Description: | An incomplete late Saxon copper alloy bell. The bell has a hexagonal body with worn traces of three ring-and-dots on each face. The suspension loop at the apex is largely missing. The rim is damaged but each 'side' would have been concave. In the centre is the corroded remains of the iron staple for missing clapper on inside. Cf. example illustrated and discussed in Mainman and Rogers (2000) Finds from Anglo-Scandinavian York, 2599, fig.1294. Probably of Norse origin, 10th century.
