Incomplete late Iron Age to early Roman copper-alloy Colchester brooch of Mackreth’s (2011) type C 2 (the standard British type). It is heavily corroded and abraded. The catchplate, the tip of one wing, the pin and about half of the spring are missing to old breaks. The wings are short, flat on the reverse and probably convex on the front (this is somewhat obscured by corrosion). The integral spring projects from the reverse of the wings at the centre of the lower edge, forms four coils on the right (as viewed from the reverse) then passes as an external chord along the top of th…

A fragment of a terret ring harness fitting of late Iron Age to early Roman date, around 100 BC -AD 100. The bar is slightly oval in section and crescent in plan. It has two collared projections towards the end of one terminal. Beyond the collar on both sides the ring curves and tapers to old breaks. The breaks are both worn and smooth.

The complete object was certainly of the D-shaped ring and bar general type, but what remains is insufficient to enable a precise class to be suggested. It was most probably of the Simple class, i.e. the ring was undecorated and lacked excrescences (Lewis 2015, 87-9). Extant length 20.2mm. Weight 5.08g. 1st century BC - 1st century AD
