Incomplete early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy bow brooch, perhaps a cruciform of Martin’s (2015) type 3. The headplate is roughly rectangular, although all of its edges are now heavily abraded and some parts are certainly worn breaks. There is a flat square panel on the front (raised a fraction of a millimetre), slightly wider than the bow and aligned with the lower edge of the headplate. The panel is decorated along the top and one lateral edge with a line of punched crescent-shaped marks. None are visible on the opposite edge, where the surface of the metal is more corroded.  …

Description: Fragment of gold sheet, probably of the Anglo-Saxon period. The bend is almost at right angles. To one side of the angle, one face is decorated; a triplet of straight grooved lines, the central one minimally wider, starts close to a finished straight edge and runs to a break. The lines are flanked on either side by a scatter of punched annulets (about 1mm in diameter), part-annulets and large dots. On the other side of the angle, the sheet is undecorated, although it has bends which may have formed a loose corrugation. It has a short length of original edge which mee…

An incomplete Medieval copper-alloy Thimble of late Medieval date (AD 1400-1540). The object is a domed-shaped heavy duty finger thimble. It comprises a domed tonsured crown and flared body which tapers into a sub-circular base, which is missing small sections, likely the result of post-depositional agencies. The body of the object is covered with fourteen rows of irregularly spaced and sized indentations which are structured vertically along the base and in concentric circles along the crown. The motif ceases with an incised, circumferential, double border, 1.69mm from …

Copper alloy brooch. Cast long equal armed brooch (cf. PAS KENT-2479 [sic], which is held to cite an example as Thorle’s Group IIIc (3c). Triangular terminals terminate in a rounded knop at either end; a keeled concavo-convex mid bow lies between them, with ring and dot sparsely distributed on both terminals and bow, probably symmetrically, along with simpler stamped pits on the bow. A pair of U-shaped lugs behind one terminal represent a pin seat and the stub of a catch remains behind the other. A greyish cast may arise from a tin rich alloy or the use of base silver (cf.

Copper alloy or base silver brooch. Cast ansate brooch with lozenge-shaped terminals with corner knops and flat central rhomboid panels [one terminal mostly lost], and a central keeled concavo-convex mid bow which confers a D-shaped profile. Eight relatively large ring and dot are symmetrically distributed across the bow [four] and terminals [the rest, of an inferred total of ten]. Paired U-shaped lugs behind one terminal represent a pin seat and catch plate remains behind the other. The metal has a greyish tint which may point to the use of a tin-rich alloy or base silver.

Copper alloy buckle. Cast D-shaped or single looped buckle frame with a curved and expanded outer edge with stamped pits crowded across its display side only, and flatter or thinner than other examples in the same group. A shallow pin rest retains a spot of rust which might hint at the former presence of an iron pin. Dave Haldenby kindly opines this buckle may be of a different date to its companions from the same area. A greyish tint may point to a higher proportion of tin in the metal mix, or possibly use of a base silver alloy. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 800-1000 Length: 17.7m…

Copper alloy pin head. An almost-complete Middle Saxon pin head, described by the source record as sub-discoidal whereas the object now appears to be sub-triangular, with double collar. Shank lost. Multiple ring and dot decorates one side; reverse is plain and the upper edge appears reworked. This is perhaps due to damage where the metal is very thin and has resulted in a frilled edge. Similar large disc-headed pins are found on all East Yorkshire sites where a Viking presence is suspected, and on Anglo-Saxon sites far to the South.
