Description: | A copper-alloy object, probably a chape of Post-Medieval date. It has a hollow conical body with partially incomplete attachment end, vertical seam on one side and two circular rivet holes to enable attacment. At the base is a projecting spherical terminal knop. The attachment end is partially flattened due to post-depositional damage and the entire object has worn surfaces with traces of a dark green patina and some pale green corrosion. It measures 29.82mm in length, 11.35mm in width (flattened) at attachment end, 5.70mm in diameter at terminal knop and 2.79g in weight.This is probably a copper-alloy chape of Post-Medieval date similar to examples recorded through the Portable Antiquities Scheme (e.g. GLO-F16F84, LON-3A5E28 or ESS-44CFD5). It is liklely to be of 16th to 17th century date if not slightly later.
