Record ID: SF-07461C
Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable Roman to Early Medieval mount dating to circa AD 43-1065. The object is cast in what looks like a high tin alloy. Its front face has rounded edges while it is flat on the reverse. It is comprised of a slightly raised broken arc with two outward projecting discs. Each disc has four regularly spaced apertures which give the appearance of a single expanding cross motif. There is some unclear decoration visible at the edge of the discs (possible small annulets). Two pellets project from the centre of the discs presumably used to mount the object.

Record ID: NARC-5D38F0
Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn and incomplete cast tin mount without rivet. The mount is sub-circular in shape having suffered losses. It is convex, reaching a maximum height of 4.4mm. The reverse features a groove running inside the outer edge probably as part of the attachment process. A Roman date is suggested given the large amount of Roman material found in the vicinity.
