Description: | A copper-alloy unidentified probably Iron Age object. This object consists of three circular discs, each measuring c10mm in diameter and c4mm in thickness, which are arranged in an overall triangular shape with the two opposing discs, forming the base of the 'triangle' joined by an integral curvilinear bar. The object measures c18mm by c22mm in total size. The front faces of the three discs are decorated with an indented ring and dot motif. The back face is flat and undecorated. No parallel could be found for this object and its function is unclear, it could possibly be a strap fitting of some sort but it is difficult to see how it would have functioned as such as the hole in between the two opposing discs is small. Alternatively it could have been attached to a larger object via the hole, although no trace of any such object can be seen. It is believd to be Iron Age in date due to its style.
