Description: | A copper alloy circular mount, which is medieval or post medieval. The mount is a disc which is 40.2mm in diameter with a flat topped circular projection in the centre, making the whole look rather like a wide brimmed hat. It is decorated with irregularly spaced ring and dot motifs round the edge. There are also three evenly spaced circular rivet holes at the edge, one of which has torn through to the edge of the mount. The reverse of the projection is hollow and rough. The upper surface is dark grey and glossy, suggesting that the mount may have had a white metal coating. There are also file marks visible but there is hardly any corrosion. No close parallel has been found, but the uneven decoration and condition of the metal suggest a medieval or post medieval date.
