Unique ID: LVPL-F8256D

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation

An incomplete cast copper-alloy hooked tag of Early-medieval date. It is a Read (2008) Early medieval class A type 2 tag which is missing the end of the hook due to old breaks. The plate has a central circular hole with four concentric circles surrounding it. There is a second circular hole just above and to the left of the central one.

It is similar to examples published in Read (2008), number 62.

The recorder did not see the object or take the photograph and unfortunately there is no scale.
