An incomplete cast copper alloy button and loop fastener, of Wild\u2019s Classification type II \u2018Ring-headed fasteners\u2019. The loop survives intact. It is a circular loop, with a long and wide shank, which bends to join the head. There is a shallow incised groove down the reverse of the shank. The head is broken, and only a fragment survives. It would once have been a circle. At the junction where the shank meets the head are two parallel pronounced vertical ridges. The button element, the head, has broken off either side of these ridges. The breaks are worn.
\nButton and loop fasteners are of British Iron Age tradition, which continued into the Roman period. For more details on button and loop fasteners see Wild (1970) Button and loop fasteners in the Roman provinces, Britannia vol. I, p137-147. See parallels: Wild, p139, Fig.1. Wild dates his Class II to the mid-first century AD, circa 25-75 AD.
