Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy post-Medieval mount (1600-1700). The mount is flat at the front and the edges appear to have been bevelled although some material has been lost around the edges due to corrosion and abrasion. In plan the mount is 'keyhole'-shaped with a semi-circular lobed knop at one end and a triangular pointed knop at the opposite end. On the rear face is the remains of two central integral tapering rivets/spikes. These are both circular in cross-section. The front face of the mount has a dark green patina over most of its surface with traces of a white metal coating which is probably tin. The rear face is generally pitted and corroded.25.2 x 9.1 x 6.1mm. Weight: 2.04g.A similar mount from South Somerset has been dated by Read to the 17th century (Read 2001, 28, fig. 20, ref: 292). A number of these mounts have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see find from Martin Parish, Hampshire: HAMP-97BA8.
