A fragment of a copper alloy locking arm of a Medieval double loop 'locking buckle' (c. AD 1350-1450). The object is 24.54mm high and has a sub-rectangular cross section. There is a break at the top. The object tapers from 4.45mm wide and 4.09mm thick near the break, to 2.84mm wide and 3.09mm thick near the bottom of the shaft, before expanding to a maximum 4.08mm wide and 5.48mm thick on the lozengiform foot or knop. The object has a largely dull, dark grey patina with some cream coloured sections and small patches of possible white metal coating. There are similar obje…

A complete copper alloy ball of probable Post-Medieval date (AD 1550-1900). The object is composed of a sphere of copper-alloy, with dark green glossy patina and minor surface pitting.  The object’s function is unclear but could be a Gaming Piece or Ball Bearing. Diameter: 12.4mm, Weight: 8.60 g The metal is dark green with a smooth patina. Due to the lack wear marks, it seems more likely that this might be a Post-Medieval gaming piece.  Compare: BH-DBB686, NLM-56E8F6, SUR-2CE255 and SWYOR-CF23D7.

Unidentified object fragment. A small shard from a flat thin [1mm] plate which is broken on all sides and bears a figurative inscribed scene on one flat face. This depicts the head of a creature, perhaps a fish or serpent with a rather human-looking eye and expression, with flames or other issue from its elongated snout. This might represent some entirely different subject in this form, for example a constellation. A border interrupted by a triangular-topped feature appears below the image and indeterminate elements of the wider composition appear above. Suggested date: Late Medie…

An incomplete, copper alloy object, possibly casting waste of unknown date (c. 2400 BC - AD 1900). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and sub-rectangular in cross section. On one side, there is a raised, triangular section that is 6.41mm thick, after which the thickness drops to 3.78mm. The object then gradually expands in thickness until it is 6.52mm thick on the other side. In the centre, there are two main oblique, transverse grooves that run across the width of the object, with two sub-triangular indentations between them on the right-hand side. The reverse is largely flat, exc…

An unidentified lead object, most likely dating to the post medieval period (c.AD 1600-1800). The object consists of a strip of lead which is L shaped in plan and rectangular in cross-section. It would have been T-shaped in plan, but one arm has been folded over to the back of the object. The front face is worn, but does have some relief decoration present, consisting of a raised border and pellets. The reverse is partially covered by the folded arm, but a raised line and two incised lines are present. The object is grey / brown in colour and has an uneven surface patina.  …

An unidentified fragment, probably of a silver object; (possibly of copper alloy with a high tin content), of suggested Roman date c. AD 43-410. The fragment is flat with one face decorated in cast relief comprising a curved band of cabling and feathering, possibly depicting hair.  The reverse is undecorated and slightly convex with a silvery surface with irregular pitting. The edges are irregular, one is clean and straight suggesting it has been cut, the rest are irregular and two appear to be cabled indicating they are original edges. The thickness tapers from 2.35mm …

Copper alloy unidentified object fragment. A fragment of pressed metal sheet with a series of closely-spaced grooves with a central impression, and with a small [diameter 1.7mm] fixing hole to one side. The use of a riveted fixing may point to an earlier date than would usually be considered for an otherwise non-diagnostic scrap. Possibly a mount from the corner of an object.
