A 7th century Anglo-Saxon gold pendant was found in May 1979, on land to the north of Glentham Grange. The pendant is drop-shaped, with a loop for suspension and has two garnets set one above the other in collars of sheet gold. The overall height of the pendant is 23mm, with the greatest width being 14mm, and overall weight of 2.275g. The back is of gold sheet which was folded over the top to form a corrugated suspension loop. The edges are defined by two strands of gold wire, the outer one twisted whilst the inner is beaded. The two sub-triangular garnets are on the centre line, with the upper garnet en cabochon whilst the lower is cut flat. Each garnet is set in a collar of thin sheet gold, and secured by a plain gold wire twisted together and tightened at the top. Around the base of each setting is a ribbed gold wire, while the space between this and the edge is filled with an untidy pattern of filigree spirals and loops, also in ribbed wire. The pendant was found in ploughsoil by the local farmer, on a site which has produced evidence of substantial Roman occupation (see MLI50573). A slightly earlier find of a small-long brooch of 5th century date was also found in the same vicinity in 1977 (see MLI51046). There is, so far, no known associated material with the pendant, and it cannot be ascertained whither it was lost or was part of a grave-group. The pendant was judged not to be Treasure Trove at an enquiry in Lincoln, and was subsequently obtained by Lincoln Museum in 1980. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}
