Description: | A small fragment of copper alloy with a rivet still in position. The object is rectangular in plan and on end is an old break. The complete end is rounded. It is D shaped in section. A separate copper alloy rivet, which is square in section survives in the centre of the reverse. It is believed to be Early Medieval in date because its patina and condition are very similar to other Early Medieval finds from the same site, but it could also be medieval or post medieval. Its function is unknown but it could have been part of binding, maybe from a shield. It has no decoration on it. It has a length of 8.17mm, width 5.47mm, thickness 2.80mm, weight 0.56g. A close parallel has not been found.
