A corroded and broken probable late early-medieval cast copper-alloy stirrup terminal (11th century AD). The recessed back would have enclosed one of the arms of the lower part of the stirrup (Williams 1997, 1). This hollow may contain traces of the lead solder by which the terminal appears to have been attached to the stirrup. The terminal is of a simple, trefoil design, with small lateral fleurs. The attachment end has received an old, diagonal break, extending right down to the shelf on the back, that is in line with the centre of the side fleurs. Apart from the moulding on the bac…

This is a mid 11th Century Stirrup-Strap mount made of copper-alloy. It is a Class A sub-triangular mount, type 16. There are only 4 others that have been recorded by David Williams (these are from Somerset, East Sussex, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire). The front of the mount has been very badly destroyed by chemicals in the soil and so it is almost impossible to see what image is depicted. The apex loop still survives and the two holes (where the iron fitting would have gone still remain - although they do not contain any remains of iron). On the reverse of the artefact the right-an…
