Description: | An almost complete, cast copper-alloy bell with a hexagonal-shaped body. At the terminal of each of the angles on the hexagon there is a small lobed extension. The bell is misses part of the base, due to breaks, this has resulted in two lobed extensions being broken off. There is an integral rectangular suspension loop at the apex, it is pierced and this is off-centre. The metal is pitted and is a mid greenish-brown in colour. It is probably early-medieval in date, 10th - 11th century. A similarly shaped one was found in a late 10th century deposit from York (Mainman and Rogers; 2000; 2599). Similar to YORYM-7EA6F8 and YORYM-D84BF5 both found at Snape with Thorpe (North Yorkhire).
