An incomplete copper alloy post-medieval (AD c.1600-c.1800) mount or possible box lid. Overall, the object measures 25.9mm long, 21.5mm wide and 1.43mm thick. It weighs 2.98g.

The more intact end has a short stump projecting from it which may have originally formed a loop, or knop containing a rivet hole. There may have been a similar piece on the other end, but too much is missing from that end to be sure. The front of the object is decorated with an engraved 6-pointed star with a hexagon of 7…

A copper-alloy post-medieval hooked mount dating to the 17th century. At the top is a circular roundel (8.25mm wide) with a circular perforation in it (probably for a rivet) and a small knop at the very top. Below this is a collar which connects the knop to the main body of the mount. The main body takes the form of a subcircular plate (25.80mm wide), which extends at the bottom to form a narrow neck with a two ridged collar connecting it to the hook. The hook projects forward at a 45-degree angle and then curves backwards and then towards the top of the mount so as to form an almost …
