Description: | Copper alloy possible fitting, probably dating to the medieval period.. The fitting could be part of supension mount for a vessel so it could have been held be a chain (Egan and Pritchard 1998: 179; fig 146). The fitting is broken at the top and bent at one of sides. It is rectangular in plan and made from two sheets of copper alloy rivited togehter along the centre; there are four rivits all are large and have rounded heads. There is a slightly convex shape to this sheet of copper alloy which could justify the assumption it is the supension mount for a large copper alloy cooking pot. At the attachment edge only the front plate carries down below the rivits and has a linear groove running just above the edge. The edge that would had had the hole for the chain is missing.
