Description: | An unidentified cast copper alloy object of probable post medieval date. The flat trefoil-shaped object measures 24mm by 22.9mm by 2.4mm and weighs 5.3g. Each lobe of the trefoil is perforated by a hole and in between each lobe there is a small knop. Off centre on the back of the fitting is an integrally cast T-shaped rivet.Geoff Egan states: "It is difficult to be definitive as to use, but the countersunk attachment holes and bevelled edge imply a post-medieval date. I supect something like a slot-occupying holder, perhaps a book or box clasp of some sort as it appears too chunky for dress."
