Light Bead: 10.3mm in diameter, 7.1mm thick and weighs 0.9g.
Glass beads are very difficult to date with any certainty therefore due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date these objects any more closely and it could be Roman through to modern in date.
