Description: | Two copper alloy mounts each with two rivets still in place, of probably Early Medieval date. The objects are rectangular in plan. One is D shaped in section, and one is U shaped in section. Each has two separate thin wire copper alloy rivets surviving, with the ends slightly thickened. The ends of the mounts appear to be complete. The function of these mounts is unknown but they could have been part of binding, maybe from a shield. The longer is 13.43mm long, 3.88mm wide and 4.31mm thick (1.44mm thick between the rivets) and weighs 0.46g. The smaller is 9.65mm long, 5.16mm wide and 3.96mm thick (1.59mm thick between the rivets) and it weighs 0.26g. The mounts are probably Early Medieval in date beacuse they are from a known Early Medieval site. They can also be paralleled by SWYOR-7CAAE7 and SWYOR-7CD8D7, also thought to be Early Medieval in date because they were found on what is believed to be a moot site with other Saxon finds.
