The mount plate is sub-rectangular in plan with rounded corners and D-shaped in section. The middle narrows and forms three moulded ridges in the centre. On the reverse of the mount is a sub triangular rivet at either end. It measures 20.7mm in length, 16.1mm in height, 8.8mm in width and weighs 4.02g. A comparable belt mount is recorded in Margeson:1993, Page 41, fig 287 and around in a 16th century context and HESH-138D66.
