Description: | An unidentified artefact, possibly of Medieval date, about AD 1200 - 1500, possibly a strap fitting. It consists of a narrow, rectangular strip of cast lead alloy, square at one end and rounded at the other. On the underside of the rounded end is an integral, circular protrusion, possibly a mounting spike but now blunted. The upper surface has moulded decoration in relief consisting of two transverse rows of three pellets, separated by a single pellet and with a further pellet between the second row and the squared end, where there is a single transverse ridge. The squared end appears to have been chamfered and so the artefact is likely to be complete. There is also a possibly rivet hole near the square end, now filled with corrosion. It is 34.5mm long, 10.2mm wide and 8.1mm thick. It weighs 7.83gm.
