Description: | A copper-alloy fragment of a possible strap fitting. It is roughly triangular in shape, measuring 12.5mm by 24mm in size. The central triangular part has a projecting circular suspension loop, measuring 2.9mm in diameter. The tip of the triangle (opposite the loop) curves back upon itself sharply and is incomplete due to an old break. Projecting from one side of the central triangle there is a long arm, c13mm in length and 1.6mm in width, which is also incomplete due to an old break, it is likely that a similar projection originally protruded from the opposite side of the object. No parallel could be found for this object, especially due to its fragmentary nature, however it could be a decorative strap/belt fitting of some kind and is most likely to be late medieval or early post-medieval in date.
