A complete copper alloy box or harness mount, possibly of later Early Medieval date (940-1066 AD). The mount is quatrefoil in shape, with four trefoil shaped pierced lobes set around a circular base. This is concave on the reverse, creating a depression approximately 14mm deep. The centre of the mount is formed into the head of a beast, possibly a mastiff type dog or bear, but also possibly reminiscent of the semi-feline beasts seen on Borre metalwork. This latter suggestion is given due to the exaggeratedly large eyes, measuring 9.4mm across, which are almond shaped. A similar exa…

Salmon coloured pebble, possibly quartzite [non-specialist identification by MF]; plough pebble, as kindly identified by Kevin Leahy. Kevin comments: '...this is a 'plough pebble' which had been hammered into the sole plate of a wooden plough. The object type needs to be PLOUGH with plough pebble in the classification. I'd suggest a date of c. 800 to 1400AD. These are important, Niall Brady is working on them'. This corrects an initial identification as a 'polisher' by this reporter; a note on that vague identification and a similar object are now relegated to the notes field below. …
