Description: | Four rivets found in an area 6ft by 10ft. Their measurements in length and diameter are: No.1 is 59mm with a head 10mm in diameter, No.2 is 53mm (but slightly bent) and head 6mm, No.3 is 34mm by 10mm, No.4 is 22mm by 10mm. The rivets are rolled from ?a single piece of copper alloy, pointed at one end and expanding. The head is flat and prominent, sticking out from the shank. It is formed by the sheet metal being folded back on itself. All the rivets display this except for No. 2 which has either lost its head or been cut that way in antiquity. All four points are sharp. Similar examples of rolled rivets from archaeological contexts have been dated to the medieval period.
