Description: | Strap-slide consisting of a flat plate with a rectangular loop on the reverse. The plate is highly polished and has a nice grey-green patina. It may have been circular or oval originally, but only a very small fraction of the edge can confidently be said to be original. The current dimensions are 17.5 x 14.5 mm. The loop, although made from a chunky piece of circular-section copper-alloy rod, is rather small, measuring just 9 x 3 mm internally. There is an odd blob projecting from the outer edge of the centre of the loop which might be a casting flash. A somewhat similar object is illustrated in the collection of finds from the Roman fort at South Shields (Allason-Jones and Miket 1984, no. 3.965).
