A fragment of an Early Medieval stirrup strap mount, dating to c. AD 1000-1100. The fragment consists of a broadly triangular stirrup strap mount which has been regularly pierced at intervals. Two circular piercings survive completely, while two are missing their outer perimeter due to its fragility, A further less regular pair of ovoid apertures are also largely missing and only to be hinted at from their upper areas, which survive. Along the central spine of the mount are two raised relatively square areas with a more circular depression between them. These are notably concave …

A worn late early-medieval copper-alloy strap-end of Thomas's Class E, Type 5, culturally Carolingian (c. 10th century). The strap-end is tongue shaped, with a recessed attachment end with two circular perforations, and terminating in a broad curve at the other end. The recessed step at the attachment end is on the reverse, with a 'ledge' below it; the strap-end thins from this point towards the terminal, attaining a constant thickness after a gradual thinning. The front of the strap end is decorated, cast in relief, with a floriated cross dominating the field within a raised borde…

An incomplete late early-medieval/Anglo-Scandinavian copper-alloy bridle cheekpiece (c. 11th century AD). The remaining object consists of one of the sides plates which joins a projecting arm, emerging broadly at a right angle, with a vestigial terminal loop. The surviving plate would have had an equivalent to the other side of the large hole through which the end of the bit would have travelled. The plate is formed of a outward curving Ringerike-style animal head and neck in profile. The neck is long and curves gradually; the head follows the curve, but curves upwards at the nose. At…

A late Early Medieval cast copper alloy stirrup-strap mount of uncertain class dating to the 11th century. The mount has five lobes with a central circular piercing at the centre. Moulded lines radiate from the centre to the junctions of the lobes and form six sections. The reverse is plain and undecorated.

A medieval copper-alloy harness hook with domed terminal. The dome tapers to a blunt point at its apex. Its underside is slightly bevelled before a marked narrowing into the hook. This continues straight down from the terminal for a short way before angling to one side, then recurving back on itself. There is a gap between the end of the hook and its body before the curve; this may have been smaller when in use, the whole squashed together for retention. The object measures 50 mm by 10 mm
