Cast copper alloy hooked strap fitting of probable medieval or post-medieval date (1400-1600). The strap fitting is sub-rectangular in plan and semi-circular (D shaped) in cross section. It measures 46.1mm in length, 10.9mm width and is 3.8mm thick. It weighs 5.49 grams. The fitting has been damaged at both terminals. What survives can be divided into two parts; the body and the hooked terminal. The body of the fitting is flared and sub-lentoid (an elongated tear-drop shape) in plan. The upper terminal has broken, but would probably have consisted of a small sub-ova…

The object is an incomplete suspension loop, probably dating to the Medieval to Post Medieval period or fifteenth to seventeenth curies AD. The object is made of cast copper alloy. In plan the object comprises of a single sub-U-shaped piece of copper. Although the side arms of the object taper inwards towards one another, they are not joined together making the loop incomplete. The main body of the object is D-shaped in cross-section (with a flat inner face and a rounded outer face). As one moves downwards from the apex of the loop to the ends of the side arms, the loop becomes…

Cast copper alloy strap fitting or harness mount / strap slider of probably Roman date (43-410 AD). The mount is oval (teardrop shaped) in plan with a domed / convex front face and a concave reverse. In profile the slider is D shaped. Extending from the reverse face is a rectangular shaped (staple like) loop with an irregular rectangular cross section. This loop would have attached the mount to the strap or belt. The loop seems to be cast in one piece; however, due to corrosion on the rear face it is impossible to verify this. There is no applied or incised decoration present on the ha…

Cast copper alloy strap fitting, belt slide, of probable very late Iron Age or more likely an early Roman date (50 - 200AD). The strap fitting is broadly sub-rectangular in both plan and profile. It is cast in one piece. The front plate is decorated with a series of cast designs; these consist of a central raised rib with a centrally positioned circumferential groove dividing the ridge into two parts.
