Description: | Post Medieval belt mount, with slight longitudinal curve, sub-rectangular with oblique notches forming cabled borders on slightly angled short sides, perforated lug projects from straight edge, other edge with two small notches between a pair of large semi-circular notches and two small flanking notches, plate with circular perforation paired with that in lug, between two smaller rivet-holes containing remains of corroded iron rivets. 31 x 31mm. Of a type related to the mount described above and illustrated in Read (1995), no.716, and discussed in a letter to Treasure Hunting (July 2005) by A. de Reuck, who suggests their use as ladies' belt clasps, perhaps supporting a chatelaine. 16th century.
