Similar washers can be found on some of the Illlerup Knives as well as medieval examples though they tend to be flat rather then curved... see "Illerup Adal, Die Gürtel" and "Knives and Scabbards"

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
