Two (2) copper-alloy fragments of casting waste of uncertain date. The pieces are irregularly shaped globules of solidified molten metal. They are irregular in form and section with no identifying features. Cremation material of Early-Medieval date has also been found in this area. These pieces may represent further additions to this though the lack of identifiable features makes this difficult to ascertain.  1: Weight: 6g; Length: 35mm; Width: 20.1mm; Thickness: 5mm. 2: Weight: 1.4g; Length: 14.8mm; Width: 8.8mm; Thickness: 2.8mm.

A fragment of a copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date. The fragment is a waisted elongated oval in plan and sub-rectangular in section. The waist in the centre of the fragment produces the appearance of a pair of ovals joined by a narrowed mid-area. One of these ovals terminates with a pair of worn projections, possibly the remains of an integrally cast loop. The other terminates with a circular sectioned projection with a worn break. The surface of the fragment is very worn, therefore any potential decoration is obscured or lost. The fragment has a worn dark-green …
