Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A incomplete copper alloy object, probably a mount, of Medieval to Post Medieval date, c. 1200-1800 AD.

The sheet has been pierced on one of the shorter ends with three very small circular holes, with one still potentially holding a fragment of a rivet intact; the other short end has been broken. The decoration consists of a raised series of overlapping sub-rectangular shapes with one trilobed end. A vertical line runs down the centr…

An incomplete cast copper alloy projectile point, probably a javelin dating to the Bronze Age. All the survives is the tip and a small portion of the body. The fragment is sub-triangular in plan, and circular with rectangular projections in section. The round portion creates a visible round ridge down the centre of the point; this section is filled with a secondary hard black material, which has medium sized inclusions within it, and some red iron corrosion at the edge of the break. It is in good condition, with a dark green patina. It measures 37.82 mm L x 10.92 mm W x 5.40 m…
