Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy object, likely to be a mount, of medieval date. It is of unusual form with a square, domed section and an integral loop, much of which is missing due to old breaks. The square section has a raised, square central portion with iron staining. There is an incised line which divides it from the remnants of the loop. On the reverse is an integral spike of rectangular section. The precise purpose is uncertain but it may be a bar mount with integral loop. If this were the case then it would likely be of thirteenth- to fifteenth-century date. No parallels have been traced however. It measures 20.40mm in length, 12.46mm in width, 5.38mm in thickness (including the spike) and weighs 2.30g.
