Cast copper alloy Iron Age button and loop fastener, Wild Class II. Dated from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD. This is a ring-headed type fastener and has a circular ring. The shank is broken just as it widens into the loop (which would probably have been sub-circular). It is bent at a 90 degree angle so that it lies roughly parallel to the ring.
