Description: | A cast copper-alloy unidentified mount of probable Iron Age to Roman date 100BC - 100AD.The object is incomplete, with a discoidal base and a hollow sub-circular projection with an abraded break. The outside of the projection is slightly ridged. Emerging from the underside of the base is an incomplete iron shank of possibly rectangular section.In appearance, the mount is superficially similar to a terret with a collared base, but it is definitely not a terret. The closest parallel that could be found was a linch pin, and this object may be an incomplete terminal though the identification is not confident enough to warrant the object ID as 'linch pin.'The length is 16mm and thickness 14mm.
