NS 42 72 A copper-alloy mount in the form of a Pegasus was found about a kilometre NE of the Roman fort of Bishopton. The surfaces are rather worn; the legs and most of the wings are lost. The front part of the figure is represented, with a socket for attachment at the rear which broke and was replaced with a riveted fastening. Such objects (which are unusual finds) are usually identified as vehicle mounts.
Claimed as Treasure Trove (TT124/12), allocated to Paisley Museum
