Found at Wedderburn,is the size of a saucer.Been suggested that the tea pot may sit on it or a top of a container.

Yes Rwork - I would go along with that suggestion.

Rwork, what a great and unique find! 
Looks like it might be silver by the colour, I agree about it possibly being a lid, and I remember that you could buy tea in small wooden boxes too especially for folks in the country.
Wedderburn eh!
Ive got an onsite van up there myself...

When i was a kid of about 10, i used to listen on my crystal radio set of a night, instead of going to sleep, To the Robur Tea Show, that i think had Graham Kenedy in it. Your find certainly brings back memories.
