The object is sub-circular in plan with iron corrosion product on two sides indicating it is probably perforated by a small iron rod, which suggests it may be related to a structure/building. The face is decorated with a central raised concentric moulding c.11.8mm in diameter and 8 spokes radiating from it to a raised outer border. Single raised pellets are between each of the spokes. The mount is likely to be an external decorative fitting e.g. for pipework or a window. The object measures 29.0 in d…
