Fragment of a sectional copper alloy bracelet. The object has a shallow curve in plan. It has a rounded triangular section with the apex forming the outer surface. At one end there is a circular recess and at the other is a short, circular sectioned projection. The recess and projection form a type mortice and tenon attachment seen on hinged collars of Iron Age date (see Jope E.M. 2000 Early Celtic Art in the British Isles Clarendon Press Oxford, p. 239 - 240).

Unfinished, incomplete shale bracelet. A partially worked rough-out for a circular shale bracelet which probably broke during manufacture. About half remains in the form of a crescent shaped piece of shale with a convex front and flat underside. The outer edge has been smoothed and rounded, but the inner edge is still roughly chipped. It is similar to an example from an Iron Age contex, described by Peter Cox in his shale report in "Buckniowle-A Romano-British Villa and it's Antecedents:Excavations 1976 - 1991 by Tony Light and Peter Ellis (DNHAS Monograph 18, 2009) pages 77 - 79, fig…

A fragment of copper alloy sectional bracelet dating to c. 400 BC - AD 43. An almost complete short section, probably from a two-part bracelet. The piece is parallel sided and curving, C-shaped in cross section (convex on the upper face). The ends are straight with a rectangular pierced lug projecting on the vertical axis from the centre of one edge and an oval cross-sectioned pointed lug projecting from the centre of the opposite end. The lug has a large circular aperture and would have attached to an axis point on the missing part of the bracelet in order to form a hinged opening. T…

An incomplete Iron Age or early Roman knobbed bracelet dating to the period c. 800 BC - AD 100. The band is slightly curved along its length and consists of a series of five conical mouldings of irregular size with rounded tops separated by grooves. The mouldings become wider and higher towards the centre of the band. The reverse is concave. There is a drilled circular perforation at each corner, two of which are incomplete due to old breaks. The bracelet has an uneven patchy green and brown patina. The breaks show the same uneven patination as the rest of the object. The bracel…
