A copper-alloy possibly medieval mount dating to the period AD 1100-1500. It is circular, measuring 32.13mm in diameter and 1.28mm in thickness, and is slightly concave. There are two small rivet holes, measuring 1.45mm in diameter, one either side of the mount. The mount is decorated with numerous incisions. There are approximately 22 horizontal incisions with a further 3 vertical incisions. It is not clear however whether this is an example of decoration or later damage. The patina of the mount is smooth, aside from the striations, and dark green in colour. The total weight of the mount is 5.85g.

A copper-alloy post-medieval mount dating to the period AD 1500-1700. It is lozenge in shape and flat, measuring 26.74mm in length and 20.28mm in width, with a broken shank and one knop. There are four knops, though only three remain, on each corner, supported by two further knops underneath. This joins a concentric ring of slightly raised circular knops, which encloses a cross, also comprised of these slightly raised circular knops. In between the stems of the cross is hollow, except for one of the quadrants. What remains of the stem measures 5.03mm. In total, the stud weighs 2.97g. This stud has parallels to no.249 p32 in Read's (2001) Metal Artefacts in Antiquity.

This object belongs to a type of rectangular buckle plates and belt mounts with projecting, riveted flanges at the short ends and a decorated rectangular frame around a central decorative panel. The decoration of frame and central panel varies. The range is illustrated by Windler (1989) and examples have been discussed more recently by Adams (2011). The mount from Martin is more likely to be a belt mount than a buckle plate, as it has two riveted ends rather than a hinge mechanism at one end for the loop. Its form can be compared broadly with the four far more elaborate garnet cloisonné sword-belt mounts from Sutton Hoo (British Museum, 1939,1010.6-9).The type is most commonly found on the Continent in the sixth and seventh centuries. The ornament of punched opposing triangles with niello inlay is also ubiquitous on metalwork of the period. A rectangular belt fitting or buckle with similar decoration, but a different central panel, was found recently at Culford, Suffolk and is going through the Treasure Process as 2016 T391.

Sixth to seventh centuries

An incomplete gilded silver mount, now in two pieces. It is broadly rectangular in shape and hollow to the reverse, filled with a white concretion that is hard and apparently brittle, with traces of a red colour throughout. The back-plate is missing.
The front of the mount is decorated with four triangular cells, the central two being isosceles triangles with one inverted, and the outer two being right-angle triangles placed in opposing corners. The cells are inlaid with coloured glass or gemstone, the corner pieces being dark orange-yellow in colour and the central pair being greenish-yellow and pale yellow. The latter has been damaged to the reverse and has lost the extra layer of white concretion, visible to the other central triangle at the break. There is a modern addition of white-tack or similar behind this, added by the finder to stop the gold waffle foil behind the glass from being lost. A gold waffle foil can be seen behind each of the settings. The damage to the central triangles shows that they were made as separate units with silver walls, turned inwards at top and bottom to secure the glass and waffle inserts in place. The rim of the cells has been gilded.
The settings are bordered on all sides by two lines of opposed punched triangles, many retaining niello inlay. The borders have been left silver.
The outer edges of the mount are gilded. The long edges extend slightly outwards from top to base, over c.3.8mm. The short ends are more obviously angled outwards, extending into a side flange at the base 1.2mm thick and c.5mm long. Each is pierced with three rivet holes and five of these remain, each one silver with a globular head. The central rivet of each flange is short (3.3mm long), burred over to the underside and a paler silver than the other rivets which are much longer (5.6mm long), move freely and the heads are darker in colour (probably tarnish).
The underside and inside of the object is not gilded (as far as is possible to see). The break is jagged and has broken the object at the centre, between the two innermost triangular cells.

A complete cast copper-alloy late early-medieval mount, dating to the period 950-1100. It is sub-triangular in shape, measuring 28.62mm in length and 30.21mm in width. The thickness is 2.09mm, and it is concavo-convex in profile (the reverse being concave). The front of the mount has Viking Ringerike-style decoration, with a round, iron rivet still in situ in each corner (each in a state of corrosion). Each side of the triangle has two cusps, creating a triangular projection in between each cusp. One of these projections has been damaged, resulting in a V-shaped notch.
A raised rim flanks the edge of the mount, following the cusped edges. Each corner is rounded with the area around the rivet being sub-pentagonal. A transverse groove and single-ribbed collar flanks the join with the decoration in the main area of the mount. A pair of curving ribs extends right from below each collar. In addition, from one two short diagonal ribs extend left into the right-curving pair of its left-hand neighbour; nothing appears to extend additionally from the left-hand neighbour; from the final collar an additional rib follows its right-curving pair but extends into a spiral at the centre of the mount. An additional rib projects from this, parallel to where the former extends from the collar.
The patina is a very dark brown, and coarse in feel. In total, the mount weighs 4.90g.
Parallels to this on the database include: DENO-AA43E2. It is also similar in form to Egan & Pritchard, p.203-4, no.1099 which was found in a context dated 1200-1230.

An incomplete medieval belt mount, dating to the period c. 1200-1400. It is rectangular in shape and convex (being concave to the reverse), measuring 15.09mm in length and 9.54mm in width. It weighs 0.39g.
Decoration on the mount is divided into thirds, the top and bottom sections comprising three knop-like ridges, the central of which is vertically arranged while the outermost ridges are diagonally arranged. The mount tapers inward slightly for the middle third. which has three transverse ridges and recesses. In the centre of these is a circular piercing, presumably for a missing rivet and measuring 1.89mm in diameter.

A possibly Roman copper-alloy enamelled mount, dating to approximately. It is slightly convex and lozenge in shape. It weighs 4.82g, and is 24.77mm long.
The mount has two bent spikes on the reverse. with 3.5mm difference in height. They are opposite one another, with a protrusion in the corner of the lozenge shape. The front of the mount is decorated with a smaller recessed lozenge shape, with traces of yellow enamel within. There is also a small circle within this smaller recess, with traces of gold enamel around the outside. Cf. Read 2001 pp.2, 5 no.28. This is described as a tack or a stud.
The spikes are similar (albeit thicker) to 17th century strap fittings.

A copper-alloy medieval bar mount dating to the period c. AD 1350 - 1400. The mount is hemispherical in cross-section. The central lobe is circular, concave to the reverse and domed to the front and features a band of four horizontal grooves tapering together and with a design of cross hatched grooves. At either end of the central lobe is a circular lobe with a centrally located rivet, both rivets remain. The mount is similar in design to one seen in Brian Read, 2001, pp. 23, nos.151.
The mount measures 22.31mm in length, 12.78mm wide, 4.02mm thick and weighs 2.64 grams.
