Description: | A group of four objects from the same field, though not necessarily deposited together, all of probably Early Medieval date. All four 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 site.There is one angular chunk (9.53mm long, 6.59mm wide and 5.11mm thick, 0.48g). It has a one concave edge which looks as if it was a hole through the piece, but the rest of the piece has now broken across the hole. One face is complete,in width, but broken at bother ends.The other pieces are all rounded or irregular globular lumps. One is sub circular in section and has rounded faceted ends. It is 8.37mm long, 4.95mm wide and 4.49mm thick. 0.27g. Another is irregular and globular. It is 6.65mm long, 5.93mm wide and 4.80mm thick. 0.64g. The smallest is irregular globular but flattened. It is 7.96mm long, 6.68mm wide and 4.07mm thick. 0.53g.Compare SWYOR-497F82 (2011 T384), SWYOR-0E2702 (2012 T153) 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.
