A copper-alloy strap end, dating to the late second to fourth century AD. The strap end is hemispherical in section, 'fish' shaped, with its body expanding and then tapering to a point. The strap end is not symmetrical, with one side tapering to a point before the other. The attachment loop is rectangular in plan with a rectangular perforation and is worn. It is similar to an example excavated from South Shields Roman fort (Allason-Jones and Miket, 1984, 3.602, p.188-18). The strap end measures 47mm in length, 8mm in width and has a weight of 6.3g.

A copper-alloy strap end and attachment plate, dating to the late second to fourth century AD. The strap end is flat and 'fish' shaped with a semi-circular attachment loop and piercing. A flat rectangular copper-alloy plate with a narrow attachment strip is looped through the piercing. The rectangular plate possesses a small circular perforation at the other end. The strap end measures 29mm in length and 9mm in width. The attached plate measures 28mm in length and 8mm in width. This example has implications for understanding how these strap ends were used.

A copper-alloy strap end dating to the late second to fourth century AD. At one end, the strap end possesses a rectangular attachment loop with worn semi-circular perforation. This extends to a plain, flat leaf-shaped body. It measures 32mm in length, 10mm in width and is 1mm thick. The strap end weighs 0.9 grams. Bishop notes that strap ends of this type are frequently misidentified as being 'Apron' fittings. 'More than enough dating evidence exists to show that these are not found in pre-Antonine contexts and there are even some hints that they belong with horse harness, rather t…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman strap end. This strap end is likely to be an unusual variant on the 'amphora' type, more elgonated and narrower than other examples but still retaining a basic 'amphora' shape, it measures 60mm in length and 12mm in width. The attachment end is incomplete as are the 'handles' of the 'amphora,' as their outer edges are missing due to old breaks. The rest of the strap end is worn and pitted due to corrosion, although no active corrosion can be seen now. The terminal end tapers to a small triangular knop. The front face is flat and the…

An incomplete late Roman copper alloy leaf-shaped strap end with both ends now missing, but likely to have had a bifurcated tip. It is 33.8mm long and 15.2mm at its widest point. The engraved ornament consists of large peacock and what is likely to represent the tree-of-life. The peacock stands in profile to the left and pecks the tree which has a cross-hatched trunk and four branches, three of which terminate in three fruits.

An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object. This object consists of a elongated lozenge shaped shaft with both terminals missing due to old breaks. It measures 28.6mm in surviving length and 13mm in width. The front face has facted longitudinal egdes and is decorated with small circular indentations. These form a border and there is one central one. This object could be the shaft of nail cleaner but with neither terminal surviving it is impossible to make any conclusive identification. It could be Roman or later in date. Richard Henry (pers comm, 2021) notes that this is in f…
