Title
Stud
Description
English: Group of three unidentified objects, possibly decorative studs, golf-tee shaped. Each has a hemispherical cup with a square-sectioned integral spike projecting from its base. There is a dimple inside the base of each cup (in line with the spike). The cups may once have been filled with something, although there is no trace of this now. Red-brown metal with some patches of light-green overlying.

1. Complete. The end of the spike is slightly curved. Length 18.3mm, diameter of cup 14.3-14.9mm, internal depth of cup (not including dimple) 3.7mm, thickness of wall of cup at rim c.1.6mm, width & thickness of spike at junction with cup 3.7mm & 3.3mm, length of spike (slightly bent) 13.7mm, weight 2.98g.

2. Complete. Length 12.7mm, diameter of cup 14.8-15.2mm, internal depth of cup (not including dimple) 3.4mm, thickness of wall of cup at rim 1.4mm-1.9mm, width & thickness of spike at junction with cup 4.3mm, length of spike 7.5mm, weight 3.19g.

3. Icomplete - tip of spike broken off. Underside of cup less convex than the other two. Length (incomplete) 14.6mm, diameter of cup 15.2mm-15.8mm, internall depth of cup (not including dimple) 3.4mm, thickness of wall of cup at rim 1.4mm-2.0mm, width & thickness of spike at junction with cup 3.8mm-4.3mm, length of spike (incomplete) 9.8mm, weight 2.74g.

Four other objects like this are recorded on the database, numbers DENO-410643 (Hazelwood, Derbyshire), DENO-C68707 (South Wingfield, Derbyshire), DENO-3344F6 (Derbyshire - no parish) & NARC111 (Bishop Auckland, Durham). DENO-3344F6 contains the remains of colourless enamel/glass inside the cup. These are possibly Iron Age decorative studs - see three leaded bronze pins with cupped circular terminals containing red or clear glass, from Dinorben Hill-fort, Denbighshire, in Savory 1976 ('Guide Catalogue of the Early Iron Age Collections', NMW CArdiff) p.75 no.s 117, 118, 119 & fig 105 no.s 8-10. However only DENO-3344F6 contains glass/enamel in the cup, and has a patina which might suggest an Iron Age date. They are more likely to be post-Medieval.
