A stirrup-strap mount of early-Medieval date (AD 1000-1100). It is a 'Sub-triangular Class A mount' according to Williams (1997), broadly fitting his Type 11 in terms of its overall shape, particularly the apex loop and the flange, but is decorated with a coiled animal rather than the typical lion. Therefore, its decoration more closely matches those of Type 10 mounts. The stirrup-strap mount is 57.60mm long, 34.15mm wide and 3.35mm thick throughout. It is sub-triangular and has a trilobed apex (14.90mm long by 15.80mm wide) which is perforated to create a loop. There is another pe…

A possibly incomplete copper-alloy early-medieval (AD c1050-c1100) possible stirrup terminal. It is similar in shape and style to other stirrup terminals but is quite small, measuring only 24.60mm x 7.45mm x 6.45mm weighing 3.14. There is a possible break at one end which suggests it may be a strap-end. The terminal is zoomorphic, with decorative features of a horse-like animal with ears, eyes, open mouth and tongue visible. These features are formed from raised ridges. Above the ears there is a straight section (4.75mm long and 6.50mm wide), which is decorated with a diagonal groove …

A fragment of a copper alloy early-medieval (AD c.800-c.900) mount, broken along its end edges and is damaged along one of its long edges.
