Full Description
Enamelled bronze harness mount (? small buckle, approximately 3 cm in size) found with a metal detector on ploughed land on (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s)(S1). The mount is shaped rather like a miniature terret ring with red and yellow enamelled decoration on a crescentic flange.
Bronze La Tene I dagger chape, found within 100 yards of the enamelled harness fitting, with a metal detector (s2). The chape has a crescentic end, terminating in two knots, which are tied to the main shaft by cast strips. There is slight trace of punched dot decoration on the outer face of the crescent. The chape belongs to a well-recorded group of La Tene I dagger chapes, most of which seem to date to C4 BC (S3).
