A fragment of a probable harness fitting of Unknown date. The incomplete loop has two breaks now making it semi-circular or 'C'-shaped. It is bevelled internally on the rear face. There are three knobs with recessed or concave ends at cardinal points. The object resembles an Anglo-Scandinavian bit link but the three projections are not characteristically like those on Anglo-Scandinavian harness fittings. It could possibly be Iron Age in date as it vaguely resembles some terret rings. However, the projections are a different form. This object has a green patina with some areas of…
