Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy probable strap fitting, possibly a belt mount. The front face of this object is curvilinear and roughly rectangular in shape, 26mm in length and 8mm in width, and tapers towards its broken end. It also has a transverse raised moulding with grooves either side of it across its centre. The back of the wider end of this part has a cylindrical shaped protrusion, 22mm in length. It seems that these two parts, both curvilinear, would have originally have been joined at both ends, now one end of this object is missing due to an old break. No parallel could be found for this object although it seems most likely to be Roman in date.
