A very worn possibly Roman pelta shaped mount. The mount is sub-rectangular in cross section and in the shape of a pelta with abraded surfaces and no clear signs of breaks. It is a mottled green colour. It is 26.4mm longm, 14.2mm wide, 3.9mm thick and  weighs 4.49 grams. Similarly formed examples to this item tend to be Roman mounts such as SUR-E56164, WILT-D86F3B and NARC-7034EB although this is a rather thick example. Other object may also take similar shapes such as CORN-1758E2 such that another purpose cannot be excluded.

A largely complete Roman copper alloy mount in the form of a recumbent bull, dating to the period c. AD 43-410.

This gives the appearance of the head being slightly lifted, as though the animal is looking upwards. Two horns are depicted, one of which tapers inwards to a point, the other has broken off. The base of each horn is encircled by…

A circular mount, probably of the Roman period. It is made from copper alloy, and curves into a hemispherical dome, at the rear of which is the remains of a stud by which it was fixed. It is decorated on the face with concentric circles around a central raised circle. Although there is no discernable trace of enamel, it is likely that some of the inscribed circles had millefiori enamel inlaid, as this is a feature of these objects, and there is evidence of some highly corroded material. The finder notes that it is similar to one found at the Roman bath house excavation in Car…
