Copper alloy unidentified object fragment. A triangular plate with a drilled hole of diameter 1.5mm at its narrower rounded end, and torn across its wider end.

Length (as found): 15.8mm, Width: 14.5mm, Thickness: 0.6mm, Weight: 1.50gms
Notes:
The finder suggests this to be part of an assemblage amounting to c.5% of material recovered from an extensive site, the rest being removed illicitly without record. Archaeological opinion holds the site to have been of equivalent character to Flixborough, North Lincolnshire, in terms of its material culture. Coins are under-represented in the group
