A copper alloy unidentifed object of uncertain date, Iron Age to Post Medieval. It is a thick, curved rod, perhaps part of a loop or hook. It is of circular section at one end (7mm diameter) and tapers to an oval cross-section (6.5mm by 4.5mm) at the other end. It is not clear whether the ends are the original terminals or not. It is 22.4mm long, 7.4mm wide and 11mm thick. 6.6g. The metal has a well developed smooth green patina. The size and chunkiness is similar to that found on late Iron Age to Early Roman miniature terrets such as SF-4ABC26 but this fragment is too small to identify with certainty and there are many possibilities for the function of this object.
