower edge at the back of the head. The back face of the head itself is smooth and almost flat, with no decoration. It has a small circular perforation or rivet hole.This is moulded into the shape of an animal head with a gaping mouth. The head is hollow, oval shaped in section and with an oval shaped aperture at the outer edge forming the mouth of the animal. The front face has cast decorative elements that give the face its form. At the inner edge is a raised brow with transverse grooves behind and small projecting upright ears, each with a small perforation in front of them. The animal has deeply set lentoid eyes with hollowed out, but not perforated, pupils. It has a short snout that has transverse moulded ridges and upturned nose with some slight damage. Beneath the snout is an undecorated open oval shaped mouth, presumably through which the strap would originally have passed. Dimensions: Length: 30.4mm; width: 21.2mm; height: 19.3mm; weight: 16.28g. Similar buckle frames are noted on the PAS database: SF-E1A115, SWYOR-B57064, ESS-407791, NMS-4A6DC4 and LEIC-385BD8. This type of buckle has been studied by A. Rogerson and S. Ashley, who have christened it the 'gaping-mouth beast' buckle. It is the subject of an article in Medieval Archaeology (2011). They consider that the head is of Romanesque appearance and so a 12th-century date is likely.

WILT-7BF598: MOUNT
An incomplete Medieval copper alloy circular possible mount dating to c. AD1200-1500. The find is circular in plan, although a small part of the outer frame is missing and the find is slightly warped, due to old damage. It has a ropework design on the front face, in a disjointed spiral pattern. There is a central knop and traces of gilding are in evidence over the front of the find. The reverse is undecorated and there is no evidence of a fitting, which suggests it is not a brooch. Dimensions: Diameter: 43.5mm; thickness: 5.1mm; weight: 18.95g.

WILT-7B4DE7: ANNULAR BROOCH
An incomplete Medieval copper alloy annular brooch, dating to c. AD 1200-1400. The brooch originally had a flat, circular frame with a constriction to hold a pin (now missing). However, the constriction in now broken, and one side of the brooch is bent slightly upwards. There are twenty one ring and dot motif blind pellets filling the area around the inner frame, with an border of incised cable decoration above the pellets, around the outer frame. Six holes have been punched through the pellet design. This may have been done at a later unknown date, as the six holes have been spaced uniformly, but have damaged some of the ring and dot design. The reverse is plain. Dimensions: diameter: 28.6mm; thickness: 1.5mm; weight: 3.3g. cf NMGW-7C052E on the PAS database.

WILT-EB020E: COIN
A Post Medieval silver penny of Charles II dating to AD 1681. Ref: Spink 3390.

WILT-6A1992: HARNESS FITTING
An incomplete Late Iron Age to Early Roman copper alloy probable harness fitting, dating to c. 100 BC- AD 100. The find is a perforated circular loop which appears to have been affixed at one end but has broken away. The other end of the loop thickens and splits into two curved feet, with flat undersides and rounded ends. Dimensions: Length: 37.7mm; width: 32.4mm; thickness: 7.4mm; weight: 22.94g. No exact parallel has been found on the PAS database, but the find may be part of a larger, more complex harness fitting, such as WMID-3A538C

WILT-48A9AC: SICKLE
A fragment of Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age cast copper alloy socketed, flat-topped sickle of Ewart Park or Llyn Fawr metalworking, corresponding to Needham's (1996) Periods 7 - 8, dating to c. 950 - 500 BC. The find is comprised of the socketed end and part of the sickle blade. The socket is integrally cast (without a visible casting seam) and is positioned at right angles to the blade. It is sub-conical in profile and oval in section. The side opposite the blade is at a slight angle and has a large oval dent, caused by old damage. The socket body tapers downwards from the mouth towards the base where it leads off to the lower edge of the blade. It is hollow inside. The socket is perforated with two pairs of two holes on either side of the cylinder to accommodate the (now missing) attachment rivets which would have attached the sickle to a wooden haft or handle. The upper holes line up with each other but the lower holes are slightly out of alignment. There is some damage to the mouth of the socket where a small portion of the body is missing, as is some of the patinated surface. A small part of the blade extends at right angles to the socket. It is lentoid in section. The upper part of the blade has a curved edge and the blade tapers and narrows slightly towards the broken end, where the rest of the blade is lost due to an old break and the patina is damaged. There is no decoration on the find. There are several recent scratches to the find. Dimensions: Overall height: 48.9mm; overall width: 34.8mm; length of socket: 47.2mm; length of socketed end: 24.3mm; width of socketed end: 21.2mm; thickness of socket: 2.5mm; internal diameter of peg holes: 3.3mm; length of blade: 11.6mm; width of blade: 24.7mm; weight: 36.03g. The sickle appears to be a socketed type of Fox's Group I and was likely to be of Late Bronze Age to Earliest Iron Age date, c. 1100 BC - 600BC. The usual distribution for socketed sickles is Ireland, the Thames, East Anglia and the Highland zone so it is unusual to find a socketed sickle from a more westerly distribution. Not many other socketed sickles have been recorded on the PAS database, and most are from Eastern England, but several are recorded from the west of Britain, including complete examples: CORN-234546, from East Devon and WREX-31C07A from Denbighshire, Wales. In addition, few recorded socketed sickles have two rivet holes so this find is recorded as a Find Of Note.

WILT-B16273: MOUNT
An incomplete Post Medieval copper alloy probable furniture mount, dating to c. AD 1714-1830. The find is comprised of a copper alloy disc with raised outer edge, decorated with two concentric circles as border. This leads to a recessed area without decoration. Inside this is a further raised circle at the centre, with beaded decoration aound the edge. The circle contains an image of a Grecian temple, depicted within an oval pediment. The temple is comprised of six columns with an arched roof outlined at the base with a beaded design and a further pediment comprised of six lines with an oval top. At the centre of the temple is a small pedestal with a figure on top, carrying a possible spear. At the top of the object are the remains of a copper alloy attachment, which has been torn away. The reverse of the find is not decorated but has a reverse imprint of the front face. Dimensions: Height: 52.1mm; diameter of circular area: 48.5mm; thickness: 3.3mm; weight: 6.53g.

WILT-733931: COIN
A Roman copper alloy nummus of Constantine II (AD 317-37), dating to AD 322-324 (Reece Period 16).

RIC VII, p. 113, no. 253; Cloke and Toone, The London Mint, p. 274, no. 9.06.025.

WILT-7217E6: BADGE
A Modern copper alloy cap badge dating to c. AD 1902-1931. The badge face is circular with a flaming grenade (flames of 19 points) coming from the top of the circle. The face is inscribed with NORTHUMBERLAND around the top and FUSILIERS around the base in a border, within the centre is the figure of St George, facing left, slaying the dragon. It is die-stamped. The slider is still in situ, attached probably by solder, to the centre of the reverse of the grenade and it terminates at the base of the reverse of the badge face. Dimensions: length: 41.3mm; width: 33.8mm; thickness: 7.3mm; weight: 11.15g. It is an Officer's badge and was made to be worn on the Service Dress cap. This badge was no longer worn in the regular battalions (ie. 1st, 2nd and 3rd or the Depot) by 1914. See Wood (2014: 74), No. 174. Reference: Wood, D. R., 2014, The Fifth and Its Badges.

WILT-4E0F13: HARNESS RING
A Medieval cast copper-alloy ring of a type often suggested to be harness rings (Geake, 2001, Finds Recording Guide, page 74), dating from c. AD 1200 - 1500, though they are typically undiagnostic. Dr Helen Geake (ibid., 74) also suggests that the broadly hexagonal cross-section which this ring possesses probably indicates a medieval date; it is bevelled externally and internally at the edge. It has very clear filemarks along the outer bevelled edges Dimensions: Diameter: 27.6mm; thickness: 3.5mm; weight: 6.65g. See SWYOR-9F7F7E on the PAS database for a similar example. Ref: Geake, H., 2001, Finds Recording Guide can be accessed here: Rings – Finds Recording Guides.

WILT-4CC29C: RING
A plaited silver wire ring or ferrule of unknown date, probably dating to c. AD 1800-1900. Each strand consists of six to eight plain wires, quite loosely plaited together and apparently held in place by shorter strands of wire at irregular intervals. The ring is circular in plan. Dimensions: Diameter: 19.9mm; thickness: 4.3mm; weight: 1.22g. The find is possibly a sleeve or collar from a hunting whip. See WMID-916C46 on the PAS database for a similar ring. The record notes: 'Dr Helen Geake suggests that these silver rings of unknown date should be recorded to further research their dating. She states "that at least some are from 16th- to 18th-century sword-grips, and others are certainly Early Medieval, either Anglo-Saxon (parallels on the Trewhiddle scourge) or Viking (parallels from Viking-age graves and hoards in Scandinavia, Ireland and the Isle of Man)". in the past these objects have been overlooked as coming from modern riding crops. So although this example is likely of modern dating further research is required'. Helen Geake suggests in the online recording guide found here: "On the balance of probabilities, any metal-detector find of a plaited wire ring is likely to date to after 1720 AD, and so until we learn more about them they do not need to be reported as Treasure".

WILT-FF7445: COIN
A worn silver Post-Medieval coin of an uncertain ruler dating to the period AD 1660 - 1820. Unclear reverse. Mint unclear. Both sides of the coin are worn smooth and it has a slight bend on one edge. Possible love token.

WILT-FF5457: COIN

WILT-FE82CE: COIN
A complete post-medieval silver groat of Henry VIII (AD 1509-1547). Second coinage (AD 1526-44), initial mark arrow: dating to AD 1532-1542. London mint. See North (1991) p. 111. no: 1797. Spink 2337E with Laker bust D.

WILT-2ED145: STRAP END
A complete Early Medieval gilded copper alloy strap end, dating c. AD 750-950. Thomas Class A, possibly Type 4, enamel. The strap end is sub ovoid in plan and tapers down to a flattened terminal end. At the distal end is a copper alloy rivet which holds the upper and lower plate in place. The incised front panel possibly depicts stylised beasts interwoven with each other, surrounded by a incised outer border. There appear to be several recessed cells within the design, possibly depicting eyes, which may have once been filled with enamel. There does not appear to be a zoomorphic design at the terminal, but this is quite corroded and the deign is obscured. The white metal coating covers most of the object, including the reverse, although there is no incised decoration here. There is a horizontal crack across the font of the find approximately one third of the way down the object. Dimensions: Length: 28.3mm; width: 8.7mm; thickness: 3.9mm; weight: 2.0g. This is a Thomas (2000) Class A strap end, possibly Type 4, if the recessed cells once contained enamel. This type of strap end has a marked southern bias to its distribution (Thomas, 2000,, FRG datasheet 32).

WILT-2EBF0D: BUCKLE
A incomplete Medieval gilded copper alloy buckle plate, dating to c. AD 1200-1300. The plate comprises two rectangular halves joined by a folded tab (the second is missing, due to an old break) which holds the frame. The larger upper plate is decorated by a relief-moulded bird, which stands to the left, its long, elaborate tail curving back towards the head and bifurcating into a pair of spirals. Traces of gilding can be seen on the surface and also on the smaller lower plate, although any design is no longer visible. A pair of copper-alloy rivets, of diameter 2.7mm, located at the top and bottom right-hand corners respectively, join the upper plate to the smaller lower plate. The buckle frame and pin are missing. Dimensions: Length: 22.8mm; width: 16.4mm; thickness: 4.1mm; weight: 2.55g. See BH-46E5F7 on the PAS database for a similar (complete) example. The record for this notes that examples 'may all originally have been enamelled and may draw their inspiration from workshops at Limoges.'.

WILT-06CC17: HARNESS PENDANT
A complete Medieval gilded copper alloy harness pendant mount, dating c. AD 1200-1300. The mount plate is square with a suspension loop at the top, which is attached to an integral bar. This would originally have been at right angles to the plate, but is now slightly twisted near the loop. There is a rosette motif at the centre of the square and each corner of the square has a moulded decoration in the shape of a fleur de lis, with a smaller moulded foliate shape at either side of the square panel between the lis. There is an aperture for a rivet attachment below the rosette. There is evidence of gilding on the obverse of the find, but the reverse is undecorated, Dimensions: Length: 34.0mm; width: 22.0mm; thickness: 2.7mm; weight: 9.0g. Square horse harness pendants are usually thirteenth century in date as described by Griffiths (1986: Datasheet 5), no. 4.

WILT-F259A4: VESSEL
An incomplete Iron Age to Roman copper alloy mount in the form of a swimming bird, probably a stylised duck, dating to c. 50BC- AD70. Ellis-Haken's Group BD1-C1. The duck has a pointed, oval-shaped, flat body, with a slightly uplifted tail end and angular appearance. There is a small notch on the outer body, either side of the duck's shoulders, possibly deliberately made for unknown purpose, or due to old damage. Just below these notches are small incised grooves along the outer edges of the body to give the appearance of wings. The neck is wide and tapers to a narrow head and pointed beak, giving an elongated Z shape to the duck. Any possible facial details have been lost to wear. The underside has a rough surface, due to old damage, and the possible remains of a stud are visible. The object is solid, although the duck is rather flat in appearance. Dimensions: Length: 26.6mm; width: 13.1mm; height: 14..6mm; weight: 8.39g. The general consensus is that such mounts were produced mainly as decoration for the rims of metal vessels. This find was made near water so may have had religious associations. This find is Ellis-Haken's Group BD1-C1. It is therefore related to the mainstream versions of these stud fittings, but stylistically different/unique.

WILT-CE3006: BEAD
Two complete Roman to Early Medieval faience 'Melon' type beads dating to the period c. AD 43-550. The beads are both gadrooned (vertically ribbed). Neither bead shows signs of wear at the perforation, although there is some surface damage to the outer faces of each bead. Bead 1: The bead is spherical with a circular perforation at the top from which the bead is divided by twelve incised slightly irregular longitudinal ribs. The base of the bead is flat and the circular central perforation shows little sign of wear. The bead is mid to light brown in colour and no traces of glaze are apparent. Dimensions: Diameter: 20.4mm; length: 16.2mm; thickness: 8.9mm: diameter of hole at top: 5.0mm; diameter of hole at base: 5.1mm; weight: 6.08g. Bead 2: The bead is spherical with a circular perforation at the top from which the bead is divided by eleven incised slightly irregular longitudinal ribs. The top and the base of the bead are flat. The circular central perforation shows little sign of wear. The bead is mid brown in colour and no traces of glaze are apparent. Dimensions: Diameter: 20.4mm: length: 16.0mm; thickness: 7.7mm; diameter of hole at top end: 5.52mm; diameter of hole at opposite end: 5.7mm; weight: 6.25g. Worrell (2015) states that faience melon beads "...are common finds on most Roman sites, although normally their occurrence is restricted to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. They are unknown in the Late Iron Age period.'' As noted above, neither bead shows signs of wear at the perforation, although there is some surface damage to the outer faces. They are both symmetrical, rather than asymmetrical. Brugmann (2004: 29) notes that ''Most if not all Roman melon beads from Anglo-Saxon graves are abraded and damaged on the surface, sometimes to an extent that gives them an asymmetrical shape.'' Brugmann (2004: 29) states that ''Roman beads were occasionally reused by Anglo-Saxons, and it seems that certain types were preferred. 'Faience' ribbed beads (Roman /Melon Fig. 100) may have been appreciated for their opaque green/blue ('turquoise') ?glaze and relatively large size.'' Melon beads are seen as a Roman type and therefore early. It is possible that these two beads are Roman and were reused in the Early Medieval period, but equally, although Early Medieval beads are primarily made of glass, judging by their preservation, these faience beads may have been produced in the Early Medieval period and a sixth century date is possible. There have been Roman finds (Wiltshire HER MWI75175) and Anglo-Saxon finds (Wiltshire HER SU18SE411) made within a 200m radius of the finds. Therefore, a wide date range is given for the two finds.

WILT-BEBBE1: FINGER RING
A complete Roman copper alloy finger ring with enamel decoration dating to c. AD 200-300. Guiraud's (1989) Type 3c. The finger ring has a circular section hoop which expands at the shoulders, before tapering again where it meets the flat, oval bezel. The bezel possesses a central, circular cell filled with pale green enamel. A sunburst design is depicted with transverse grooves inside the cell and at the centre of the cell is also filled with pale green enamel. Dimensions: height: 18.1mm; diameter: 18.5mm; Bezel length: 8.1 mm; width: 6.3mm; weight: 0.90g. The finger ring can be classified as Guiraud Type 3c. This type appears at the end of the second century AD and continues until approximately AD 260 or 270 (Guiraud 1989, 185). For a parallel see this reference kindly provided by the finder: DeJaume, Carreras, Bagot, 2012, 'El Legado de Hefesto': A memorial to a private collection of ancient rings and glyptics.

WILT-5EF479: VESSEL
A fragment of Roman ceramic vessel, dating to c. AD 100-200. The sherd has a reduced, light grey fabric with fairly abundant dark grey inclusions <3mm in size and abundant oval voids. The sherd has a rough feel and comes from a jar with a beaded rim. A rim sherd of Roman greyware, probably grog-tempered Savernake ware. Dimensions: length: 33.1mm; width: 36.8mm; thickness: 15.9mm; weight: 15.84g. See WILT-6EC0F1 on the PAS database for similar

WILT-55DC28: BUCKLE
A complete Early Early Medieval cast copper alloy buckle frame with integral triangular plate dating to c. AD 600-700. The frame is sub-oval and is curved on the reverse. There are two semi-circular recesses either side of the inner part of the frame, which would once have held enamel. They now have iron corrosion products within, from the remains of the iron pin, the base of which is still inside the pin hole. A notch is situated opposite the pin hole. The flat triangular plate has two corners of the triangle near the frame, each of which has an outcurved edge forming a lobe. Each corner of the triangle is decorated with a circular recessed cell. One of the two circles near the frame is slightly damaged, due to an old break. Below these two circles is another cell, the border of which is horizontal with a slight dip in the centre of the line. The two long sides of this cell are formed by the outer edges of the triangular plate. This cell is decorated with a triquetra and a pellet. The plate ends in a circular terminal which is again a recessed cell, similar to those near the frame. The recessed cells on the plate would have all contained enamel but now hold traces of a whitish residue. Iron corrosion is also in evidence at the top of the plate, probably from the iron pin. The reverse of the buckle is undecorated. Instead of rivets, it has three pierced lugs set longitudinally, which would have originally been used to attach the buckle to the belt/strap. Dimensions: Length: 29.4mm; width: 14.6mm; thickness including loop on reverse: 5.5mm; weight: 3.87 This type of buckle with integral triangular plate dates to the mid-late seventh century. Dr Kevin Leahy notes that this buckle is 'Irish, the use of enamel is typical and it form can be compared to that of the buckle from Lough Gara, Co. Sligo (Youngs, 1990, No. 46, p. 58) this has a similar ‘three rivet’ configuration but is decorated with a fretted, trellis design. A reasonable parallel for the decoration is LIN-89F702 which is also Irish and has a circular setting as on your find' (Dr Kevin Leahy pers. comm).

WILT-2F9D49: COIN
A complete Roman copper alloy nummus of Constantine I (AD 306-337), dating to AD 318-324 (Reece period 16). BEATA TRANQVILLITAS reverse type depicting an altar inscribed VOTIS XX with a globe on top. Unclear mint.

WILT-2D951E: MINIATURE OBJECT
A complete copper alloy Roman miniature socketed axehead, dating to the period c.AD 43-410. The axehead has a narrow body, with a slightly flared, drooping blade with a curved edge. The side loop is partially integral within the line of the body and placed nearly halfway down the side of the axe. The socket is circular and the axehead is undecorated. Dimensions: length: 17.8mm; width including loop: 9.4mm; thickness at socket 1.0mm; weight: 2.78g. Robinson's (1995) Type III miniature axe with a drooping blade. Similar to No. 13 which he describes as ' a small and well made miniature axe' and he dates to the Roman period. Miniature socketed axeheads can be dated from the Bronze Age/Iron Age transition through to the Roman period, though a date towards the earlier end of the spectrum is more likely. They probably functioned as amulets or votive offerings. Robinson, P. (1995) 'Miniature socketed bronze axes', The Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Magazine, vol. 88, 60-68.

WILT-1B898A: TOY
An incomplete Post Medieval cast lead alloy toy plate, dating to c. AD 1500-1599. The plate was originally circular in plan but a portion is missing due to an old break and several tears. The central well of the plate is plain but the outer border decoration shows the plate divided into sixteen parts, each has a pair of opposing S shapes separated by lines with tendrils leading outwards. The reverse of the plate is undecorated. Dimensions: diameter: 50.7mm; thickness: 1.7mm; weight: 18.39g. Similar plates are illustrated in Forsyth and Egan (2005) and date to the sixteenth century.

The narrowed bar is still in situ. Dimensions: Diameter: 32.7mm; thickness: 2.9mm; length of bar: 23.0mm; weight: 4.78g. For a similar example, see IOW-229096 on the PAS database.

WILT-1AD68A: COIN
An unidentified Medieval silver penny, probably a short or long cross issue, dating to AD 1180-1278. Unclear mint and moneyer.

WILT-1ABFCE: RAPIER
A fragment of Middle Bronze Age rapier dating to c. 1550-1150 cal BC. This slender fragment appears to be from the tip of a rapier. The opposite end is broken, but this is not due to recent damage. The find has a sub-rectangular cross section. It has flat surfaces, which do not appear to have been deliberately bent prior to deposition. The edges of the blade are bevelled although these are now abraded and chipped. The surfaces of the blade are pitted and worn. Dimensions: Length: 35.1mm; width: 13.8mm; thickness: 2.9mm; weight: 5.15g. The find is consistent with many other rapier fragments recorded by the PAS including OXON-7DE9EB, NMGW-587A08, SUR-BCF0BA and DENO-0EAF9.

WILT-1AB4C7: COIN
A Roman copper alloy radiate or nummus of uncertain ruler dating to AD 260-402. Unclear reverse type -possible standing figure. Unclear mint.

WILT-1AA7FB: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy British plate brooch dating to c. AD 100-200. Mackreth (2011) type 3.a4. The main body of the brooch was originally circular in plan, but it has lost a portion due to an old break between 5 and 7 o'clock. The surviving portion of the brooch has five rounded, projecting lugs placed evenly around the its circumference, although the sixth is now missing due to damage. The front of the brooch has a notched decoration around the frame. This decoration is quite worn in places. Inside the frame is a recessed circular border with traces of red enamel. This is followed by a circular raised border also with notched decoration. A further, smaller, recessed circular border with slightly raised edge and possible traces of gilding follows, and inside this is another recessed circular border with an open circular cell at its centre. The pin is missing from the reverse. Two D-shaped lugs project from the reverse of the brooch for a pin and catchplate. These are placed at opposite ends with one lug being pierced by a circular hole which would have allowed the pin mechanism to be attached. Dimensions: Diameter: 30.0mm; thickness: 1.0mm; weight: 3.36g. See Mackreth 2011, Plates 106-7, particularly No. 10764. No.11609 is classified as a type 3.a4. cf. OXON-4D2284 for similar on the PAS database.

WILT-1A6B05: COIN
A complete Medieval silver soldino or 'Galley halfpenny' possibly dating to c. AD 1501-1525. The obverse shows the Doge, as standard bearer of Venice, kneeling left, receiving the banner of St. Mark from the patron-saint standing right. The reverse may show Christ standing holding a cross, but it is very worn. No legends are legible. Soldini entered circulation via the Venetian trading fleet, and were used in place of silver half-pennies which were in short supply. See DENO-67F499 on the PAS database for similar.

WILT-799CC0: PROCESSIONAL CROSS
An incomplete Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval cast copper alloy figurine, probably from a processional cross, dating c. AD 1400 - 1530. The find depicts a draped, standing male figure holding a book in the left hand. The right arm is bent at the elbow with the hand raised with palm facing outwards, in a typically Medieval ecclesiastical pose. The figure is standing facing, with a clean shaven appearance and a well groomed head of hair, depicted as numerous sub-parallel linear incised grooves covering the whole crown of the head and radiating down. The hair is parted just off centre, covering the ears, with curls framing the face. The hair is moulded as though it belongs to a monk, but there is no tonsure. The figure has a serene look, although the eyes and nose appear slightly worn. The figure is dressed in a heavily draped robe with long sleeves and a collar or fold of drapery running around the back of the neck. The garment covers the figure's shoulders. At the front there are large pleats of drapery hanging across the body, below the left arm and hip, up to and under the right arm with raised palm. The remainder of the fabric hangs in folds to the floor, covering the feet which are not visible. The reverse of the garment shows the lower part flaring outwards, depicted by several vertical grooves. The figure stands on a square, narrow plinth which has a hollow circular void inside, which appears to continue inside the length of the figure. The figure is gilded and this has survived well, appearing mostly extant, apart from around the base. Measurements: Height: 78.8mm; width: 28.2mm; weight: 88.0g. This figurine, probably of John the Evangelist, was probably originally from a crucifixion group. It is likely that it was designed to stand on one side of a crucifix, with the Virgin Mary on the other side. The group would have been used as a processional or altar cross. The book (presumably The Bible) is a common attribute of St John the Evangelist. The hollow inside the figure suggests it was originally fitted over an object, presumably as part of a processional cross, such as an example from Glastonbury, in the British Museum collections: accession number 1853, 0902.1. Other similar finds usually have an octagonal faceted base, rather than a hollow base. A small number of superficially similar examples have been reported to the PAS with dates within in the c. AD 1250-1530 range, thus a wide date has been given for this example. See: WILT-3E4001, DOR-1CC614, SWYOR-7C6154, ESS-5CD8F0, ESS-0426E4 and ESS-CE7F01. The overall style of this example likely puts it in the latter period of this chronological spread likely, 15th/16th century.

WILT-7305DE: STRAP FITTING
A complete Early Medieval copper alloy openwork strap fitting probably dating to c. AD 1000-1100. The fitting is triangular in shape with a bar at the top. The design is moulded in relief. There is a knop at either end of the bar, of which the right hand knop is more pronounced than the left. From the base of each knop comes a swathe of foliage, which meets in the middle in a semi circle, below the openwork gap which is itself under the bar at the top. The foliage returns outwards and back in on itself into a curled tendril on either side of the fitting. The frame of the fitting continues below the tendrils. In the centre of the fitting, with its head abutting the semi circle, is a large fly. Its wings are depicted as two tear drop shaped lobes with incised parallel lines running almost vertically halfway down the wings, which are then interrupted by three parallel horizontal lines across the lower part of the wings. The fly's wings are separated by an openwork circle, below which are two further circles, only one of which is now open. Below the fly's wings and on either side of the frame is a beast's head with two rounded ears set close together towards the back of the head. The beats each have lentoid eyes and a long nose. Below the noses is an openwork circle and the beasts appear to have their mouths open, holding a semi circle with an outer design of transverse grooves. The reverse of the fitting is plain. There are traces of a white substance on some parts of the find. Dimensions: Length: 33.1mm; width: 19.8mm; width: 6.6mm; weight: 12.37g. It has not been possible to find a parallel for this object. Dr Kevin Leahy notes that, 'It's decoration allows it to be associated with the stirrup strap mounts, but it looks as if it worked in some other way' (K. Leahy, pers. comm.)

WILT-637102: COIN
A Roman Republican silver 'legionary' denarius of Mark Antony, dating to c. 32-31 BC (Reece period 1). Travelling mint. RRC no. 544.

WILT-62A7EC: OX SHOE
An incomplete iron ox shoe of probable medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1250 - 1900). The ox shoe comprises a broadly C-shaped plate for one half of the cloven hoof of the ox with an integral loop at the toe end consisiting of a length of iron which projects from the inner edge of the shoe and has been bent backwards to meet the outer edge, possibly to help keep the shoe in place. It exhibits four visible rectangular nail holes along the outer edge of the plate. Ox shoes are difficult to date due to the fact that they retain a similar design throughout the majority of the medieval to post medieval period. Dimensions: Length: 112.2mm; width: 64.4mm; thickness: 3.9mm; weight: 127.35g See WILT-ADF3B9 for similar on the PAS database.

WILT-60D9A2: ANNULAR BROOCH
An incomplete Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) annular brooch, dating to c. AD 475-575. The frame is flat with a slightly champfered edge on the inside. The frame is sub-circular, with a constriction to hold the pin, now missing. The obverse is stamped with irregularly spaced ring and dot motifs. The reverse is plain. Dimensions: DiameterL 19.3mm; thickness: 1.0mm; weight: 0.86g. Similar to HAMP-1473BE on the PAS database.

WILT-608B78: COIN
A complete Medieval silver penny of John (AD 1199-1216), dating to c. AD 1204-1210. Voided short cross. Moneyer is either Lukas (Class 5b-c) or Miles (Class 5a-c). Minted at Winchester. Coin is slightly mis-struck and doesn't meet the edge of the flan on the reverse. It is also folded in slightly at 12 o'clock and folded backwards at 6 o'clock on the obverse.

WILT-FF3558: COIN
A Roman copper alloy as of Hadrian (AD 117-138), dating to AD 125-128 (Reece period 6). SALVS AVGVSTI // COS III reverse type depicting Salus standing left, holding sceptre and feeding snake coiled around altar. Mint of Rome. RIC II, p. 427, no. 678.

WILT-843D38: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
A quantity of metal working debris from lead working of unknown date. An incomplete solidified pool of lead presumably from casting, which has set on a flat surface. It appears to have been broken off at the terminal end, due to an old break. Possibly Medieval to Post Medieval in date, c. AD 1200-1800. Dimensions: length: 116.3mm; width: 70.4mm; thickness: 10.4mm; weight: 161.26g.

WILT-837CF7: CHAPE
An incomplete Medieval to Post Medieval lead alloy possible dagger chape, dating to c. AD 1450-1600. It is sub-triangular in plan and tapers to a rounded tip. The hollow inside is sub rectangular and thinner than the width of the chape itself. Dimensions: length: 40.4mm; width: 28.3mm; thickness: 9.0mm; weight: 35.26g. cf on the PAS database: SF-61093B, but also YORYM-306374 which may be of a later date.

WILT-570639: COIN
A Medieval to Post-Medieval gold 10 Cruzados (Português) of Manuel I of Portugal (1495-1521), dating to AD1499-1521 (Gomez 74.05). The coin has a small, round punch mark (located at 3 o'clock on the line of the inner circle on the obverse, and by the top of the central cross at at 1 o'clock on the reverse) which has almost pierced the coin. The punch was made from reverse to obverse.

WILT-54BBAA: FINGER RING
A Roman gold finger ring dating to c. AD 1-200. The find is much bent and distorted, with a circular hoop of circular cross-section and what appear to be a pair of opposed possible snake heads forming the bezel. max. length of distorted hoop 25.0mm thickness wire hoop (circular sectioned) 1.3mm max setting length 8.5mm (right angles to hoop) max setting width 6.8mm depth setting 2.6mm weight 1.95g Discussion: snake rings are common finds from the early Roman period. This ring appears to broadly conform with the type and would be classified as Johns type Bii (Johns 1997). However, because the ring is so heavily distorted, it is not completely certain that this is the correct classification of this particular ring; the ‘snake heads’ appear to sit transverse to the line of the ring, which is unusual. Conclusion: because this item is more than 300 years old and made from more than 10% precious metal, it conforms with the definition of Treasure as set out in the Treasure Act 1996. English Treasure Cases Reported in Wales Richard Hobbs 9.12.21 Reference Johns, C.M. 1997. The Snettisham Roman jeweller’s hoard (London, British Museum Press).

WILT-444F58: BUCKLE
An incomplete, Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper-alloy double-loop annular buckle, dating c. AD 1350-1650. The buckle frame is circular with a central bar creating two back to back D-shaped loops, with D shaped cross section. Part of the pin is still in situ, held firm by corrosion products. Dimensions: Diameter: 20.9mm; thickness: 6.0mm; weight: 2.19g. Buckles of this form and size are difficult to date but a range from contexts spanning the mid 14th-mid 17th centuries is shown by Egan and Pritchard (1991:65-67).

WILT-441B2B: RIVET
A complete Medieval or Post-Medieval copper-alloy rivet for repairing metal vessels dating to c. AD 1450-1800. Formed from a triangular piece of sheet metal, it has been rolled into a cone with a sharp point with unsoldered lapped seam and would have been hammered into wood. This action of hammering would have closed the open wider end. Dimensions: length: 64.6mm; width: 10.7mm; weight: 8.56g. Cf similar examples on the PAS database: IOW-4F4241, HAMP-361C10, SOM-DA1092. Egan (2005:101) suggests that these were a later form of rivet, which took over from the Medieval folded staples in the late 15th to the mid to late 16th century and continued in use into the 18th century.

WILT-64AD49: STRAP FITTING
Incomplete Late Iron Age to Early Romano British cast copper alloy strap union, dating to c. 100 BC- c. AD 100. Taylor and Brailsford (1985) Type 1. The design comprises a central body with two flat circles conjoined one above the other, in a figure of eight. Each circle has a raised sinuous tendril or vegetal design across the centre. Both designs are similar where they almost meet but one of the opposing ends of the tendril on one circle curls upwards, the opposite tendril curls downwards. Both upper and lower circles have laterally projecting flat circular lugs set perpendicular to the plane of the body. One lateral side of the body is broken at these lugs, but on the other side they extend fully and are bridged by a cylindrical strap bar. This configuration would originally have been repeated on the missing side giving a symmetrical form. The back of the object is flat and has no features. Dimensions: Overall length: 35.0mm: width: 27.7mm: thickness of bar: 6mm: length of bar: 17.7mm; weight: 19.81g. Strap unions of this type are well known from the period and other examples can be found on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database cf. HAMP-06CBAC, NMS-7CE016, SUR-9A34B7 and NMS-2FBEC. See also Taylor and Brailsford, 1985. 'British Iron Age Strap Unions' in The Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, Vol. 51 (December), p 251, Fig. 2. Type 1.

WILT-4F1D99: TOKEN
A possibly Post-Medieval cast lead biface token, dating to c AD 1500 - 1700. These tokens are not closely datable.The obverse has a crude head and neck in relief, facing right, which may be copying the head on a Roman radiate coin, Powell type 10. The reverse shows a stylised bird with sinuous body advancing right, possibly a crested head with large oval eye and tail like a cockerel or peacock. Legs and feet with three toes are apparent. There are other marks, including a possible number 1 and 7 but they may, in fact, be random, intended, again, to create a coin-like look. Around 300 tokens on the database include birds, many with this stylised or primitive appearance. Dimensions: 28.71mm in diameter; 9.31g in weight

WILT-E606EE: AMPULLA
An incomplete Medieval lead alloy ampulla, dating to c. AD 1150 - 1350. The ampulla has a rounded lower half and an elongated rectangular neck which now has one corner missing and a tear running across the back to the waisted edge. A single projecting attachment loop is present, where the neck meets the body on one edge. The other loop is now lost due to an old break. The body of the ampulla has moulded decoration in the form of a Spencer Type II scallop shell, (Spencer, 1990, fig. 179) on one side. The scallop was the emblem of pilgrimage and was also associated with St James of Compostela. The other side of the ampulla has a stylised gothic letter T within a roundel, on a hatched background, suggesting that this ampulla is associated with the shrine of Thomas Becket at Canterbury. Dimensions: Length: 58.1mm; width: 30.3mm; weight: 35.08g Ampullae were popular with pilgrims from the later 12th century to the 14th century after which point they became increasingly replaced by pilgrim badges.

WILT-46E681: RELIQUARY
A Medieval silver reliquary box pendant, dating to c. AD 1400 - 1500. Description: An incomplete, silver composite reliquary box pendant. The pendant is circular in plan. The Holy Christogram ‘IHC’ is engraved in black-letter script on a hatched background, onto a flat, silver disc framed by two silver washers, one on top of the other. The outermost one (now damaged) appears to have been carefully crimped to hold these elements together, leaving a rope-like pattern on the underside. Separate, but held by the washers to the circumference of the engraved disc is a (now damaged) sheet of silver. The washers have a small gap 4mm wide at one point, due to old damage. Dimensions: Diameter: 24.7mm, thickness: 10.8mm, weight: 7.38g. Discussion: This container would probably have held a small sacred relic that would act as part of private worship. It is comparable to several others on the PAS database that have been reported as Treasure: 2014 T830 (SF-0EDFA7) from Waveney, Suffolk; 2021 T792 (LANCUM-44DAD7) from Carlisle, Cumbria; 2021 T970 (SWYOR-0B1A32) from Suffolk; 2021 T78 (NMS-E7843D) from North Norfolk and 2022T624 (GLO-43B24A), from Stroud, Gloucestershire. All are of similar feature and construction, with depictions of ‘IHC’ on one face and Agnes Dei (Lamb of God) on the other, although the details and designs can vary. It is therefore likely that this piece is a backplate and would have had a lid in the form of another disc bearing an engraving of the Agnes Dei. The lettering is black-letter script. The letters themselves are lowercase with incised line borders and are left plain against the cross-hatched background. Most of these types of reliquaries are dated c.AD 1350-1700, and the find’s black-letter script broadly suggests a 15th century date. There is a copper alloy example of a similar reliquary, in the British Museum: 1902, 0527.25 Collection search | British Museum Conclusion: The item comprises of over 10% precious metal and is more than three hundred years old and as such qualifies as potential Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. Alix Smith, Finds Liaison Assistant for Wiltshire Sophie Hawke, Finds Liaison Officer for Wiltshire

WILT-A1FAD2: MOUNT
A complete cast late Post Medieval copper alloy openwork mount, dating to c. AD 1800-1900. The mount is of circular form and is decorated with a large sub-spherical motif at the centre, which is surrounded by three smaller semi-spherical motifs together with stylised sinuous beasts together with stylised sinuous beasts which are located inside the circular outer frame. There are three attachment loops on the reverse. Diameter: 50mm; thickness: 9mm; weight: 28g. Dr Kevin Leahy has kindly identified this find and comments: "The design is late Celtic and can be paralleled on many hanging bowl escutcheons. Then there are the problems; I have never seen a hanging bowl mount decorated in deep relief, they are all flat. While we do see some openwork, it's not like this. The decoration looks OK but is weak and poorly defined. The fittings on the rear look like those on the back of a modern army cap badge - hanging bowls don't have rear mounts. I think that it's recent. I would guess that this object is 19th century" (K Leahy pers comm).

WILT-235BCE: SPOON
An incomplete Roman copper alloy spoon with pear-shaped bowl, dating to c AD100 - 150. Crummy 1983, Type 2.

WILT-DE441D: VESSEL
An incomplete Medieval ceramic handle dating to c. AD 1200-1300. The find appears to be the top part of a handle as there is a thumb indentation where it joins the vessel wall. The opposite end is lost due to an old break. The handle is made from a pale fired fabric, pale pink in colour with no visible inclusions. There is a greenish brown glaze applied to the inside part of the vessel and traces of this in the thumb indentation. Length: 44.5mm; width: 45.1mm; thickness: 31.2mm: weight: 32.78g This is either Laverstock or Poole Harbour fineware. They both look similar as both are pale firing. 13th-14th century (L. Mepham, pers. comm.)

WILT-F6A02E: SCRAPER (TOOL)
A knapped flint lithic implement of Early Bronze Age date (c. 2200 - 1000 BC) in the form of a possible thumbnail scraper. The scraper is struck from a secondary flake and retains c.95% of its original cortex. The dorsal surface exhibits a flake scar ridge and short, scaled, abrupt retouch at the edge of the distal end. A small striking platform is present at the proximal end. The scraper measures 21.6mm in length, 20.3mm in width, is 6.5mm thick and weighs 2.36g.

WILT-E0C778: FURNITURE FITTING
A cast and hand tooled copper alloy furniture fitting / escutcheon plate of late Post-Medieval date c. AD1625-1750. The plate is probably from a drawer from a chest or similar piece of furniture and is decorative in nature. The find is sub-rectangular in plan. It is decorated with incised circular and semi-circular designs, together with a V shape which has fluted edges along the inner lines of the V. Inside the V shape is minute cross hatching decoration. This is repeated in some of the semi circular designs. The reverse is flat and undecorated with no evidence of any fittings. Length: 35.2mm; width: 21.2mm: thickness: 0.9mm: weight: 3.58g. See the PAS database for similar fittings: HESH-3BE308, HESH-704A83

WILT-CF8B4D: SPOON
An incomplete Roman copper alloy spoon handle, dating to c. AD 200-400. The undecorated handle rises up to a curve from the tip, which is no longer extant. The handle widens towards the off-set and was originally oval in shape at this part of the handle, with a circular hole pierced through, just before the off-set. The hole may have been used for threading a strap through to suspend the spoon for carrying. The spoon handle has a characteristic off-set or elbow at the junction where it meets the bowl, which is now missing due to an old break. The off-set is a feature seen on many Roman spoons. Cf. a similar off- set handle on an example of a Roman spoon on the PAS database: IOW-6A25B6

WILT-A14B25: VESSEL
An incomplete probably Medieval to Post Medieval lead vessel, dating to c. AD 1066-1650. The vessel, made of 4.6mm thick lead sheet, has been distorted due to old damage. The base is sub-oval in shape and its once flat base is now warped. The base is formed of one sheet of lead. The sides of the vessel are formed from two strips of lead, each sits inside the base, although the base has become detached from the sides at one end, probably due to plough damage. The sides of the vessel flare out only slightly from the base. They are folded in at the edges in places and the height of the sides varies, again where the vessel has been damaged. The terminals of the sides originally met at each end of the vessel and were once carefully soldered together. Only one of these solders remains as the opposite terminals have broken away from each other. The rim of the vessel is slightly rolled in places, although it appears to have been sliced across the top on one side, possibly by the plough. Length: 210mm; width: 180.4mm; height: 41mm; thickness: 4.6mm; weight: 1900g. The vessel is undecorated and does not have any datable features. Therefore its date and exact use cannot be determined, but there are Medieval earthworks nearby (Wiltshire HER no. ST85NE609), which may suggest a Medieval date for this vessel. A similar example of the PAS database is: WAW-EDD262.

WILT-9D503F: COIN

Only the head of the brooch and a small portion of the upper bow survives, together with some coils of the sprung pin. The head of the brooch expands transversely into the wings. Each of the wings terminate in perforated wing caps, of which one still retains the end of the axis bar. Both wings are decorated by a series of longitudinal ridges, with three at either terminal divided from a fourth and the mid point by a recessed channel. The head of the brooch and the ridges on the wings retain traces of a white metal coating. A perforated crest expands over the head. The wings have lost their copper alloy axis bar, and only 5 coils remain of the sprung pin. with an external cord looping through the perforated crest and the shank of the pin lost to an old break. The bow projects from the head at an almost 90 degree break in angle. Below this point of inflection the bow is decorated with an incised rectangular border, which also retains traces of white metal coating. The border creates a field which contains two recessed almost hour glass shaped cells. The rest of the bow is lost to an old break. Length: 21.5mm; width: 26.30; weight: 7.0g. cf. Mackreth (2011: 71) no. 2173.

WILT-F5D862: COIN
A silver Medieval halfgroat of Edward III (1327-1377), dating to 1351-1352. Mint of London. Fourth coinage, pre-Treaty period, Series C. c.f. North (1991: 50) no.1148.

WILT-B8F7BB: DAGGER
An incomplete Medieval iron rondel dagger, dating to c. AD 1400-1500. The dagger has a long, tapering, probably single edged blade. The blade has a triangular cross section and still retains its pointed tip. Behind the quillon or guard (now lost), the tang is a thick iron bar which tapers towards the pommel end. The tang probably would have originally been enclosed in a bound wooden handle. The pommel or button is a square plate with a scalloped edge. Corrosion products cover the find, making it difficult to ascertain whether this is definitely a single edged weapon, although it seems likely. Overall length of weapon: 357mm; length of blade: 247mm; width of blade: 20mm; thickness of blade: 13mm; length of hilt: 247mm; thickness of tang: 8mm; length of pommel: 14mm; width of pommel: 14mm; weight: 205g. The rondel dagger first appears in the mid 14th century. The term is applied to daggers of which both the pommel and the guard take the form of a disc set at right angles to the tang. However, other shapes are also included within the term, c.f. hexagonally or octagonally-faceted conical pommels, examples of which which date to AD 1405 and AD 1424 respectively. Ward-Perkins (1975: 44) Fig.9 nos. 8 & 10. This is a weapon rather than a domestic knife, and is depicted as a sidearm for solders and knights alike from a number of 15th century brasses. The Royal Armouries have commented: 'Obviously, the corrosion products make it more difficult, but it would appear to have a single edge. Fortunately, the tang button is still present, and which allows us to suggest that it is probably of 15th century date. As nothing remains of the hilt itself, we cannot definitely say what form it would have taken, but the type of hilt was probably of cruciform.'

WILT-6A4488: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A copper alloy and iron unidentified object, probably Roman in date. It is comprised of a copper alloy strip which gradually narrows. It has a reverse fold at one end. Attached to this is a loop, curving the opposite way and rivetted in place. The opposite end of the copper alloy strip is decorated with a two horizontal lines in relief, and it is curved over at the top. The terminal is lost due to an old break. A separate fragment of curved iron accompanies the find: this may have slotted into the loop to hold an object in place. Length: 42mm; width: 13mm; thickness (at rivetted end): 3.3mm; weight: 9.55g.

WILT-2B8121: AMPULLA
An incomplete Medieval lead ampulla, dating to c. AD 1200-1500. The object is cast, flask shaped, with a circular body. The neck is flaring with a slightly open mouth. One of the rounded side loops is still intact, the other is missing due to an old break. Both faces of the ampulla have a slightly recessed area around their widest part, leading up to the base of the neck. One face has an area of cross-hatch decoration towards its lower end. The other face appears to be undecorated. Length: 42mm; width: 32mm; weight: 32g. Ampullae were popular with pilgrims from the later 12th century to the 14th century after which point they became increasingly replaced by pilgrim badges. Unlike the badges, which were normally worn on the hat, ampullae were suspended on a chain or chord and worn around the neck (Spencer 1998: 39). A similar example on the PAS database is: DYFED-2995BC

WILT-5DE8CD: BELL
A fragment of Post Medieval copper alloy cast spherical crotal bell, dating to c. AD 1760-1799. The bell would originally have been comprised of two hemispherical domes with a raised circumferential join. The upper hemisphere would have had two circular sound holes with a rectangular suspension loop projecting from the top between them. The lower hemisphere would have had a long, wide sound slit with circular sound holes at either end. This remaining fragment is from the lower hemisphere and the sunburst pattern can still be seen, radiating out from two semi circles. These semi circles are incised with the letter R, flanked on either side with a ring and dot motif. This suggests that the bell was manufactured by the founder Robert Wells or his son, Robert Wells Junior, who were operating at the bell foundry of Aldbourne, Wiltshire, from the 1760s-1790s. The portion of the bell which would have been incised with the letter W is missing, due to an old break. Length: 55mm; width: 35mm; weight: 31.0g Similar examples on the PAS database include: CORN-74BC46; BH-D7C885; PUBLIC-3A5473; KENT-234734.

WILT-5D3DD2: FINGER RING
A fragment of a Roman copper alloy finger ring, probably dating to c. AD 150-350. Guiraud Type 3d. The fragment is comprised of the bezel and the remains of shoulders of the ring, part of one shoulder and the hoop are lost to old breaks. The bezel is oval in plan, with a recessed, oval cell, which may once have held a glass or gem intaglio. The bezel is flanked by the shoulders, both of which have a slight flanged transverse ridge set either side of the bezel. One shoulder is sub-triangular in plan before it terminates and the other is sub-rectangular in plan due to an old break. The bezel and shoulders are otherwise plain, as is the underside of the finger ring. Length: 14.40mm; width of bezel: 7.20mm; length of bezel: 8.90mm; thickness: 2.90mm; weight: 0.70g. c.f. Guiraud (1989: 185) Type 3d. Similar examples on the PAS database include: WILT-412E7D.

WILT-4B6DCE: TOKEN
A complete Medieval to Post Medieval lead token dating to c. AD 1200-1500. Powell Type 14b. The object is a circular, unifaced disk. The face has a moulded raised design of a cross with paddles at the tips, and a pellet in each corner. The reverse is flat and undecorated. Diameter: 18mm; weight: 5.63g Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as small change, tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. Tokens of Powell's type 14 are thought to imitate Medieval pennies, and may therefore be of the same date. The Powell (2010) classification system, in which there are over 30 categories, attempts to classify these leaden tokens according to the designs featured on each face, but it does not assign any chronology. This system would classify this token as Powell Type 14 (crosses) b (with each pellet in the quarters).

WILT-B3AB0A: COIN

WILT-D17565: STRAP FITTING
A Post Medieval copper alloy strap fitting dating to c. AD 1500-1600. The fitting is consists of a flat plate that is in the form of a scallop shell with bifurcated terminal at one end. On the front face are eight grooves that radiate from the terminal to the outer edge of the shell to give it its scallop-shaped form. The back face is flat and has two integrally cast lugs that are cylindrical in form and taper to rounded points. The lower one of these is now folded pointing upwards towards the other which extend straight outwards. Length: 15.30mm; width: 14.20mm; thickness: 3.20mm; weight: 1.87g. Similar examples on the PAS database include: WAW-A783FC; SWYOR-2A0200. Strap fittings have been in use from the late Medieval to Post Medieval period. Egan (2005) comments that when they were used as dress accessories and continued on horse harness straps into the 18th century.

WILT-3CB571: FOLDING KNIFE
A fragment of a Roman copper alloy folding knife handle, dating to c. AD 43-410. The fragment is openwork in form and consists of a hound, originally chasing a hare, which is now lost. The hound is stylised in appearance with an arched back, front legs lifted and head pointing forwards, in line with the body and tail, all giving the appearance of running. The hound's rear legs are curved in a lifelike manner, although one rear leg has been partially truncated due to an old break. The hound's tail is also partially truncated, as though it has been docked, again due to an old break. It has two incised bands around its neck, suggesting a collar and its snout is enlarged, although this may be part of the hare's rump in the hound's mouth. The animal stands as though mid-stride, on a sub-rectangular openwork frame, with its front paws resting on the upturned line of the frame which bends up at a right angle. The opposite end of the frame, below the hound's tail, is now truncated, but would have originally have been attached to a hinge block which is now lost, along with the blade. Length: 31.0mm; width: 16.5mm; thickness: 5.1mm; weight: 6.88g This is an incomplete example of the 'hare and hound' series of folding knife handles.

WILT-E829FA: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy hinged zoomorphic plate brooch. The brooch consists of a plate in the form of an inverted S, decorated with enamel and possibly coral inlays. Probably dating to c. AD 1-200. The brooch is zoomorphic with symmetrical, opposed, curvilinear horse heads forming either arm of the plate. Both heads have an identical curving neck, ears and partially opened mouth. The eye of each horse is a circular, recessed cell, now missing its inlay. The ear of each horse is an oval recessed cell, also missing its inlay. At the centre of the plate where the two horses' necks meet are two similar sized circular recessed cells, again with no surviving inlay. Both of the necks are decorated with a pair of parallel, opposed trumpet-shaped recessed cells which end in a trefoil at the widest point. Each cell contains traces of a red enamel or possibly coral inlay. The spaces between these cells have been left raised. Deep transverse lines have been incised into the sides of the plate, along the outside edges, as though indicating the horses' hair. Expanding from the back of the plate, from just behind the zoomorphic terminal of the upper arm is a pair of perforated D-shaped lugs, which hold a copper alloy axis bar and the slight remains of a copper alloy pin in situ. The rest of the pin is now lost. The catchplate remains at the opposite end of the plate, just behind the zoomorphic terminal of the lower arm. Although bearing a superficial similarity to Dragonesque type brooches, this brooch lacks the characteristic pin attachment method of this type and in addition, the plate is comprised of stylised horse heads rather fabulous creatures. The curvilinear trumpet-shaped red enamel or possible coral inlays are suggestive of an Iron Age or early Roman period date. Only one similar parallel has been found on the PAS database (DEV-E9FD83) although this is comprised of long-necked sea creatures, rather than horse heads. In general, brooches became unfashionable in Britain around the end of the second century, so a first or second century date is proposed, although stylistically it is perhaps more likely to date to the first century. Length: 36.30mm: width: 18.10mm; thickness: 2.80mm; weight: 8.54g Ref: PAS database DEV-E9FD83

WILT-EC6E79: BROOCH
A complete Medieval copper alloy jetton dating to c. AD 1280-1343, repurposed into a brooch. The worn obverse of the jetton shows a triple stranded cross patty, with three pellets and three crescents in each quarter. The worn reverse depicts a shield, possibly with three lions passant in an 8/10 lobed tressor, with a pellet and strokes border. Soldered to the reverse is a strip of copper alloy sheet to form an attachment hook. Diameter: 27.0mm; thickness: 3.80mm; weight: 1.86g. Cf. Mitchiner (1988: 107) 170. A similar example of repurposing a jetton into a brooch is DOR-2DA80C. Jetton brooches were popular in the late 13th and early 14th centuries, the smaller English jettons often being so adapted. The fashion seems to have been dying out by the middle part of the 14th century. That fact, and the pristine condition of the jetton itself, implies that this brooch was made very shortly after the jetton had been produced.

WILT-AA4457: BROOCH
An unidentified copper alloy fragment, possibly a fragment of a Roman crossbow brooch, probably dating to AD 320-410. The object consists of a rectangular plate of copper alloy, truncated by an old break at one end and expanding into a projecting sub-rectangular foot at the other. An integral strip of copper alloy expands from the reverse of the plate, being just short of its full length, with this curving round back towards the plate. Length: 41.40mm; width, including projection: 14.40mm; thickness of plate: 2.90mm; weight: 15.03g. Although unusually plain and large, the object resembles the foot and catchplate of a Roman brooch - although this may just be coincidental. Late Roman heavy crossbow brooches are known which are similar in scale, eg. YORYM-8B1E26.

WILT-A8A689: PADLOCK
Part of a late medieval to post medieval padlock made of copper alloy, dating to 1450-1700. The locking arm is the only remaining part. The locking arm is sub-rectangular shaped in cross-section. One terminal widens at the end and has a bar through it where it was attached to the body of the padlock. The other terminal has a notch cut into the arm, followed by a further deeper notch. This is the part which would have been pushed down inside the body to lock the padlock. Diameter: 25.80mm; thickness: 3.50mm; weight: 6.65g. Similar examples on the PAS database is LON-AE1C18 and also LON-C8DC0B, which references the following: Two similar examples can be found in Bart et al. (1977, nos. 696-697), made of cast iron and date from the late 15th-17th century. Another example can be found in the Walsall museums' collection (1982.0091), which is Medieval in date. It would seem that this type of lock was predominantly continental in origin, with many examples coming from the Netherlands and Germany. It is likely that this example is of a similar date and origin.

Diameter: 23.10mm; width at wider terminal: 2.22mm; thickness: 1.60mm; weight: 0.99g. It is difficult to date such an undiagnostic object, however the patina might suggest a Roman date, especially in light of roman finds in the area.

WILT-15F91D: SPOON
An incomplete Roman copper alloy spoon, dating AD 43-410. The surviving fragment comprises of the handle only, this being a sub-rectangular-sectioned bar of copper alloy, with traces of silvering and several incised vertical grooves, and an elaborated 'elbow' at the juncture of the handle and offset bowl, the latter being lost. The tip of the handle curves upwards and the extreme tip is missing, due to an old break. Dimensions: Length 43.10mm; width 3.14mm; thickness 2.10mm; weight 1.83g. cf.

WILT-050F4E: BROOCH
An incomplete Late Iron Age/ early Roman copper alloy brooch, probably dating from AD 25-75. A hinged strip bow brooch, almost complete, with some damage to its head and missing its axis bar and pin. The head of the brooch consists of a rectangular sheet of copper alloy rolled under itself to form the wings for a lost axis bar. A rectangular slot has been cut into the reverse of the head to accommodate a hinged pin, also lost, and with the left wing damaged. The bow tapers into a pointed foot with a sub-rectangular, un-perforated catchplate projecting from the reverse. The upper bow is decorated with a recessed channel running down either edge containing an incised zig-zag pattern, with a double stranded incised transverse collar dividing the upper and lower bow, the latter being plain. The pin rest curves to the right. Length: 62.60mm; width at the head: 14.90mm; weight: 3.51g. Ref. Bayley & Butcher (2004: fig. 119) illustrate comparable examples, with further parallels excavated in Roman contexts at Dorchester are published by Woodward et al. (1993: fig. 61, nos. 32, 35-36). It also resembles Mackreth (2011, 103), no. 6770.

WILT-02B15A: MOUNT
An incomplete Roman copper alloy mount, dating from c AD 44-100. A shallow, conical boss with a lipped flange around the outside which is broken in places. The centre top of the boss is also damaged. The back is filled with lead solder and this may have been the method of attaching it to a metal surface. Diameter: 24.40mm; thickness: 9.10mm; weight: 10.91g. Ref: Crummy (1983: 119), no. 4037. See also the PAS database NLM-D75CE2 for a similar example.

WILT-F014DB: STUD
An Iron age or Roman copper alloy stud or pin, dating to c. 500 - 200 BC. The stud has a flat, circular head, set perpendicularly to the shank, with a raised border on both faces and rounded sides. The top of the head expands gradually into a raised dome-like projection, a sub-circular sectioned shank projects from the underside. The shank tepares slightly along its length, and appears to be complete. Diameter of the head: 15.7mm; length: 21.0mm, thickness of head: 5.0mm; weight: 6.74g. cf. DOR-B177D4, FAKL-19F0A8, WILT-45E175, LON-7134A5. Whilst these examples are recorded as pins, the thin and unbroken shank on this example suggests it served as a smaller stud.

WILT-EED11A: BROOCH
A Roman copper alloy fragment of a trumpet brooch, of Mackreth's type TR 1.2b2, dating from AD 75-200. The head of the brooch is oval in cross section, with a concave reverse and small knop projecting from the apex. A relatively large wire loop projects from the reverse of the head, aligned longitudinally. The front of the bow features elaborate enamel inlaid decoration, with two symmetrical panels divided along the longitudinal median line by a central ridge. Traces of blue enamel survive in some of the recessed cells. At the centre of the bow is an 'acanthus'-style moulding flanked by narrowed waists and within a pair of double stranded transverse collars. The bow below the moulding is lost to an old break, but there is the suggestion of further recessed cells to hold enamel. Length: 37.0mm; width at head: 16.90mm; thickness of head: 13.90mm; weight: 14.27g. cf. Mackreth (2011, plate 80), no. 4951, no. 4926 shows a comparable unusual loop.

WILT-B2C002: FINGER RING
A Roman copper alloy finger ring, repurposed from a penannular brooch of Booth (2015) Type D7, probably dating to c. AD 320-450. The finger ring is sub-circular in plan, comprised of a sub-circular sectioned wire wrapped around into a circle with the surviving terminal crossing a truncated end. The surviving terminal is folded back on itself, with two incised collars flanking a broad transverse groove. It has a mid green patina. Diameter: 15.80mm; thickness: 2.20mm; weight: 1.84g. Similar terminals can be seen illustrated in Booth, (2015: 195-197) which she classifies as her D7. Swift (2002) describes the use of Late Roman jewellery as finger rings and it is assumed that the reuse of this object relates to the same period.

WILT-AEC0E5: RING
A copper alloy ring of uncertain date and function, possibly Prehistoric to Roman in date, c. 1000 BC - 410 AD. The ring has a sub-circular cross section, with heavy wear to one point of its circumference. Diameter: 26.40mm; thickness: 2.40mm; weight: 2.42g. It is difficult to parallel such an undiagnostic find, however the patina would suggest a Prehistoric or Roman date. Its function is uncertain, and similar rings have been found associated with Roman coin hoards (cf. SOM-0870A5), presumably part of the bag which had held the hoard, or it may have been used as a simple strap junction or put to another purpose.

WILT-9E8B6A: STRAP FITTING

Length: 28.80mm; width: 3.90mm; thickness: 2.90mm; weight: 2.86g. No parallel for this object has been identified, but the patina and decoration would both suggest a Post-Mediaeval date.

WILT-9DB45B: COIN

On the front of the bar is an inscription in incised linear decoration, inlaid with niello: INV [...] tECV(M). Length: 52.0mm, width: 8.50mm, thickness: 2.40mm, weight: 6.85g. This is from the AVE MARIA prayer, commonly found on purse bars. Unsually the 't' is lower case, rather than upper (M.Jones pers. comm.) Cf. Ward Perkins (1975: 165), Type A2; Saunders (2012: 107) no.171, Williams (2018: 3, fig. 6), as well as similar examples on this database: KENT-82209A, SUR-D64E26
