A copper alloy Medieval cruciform suspension mount. The mount is crossed shaped with four arms extending out at 90 degree angles. One arm tapers to a thin point which is bent at the end. This was probably a suspension loop originally. A rivet survives in the back of the opposing arm. Small traces of gilding still remain in places. It has a length of 40.26mm, width 34.70mm, thickness 3.02mm, weight 5.39g. See SWYOR-6EF7E2 located on the PAS database. The mount is probably not a harness pendant suspension mount, as they normally have a double lug, but it is probably of similar date, pro…

A small fragment of copper alloy with a rivet still in position. The object is rectangular in plan and on end is an old break. The complete end is rounded. It is D shaped in section. A separate copper alloy rivet, which is square in section survives in the centre of the reverse. It is believed to be Early Medieval in date because its patina and condition are very similar to other Early Medieval finds from the same site, but it could also be medieval or post medieval. Its function is unknown but it could have been part of binding, maybe from a shield. It has no decoration on it. It has…

A copper alloy mount or fitting dating from the medieval period. The object has a zoomorphic terminal in the form of a dog’s head similar to those seem on ewer spouts.
