Description: | A small probable mount of Roman date. The piece is drop-shaped in plan, with a moulded knob at each end. The upper surface is slightly convex and the underside is concave. Extending from the centre of the underside is an integral rivet of sub-square section. The mount is very similar to BH-D710F4 which has been given a tentative Roman date based on similarities to BH-38B407, recorded as a 'mount'. A parallel for BH-38B407 was found in excavations at Wanborough, Wiltshire (see Anderson et al., 2001, p. 85, no. 52), in a 4th to early 5th century context, and is recorded as a 'strap-end'.
