Copper alloy circular, domed, hollow backed, mount. Approximate diameter of central perforation is 16mm. The central perforation is made up of what appears to be a separate piece of formed copper alloy inserted into the outer body, and defined by a concentric groove.

Copper alloy decorated disc, probably a post medieval mount of some kind. It has broken into two parts. Possibly a Roman or post-medieval lid, but there is no evidence of hinge or handle (DENO-9058F5 is also missing these but is smaller and incomplete).

One side has abraded raised decoration consisting of a central boss, then a band of raised beads, then a band of a possible cable motif, then another band of beads. On the other side there is a raised lip near the edge, this has three 'steps' in it. Nearer the centre there is a low…
