Late Iron age / Roman copper alloy end looped plain mortar, 74mm long, 16mm wide and 11mm thick. The object is in fair condition, having some corrosion and damage to its edges, and weighs 16.82grams.
The mortar consists of a proportionally large, circular cross-sectioned circular loop which folds into the main body of the mortar. The body is plain and is an elongated oval in form, with a gently curved profile. It has a U shaped cross section and it narrows to a shallow point at its end.
The profile matches eg. 89 Fig 10 in Jackson, R. Cosmetic sets of Late Iron Age and Roman Britain. These objects are only found in Britain and emerge from the native, Iron age, culture.
