Late Medieval to Post- Medieval date (c. AD 1475 - c. AD 1600) cast and turned copper alloy candlestick . The stick and socket for the candle are complete but the seperate base is missing. The stick and socket are circular in section. The stick has two evenly spaced raised collars and thickens slightly just before the socket. It varys in diameter along its length due to the turning from 13.0mm at the narrowest point to 14.4mm at the widest and is 18.8mm and 18.5mm at the collars.

At the top the stick expands out into the socket with a distinct carination between the expansion and sides of the socket. The socket sides continue to widen from 26.1mm in diameter at the base to 27.8mm at the plain rim, they are 39.9mm tall. It is also slightly irregular on the sides from turning. The base of the socket extends down into the shaft. It is now filled with dirt but is at least 53.6mm deep.
At the base of the stick it flares out to 21.3mm in diameter before stepping it creating a flat border around a projecting circular rivet 17.2mm in diameter. There is an off centred indent in the rivet which appears to be full of a white metal solder. the rivet and solder would have held it to the base.

A candlestick of similar design is illustrated by Brownsword and dated late fifteenth/sixteenth centuries (Brownsword 1985, 'English Latten Domestic Candlesticks 1400-1700'. no. 7). Similar candlesticks or candle holders are recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see IOW-EEB477, NCL-9794D5 and SUR-C1D304.
