Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman lock pin or box mount. It has a conical head that measures 23.47mm in diameter with a concave upper surface and central conical projection. The projection and the edge/rim of the head have worn and corroded surfaces that are incomplete in places due to old breaks and with no obvious signs of decoration. At the base of the head is a short collar with relatively deep circumferential groove. Extending from the base of the collar are the corroded remains of an iron shaft of uncertain form, most of which is now missing due to old breaks. The entire object measures 23.47mm in maximum diameter, 15.68mm in height, and weighs 22.01g.This is probably an example of a Roman lock pin or box mount similar to parallels from Suffolk (SF-D079C4, SF-1AA6C4, SF-E3DCD7 or SF-E495C2) and box mounts from Coventina's Well (Allason-Jones, 1985: nos. 79-85) or lock pins from Colchester (see for example Crummy, 1983: no. 4143). It is of Roman date, c.43-410 AD.
