Description: | An almost complete cast copper alloy bell in two parts of probable early Medieval date. The bell has a conical body and around the base of the bell, there are two incised lines. The remains of the attachment pint for the missing iron clapper are present in the top of the apex within the bell. The integrally cast suspension loop can be seen at the apex, it is sub-circular and pierced. The metal has traces of a coating, possibly gilding. 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-35EBA8.
