Description: | Large cast cu-alloy mount, probably dating from the Roman period. It is of semi-circular shape and hollow inside. The outer surface looks worn and pitted with some abrasion around the curve. The inside does not look worked or smoothed down. A small fragment from the outer 'wall' is missing and there is a short tear, but the mount is complete otherwise. It seems to have been a protective mount of some description, possibly for the terminal of a wooden handle, foot or other kind of implement. It is undecorated.
