Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy strap fitting or mount. Roughly half of this mount survives, the rest is now missing due to an old break. When complete this mount would have been lozenge shaped, it now measures 21.5mm in surviving length and 15mm in width at its widest central point. The complete terminal has a protruding knop at its tip. The front face of the mount is slightly rounded and the back face hollow. Projecting from the centre of the complete terminal end of the mount there is an incomplete integral rectangular shaped loop. Measuring 7.1mm in survivng length and 3.5mm in width. Although no parallel could be found for this mount it is most likely to be Roman in date, due to its form and its discovery on a Roman site.
