A gold necklace clasp dating to the Roman period. The clasp comprises a circular-section tapering piece of gold wire which has been bent at one end to form a hook. At the other end, the wire has been bent to form a loop and secured in place by wrapping the wire around itself six times. A fragment of a circular-section wire chain link is threaded through the loop. The clasp measures 8mm in length and 7mm in width, with a maximum thickness of 2mm. The clasp weighs 0.55 grams.
