Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy clapper bell. Conical in shape measuring 13.5mm in height and with a rim diameter of 13.6mm. The integral suspension loop is incomplete due to wear on its upper edge. It has a small circular perforation, measuring 2.3mm in diameter, and projects from the centre of the flat top of the bell. The rim of the bell is slightly distorted and damaged, again due to old breaks now worn. Inside the bell traces of corroded iron can be seen, presumably the remains of an iron clapper. No exact parallel could be found for this clapper bell, it is however of a similar conical shape and has an integral suspension loop as do late early-medieval norse bells. This bell could therefore concievably be late early-medieval or medieval in date.
