Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy strap fitting of probable Roman date. It is missing part of the attachment lug due to old breaks. The head is flat, disc shaped in form, and with a central circular dome-shaped projection. At the centre of the back face is an integral cylindrical shaft from which extend the remains of a flattened rectangular lug, half of which is missing due to old breaks. The entire object measures 19.60mm in diameter, 10.55mm in height, 1.50mm in thickness at head, and 3.33g in weight. This is an incomplete copper-alloy strap fitting or mount. Its form and general appearance suggest a probable Roman date, although a close parallel has not been identified and therefore a later date range cannot be ruled out entirely.
