Copper alloy stud of unknown date. The stud has a triangular sectioned head with six irregular facets rising to a rounded point.The shaft is square in section and tapers gradually from the head 7.6mm to a blunt point. The stud 's plainness makes it hard to date it precisely. Database examples extend from the Roman to the late Post Medieval periods. It is probably a decorative stud for harnessing or furniture. c.f.

A complete stone weight of uncertain date. The chalk has been shaped into a oval with a single pierced hole at one apex (the hole widens through the item, diameter 10mm on one surface and 15mm on the other surface). The pierced hole shows no sign of wear. Stone weights are very difficult to date unless found in association with other archaeological finds or remains, as the form changed little from prehistory until the post medieval period.

An unidentified copper alloy item, function and date uncertain. A copper alloy plate with a regular pattern of circular holes. One edge (top in photo) is seemingly complete with a straight line. The left side (in photo) is straight but runs through the middle of three circular depressions, which are in the same pattern as the rest of the plate but have not pierced through the plate. The bottom edge also runs through a series of these circular depressions, but it is not possible to establish if these depressions pierced the thickness or not. The right edge is ragged and also cuts throu…

A possible Early Medieval (Viking) to Modern gold ingot/hack gold, dated to the mid 9th to mid 20th Centuries, AD 850-2000. The ingot is roughly sub-rectangular in shape with one end rounded and the other broken and flat. Dimensions: length: 13.14mm; width: 9.67mm; thickness: 5.83mm; weight: 4.16g. Gold ingots are traditionally difficult to date out of context but they are often attributed to a Viking date. The Vikings had a bullion economy where the purity and weight of the metal were more important than the form. Although this bullion economy primarily utilised silver it …
