A copper alloy curved object of uncertain date or function, but possibly a mount dating to the Iron Age (c.300 BC-AD 100). The object is circular in plan and D-shaped in cross-section. There is a small gap at the back of the object where the two arms of the hoop do not meet. Due to corrosion damage it is unclear whether this break in the hoop is intentional or accidental.
