Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy sheet-metal bell, dating from the Medieval to post-Medieval periods.The upper hemisphere of the bell chamber survives, albeit in a squashed state. The apex loop has been formed from a parallel-sided strip of metal, the ends of which have been secured by pushing them through a slit in the chamber and folding them outwards. At the base of the surviving half of the chamber, there is a ridge, attached to which are the remnants of the lower half of the bell. The object measures 43mm long, up to 25.7mm wide, 27.1mm high and weighs 15.6g.Similar bells have been found in excavations in London, in both Medieval (see Egan and Pritchard 1991: 338-339) and early post-Medieval layers (Egan 2005: 57).
