Description: | A copper alloy artefact, probably a mount of early-Medieval date, about AD 400 - 1066. It is rectangular in plan, slightly domed on the upper surface and slightly concave beneath. There is a circular piercing at each end to take a copper alloy rivet. One of the rivets remains in place. It is believed to be Early Medieval 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 mount has a smooth, dark brown patina. It is 15.4mm long, 5.1mm wide and 2.5mm thick. It weighs 0.5gmFor other examples recorded on the database, compare references SWYOR-E132C5, SWYOR-7CAAE7 and SWYOR-7CD8D7.
