The stone is micaceous sandstone and has been worked to a near-spherical form. There is a flat area with a central indentation. This may have been used as a base, indicating that it may have been used as a decorative architectural feature, of post medieval to modern date. It is also possible that it may have been used as shot from a gun with a 3.5 inch bore. Stone shot was sometimes used before iron shot was introduced in the 17th century

A roughly squared piece of jet or similar black geological material, probably dating to the Roman period, c. AD 122-410. The 'jet' is sub-cuboid, missing one corner. The upper and lower faces are natural in appearance, having become removed from a larger piece by the natural cleaving of the rock, but two side faces are squared, suggesting that these were cut/shaped.

A piece of chert, possibly worked. If it has been knapped from a core, it does not appear to have been retouched subsequently. The object does not have any of the clear hallmarks of human intervention - it does not have a clear bulb of percussion or striking platform. What appears at first to be retouch on the lateral edges may actually be natural damage and wear. The chert has a pale brown colour. Find not photographed.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint of probable Neolithic date. The flint is sub-triangular in shape and resembles an arrowhead in shape. However, the flint has no invasive retouch and it retains the bulb of percussion and striking platform, a very unusual feature in Neolithic or Bronze Age arrowheads as the bulb of percussion is normally removed to facilitate hafting. The 'arrowhead' shape therefore seems likely to be coincidence rather than design. Very fine possible retouch resembling a saw blade may have been applied to both lateral edges, although it is possible that this has been caused during use …

An oval shaped fine-grained sedimentary rock. The edges of this stone seem to have been augmented by chipping which have created a slightly sharpened edge. However the nature of the stone, being relatively soft, would preclude it being used as a scraping tool in most situations. The find of this stone is from an area which has produced other stone artefacts and this has been recorded as part of that assemblage. Measures 49.4mm length, 40.5mm width, is 12.2mm thick and weighs 34.03 grams

Large copper alloy disc. Irregular shape and bent across the centre. 41mm in diameter. Lots of scratch marks on both sides but particuarly on the inside close to the fold. Exact function is uncertain but may be a scrap piece of copper alloy use to clean metallic/conductive parts on machinery. Form is similar to coins and tokens used as a 17th to 19th century love tokens, but the scratch marks on theinside suggest it had a more practical function.

A plaster cast of a decorated bone. Although the cast is modern, the original object from which the cast was taken has some similarities to Neolithic decorative objects. The object is 138.3mm long and 47.3mm in diameter. It is a very precise plaster cast of a cattle femur which was made in two pieces which have been glued together, allowing the detail from the inside of the hollow bone to be faithfully reproduced. A thin skim of fine plaster was then put over the top to hide the join. This outer layer has been decorated with incised lines. There are three bands of circumferential line…
