Note: this item was found on a known Medieval settlement, making the likelihood of this object being Medieval very high.  A copper-alloy Medieval strap end in very poor condition. The tip of the strap end is sadly bent over, possibly due to plough damage. The none damaged side shows two layers of metal, which the strap would have gone into, and three rivets, the tips of which are covered up on the opposite side.
