Time and place for this shield boss?

Well I think you've got the date about right there (late Hallstadt-early La tene), some very similar stuff here:

"Ein eisenzeitlicher Prunkschild vom Dürrnberg bei Hallein, Land Salzburg" pg 96-7 has illustrations...

In the above link clink on the PDF button for the article.

"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
