Description: | 1: A copper-alloy mount in the shape of an acorn, 35mm in length and 18mm in width. The front face is convex and the bottom half of the acorn decorated by cross-hatch grooves, at this end the acorn also has a circular knop, which on its back face has an intergral rivet. The back face is concave and undecorated. 2: A copper-alloy acorn-shaped mount, 32mm in length and 17mm in width, this mount is flat with a slight transverse groove across its centre, delimiting the acorn itself and its case. There is one semi-circular knop at each end of the mount. On the back face there are two integral rivets, one near to each end of the acorn. These mounts are most likely to be medieval in date, however, there is a possibility that they are roman as similar acorn mounts were also used in the roman period.
