Description: | Cast copper alloy stud with a thin sheet head in the shape of a circular domed centre surrounded by a flat octagonal border with short straight sides projecting out at about 45 degrees, some of which are bent inwards. The pin is missing but there is a scar in the centre of the hollow back where it was attached. The head is 13.9mm by 13mm and 0.3mm thick; it weighs 0.5 grams. Several identical examples SUSS-DBFDA7, SUSS-E61F33, SUSS-7697A3 were found near to this example, of which the first is complete. Such a simple stud is difficult to date precisely but the thinness of the cast head may suggest a Post Medieval date (c.1500-1800 AD).
