Description: | Copper alloy ?mount fragment. interlocking lozenge shaped outline, bent (towards the back) and broken at one end. The back is flat around the edges and irregular slightly concave between. At the terminal a 3.5mm diameter hole has chamfered sides. The outline is determined by a simple relief woven strap design, with a central circle, border pellets and single curving line; intervening recessed areas have all over fine punched dots. Surviving length 37mm, width 26mm, thickness 3mm. In spite of the context (c. 50m from a Viking brooch) the style and condition of the piece suggest a later date, perhaps 16th/17th century? A hemispherical button of post-med date was also found on this field.
