An incomplete cast copper alloy vessel mount, possibly a bucket escutcheon of (probably later) Iron Age to early Roman date (c. 150 BC-AD 100). The object is incomplete, missing part of the left attachment lobe and an uncertain length of the hooked rear projection. The integrally cast object has a broadly trilobed form in plan, with two symmetrical comma-shaped perforated attachment lobes at the base (the left lobe is incomplete) and a larger upper lobe forming a suspension loop (maximum internal diameter 8.mm). The attachment lobes are thinner (c. 2.7mm thick) and set slightly at an …

A fragment of cast copper alloy object, probably a terret, dating from the Middle Iron Age to Early Roman Periods (c. 250BC to 200 AD). The object consists only of a short section of metal, heavily worn and ending in breaks at both ends. This makes precise typological study and dating difficult. The object consists of a curved length of moulded copper alloy, with two sections separated by an expanded moulding. The shorter section, potentially representing the bar of the terret, is sub-rectangular in section, with surviving dimensions of 9.4mm thick, 6.2mm wide and 7.1mm long. It joins…
