Description: | Early medieval copper alloy bell, 28mm in length, 26mm wide and 15mm thick with a weight of 7.41grams. The object is triangular in form and hexagonal in cross section and is incomplete. It is missing its apex, clapper and part of its lower edge. The object is formed of six triangular panels and those which are complete have a concave lower edge, forming points at each corner. This type of bell is described as a 'Norse' bell because of their association with Scandinavian sites and date to the period 900-1100.
