Description: | A cast copper alloy bell. The bell has been cast as one piece. The bell would once have been conical in shape, but has been bent out of shape. The sheet metal used to make the bell is very thin. The bell has been decorated with five concentric incised lines. Three of the rings of lines are near to the base of the bell. The other two are nearer the apex. The apex of the bell has a small rounded loop. Iron staining from the iron chain can still be seen. Inside the apex of the bell a small loop, has been positioned to hold the pea, which is attached to the loop via a thin strip of copper alloy, looped over around the apex loop. This bell is post-medieval in date.The metal is a dark brownish-red colour
