A copper alloy knop which is possibly Roman. The knob is 31.6mm thick, with a maximum diameter of 27.4 round the median flange. It is basically biconical, with a truncated and slightly domed top, concave upper sides curving to the medial band, and with the other cone elegantly extending into a shaft which flares out again at the bottom. There is a disc of metal on the base which seems to be acting like a rivet; it forms a thin, bruised, circular disc with a millimetre gap between the foot of the knob and the disc. The knob was presumably attached to a thin piece of metal, but not iron…

From middle of the curved side of the semi-circle a convex shaft projects. It is 44.7mm long, 19.2mm wide and 1.9mm thick. There are two circular holes through the plate, one in the corner at each side. One hole has worn through and is now open. There is no decoration. The other face is unremarkable; the stem is hollow. No close parallel has been found for this object. The shape and the deep patina suggest a Roman date.

Cast copper alloy casket mount with lion-head decoration dating to the Roman period. The object is sub-conical, having a sub-triangular section and circular plan. The lower rim of the object shows signs of damage. An undecorated, smooth band forms the base of the mount, this being of varying length due to the breakage of the rim. The lion-head motif starts on the step up from the undecorated band. This forms the mane of the lion and comprises short radiating, curved lines. The next step up forms the eyes and mouth of the lion; these are arranged around the raised triangular snout…

Incomplete Roman cast copper alloy ‘bell-shaped’ mount. It is circular in plan, with a concave upper surface with a central raised boss. There are two concentric rings bordering the upper surface. The lower surface curves inwards towards a cylindrical projection, with a central depression, where the shank or other means of attachment would have been located.

A damaged and incomplete copper-alloy mount of possible Roman date. A similar mount was found at South Shields Roman fort (see Allason-Jones and Miket, 1984, p. 237, no. 872). The head of the mount is rectangular in plan and has moulded decoration on its upper surface. This decoration comprises two moulded 'columns' with convex upper surfaces. Separating these columns is a much narrower vertical ridge with a groove on either side. The integral rivet extends from the centre of the reverse. The point has been flattened to hold it in place. The object measures 19mm long, 18.2mm wide…

An incomplete copper alloy object of probable Roman date, possibly a mount or similar. It comprises approximately a quarter of a ring-shaped object that is triangular in section with a flat outer face and slightly faceted inner surfaces. On the outer face are the remains of two integral projecting square knops that are incomplete due to old breaks. The fragment measures 36.62mm in width, 6.90mm in height, 4.91mm in thickness, with an original diameter of approximately 40mm and a weight of 4.48g. The precise function of this fragment remains uncertain. Possibly it acted as a mount f…

A copper alloy Roman mount. It consists of two conjoined parts, one a domed terminal with three knobbed projections evenly spaced, and the other a lunulate-shaped terminal, on the fourth side of the dome.

An incomplete copper-alloy artefact of Roman date. No exact parallel could be found for this object but it is similar to the terminal of PAS record no. BH-38B407, recorded as a 'mount'. A parallel for BH-38B407 was found in excavations at Wanborough, Wiltshire (see Anderson et al., 2001, p. 85, no. 52), in a 4th to early 5th century context, and is recorded as a 'strap-end'. The piece is drop-shaped in plan, with a moulded knob at the point. The wider, bottom edge is jagged, the object having been broken, probably in antiquity. The upper surface is slightly convex and the underside …
