Context (Analysis)
Knocker, G. M. (1956): 'At 105 South at a depth of 2 feet 5 inches, in association with fragmentary bird bones in the west bank of the trench, was found a short length of bronze strip .25 inches wide with oval holes in it forming a series of figures of eight. (F1 on Fig. 6 (ii) and Fig. 11.3). Exactly similar bronze strips have been found recently during private, and as yet unpublished, excavations in the presumed Norman ring motte known as 'The Crump' at Berden, Hertfordshire,7 miles north of Bishop's Stortford.'

Knocker, G. M. (1956): 'Pierced bronze strip with evidence of gilding, perhaps once part of a circlet, found at S.105 at 18 inches. Exactly similar strips have been found in the presumed Norman ring-motte known as 'The Crump' at Berden in Hertfordshire,seven miles north of Bishop's Stortford. This find is as yet unpublished. The Framlingham strip may thus be Norman. (F.1 on Fig. 6 (ii)).'
