Description: | An almost complete, cast copper-alloy bell with a hexagonal-shaped body. At the terminal of each of facets there is a rounded lobe, now either damaged or rolled under. The bell is misses part of the base. There is an integral rectangular suspension loop at the apex, it is pierced. 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).
