A copper alloy quatrefoil possible strap slide of probable Iron Age to Roman date, 300 BC - AD 410. It is a sub-lozenge shaped plate formed of four lobes, all integral and domed, the two middle ones being slightly longer than the end ones to make the overall form kite shaped. There is no visible decoration. On the reverse, each lobe has a shallowly hollow back. There is a very worn broken projection on the back of the end of each end lobe, positioned to one side at both ends, but not the same side, so any bar or pin joining them would cross the object at an angle. The edges are breaks …
