An incomplete copper alloy strap slide or fitting, of Roman to Post Medieval dating (AD 43 to AD 1600). The strap slide consists of a rectangular bar with incomplete ends. One end exhibits a 90 degree bend. The breaks are patinated.  It measures 31.0 mm in length, 8.9 mm wide and 10.3 mm thick. It weighs 8.9 g.

A cast copper-alloy circular loop of uncertain date. The loop has know datable diagnostic features. It is possibly a strap loop and just possibly a very small finger ring, although the small diameter (external 18.43 mm, internal 13.4 mm) and relatively crude execution perhaps makes this less likely. The loop tapers from 4.56 mm in height to 3.55 mm, and from 3.26 mm thick to 2.6 mm. The outer surface is much abraded and corroded but the interior has a smooth dark green patina.
