Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Medieval bar mount. It consists of a sub-circular central section decorated with engraved cross-hatching. At one end a short spur with a broken end protrudes, decorated with two short transverse grooves on each side. A break suggested that there would have been a further spur on the opposite side of the mount. The remains of a rivet can be seen in the centre of the reverse. A similar example can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991, p.214, fig.134, nos.1160&61). Bar mounts appear to have a wide chronology spanning the early 12th to 15th century (ibid. 210).
