A unique early medieval assemblage of tools and associated
fragments of metal and glass was found during the excavation of a
prehistoric and Roman site in 1981. Post-excavation revealed that
the objects were Anglo-Saxon and had been placed in wooden boxes in
a grave. The tools included hammer heads, an anvil, tongs, clips
and snips plus punches, files and knife blades as well as iron
structural items. Ornate pieces of copper alloy and silver and
garnets were also recorded. The grave possibly dates from the mid
to late 7th century while some of the objects may have been in
circulation for the preceding century. No other Saxon features were
discovered on the site but the nature of the assemblage suggests
that the person in the grave was a jeweller, possibly itinerant,
who may have been skilled in ironwork as well.
