Description: | Part of a copper alloy mount, of probable Early Medieval date. It is of a simple, undecorated, rectangular shape in both plan and cross-section, and is broken at both ends. One end has the remains of a circular perforation to take a mounting rivet: the mount is broken at this point and only part of the perforation remains. Although the simple nature of this artifact makes it difficult to date, it is thought to be Early Medieval in date based on comparison to other similar finds, and because this site produces many Early Medieval finds. Its function is unknown but it could have been part of binding, maybe from a shield or vessel. The remaining portion of the mount has a dark grey patina. It is 12mm long, 6.2mm wide and 1.2mm thick. It weighs 0.47gm. Compare database records SWYOR-69B2E8, SWYOR-E132C5 and SWYOR-AA0222.
