Description: | A group of three objects from the same field, though not necessarily deposited together, all of probably Early Medieval date. All three objects are fragments of waste silver, probably evidence of silver working. They are undecorated and have no dating evidence themselves, but are from a known Early Medieval productive site.There is one larger piece of thick plate (28.9mm long, 15.46mm wide and 4.09mm thick, 4.83g) with all but one of the edges broken or cut. The remaining edge is rounded. One face is irregular. The other is smooth but with wrinkles and small blisters.There is one melted lump of strands and blobs of metal attached to which is a sub triangular piece of black material which leaves a brown mark on paper (possibly jet). The whole melted piece is 14mm long, 8.36mm wide and 7.69mm thick. 1.25g.There is one tiny angular sub-square piece of particularly bright silver colour. Two of the edges look to be breaks. It is 4.32mm long, 3.88mm wide and 3.27mm thick. 0.3g.Compare SWYOR-497F82 (2011 T384) and SWYOR-2D5382.As these fragments are probably more than 300 years old, and made of silver, they meet the requirements of the 1996 Treasure Act.
