Description: | An incomplete copper alloy vessel mount or chape dating to the Roman period.The mount is peltate in shape with an inward curving perimeter suggesting that this is one half of a symmetrical object. The three peaks of the pelta are bifurcated.Similar examples were found at Housesteads and South Shields Roman forts and these items are usually related to military activity. Similar objects on the PAS database are ESS-A61324, SUSS-EA12D2 and WILT-6F9C36. They may be vessel mounts, are often associated with the military and tend to be given a 4th century date.
