Description: | Copper alloyStrap End. Sub-rectangular sheet metal plate with two rivet holes of diameter c.2mm, one retaining a rivet fragment, and an angled end. Staining on one side may suggest loss while attached to a thin strap. This simple form would be attached to the front of a strap and is grouped among 'later medieval' finds at Meols, Cheshire (Griffiths et al. 2007, pl. 23 no. 1504). Equally simple strap ends are, however, reported from contexts dating to the Early Anglo-Saxon period. Suggested date: Possibly Late Medieval, 1350-1500.Length: 22.6mm, Width: 7.4mm, Thickness: 1.2mm, Weight: 0.93gms.
