Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object. It is rectangular in shape, measuring (surviving length) 21.5mm in length and 19mm in width. The front face has five small circular indentations, two either side and one at the terminal end, measuring 8mm in diameter and 3mm in depth, with a longitudinal indentation inbetween them. There is a corroded deposit inside some of these indentation, although what this may have been is not known. There are smaller circular indentations, one in each corner of the complete terminal end. There is an integral suspension loop, measuring 12mm in length and 11mm in width with a cantral circular perforation through it measuring 4mm in diameter. No parallel could be found for this object and its function is unknown. However, it is most likely to be late medieval or post-medieval in date.
