Unusual and hard-to-date strap-end made from copper alloy. The attachment end is broken off, and the strap-end now consists only of one sheet 27.5 mm long, decorated on one face with five ring-and-dot motifs, tapering from 9 mm wide at the broken end to 8 mm wide at the narrower end which has two curved cut-outs at the corners. Off centre, between the ring-and-dot at the narrow end and its neighbour, is a small copper-alloy rivet which cuts through the ring. This strap-end is certainly post-Roman, and may be early Anglo-Saxon; it is not middle or late Anglo-Saxon, but may be medieval.

Cast copper-alloy two-piece strap-end. Narrow, tongue-shaped with rounded end. Edges and surface very badly damaged and pitted. Two copper-alloy rivets intact arranged vertically, securing plate at top. Traces of a further rivet hole. This object is difficult to date positively, due to its poor condition with the loss of much of its surface and therefore, also possibly diagnostic decoration.

Fragment of a copper-alloy item, possibly a strap end. The object is sub-retangular and 31 mm in length. It is 10 mm wide. One end appears to be a deliberate terminal of the item whilst the other end has been broken. 2 mm below the terminal is a circular hole, 3 mm in diameter. At the broken end there is evidence of a similar hole, although the break has occurred mid way across its diameter. The item is undecorated on both of its sides. It is difficult to place a date on such a fragmentary item.

An incomplete cast copper alloy Late Roman amphora-shaped strap end. The slightly curved undecorated leaf-shaped body narrows from the neck that has two kidney shaped holes suggesting amphora handles. The terminal of the body is now missing.

Roman strap end; cast copper alloy heart-shaped strap end of probable 4th century date. The form of this strap end is a variant of the amphora strap ends and, as such, has an openwork, double-lobed 'handle' to either side near the attachment end. There is a neck between the handles, which expands below them to a broad, rounded plate with two lobes at the terminal end, giving an overall heart shape to the strap end. The attachment end is split into two small, roughly rectangular plates which were held onto the strap with a single, circular rivet in the centre. The rivet is still presen…

A copper alloy strap end possibly dating from the Roman period. The body of the strap end is a tapering rectangle in plan, terminating at the closed and narrower end with a broken loop in the same plane as the plate. The open has a copper alloy rivet surviving which would have fixed the strap end to the strap. The object is worn and heavily patinated, but there appears to be moulding at the closed end, on the upper plate. It looks like oval rounded lobes (zoomorphic ears?) at the corners, and a transverse raised collar between then and the rest of the plate. The object has a glossy br…
