Description: | A crude lead alloy harness strap mount, of post-medieval date. The mount is roughly circular in plan although one edge is flattened. The mount is slightly domed with a flat reverse which has an integral sub-circular shank, which still has a circular patch of leather attached to it. The front of the mount may have some crude lettering on it, three possible letters are visible one of which may be an 'E' however it is hard to discern if this is intentional or just the result of maufacturing. This is likely to be a crude horse harness boss for heavy cart or plough horses, of post medieval date, c. AD 1600-1850.
