An Iron Age-Late Saxon wound glass bead. It is long and circular-sectioned, with a circular longitudinal hole. The sides of the bead are irregular, swelling on one side and remaining fairly straight on the other, before narrowing at either end, with the spiral from the winding process clearly visible. The pierced ends are slightly irregular, but not broken. The glass is opaque, and very dark blue, appearing almost black. It is 21mm in length and has a maximum diameter of 8mm.
