Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy stirrup strap mount of late Anglo-Saxon date of Williams Class A type 14 (Williams 1997, 75-77, fig 49). The strap mount is in the shape of a cross the base of which expands and curves back to form a flange, it measures 46.12mm in total length and 23.43mm in width. One arm of the cross is now missing due to an old break. The surviving arms are rectangular with rounded temrinals and undecorated, they do not appear to have had zoomorphic terminals at all, although other examples of this type do have. There is a circular hole through the upper end of the mount. There are two parallel rivet holes filled with corroded iron above the flange. The flange is at 45 degrees and there is a mass of corroded iron behind it on the back face of the mount.
