Description: | A broken copper-alloy sheet mount of probable post-medieval date. The body of the artefact is sub-square/rectangular, with a triangular protrusion to one side with a rounded end. At the corners adjacent to and below the protrusion is a circular perforation, with a third hole of similar proportions (Dia.: c. 5.8mm) centrally below them. There is a small perforation at the apex of the protrusion. A diagonal break from below one of the corners travels through part of the adjacent hole and halves the central hole. The other corner hole has a fracture between it and the edge adjacent to the perforation. The longer surviving side has an irregular small protrusion. There is a rounded removal at the end opposite the triangular protrusion. The object has been bent in profile following various old strikes. It now has a variable mid-green colour.
