Description: | a copper alloy fragment, probably from an Anglo-Saxon girdle hanger. It is a rectangular strip, slightly curved and possibly distorted in shape due to heat. It has a central longitudinal row of ring and dot motifs, with a single horizontal groove at one incomplete terminal. The strip measures 21.51mm in length and is 8mm wide and 2.25mm thick. It weighs 2.16g. Other remains of early Anglo-Saxon date have been recorded from this area, many of which appear to have been from cremations. A girdle hanger with similar decoration was found at Icklingham and is illustrated in West, 1998, fig.53.2
