The fragment has a circular cross-section and each end is snipped off at 90º to each other. Curator's report: 2009T265 Description: A cut fragment of round section Discussion: Cut sections of gold metal have been discovered at the Iron Age site of Snettisham, Norfolk, and therefore it was considered that this object may also date from the same period. Unfortunately this object is undiagnostic, and as such metal analysis was requested. Non-destructive analysis of the surface metal content shows it is 84-87% gold, 11-13% silver and 1% copper. This metal composition would be consistent for the Iron Age period but this does not definitively identify this object as Iron Age in date. It is therefore possible that this object dates to the Iron Age but we cannot be certain. Conclusion: The object is over 80% gold so qualifies as Treasure in this respect. Based on form and metal composition, it could date to the Iron Age but it is impossible to be certain as there were no associated finds. It is therefore impossible to be certain that this object is over 300 years old. On the balance of probabilities we can therefore only state that this object is possibly Iron Age; therefore due to this lack of certainty in dating the object falls outside the stipulations for Treasure as laid out in the Treasure Act 1996.
