An unidentified object made of copper alloy and iron. The artefact consists of a flat oval copper alloy plate (38mm x 23.7mm x 1.3mm, 5.95g) with a sub-circular 4mm perforation at each end. These holes apparently received iron rivets or pins, the corroded ends of which remain in the other object; this second piece is formed of a flat copper alloy strip, with small rectangular block ‘feet’ at each end, in the bases of which are the stubs of the rivets (32.5mm x 12.32 x 7.4mm, 9.46g). The upper surface of both the plate and fitting are decorated with stamped and punched designs, whic…

A late early-medieval copper-alloy strap-distributor, with one surviving copper alloy-strap attachment loop. The distributor is circular with three sub-circular perforations. All edges are rounded. The obverse is slightly convex and the reverse is likewise concave. The obverse is decorated with raised lines between the perforations. The surviving attachment is crudely made from a cast strip of copper alloy that was bent around through one of the holes; at the ends, the strip is joined by a small copper alloy rivet; the reverse of the attachment seems to have a raised line and punched …

It weighs 6.26 grams. The fitting can be divided into two separate parts; the body and the hooked terminal. The body of the fitting is relatively flat with a sub-rectangular cross-section; whereas the hook is sub-triangular (D shaped). The hooked terminal has been formed by bending the upper part of the fitting back upon itself to form a U shaped hook. This hook is undecorated and …

A copper-alloy adjustable belt or strap loop. The object resembles a buckle frame, but with no provision made for a pin. The single looped, sub-rectangular frame has two pointed internal projections. The loop is 24 mm in length and 15 mm wide. It is similar to examples illustrated in Bailey (2000, page 56; figs 3, 8, 13) which are dated to between the 12th and 14th century.

A medieval circa 14th century copper-alloy bar mount. This mount has an oval shaped lobe in its centre and two smaller rounded terminal lobes. It measures 17mm in length and 9mm in width at its widest point. The central lobe is rounded on its front face and flat on its back face, it is also solid. The two terminal lobes have in situ copper-alloy rivets through their centres, which would have originally have attached this mount to a leather strap or belt of some kind.

A copper-alloy strap fitting. The fitting consists of a single loop, which is D-shaped. On the flat side of the loop is a projection, 3 mm long, circular in section, and 1.5 mm in diameter. This presumably attached the loop to an object, possibly a small casket or other light item of furniture. The object is likely to be medieval to post-medieval in date.

Copper alloy strap fitting, possibly from a harness. The fitting consists of a half-round sectioned shank, with a sub-rectangular loop at one terminal. The opposite half of the shank has a thickened, ribbed section, with two copper alloy rivets through it. The rust-red patina of the copper alloy is suggestive of an 11th century date for this object.

Possible Iron age copper alloy strap fitting, 74mm long, 47mm wide and 3.5mm thick. The object is incomplete and has a brown patina. It consists of two pieces of curved metal, which when complete probably formed circles. The metal has D shaped section and is 8mm wide and 3.5mm thick.

A possible cast copper alloy fragment of a scabbard belt with leather: 25.5mm x 20.2mm; thickness: 4.9mm; weight: 2.81g). This fragment has been folded back on itself with one visible and remaining iron rivet still intact. There are damage/ scratch marks on one side, but on the other there are deliberate small linear markings crossing diagonally at irregular intervals. It also seems like the copper alloy casing has been cut away to form circular holes, possibly as some kind of decoration? There is a considerable amount of leather still held between the folded copper alloy, and that to…

A copper alloy hooked or looped fitting of 'socketed hook' type. Above the loop, the fitting widens into an open socket with a longitudinal bar to front and back. The bars run down to a circle, which forms the mouth of the socket. The junction between the front bar and the circle is marked by a very worn grooved decoration which continues down the front bar. A similar fitting from Linconshire (LIN-F29FC4) has been found with the disc shaped central connector. This has three holes through which two of three of these socketed components loop. For a more extensive discussion of these fit…
