This corpus brings together five hundred objects which are considered to be stirrup-strap mounts of the late Saxon period. Only a very few of these objects have previously been published as the corpus is largely the product of a profitable liaison with metal detectorists. By amassing such a large body of finds I hope it will be seen that such cooperation can and does bear fruit. I hope equally that others will seize the opportunity provided by this potential source of new information to rescue, study and classify similar groups of finds.
