Two copper alloy annular beads of unknown date. The beads both have a D-shaped cross section and have a large roughly central perforation. Unfortunately this style of bead was current over many centuries, however given the style of the beads and their findspot a date range of the later Iron Age to Early-medieval period would seem most likely. Several similar beads have been recorded on this database, including SF-B53242 and LIN-E32586. The larger bead measures 14.39mm in diameter and the smaller measures 12.80mm diameter.
