An incomplete copper alloy stirrup terminal, of Late Early Medieval dating (11th Century AD). The stirrup terminal is sub triangular in shape, with a hollow back. The back still contains the original lead solder, which would have been used to secure the terminal onto the iron stirrup. A projecting ledge is present at the base, which would have supposted the extermities of the foot plate of the stirrup. The front of the terminal is heavily abraded and little of the original decorative detail survives. It measures 34.8 mm in length, 14.8 mm wide and 14.7 mm thick. The sides are 1.…

A copper alloy stirrup strap mount, of Early Medieval dating (eleventh century dating). The mount is probably of Williams Class A mounts, Type 16. It is sub-rectangular in shape and has an rounded perforated apex for attachment. It is slightly convexed. The flange at the bottom is a common right angled flange, and the two rivet holes are located above the flange on the front plate. The design on the front is hard to determine but it could depict an animal with large ears and a pointed nose. It is similar to numbers 361-363 illustrated in Williams (1997, page 78; figure 50). …
