An incomplete copper alloy mount of Iron Age date. The mount is trilobate with a hollow central lobe flanked by two slightly smaller, off centre, hollow lobes. A worn projection to the edge of the central lobe, midway between the two existing outer lobes, suggests the presence of a further lobe which has since been lost to an old, worn break. A worn projection is also present at the middle of the upper surface of the centre lobe though its purpose is likely to be decorative rather than functional. To the reverse of the mount small knops project from the concave centre of each lobe. …

An incomplete copper-alloy object, likely to be a mount, of medieval date. It is of unusual form with a square, domed section and an integral loop, much of which is missing due to old breaks. The square section has a raised, square central portion with iron staining. There is an incised line which divides it from the remnants of the loop. On the reverse is an integral spike of rectangular section. The precise purpose is uncertain but it may be a bar mount with integral loop. If this were the case then it would likely be of thirteenth- to fifteenth-century date. No parallels have been …

An incomplete copper-alloy mount of medieval date. Mount is formed of plate which was originally sub-rectangular in plan with one vertical edge slight convex and the other slightly concave, mirroring one another. It was attached with two circular rivets one of which is still present. Two corners have been broken off. The style is very functional and it is undecorated meaning that it could date to most points between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. It measures 15.87mm in length, 10.24mm in width, 3.87mm in thickness (including the rivet) and weighs 0.55g.
