Description: | Copper alloyEdging mount, possibly from a shield. Cast segment of a semi-cylindrical concavo-convex object. One end is sharply narrowed with a sharp lip, while the other is probably externally stepped, which may indicate an overlapping series of similar rebated segments, as might be required around an object of rounded form. As an edging, this would fit a board of thickness circa 7mm. The interpretation offered above is suggested by shield edgings from Late Iron Age burials at Wetwang Slack, East Yorkshire, though the accompanying and reported finds from this find spot should argue a Roman or later date. Suggested date: Roman, 40-400.Length: 26.1mm, Width: 9.9mm, Thickness: 0.9mm, Weight: 1.79gms.
