narrow end is coarsely serrated. Perhaps a tool end, used for
combed decoration. Length 23.0mm, width 15.5mm.
4616-17 Fig 201 SF LWC 3804(C), K520 F291. Pit. Period 2. Two
triangular plates with rounded terminals. One is bent. One
only illustrated. Each has a burred rivet hole in the main
body of the plate and in the terminal. The remains of a rivet
survive in the terminal hole of the illustrated example.
Similar to a ?harness fitting (?strap-loop) from Hofheim
(Ritterling 1913, Taf 13, 15), but lacking any sign of a hinge
on the end opposite the terminal. Length 38.0mm, width
16.0mm.
4618 Fig 201 SF LWC 3801 (C), K526. Make-up. Period 2. Possibly
a jangle from harness. The object is made in two pieces: a
convex disc with concentric mouldings fixed by a domeheaded
rivet to a flat back plate with a projecting hook for
suspension at the top and a bud-like terminal at the bottom.
Length 32.5mm, diameter 17.5 mm.
4619 Fig 202 SF LWC 3820(C), K541. Period 1 destruction. Period

4620 Fig 202 SF LWC 2421(C), M78. Rampart 1e. A socketed
terminal fitting with moulded stem. The bottom is damaged
but was asymmetrical, comprising a rectangular piece with
two projections set on one side of a circular moulding. From
suspension loops on a moulding approximately half way up
the object hang two (originally three) leaf-shaped pendants,
or jangles, with enamelled centres and bud-like terminals. It
is these pendants which indicate that the socket must have
been at the top of the object, as it is only by hanging that way
up that the enamel is visible. They also imply that the object
was portable, or mobile in some way. Length with the
pendants 51 0mm.
4621 Fig 202 SF LWC 2557(C), M125. Dump between Street 3
and wall, and over Street 3. c 125-150. Lunular object with a
perforation in the centre of the crescent near the inner edge
and a bent rectangular section stem projecting from the
opposite edge. This stem is perhaps a straightened-out
suspension loop. Length 34.0mm.
4623 Fig 203 SF BKC 901(C)/1019, D300. Town ditch fill. Late
Period 6 or Anglo-Saxon. A crescent-shaped object with
knobbed terminals. In two pieces. On the upper side are two
