Lead offcut. Sub-triangular fragment clipped from cast lead sheet, stamped close to its edge where the sheet had diminished in its thickness from 2.8mm to c.2mm. The sheet includes a stamped device in a heater shield shaped frame. The device is the head of a stag with spread antlers, with an indistinct object between, probably representing a symbolic bird such as a pelican. The letters LELSV (I am loyal) appear in a compartment above the device. If the bird is a pelican, it may be a pelican 'in its piety', feeding its young with blood from its breast, a symbol of Christ's self-sa…

Copper alloy and ?white metal unidentified object fragment. Cast and rounded terminal from the end of a beaded series wherein the beads or stages were separated by strands of (now) darker wire inlay which passed four fifths of the way around; one strand remains along with the hollow formerly occupied by its neighbour. Heavily smoothed by wear. This object could be from the end of a small handle, perhaps for a spoon or other implement. Wire inlay is an occasional decorative feature of the better metalwork of various periods. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Post-Medieval, 43-1600. …

Lead weight. Cast flat discoid weight. The faint impression of a coin or jetton with circumferential legend, inner circle and central motif appears on that surface which was uppermost when the object was cast (presumably in an open mould); these features, and its size, tend to indicate a later medieval date. The mass now falls short of one averdepois ounce, but possibly the object which has left the impression was formerly attached to bring the value closer to that value. Patinated overall. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1500. Diameter: 26.9mm, Thickness: 4.6mm, Weight: 25.28gms

Copper alloy strap end. Cast elongated narrow strap end of plano-convex section, flat at the back, with a widened and bifurcated end retaining the edges of two attachment holes of estimated diameter 2.5mm. The attachment is a feature of 8th to 9th-century strap ends, but the long narrow plate is less common. There are traces of three pairs of incised transverse lines along the plate, with slight hollows at the end representing the hollows either side of a beast snout terminal. The transverse lines possibly retained silver, though no trace of this now remains. Suggested date: Early Med…

Lead weight. Cast discoid bun-shaped weight. Both upper and lower surfaces bear indentations which may indicate the loss of inset objects. The larger indentation is sub-circular and of diameter 14.5mm and depth 3.7mm; the smaller is less regular, with two adjacent straight edges of length circa 10mm and a curving edge, and of depth circa 1.2mm. The use of weights of this form with inserted objects is considered typical of early medieval practice. The mass of the object - though this is as found, and hence without any inserted objects - would be close to 25 units of the Dublin Viking s…

Both are filled with a white metal inlay, perhaps silver, but with pits within the inlaid zones perhaps designed to be free of inlay.

A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman finger ring, probably dating from the second to third centuries AD. Probably a developed example of Henig Ring Type 1. The bezel and shoulders are all that remain; the thin ring band is mostly missing. The ring has a high collared oval bezel which comprises the entire top of the ring, save for a thing copper-alloy setting. It is inlaid with an 'amber coloured' glass-like decoration which has possibly been laid in a 'petal/flower' shape. The colouring of the bezel appears to be half 'light amber' and half slightly darker, however, the condition i…
