Metal Detector Find (2012)
NT 43 51 A fragmentary Iron Age strap fastener, the surface rather worn, was found during metal detecting. The surviving portion comprises a teardrop and boss attached to a rectangular plate, with traces of red enamelling. On its underside are the stubs of a broken loop for a strap c8mm wide. L 35mm, W 17mm, H 8mm. The form is relatively unusual, but the style is typical of the later Iron Age in southern Scotland.
