A cast worn copper alloy and iron vase-headed linch pin terminal of late Iron Age to Roman date (c.400 BC - AD100). Description: The terminal has a flattened disc-shaped head with worn edges to give it a now rather misshapen appearance. Below the terminal is a short neck which has been protected by the terminal above and vase-shaped body below. Thus the neck patina is a very shiny and smooth blue-green in colour. The vase-shaped body is roughly two-thirds of a sphere. It has a circular perforation through one side to the other which would pin the terminal to the iron pin. There is a c…

A gold unidentified object, possibly a fragment of a torc or bracelet, of probable Iron Age date (c. 150-50 BC). Description: The object is comprised of two wires, sub-circular in cross-section, twisted together.

In many places, hammer marks and striations are visible. Both ends show signs of having been chiselled, suggesting that the original object was deliberately broken up. The fragment itself is…
