Fragment of a solid cast copper-alloy torc or armlet dating to the late Iron Age or Roman period. The object comprises three solid reels joined in the centre by a solid circular shank. The shank is incomplete at both ends. The central reel is rectangular in cross-section and flat. The flanking reels however are plano-convex in cross-section with the flat side facing the interal reel. The reels are worn and corroded but they may bear a series of indentations around their circumferences. The object is slightly curved in plan suggesting that this item was once a large armlet or a neck torc.<\/p>\n
The reels measure 19mm in diameter and 6mm thick. The central shank measures circa 10mm in diameter.<\/p>\n
