Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman box mount. It has a conical head that measures 28.83mm in diameter with a concave upper surface and central conical projection with flattened top. Below the head is a cylindrical collar from the base of which extends the remains of a square sectioned shaft that is probably missing its tip due to old breaks. The entire object has a worn green patina with some slight damage to the top of the rim. It measures 28.83mm in diameter, 26.62mm in height and weighs 49.56g. This is probably a small example of a Roman box mount similar to parallels from Suffolk (SF-D079C4, SF-1AA6C4, SF-E3DCD7 or SF-E495C2) and Coventina's Well (Allason-Jones, 1985: nos. 79-85). It is of Roman date, c.43-410 AD.
