The rib is enhanced with three fine grooves. The …

A fragment of a copper-alloy hinged Roman strap fitting, dating to the period AD 200-300. What remains of the plate is openwork, with a triangular pattern, and measures 17.79mm in height and 38.41mm in width. The triangular perforation encapsulates a 'wheel', it is likely that there would have been one either side, mirroring what can be seen here, but the fitting is fragmentary. There are three rectangular grooves on the left, traversing the height of the fragment, broadly measuring 2.43mm length and width. Within these rectangles are evidence of what now resembles blue enamel, and ea…

A cast copper alloy decorative strap fitting (belt mount) of medieval date The mount has a domed circular mid-section and two short rectangular tabs either side. Through each tab is a small rivet hole which would have secured the fitting to a strap. Across the girth of the central dome is a cast recess with two ribs running across its width; these are decorated with multiple scores along their lengths. This form of belt mount was very popular in the medieval period and was in use from at least AD 1150-1450 (Egan and Pritchard 1991:26 no. 214).

An complete copper alloy Late Roman "propellor" type belt stiffener. The belt stiffener comprises a central roundel with two opposing triangular wings (hence the propellor analogy). Each triangular wing has two small V-shaped notches in the middle of the flat edge, and has incised lines down the outer edges. There is also a circular rivet hole in each wing. The roundel has a central dot with two circumferential lines surrounding it (ring and dot motif). The reverse is flat and undecorated.

Medieval (13th 14th century) strap mount or clasp bar: The copper alloy mount is rectangular and undecorated. On the reverse there is an integral, circular sectioned stud whose terminal is hooked over. The surface has a mottled mid green patina. It measures 17.73mm long, 5.18mm wide, 6.28mm thick and weighs 1.01g. The mount is possibly a strap fitting, but these appear to typically have separate rivets (Egan and Pritchard, 2002, Nos. 1132-1145). It is possibly a clasp bar such as those illustrated in Egan and Pritchard, (2002, Figure 76), but again these typically have a separate…
