Roman copper alloy strap-mounted and skirted terret ring. The oval-sectioned loop is broken with just under half surviving, above a collar before a lozengiform skirt with rounded knops at each corner. The skirt is angled down at the front and back, and up at each side, partially concealing an oval-sectioned, curved attachment loop. One side of the skirt is missing.
Other terrets of this type are known from Norfolk, e.g. from Newton FLotman (NMS-DCB9F2, HER40445). Protected loop terrets are usually considered to be Roman, dating to the late first and second centuries AD.
Maximum surviving diameter of loop (external) 25mm, (internal) 19mm. Maximum width 37mm. Internal width of attachment loop19mm. Surviving height 46mm.
