Description: | A square Romano-British harness mount with a convex front, four lentoid apertures and the stub of an integral round-sectioned attachment shank on the hollow reverse. The four apertures are set lozengewise and form a quatrefoil, or alternatively an equal-armed cross patty between them. It measures 24 x 23.5 mm. No close parallel has been found, but quatrefoils of this form commonly occur on Romano-British metalwork, especially in enamel. It probably dates from the 2nd-3rd century. It was recovered in an area containing Middle Saxon pottery.
