Description: | A fragment of decorated gold sheet. The fragment is flat and tapers from 9mm to 8mm in width. The tapering edges are original; either end is broken. The broken edges are rough and do not look as if they have been intentionally cut to size. One side is decorated with stamped reversed 'S'-shaped motifs. Each 'S'-shaped motif is made from six or seven pellets. The fragment is of uncertain age and function, but is of a style that would suggest it is over 300 years old. The field on which the gold fragment was found has also produced large quantities of Roman and Anglo-Saxon artefacts. The object fulfils the Treasure Act (1996) in that it is more than 300 years old and has a precious metal content exceeding 10%. Adam Daubney
