Findspot - Roman bronze military cart fitting

1 Roman military cart fitting found in the driveway of a house in Tibbets Close, Alcester, and which is probably not in its original context. The upper part (40 mm) of a bronze mount is preserved. An eagle’s head, with a pellet held in the beak, surmounts a heptagonal socket. The socket is broken. The object belongs to a well-known type of military cart fitting.
3 The find was found at the above grid reference in the gravel of the drive of a house. It is possible that the gravel came from Bourton-on-the-Water rather than Alcester.
