In one case, three fragments appear to have become melted together to form a single fused piece.Measurements: Max. length: 18.1mm; max. edge thickness: 0.85mm; total weight: 3.8gPart D (four fragments: max. length: 40.1mm; total weight: 48g) Part ESmall fragment of copper alloy binding strip. It is broken at both ends, and only a short length remains. The centre and one end are crushed and distorted, but it appears that it was originally C-shaped in cross-section.Parallels: Similar binding strips were recovered as part of the related 1843 hoard (M. 134).
