Description: | A copper-alloy strap end or mount, probably dating to the second or third centuries AD. The object comprises a flat, rectangular plate with slightly bevelled edges. At one end the plate terminates in a spherical end-knop. On the underside of the plate are two circular-section tapering lugs. The strap end measures 45mm in length and 6mm in width. It is 1.5mm in thickness. The lugs measure a maximum of 2mm in diameter and 2mm in length.The lugs are more reminiscent of medieval objects and so it is also possible that this is object is medieval, rather than Roman in date.
