Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy strap fitting or belt mount, of probable Post Medieval dating (c. 1600 to 1800 AD onwards).The strap fitting is circular in plan, but due to soil pressure, is now displaying a lateral warping. It was probably originally flat or slightly domed. A circular hole is present, located off centre, towards the top of the strap fitting. Two small copper rivets have been punched through the strap fitting on either side of the hole.It is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina.It measures 14.75mm in length, 15.79mm wide and 2.78mm thick. It weighs 0.8 grams.It was probably a strap fitting, but this identification is not definite as no exact parallels have yet been found.
