A gilt-bronze decorated roundel has been found on the site of the Church of St Helen at Hemswell. The object was a slightly convex disc of bronze, measuring 45-47mm in diameter. It was decorated with a chip-carved interlace design of figures of eight, and was originally gilded. The reverse had four small rivets for attachment. A small hole near the edge suggests that it may later have been used as a pendant. Both the details of manufacture and the style of decoration suggest an 8th century date. The roundel is held by Lincoln Museum. {1}{2}{3}
