Description: | An incomplete or fragment cast copper-alloy fitting. In plan the fitting is sub-oval and is lunate with knopped terminals which meet along the upper edge. The lower edge is the widest portion of the object, and the external edge is abraded and is thought to be a broken edge. The object is semi-circular in section, and is flat on the reverse. The surface of the object has traces of a light grey/green patina otherwise the surface is slightly abraded. It measures 14.88mm long, 12.76mm wide and 3.78mm thick. It weighs 1.7g. A similar object is illustrated by Viner (Viner, L. 'The Finds: Copper Alloy' in Timby, J.R. Excavations at Kingscote and Wycomb, Gloucestershire Cotswold Archaeological Trust), No. 13.3 which has a hinged element protruding from the lower edge. This example is described as possibly associated with the military or possibly modern. The recorded example is likely to Roman due to the nature of the patina.
